The Plan?
Let's recap the Bush foreign policy plan.
I know, stop laughing, I did say "plan". Yes PLAN, that is what I said. Right I said Plan....yes I know, stop laughing, they said they had a plan.
See they went into a country which they had NO Intell because they claimed that Saddam wanted to get nuclear weapons, and HE had to be stopped. So Bush took the US there in March 2003, with tanks and bombs to stop Saddam. We searched and searched but NO nukes, no program, nothing. And now Iraq is a Fiasco, on the verge of breaking up, even Jim Baker says so. This will totally destabilise the entire region for probably a decade.
At the same time Bush warned us about North Korea's real plans to aquire a nuclear weapon. So what does he do, REFUSE to talk to them unless he can bring a whole lot of people to the talk, looks like Georgie wanted to have somebody to HIDE behind when he was looking at Kim Jong Il, big bad Texan Georgie is after all. But the North Koreans saw the Bush Administration as a paper tiger, because it could add up the troops and see that Bush had overplayed his hands, so Kim Jong Il simply ignored Bush and went ahead with HIS very real program.
Well six years later Saddam has no nukes and the Iraqi's have no country, just a civil war, and the North Koreans have a NUKE and last night they unleashed the smoking "mushroom cloud" gun to prove it. So the Chinese, Japanese, South Koreans, and other regional players will have to respond. And their responses might lead to someone attempting to aquire nukes of their own. This will probably destabilise the region for a decade or so, until the balance of power can be re-established.
Heck of a job Georgie....
Hell at least one good thing for the repugs can come out of this. At this point Bush kind of makes even Denny Hastert look competent doesn't he?

Now there's some voice crackin dissent that I like to see Clif!!! Good job!!!
Bush has ignored all the REAL threats and has gone after the weak countries, you know, the countries that have no wmd or no military to defend itself.
Who wants to bet that the Bush Cabal will attack Iran now in response to N. Korea's test and then WILL STOP THE NOVEMBER ELECTION because our nation will be in national security mode?!!!
I bet the fuckers do that.
I hate them all.
Spit.

Thats all they do. Pick on the countries they think they can beat.
But Iraq turned out to be a surprise.
It reminds of one day when I was in elemetary school, and the school bully who picked on nothing but the little kids, picked on the wrong little kid. The little kids name was Dean, and he played the clairinet.
Well the bully cornered him, and Dean took his clarinet case and swung it, hitting the Bully with it over and over.
Finally the bully just ran off, battered and bruised.
Bush won't tangle with the big boys.
He invades Iraq because he "THINKS" they "MIGHT" have WMD.
North Korea EXPLODES a Nuke, and he suddenly is Mr Diplomat.
Go figure.
Everybody who knows anything about North Korea, knows, that ALL Bush had to do was show em a little respect, talk with them and maybe give em a few bucks to shut up.
All we had to do was engage them a little and we'd never have come to this point.
Now that horse has left the barn.
Bush can't show anyone respect because Bush has no respect for anyone or anything.
Bush is a moral degenerate who needs spayed.
Bush is a hippocritical fool and his ignorant policies are clearly failures, he claimed the reason for invading Iraq was to stop them from possesing WMD, but yet North Korea and Iran are developing Nukes right under his nose on HIS WATCH and the halfwit fool does nothing..........wonder if he will try to blame Clinton for failures that happened during his presidency on his watch just like he tried to with 9/11. repugs love to rewrite history with smear and fear, they despise accountability and they hate and fear facts and the truth which illuminates and lays bare their hollow lies for all to see.
Worfeus, we need to get ourselves a "Dean" to whack Bush and his Brownshirts repeatedly until they can't remember their own names!!!

THE MOST IMPORTANT STORY OF OUR TIME: Cheney makes plans to nuke Iran
If you are the sort of person who passes articles to friends, show 'em this one.
The print edition of the American Conservative includes a startling passage -- one which my readers will find evocative and horrifying. According to the article, Dick Cheney has personally instructed the Pentagon...
(Wait. Let's stop right there and ponder for a moment. Can a veep command the Pentagon to do anything? Apparently so! And here, you always thought the President was the Commander in Chief...)
Back to our story: Dick Cheney has personally instructed the Pentagon to draw up plans to nuke Iran immediately after the next terror attack. And we all know that such an attack is inevitable.
Iran will fry even if that nation has nothing to do with the terrorism!
The Pentagon, acting under instructions from Vice President Dick Cheney's office, has tasked the United States Strategic Command (STRATCOM) with drawing up a contingency plan to be employed in response to another 9/11-type terrorist attack on the United States. The plan includes a large-scale air assault on Iran employing both conventional and tactical nuclear weapons. Within Iran there are more than 450 major strategic targets, including numerous suspected nuclear-weapons-program development sites. Many of the targets are hardened or are deep underground and could not be taken out by conventional weapons, hence the nuclear option. As in the case of Iraq, the response is not conditional on Iran actually being involved in the act of terrorism directed against the United States. Several senior Air Force officers involved in the planning are reportedly appalled at the implications of what they are doing--that Iran is being set up for an unprovoked nuclear attack--but no one is prepared to damage his career by posing any objections.
The lives of untold millions may be saved if those officers develop a conscience and go public.
We need to get the Democratic Party Leadership interested in this story. And the rank-and-file. And the media.
Of course, right-wing propagandists have tried to convince us that Mr. and Mrs. Average Iranian really, really love America, deep in their hearts. That, presumably, is why Dick Cheney wants to turn them into glowing green vapor stew, even if they are innocent of any crime against us.

New Polls Show Bush's Recent "Terror Tour" Backfired Against Him and the GOP. Voters Are Finally Saying Enough
For the better part of the past several years, whenever the news out of Iraq got too negative, the Rovian strategy was to roll out President Bush on a national PR tour to bolster support for his failing foreign policy. There'd be a lot of smoke and mirrors and bait and switch involving the war in Iraq and the war against terrorists. And the strategy usually worked, at least in the near term, towards boosting Bush's approval ratings and diverting Americans' attention away from the war's failure. But just 27 days away from the critical midterm elections, it's clear that this game-plan no longer works. In fact, Bush's recent swing through several states to garner public support for the war and his administration's handling of it, is backfiring big time. Voters are rebelling, as polls increasingly indicate November 7th will likely be a dreadful day for the president and the Republican Party.
A new NY Times/CBS News poll released Monday, shows that:
-Those approving of Bush's handling of terrorism dropped to 46% from 54% in the past two weeks
-Americans are now evenly divided (41R-40D) on which party they think would better handle terrorism, the first time in Bush's presidency that Democrats didn't trail. Before Labor Day, Republicans had a 42-34% edge
-Bush's job approval rating dropped from 37% to 34%
-83% believe Bush is either hiding something or lying when he discusses Iraq
-57% believe Bush knew of pre-9/11 intelligence reports that warned of impending attacks using airplanes. This is up from 41% in May 2002
-47% of voters now believe Democrats are the party of moral values, not Republicans (38%)
Additionally, a Newsweek poll released last week virtually mirrors the Times/CBS poll on voter sentiments on the major issues including Iraq, terrorism, values, the GOP and the economy. Politically speaking, the numbers are pretty bleak overall.
In short, the GOP has lost its crucial edge on terrorism and values, and is sinking fast in the wake of the Mark Foley scandal and the explosive revelations that came out of the recent National Intelligence Estimate (that the Iraq war has fueled terrorism and made America less safe) and the new Bob Woodward book (that the Busheviks have been in a colossal dysfunctional state over the war, and that they've been lying to Americans about its progress or lack thereof). Voters are clearly disgusted and ready for change. With the Foley scandal having more legs than a centipede, victory in the House and Senate, once a remote fantasy, is now very much a reality.
Just like i've said for the last few weeks the smoke and mirrors and bait and switch no longer works, the American public is slowly waking up and realizing that Bush doesnt want to protect us, he wants to keep us afraid so the repugs can hold on to the reigns of power with Rove's dishonest "fear and smear" campaign.
