President Bush and Prime Minister Blair were entertaining the faithful and unfaithful alike in Washington on June 7. They had the task of denying the facts of the "Downing Street" memo which was a British Intelligence report documenting in detail Bush's plan to remove Saddam Hussein in July 2002(1 year before the advertised decision). "But intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy." according to Sir Richard Dearlove. He is the chief of British Intelligence.
After dismissing the facts of the document( which also 100 members of Congress want an accounting) Bush went on to congratulate Blair on his reelection, " and I'm really thrilled to be able to work with you to be able to spread freedom and peace over the next years." Bush is a callous boob. His foreign policy of " freedom and peace " is a failure on both counts. Afghanistan and Iraq are in worse shape now than before our arrival . And the world is a more dangerous place for America because of Bush's preemptive war policy.
Spreading freedom? Well Hamas took Bush at his word and made a truce with the new Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Israel and ran in local elections. They did very well . In fact so well that President Abbas is postponing July elections under pressure from the US and Israel. Bush has stated publically that the US will not recognize Hamas elected officials! Bush's slovenly thinking has made him a glaring embarassment to the US. Whatever negative response comes from Hamas and groups like them will partly be a result of Bush's incompetence.
It is no wonder why army enlistment is down 62%. Why would someone want to serve this commander in chief- the useful idiot of evangelicals,zionists and neocons.
