It seems more and more people are beginning to recognize what a whole lot of “war protestors” knew from the very beginning---George Bush’s efforts to establish democracy by waging war in Iraq is doing more to destabilize the Middle-East and make it a more dangerous place than ever before! The threat of nuclear annihilation is not exactly my idea of winning friends and influencing people, besides what will the effect of bunker busting nukes have on all that oil in the ground?

The technical legal or illegal issue of leaking Valerie Plame’s name to the press may no longer be in question, since we’re now being told George Bush has the authority to “declassify classified information” whenever his temper gets the best of him! Integrity and morality come to the fore, though, when considering the fact he ruined the reputations and the lives of the many people involved in this particular charade! It just goes to show, once a spoiled brat selfish son of privilege, always a bully! This kind of retaliation is not a sign of character and strength; it is just more proof he doesn’t really have what it takes to be President of the United States of America!

Hmmm, it kinda, sorta makes you think this administration is putting people with disreputable backgrounds into selected key positions, so if and when needed, they can intimidate them into doing and saying whatever they’re told. The threat of exposure works wonders with those in compromising positions, plus it can be a major provider of scapegoats when the necessity arises!

Another arrogant expert in the art of psychological deception, opining about Mr. Arrogance himself, Coulter on DeLay! What’s that old saying, “birds of a feather,” or was it “two peas in a pod,” or maybe like minded people? The Repuglican culture of corruption is all inclusive, right on down to include the likes of Coulter, who by the way is also being investigated for that little matter of where she voted way down there in Jeb Bush territory, Florida!

My God, we are living the nightmare of a horror movie, George Bush is the star monster and the theme is nuclear war! It’s amazing how those who feign faith and profess a belief in God are so willing to kill and destroy that which God has created!

Of course the story in the London Times article is another attempt at cover-up! With all the stories, all the ins and outs, and all the lies surrounding these bogus documents, it’s just not absolutely clear who and/or which government initiated the whole mess that helped to start a war in Iraq. In the end, some age old advice would be apropos, “follow the money,” and see where it goes! Exactly who wanted or needed the results of such a poorly executed deception?

It comes as no surprise, Baghdad has the lowest rating on the “quality of life” list of cities in this world, for the past 3 years running. With all due credit to George Bush, life in Iraq is worse than it was under Saddam Hussein! Now that’s a legacy any leader would never want for the history books, but Bush worked “hard” for it, he lied for it, and tragically he sent others to die for it!
