Did Bush set Laura up?

I'd like to think that GW Bush would not be so cynical as to put his own wife in harm's way for political gain. I'd like to... but I don't.

When I first heard about this trip, I wondered if it wasn't intended to get Laura attacked (or even killed) as a way of winning support for an even more aggressive policy in the Middle East. All I can say is, while I am no big fan of Pickles, I hope she gets back alive.

takes in his cowardly, secret outings to that area of the world.

because a real one might have attacked him

but whoever did it sure missed the boat. I'm thinking it was Karen Huge, but we'll probably never know. Right from the start I thought it was the stupidest thing I've ever heard of, but I never thought they'd put her in harm's way. :eyes: Never underestimate the stupidity of a neo-con.

Does he ever wonder if he too, is a pawn in the neo-con agenda?

Jeez, he even has to punish his WIFE for saying things against him.

but I bet Condi would :evilgrin:

difference. Let's face it, she's no Jackie Kennedy. She's not even an Eva Peron. Eva at least had a dialogue with the people, making regular speeches on the radio and going out among them.

I asked this on another post. Did Laura choose to go to dangerous sites in order to show she is as brave as Condoleeza?

control and now waves of sympathy for bush, who appears on TV biting his lip a lot and trying to look concerned, cause a small bump in his approval ratings.

There is a lot of drama and she is finally flown home with large headlines about how THE FIRST LADY BARELY SURVIVES GOODWILL TRIP TO THE MIDDLE EAST!

Then it is used as a convenient excuse by the bush administration to pursue an even MORE aggressive policy there.

Remember Shrub's remark the other day about Muslims being backward and barbaric. This give him more excuses to demonize them.

Of course the Israelis weren't too kind to her either but, well, we can't diss them now can we.+

Poor dear, days like this I bet she wishes she was back at the library.

this morning -

"If Cheney, PNAC and the Fed Society pull this off, I believe they will ----
accompany it with a 'happening' that will deflect from discussion and dissection thus delaying the realization of what really took place. It will take months for the citizens to understand the coup (and/or the martial law declaration by Cheney as some have hinted).

I think 'a happening' will have lasting effect by the attention paid to it. People will once more be asked to show their unity for the country.

The clues are all out there.

Recently, therefore, of importance: The Koran incident, the Saddam photos, the hunt for bin Laden, the rising role of Laura. The Koran story is old. The Red Cross had testimony long ago. Some say the Saddam photos are old or doctored. Laura is definitely out there. And now bin Laden.

My guess is that something will happen which requires Bush to step back. Laura and Cheney will run the country (figuratively for Laura). Or perhaps something will happen to Laura.

There biggest worry is traditional Republicans who know or understand a little law and legislative proceedings - those Repubs who have sometimes voted for a Dem because they want to ensure there is counter-balance of power. These traditional Repubs need to have their patriotic juices renewed. They are the ones who never believed that we went into Iraq for oil.

A few fundamentalists could use some juice, but not because they would care about or understand a coup. They would applaud it.

The most important group to juice by force of a camera and microphone in their face and knowledge of statistics about their constituents are Dem leaders in Washington, plus the Governors and Mayors around the country. Just as our Washington leaders (some of them so-called) accepted the Supreme Court theft of our vote in 2000, just as they approved of the wrong war in Iraq, just as some of them accepted the Patriot Act and the deceptions and aggressions of Ashcroft, just as they accepted the put option evidence, just as they bought the findings of the 9-11 commission - they will be forced to declare that this new happening is our primary concern and make a plea to the citizens to unite.

The coup will settle in under the cloak.

This happening will result in an attack on Iran and they may do Syria at the same time.

The clues are there. Their need is obvious. There are rumors of pending revelations about something that exposes the administration.

Tell me I'm wrong. Please tell me that I'm overly influenced by Hollywood or history or aliens."

(maybe I've been influenced too much also), but something is coming, I have no doubt. How or when, no idea. I just feel it also and I think you are right.

There is an atmosphere of almost madness in the world now, and I wish I could admit that this is simply "projection", but I really don't think it is so.

How I wish we were wrong higher!

Peace to you.
