Bush's Foreign Policy

I know, long time, no post... No excuses here. Just no posting.

For now, I have a confession. In the dark corners of my brain I had been slowly composing a post critizing Bush's foreign policy. Then Bush reduced my workload significantly. He took what I was going to write in several paragraphs and reduced it to eleven words.

He said, ""We want peace. We're not interested in process. We want results."
Source (CNN): http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/08/14/bush/index.html

The three sentences, as I would unspin them say: "We really don't want peace, we start wars. We don't care why people hate us. We want the oil."

Anyway, hopefully there will be more on this topic later. For now, bed.

(Peace OUR way, not yours)


"We're not interested in process."
(I'm all for change, you go first)

"We want results."
(Republicans in 2008, so screw what you want) Oh and the OIL too.

I really think the oil thing is a bit of a red herring..... but maybe that's because I work for an oil company....

It's like Puff Daddy said... Mo Money Mo Problems.

Jake,

I'm not trying to say its the oil company's fault. Just that oil is where all of Bush and Cheney's interests lie (economic and political interests).

We want power and money and power. We can get that if we make you afraid--> of terrorists. We bring you terrorists direct from Iraq and other places. More fear, more likely you will relinquish personal responsibility and give all the power to me (GW) so I can make more money. We win. You lose.
BTW have you noticed that GW's physical handicap (dyslexia etc) has gotten worse? now he can't string two sentences together much less two thoughts. Comments?

You know, this reminds me of a history lesson. In WWI men were sent into war and commanded in war by people who were not necessarily on the battle ground. This resulted into a recklessness (for lack of a better term) of the use soldiers. Thousands were killed in battles of old-style tactics using modern weaponry. This war needs new tactics to deal with new weaponry (terrorism). We have not yet fully figured out tactics. I guess the thing that bothers me the most is that thousands a hundred years ago were soldiers; the thousands now include civilians, too. Whatever the motivtion, we should support our troops and bring them home.

As far as the dyslexia - speech impediments and learning disbilities manifest themselves more strongly during times of stress.
