George Bush, like his father before him, and Bill Clinton, are globalists.
They don’t serve America. They serve their multi-national corporate masters.
Taking out Saddam and the Taliban were essential. But becoming the Afghan and Iraqi police and nation builders were not. By bogging us down in an unending occupation of both countries, Bush has compromised our ability to deal with serious problems elsewhere. You are correct.
His continued failure to react to Mexican violations of our border is not an oversight - it is deliberate policy. His multi-national globalist masters want a one world government to allow them to maximize profits with minimal governmental interference and a North American union is a step in that direction.
His failure to do anything about the Red Chinese and their inferior products and the American money drain is not an oversight - its deliberate policy to maximize profits for the multi-nationals.
His failure to assess the reality of Putin’s character was based on his flawed world-view.
The man and his administration have been a failure.
We should be supporting real Democracies of freedom-loving people like the Baltic States, Poland, Ukraine, etc. Not trying to create a democracy in an Islamic hell-hole. You can’t make a purse of a sow’s ear, and GUARENTEED, as soon as we leave Iraq, it will decay into the endemic violance, bloodshed and insanity which characterizes all Islamic areas. But again, Bush has manoevered us into a position where we made a stand and if we back down, we will lose face. We have already lost significant face by our failure to have detected the Russian mobilization and movement into Georgia longe before it occurred. By our wrist-limped response to threats of nuclear force against Poland, threats against Ukrainian soverignty, and failure to react immediately and militarly to the invasion and rape of Georgia, we have encouraged futher aggression by Putin.
Eisenhower, Kennedy, and others would not have been so blind-sided or pusillanimous.
As I have said many times, the Bushes are catastrophes - every bit as bad as Clinton. Those of us on the Right who were leery of this man when he was first nominated were correct in our original assessment.
The sad thing is we are AGAIN faced with a Bush - Kerry or Bush - Algore choice with McCain and Obama. We are forced to support a POOR candidate to keep and even WORSE one from Office.
Our political system is not working.
You may not like Bush but the alternative would have had us in a much less safe World. Bush stood his ground and got something done. Not like Clinton. We commit with Bush, and he’s going to finish the job. Was it costly..yes. Was it perfect no. But it has worked to keep our country safe. Like it or not we have a culture that many in the world would like to topple. There are decisions that have to made to keep us safe. The economic situation we are in due to our involvment in Iraq for example does NOT serve the multination corporations. I personally disagree with many of Bushes policies, but I don’t disagree with finishing what you started. And of course that isn’t free. We have to back those in the world —like Georgia— who are friends of freedom and who are being hammered. Georgia Poland and Ukraine should be admitted into NATO if for no other reason than Russia just attacked Georgia.
