The Opposite

Posted : October 30, 2005 at 8:00 am [America/Los_Angeles]

This administration’s grand schemes always end up as the opposite. Officials say they’re promoting national security when they’re hurting it; they say they’re squelching terrorists when they’re breeding them; they say they’re bringing stability to Iraq when the country’s imploding. And the most dangerous opposite of all: W. was listening to a surrogate father he shouldn’t have been listening to, and not listening to his real father, who deserved to be listened to.
