Come gather 'round people Wherever you roam And admit that the waters Around you have grown And accept it that soon You'll be drenched to the bone. If your time to you Is worth savin' Then you better start swimmin' Or you'll sink like a stone For the times they are a-changin'.

The times they are a changin’ in the Bush administration. The shake up going on at the CIA is of monumental proportions.John McCain calls the CIA a “rogue agency” and one can only assume that a “rogue agency” is one that refuses to march in lock step with this administration.
The loss of Colin Powell is particularly disheartening even though it was completely expected. Up until his embarrassing appearance in front of the United Nations he had been one of the few voices of reason in an administration driven more by ideology than fact. It is unfortunate that he will be remembered as one who simply towed the party line rather than one who courageously stood up for what he knew was right.

Come writers and critics Who prophesize with your pen And keep your eyes wide The chance won't come again And don't speak too soon For the wheel's still in spin And there's no tellin' who That it's namin'. For the loser now Will be later to win For the times they are a-changin'.

The Bush administration now has no system of checks and balances. The administration is successfully surrounding itself with yes men who know exactly what to say and when to say it.

We can only hope………..

Come senators, congressmen Please heed the call Don't stand in the doorway Don't block up the hall For he that gets hurt Will be he who has stalled There's a battle outside And it is ragin'. It'll soon shake your windows And rattle your walls For the times they are a-changin'
