How Much More Will We Eat From Bush's Hand?
Issues Beyond Palo Alto, posted by a, a resident of the Adobe-Meadows neighborhood, on Jul 2, 2008 at 9:27 pm

This is better than any conspiracy movie Hollywood could ever make up. President of the wealthiest and most powerful nation in the world litigates his way to the White House. He uses the disguise of being a family man to get the public to like him, but under cover he was a drunk, a drug user, and bankrupted several companies. He and his Vice President have strong ties to the oil industry, decide to invade an oil rich country under the pretense of security. In chaos and confusion, he beheads the leader of the oil rich country, then deploys the country's soldiers to defend the ministry of oil while leaving museums, schools, and women undefended to be raped and pilaged. Meanwhile, before all the world to see, he and his business friends secure the oil fields. Back at home, floods, earthquakes, mounting debt, a failing economy plague his country. Yet instead of addressing the fast and obvious problems his nation faces, the hardened leader insists on torture and increased surveillance of his citizens, leaving his people weakened and afraid.

Web Link?

Bush administration officials knew that a Texas oil company with close ties to President Bush was planning to sign an oil deal with the regional Kurdistan government that ran counter to American policy and undercut Iraq’s central government, a Congressional committee has concluded.

The conclusions were based on e-mail messages and other documents that the committee released Wednesday.

A viable Kurdistan is in the interest of world peace. The rest of Iraq need to know that theirs is not the only show in town. The rest of the content above can be evaluated based on the assertion, fully disproved by evidence enough to convince even 'Dewey" Waxman to give it up, that the courts decided against the law.

Again, the best thing to do is to not respond too "a" or Mike. They/he/she wants simply to stir it up. Don't answer, and guess what, the posts become like little turds dropped in the woods, just dry up and turn into dust.

America has become a country led by "turds". Just look at the Children's Theater embezzlement case. What an embarassment. The saddest thing it's happening at the local level, the city level, the state level, all the way up to the White House.

hmmm..look at the number of clinton staffers, as well as clinton himself, who ended up convicted versus the number of bush staffers convicted,..then tell me which white house is more "turd" like.

how silly can you get?

Bush is off to his final G-8 meeting and the entire world expects NOTHING from him. silly, you can wish all you want that Bush is your king, but the king has no clothes, and you're naked! Ha, ha!

a...this country needs 1000 people like you.

Unfortunately the reality is that there are a few million, and that is a big part of the problem...
