I just don't even know what to say.

Where the hell is George W. Bush? Where is the President of the United States, when the entire Middle East is on the verge of going up in flames? Take a look at Google News on the Israel situation. Aside from one mention in News.com.au, the predictable "Israel has the right to defend herself," Bush is AWOL once again. Where does the president appear in today's news? Well, he's going to propose a new plan for dealing with detainees, and that's about it. The Republican Do-Nothing Congress is debating whether to continue to allow minorities to vote, and they're allowing offshore oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico 125 miles from the Gulf coast of Jebbieland.

The Bush Administration and their neocon allies are supposed to have a strong interest in the welfare of Israel. So where the hell are these guys now? I'm not saying we should get involved in what is rapidly turning into all-out war between Israel and Lebanon, but considering that Israel is such an important part of neocon foreign policy, you'd think they'd want to try to defuse the situation.

Of course this IS an election year, and the book of Revelation calls for just this kind of war, and Bush IS God's own anointed horseman of the apocalypse, so why not just let it play out?

Is that what Bush supporters voted for? Because that's what they're getting. Too bad the rest of us get it too.

Just as he was in the Texas Air National Guard, George W. Bush is AWOL again.
