First time as farce, second time as farce too?
With President Bush again stating that force is still on the table against Iran, albeit only as the last resort, German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder has kicked off his uphill reelection drive with an attack on President Bush’s Middle Eastern belligerence.
All of this, of course, provides an uncanny replay of the build up to the US invasion of Iraq with the German Chancellor leveraging reelection on the axis of President Bush’s warmongering.
(ed.note: My literary powers failed me when I tried to come up with a joke suitably humorous and grim to fully capture the ridiculousness of President Bush’s continued insistence that he is willing to use force but only as a last resort. Perhaps someone out there can help?)
