I love Bush, no really, I do.  He’s like that retarded kid that you just want to hug after he finishes 5th in the 100 yard dash at the special olympics.  The only problem is, nobody wants to hug you when you destroy an economy, obliterate any sort of positive foreign policy or foreign relationship, led your country down the rabbit hole of Iraq killing thousands of our own soldiers and thousands of Iraqi resistors, and thousands of innocent Iraqi citizens.  AND, now he’s still pushing an agenda of aggression toward Iran that can only end up in another immensely expensive (both in terms of human and capital) campaign against another sovereign nation.  Rhetoric from the top asshole in the state: (click here for full article)

Bush’s criticism of Iran came Wednesday during a news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert in Jerusalem. Bush is in the region to encourage the peace process between Israel and the Palestinians.

Bush called the incident “a very dangerous gesture” by Iran and warned the Islamic republic against any escalation.

“We have made it very clear, and they know our position, and that is: There will be serious consequences if they attack our ships, pure and simple.”

“My advice to them is: Don’t do it.”

Does anybody else find it ironic that this dipshit is proselytizing his aggressive agenda against Iran at a news conference in the middle-east during a mission of Israeli-Palestinian peace?  He probably doesn’t see any issue with that, because Iranians are not Palestinians and he’s mixing up his legacy items.  1) Middle-east peace, no problem in one year (check), and 2) Attack another country of “brown” people, ok let’s choose… Iran (check)

First it was the bullshit about the nukes in Iran, including rhetoric from Tony Blair… now it is this little incident in the Persian Gulf with some tiny Iranian boats that acted aggressively toward our ships.  Wah wah, the little boats drove towards us fast and made us cry.  What a bunch of pussies, here we are 13,000 miles from the US east coast driving a group of heavily armed warships through a 20 mile straight (Hormuz) in the Persian Gulf that is something like, I dunno, ZERO miles from Iran.  And we’re calling foul when some little speed boats get close and some asshole yells something over the radio? And THIS is what we worry about?  Get some perspective bitches:

Who does Bush and his cronies think he is fooling?  The Bush administration is desperate to salvage a legacy and take the focus off of the epic failures in foreign policy, domestic policy, and the failures in Iraq (let alone the incredible damage to the economy).  Bushy-poo the benevolent, will now bring peace to the Palestinians and Israelis, he will finally bring peace where many many others have failed.  Does the plan to have a Palestinian-Israeli peace accord by the end of 2008 seem a bit to convenient to you?  I’m actually insulted that this administration thinks so little of the American people.  Click here for a CNN.com propaganda article regarding the peace process.

As I discussed a couple of days ago in my post “Iran as a threat… et tu Blair”the current administration and the military industrial complex (MIC) is ramping up its pre-war rhetoric which has an end-game of aggressive action against Iran.  Cheney has been the latest to deliver the solemn news and a firm warning to Iran as reported by CNN.com:

“Our country, and the entire international community, cannot stand by as a terror-supporting state fulfills its grandest ambitions,” Cheney said in a speech to the Washington Institute for Near East Studies.

He said Iran’s efforts to pursue technology that would allow them to build a nuclear weapon are obvious and that “the regime continues to practice delay and deceit in an obvious effort to buy time.”

If Iran continues on its current course, Cheney said the U.S. and other nations are “prepared to impose serious consequences.” The vice president made no specific reference to military action.

“We will not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon,” he said.

Cheney’s words seemed to only escalate the U.S. rhetoric against Iran over the past several days, including President Bush’s warning that a nuclear Iran could lead to World War III.

Please take a moment to let those strong words from Cheney and Bush sink in.  Is this the legacy that Bush is looking for in his lame duck years to capstone his Presidency?  World War III?  I can’t imagine why else they (the Bush administration) are pushing this agenda.  The Bush administration must really have no respect for the collective intelligence of the American people if they feel they can continue to deceive and manipulate information toward a goal of further war.  They must be completely convinced the American people are idiots and won’t recognize the pattern.  This is pathetic and it makes me sick to my stomach.

We’ve seen this before with Iraq, it is a pattern (an algorithm if you will), it starts with “intelligence” about how somebody somewhere else is to blame for something (or our problems) and it ends with the US attacking that somebody.  In the Iraq example, it started with the “intelligence” regarding WMD’s, it turned into Iraq is a terrorist sympathizer, and finally into Iraq is a terrorist state and is somehow responsible for 9/11.  If that past (and very much present) mistake wasn’t enough, now we’re worrying about Iran?  You’ve got to be shitting me.  The military industrial complex and its “think tanks” are ramping up for another aggressive mistakewar.  And as a part of this pre-war propaganda and media hype, Blair has decided to reaffirm he is a solid “Bush-man” and make his opinion on the subject known.  Below are a few blurbs from a BBC news story:

But on a more serious note he spoke of what he called an extremist Islamic ideology.

“This ideology now has a state - Iran - that is prepared to back and finance terror in the pursuit of destabilising countries whose people wish to live in peace.”

“There is a tendency even now, even in some of our own circles, to believe that they are as they are because we have provoked them and if we left them alone they would leave us alone.

“I fear this is mistaken. They have no intention of leaving us alone.”

They have no intention of leaving us alone?  Hold the phone pal, what exactly have they done to the US, or the UK for that matter?  Since 1979, they’ve pretty much kept out of Western  affairs.  AND, if they are involved in Iraq now, it is exactly because we have provoked them.  I’m not defending Iran, I think we should just get the hell out of the region and let them sort it out for themselves.  Look at Vietnam, we are trading with them again, hell they are the new India in terms of high-tech off-shoring.  Blair, please do us a favor and shut the fuck up, when do you start working for Halliburton anyway?
