I so think there is a money flow somewhere.
Or at least the scent of the promise of it in the future.
You cannot explain this idiocy bordering on national suicide in any other way outside of sheer corruption, even if hidden deeply at present.
Are you saying Mexico is paying Bush in some way, monitarily? That is probably as reasonable as any to explain inexplicable political behavior. Bush has a hubris, a pride problem. I saw that the day after his election to the second term. He said, “I have political capitol and I plan to spend it.” I can understand him thinking that, but it take refractory perceptions to actually say it to the camera. I was hoping that capitol would be used to promote conservative ideas....silly me.
