Polk In The Eye With A [Big] Stick

Yes, I’m certain that of those 40% who favor annexation, 100% think that they’d be doing Canadians a favor.  Monroe goes north as well as south, hosers.

Speaking of the Hapsburgs, Bush’s démarche to Iraq reminds me of nothing so much as the Austro-Hungarian ultimatum issued to Serbia in July 1914.  Those demands, also issued in an atmosphere of outrage caused by uncertain provocateurs, were deliberately crafted to avoid the possibility of Serbian compliance and averting war. Bush must believe he has similarly trapped Saddam, or he wouldn’t admit to this tortured redefinition.

As the mobilization continues, don’t forget which was the only nation to actuallly achieve its pre-war goals by 1918...
