Am I losing my mind, or just my edge?

The constant onslaught from the Bush administration seeking to prove that we absolutely have to attack Iraq now is making me wonder if there's something to it all.

I mean, it's not just your average bulletheads like Bush and Cheney clamoring for the head of Saddam on a pike. Colin Powell and Tony Blair seem to think it's a good idea, too. Am I naive to think the latter two are anything but cronies of Bush in the Good Ol' Boys' Network?

But don't worry - all is not roses and sunshine here at Cock-a-hoop. I still cast a rather raised eyebrow at the timing of this must-bomb-now push, coming as it does in the weeks before a national election that could shape our country's next years, politically. An election, it should be noted, that seemed to be in the Democrats' favor, what with all the collapsing companies, sour economy, and such.

But you don't hear much about that now that it's all-Iraq, all-the-time. Who's wagging whom?
