The Oedipus Complex

(4)

Speaking of which, I need another beer. Standby... Ahh, I can tell you that Miller is just a bit less bitter than Natural Light, and 'warmer.' I bought a 32 ounce bottle of Miller today at King Soopers anticipating that I would need it to replace the beer I drank last week. Sure enough: I have drunk the five remaining NLs. I bought the the bottle of Miller in remembrance of that glorious commercial which I saw again this week.

But enough of my little problems. Seems the Bush Administration has much worse problems. John Murtha, a Vietnam veteran and 'long term hawk' has recently called for 'redeployment' of US forces in Iraq. Murtha calls the current policy 'a flawed policy wrapped in illusion.' He might be right.

I don't think the administration appreciates the psychological aspects of this religious war. I think that George Bush took us to war in Iraq for oil, Israel, and 'Bush family politics.' I recently saw somebody on tv refer to what I call 'Bush family politics' as 'the Oedipus complex.' It rang a bell. Does George Bush, who can not, or will not, pronounce 'nuclear' correctly, have the slightest inkling of 'the Oedipus Complex?' Probably not.

Being 'remembered by history' is, of course, a motive which I didn't mention, but which must be taken as automatic. No matter what happens we will remember George W Bush as the initiator of this 'crusade' against Iraq and his father as the initiator of the first such war. I claim that the current president Bush is ABSOLUTELY INCAPABLE of admitting a mistake, and that we are doomed to die over there for three more years.

I use the word 'we' advisedly, of course. I only plan to watch it on tv.
