Bush offering worst of both worlds -US author
Edited on Tue Sep-21-04 04:44 PM by JoFerret
An old story but now on Yahoo

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/afp/20040921/en_afp/iraq_spain_us_saudi_040921172958

....
"The irony is Bush gives us the worst of both worlds," said Unger who has, along with film director Michael Moore, spearheaded a wave of anti-Bush sentiment and whose book "House of Bush, House of Saud," was the inspiration behind Moore's documentary smash hit Fahrenheit 9/11.

Castigating Bush for being in his view "soft on the Saudis" with regard to the perceived spread of extremist Wahhabist Islam in their own ranks, Unger charged that the president "has totally destabilized the Middle East."

For Unger, the United States' addiction to Saudi 'black gold' are likely to have dire consequences at a time when "we've turned a horrible corner in world history."

Around that corner, Unger alleges, is an instable geopolitical future, fuelled by the fallout from Iraq.

6. That's actually a good meme to use. Especially to answer the Zell Miller
crap. "I don't want PARIS to decide..."

"Oh yeah? Well, better Paris than SAUDI ARABIA!!!!!!!!!!!"
