What is Bush Trying to do Pushing a Hateful Nominee Like Brash Bolton as UN Ambassador?
Why does Bush who claims to be “born again” find himself “wrong gain” in about everything he says or does? The original evaluation for someone like a Bolton to be qualified for a position when he had acted like an attack dog against the UN makes one wonder where George Bush is coming from.
Does Bush delight in causing controversy? Does Bush lack the brain power to appoint individuals who are truly diplomats and men of good will instead of making a move like the Bolton nomination from out of left field, and getting antsy when has cockamamie appointments are debated?
Have Democrats and Republicans suffered from air pollution in Washington? What is it that makes them go along with a failed president like Bush? Sure he hasn’t had a sexual affair in the Oval Office. But let’s balance good and evil. Isn’t it worse to launch into a frenzied war in Iraq, where an estimate of a hundred thousand Iraqis have died, their nation destroyed to a large degree, and 1,500 service personnel dead with over 12,000 wounded?
Why listen to someone who is such a colossal failure? Don’t talk for one second about being “born again” and Bush’s ranting about speaking to his Heavenly Father. I recall vividly when the elder Bush stormed into Tampa, trying to raise a few billions for aid to Saddam Hussein. Functionaries at Honeywell, where our advance weapons systems were made, were furious at the thought of backing Saddam Hussein in any way, shape, form, or manner. Bush declared at that point that the $3 billion loan would be beneficial to Republican Bob Dole’s farm state of Kansas, where agriculture products would be bought with the money we loaned Iraq.
Two years into elder Bush’s term, this much-vaunted foreign relations expert decided it was time to launch the Gulf War. Some experts insist if he had negotiated with Kuwait to insist that they stop their “slant drilling” where they were stealing Iraq’s oil, maybe we could have negotiated a peaceful solution.
The elder Bush rallied other nations to join the U.S. to fight Iraq, where the exact number of dead in the Gulf War has never been fully revealed. But interestingly enough the U.S. Ambassador to Iraq, when asked by Saddam himself what the U.S. would do if he launched a war in his rage over Kuwait stealing Iraqi oil through slant drill, April Glaspie responded with the answer that it was an Arab-Arab problem and the U.S. would do nothing if Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait.
Once Saddam was in Kuwait the U.S. set the war propaganda machines blazing as to the vital necessity of sparing Kuwait from the wrath of Saddam. The other nations joined in, and in a lightning strike war, it was over in s short span of time.
Bush at one point compared Saddam to Adolf Hitler. The actions that prompted such a reference strangely occurred when he was the beneficiary of U.S. aid that enabled him to enrich his weapons supply and attack the Kurds in his own nation as well as Iran abroad with poison gas.
Bush said that the UN had authorized only removing Saddam’s war machine from Kuwait, and he wanted to act in accordance with his international mandate and go no further. The message for Iraqis to rise up against Saddam was given, but without any backup. As a result Kurdish lives were lost after they had revolted at Bush’s behest.
Now, having created such a current mess of our international relations, the younger Bush has the audacity to appoint an unpleasant, arrogant attack dog like Bolton to the UN, as if he had a death wish for good American relations with the rest of the world as well as decimating the world’s leading international body.
The Republican robots already have enough to account for, for going along with the assorted nightmares, quagmires, and foolish economic decisions of the president, who was no great shakes in college or anywhere else where thought was required. Won’t anyone stand up to what is happening by taking the first step in the process of removing Bush from office?
Jobs are being shipped out of the U.S. in alarmingly increasing numbers. Entire factories disassemble in the U.S. and reassemble in Third World nations. A staggering national debt continues precipitously climbing. Our dollar is in the process of being demolished while any faith in U.S. economic stability has been shattered. The direction of the Republicans, led by a born again president who claims to get his advice on major decisions directly from God, leads us along a perilous path toward destruction.
Loyal Americans can determine where Tom DeLay and his allies are coming from and must now demand accountability and remind these trespassers and Constitution wreckers that they have been exposed for what they are, failures, and it is time to carefully evaluate every appointment they make, unless they want bankruptcy and increasing disrespect from nations throughout the world. If a man as unqualified as John Bolton is accepted, those spineless robots must share the blame that went along with another Bush misdirected nomination.
A White House spokesperson said Bush is sticking with Bolton. Why? There is unease over Bolton. An April 25 article in the Miami Herald states, “Unease over his past hostility toward the United Nations and accusations that he tried to pressure career intelligence analysts into twisting facts for political reasons.” Could it be that Bush wants Bolton for this very reason? Can U.S. citizens feel safe with a man like Bush?
The British got Bolton out of the negotiating process when seeking a treaty with Libya to give up its nuclear weapon capability after they observed that he had been equally impossible in dealing with Iran.
Is Bush trying to make enemies, thinking he can use the war making power of the U.S. to back up any cockamamie idea that creeps into his head? With so much that he could be impeached for the burning question is: Why hasn’t this happened long ago?
