You wish, oldfriend. You wish.
Pere Bush's tears the other day were not about Jeb's stiff upper lip after an electoral defeat, as he claimed. Those gushing tears and that heartwrenching anguish, a public breakdown certainly unprecedented in American history for a former president, were for Dubya, with Jeb the convenient cover.
The Bush family went after Saddam out of personal animus. They were tired of explaining why Poppa didn't carry on to Baghdad after the Gulf War, and they all hated Saddam intensely for the assassination attempt on 41. If any other individual except George W. Bush has been in the Oval Office in 2003, the unnecessary and ill-advised invasion of Iraq never -- EVER -- would have taken place. All that we see happening now was easily predictable back then. Indeed, I predicted it, as did Dick Cheney* in 1991.
We don't need to be in Iraq to enhance the security of the American people. It was a disastrous decision to invade, made by an inarticulate, ill-read man who knows nothing of the lessons of history.
All of this is now evident to the family, hence Poppa's public tears.
*Once you get to Baghdad, it’s not clear what you do with it. It’s not clear what kind of government you put in place of the one that’s currently there now. Is it going to be a Shia regime, a Sunni regime, a Kurdish regime? Or one that tilts toward the Baathists, or one that tilts toward Islamic fundamentalists? How much credibility is that going to have if it’s set up by the American military there? How long does the United States military have to stay there to protect the people that sign on for that government, and what happens once we leave?
Hogwash
You can take your stuff and peddle it elsewhere.
In this avenue of true power.....Iraq has worked well.
As U.S. Dollars flood the mid east....and Afghanistan[Dope-istan].
The U.S. Dollar is the coin of choice of the crimminal Sunni/Shia,....which extends from great nation centres....to grotty dens of pyschopaths in Lebanon to Pakistan.
Russia and China offer little resistence to America's move...as they are both swimming intoxicated in U.S. Dollars.
Some 500 Million in Bribes went down in Russia in 2005 as reported by Russia Blog.
The money game is however tapering off in Iraq,....as Bechtel didi's allong with other main contractors.
Rumor is that former lost oil signatory of U.S. and B.P. in Iraq has been restored...with pledges that Iraq will not borse or follow Irans Borse attempt.
The Baker /Gates Iraq surrender group likely is giving Iran its invasion pass card for not borsing against the U.S. Dollar..or turning Iraq into Theocracy.
Iraq will continue in sectarian murder-death-kill until it is partitioned.
Things however do not go as planned.
U.S./CIA sided with Uncle Ho and allowed him to do his Communist purge run to ensure strongman in the region for narcotics and other fiscal endeavors.
Ho coperated handsomely...even besting the French as a sign of feilty [Game the French out of Indo China]
What exactly went down to turn Ho against the U.S. is speculation.....there are some books out there with theories.
anyhoo....Ho got pissed off and went Rogue....and eventually Vendetta towards U.S. Dollar imperative.
Platform Shoe Midgit of N.K. is kinda quiet right now....rumor is his offshore fantasy reality has been run to ground by Globalists...and with that...much of his narcotics run.
Iran is kinda quiet of late too....me thinks they have been touched : )....and consider their fate of the wheel in..."Two men enter....One man leaves"
They are not ready to take on the U.S. right now.....China and Russia are not ready themselves for the big break against the U.S. Dollar.
But down the road...it will occur,....or posture significantly enough that there will indeed be war,
Saudi Arabia has seriously underperformed in Iraq by its management of the miserable Sunni.
Look for Saudi Arabia to be Troubled by design in the next decades.
Allthough I can't stand Bob Woodard,...his report of a meeting at the beginning of Bush admin where power men gathered and said in one accord...."We have unfinished Business in Iraq" is spot on.
Now there is unfinished Business with Iran.....and Saudi Arabia.
Even Chavez is backpeddling in his Rhetoric....signs that his money is in jeopardy.
WW-2....The last true conflict where what was said was followed with resolve and clarity....issues spoken truly from the Government and too the people.
Since then..its been a downward slide of deceptive rhetoric and concession....playing both sides In All Matters.
Trust is nearly non existant now.
"In God We Trust".....dispatched to the rim of the coin.
