Tinfoil Hat Paranoia of the Weekend

I have been wondering and wondering why Nancy Pelosi does not allow John Conyers to impeach Bush and Cheney. I don't think it's a lack of courage - it takes a lot of strength to hold Democrats together, which she has largely succeeded in doing. And certainly she is no Fascist.

In the past year or so, there have been many ominous rumblings about how the Administration is planning on bombing Iran. The drums of war are beating the same rhythm they played in the run-up to the invasion and occupation of Iraq. And of course, the reasons are the same: Oil, Pax Americana, and the keeping and holding of power by a regime bent on establishing Fascism in the United States.

Being that Bush and his puppetmaster are clearly willing to do so, why haven't they let the bombs fly? They feel unrestrained by the will of the people, since they veto every popularly-supported bill the Democratic Congress sends them (unless it gives them more money for the war, of course). The media, for the most part, uncritically repeats the RNC talking points of the day, even accepting the burgeoning meme that Iran attacked us on 9/11.

Yes, all signs point to war. So what's holding the Deciderer back?

Could it be that he worked out a deal with Pelosi, that if he didn't bomb Iran, she would not begin the impeachment proceedings? What a Faustian bargain that would be...

the chimp does not make deals. or rather, he makes them - he just doesn't keep his side of the bargain.

see: no child left behind, authorization of force against iraq, pledge to fire cia agent leaker, pledge to uphold the constitution,

etc. etc. etc.
