biting anti-bush editorial in Pakistan's PakTribune
Edited on Tue Oct-11-05 11:28 PM by welshTerrier2
this Pakistani editorial hits the nail on the head with bush's "god talks to me" administration ...


source: http://www.watchingamerica.com/paktribune000004.html



In this latest case, for example, God apparently failed to inform him (bush) that countries like Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Jordan, Yemen etc., otherwise known as "terrorist breeding grounds," have offered hundreds of millions of dollars in aid and a wide range of other humanitarian assistance (to help with Katrina) – and with the full blessings of their peoples. God also forgot to tell him that Iran, his next axis-of-evil target, has offered to send 20 million barrels of crude oil. The U.S. State Department, however, which relies more on diplomatic correspondence that direct communication with the creator, these facts are known in great detail.

God also failed to mention to the President that while he was bogged down in Iraq, he would hit America with one terrible hurricane after another, and that the resultant damage will make impossible demands on the non-existent dinero in his treasury for rebuilding the Gulf Coast. Further, when God sent Hurricane Katrina, he didn't tell the President that it was not okay to play guitar and eat cake while people were drowning. Neither is God responsible for telling him to hire heck-of-a-job-Brownie two years earlier. (Ex-FEMA chief Michael Brown). <skip>



He also didn't tell the President that his Iraq War is going to kill hundreds of thousands of God's other children, including thousands of newborns. God also didn't tell the President that his use of depleted Uranium in Iraq would cause the birth of hideously deformed babies - babies that were otherwise supposed to be the same God's most beautiful creations. <skip>

The strangest aspect of George's communion with God remains the fact that he is always told to bring "freedom" to those of God's people who are in close vicinity of oil.
He didn't tell him to strike the North Koreans, for example, whose rulers are not only Godless, but have repeatedly declared their WMD-building intentions and whose malnourished people are in the most urgent need of freedom.

No oil-President Bush's God isn't interested. Very ungodly, one must say. Unless in the Presidential lexicon God really is a code name for Halliburton, the Carlyle group, Enron, Betchel and Co. Then all these omissions and commissions during Presidential powwows with God become instantly clear. <skip>

6. LOL
"Then, in an October 26, 2004, Good Morning American interview with Charles Gibson, he was asked: "Do we all worship the same God, Christian and Muslim?" His reply: "I think we do."

If true, this means two things. One, President Bush, the Taliban and bin Laden & Co. all pray to the same God. Two, all the killing and dying is done in His name. The only difference is that George Bush strikes them in God's name and they retaliate in God's name. He invades their countries in God's name, they resist in God's name. He kills in God's name; they die in God's name. George Bush eliminates a few “terrorists” in God's name, countless more come forward to take their place in God's name. There are more “terrorists” now fighting America in God's name than there ever were at any point in time before."

8. favorite paragraphs:
By all accounts, a huge 40% of Americans actually believe this cock-and-bull story of President George Bush's godly powwows. Are these Americans really so gullible? Do they not know that human history is replete with unhinged dictators with a God-complex, conceited leaders with a talent for exploitation, self-righteousness? Egotistical political elites and bigoted religious leaders who would go to any length to perpetuate their rule?

Do they need to be informed of the supporting cast of bloodsuckers, money grabbers and human lowlifes, who can put on a gaudy show full of sadism, trickery and revolting absurdity? Given a few moments at the center stage of the world, these charlatans are capable of destroying the lives of millions of individuals. Do they need reminders that when the curtain finally comes down on their hideous acts, the stage is invariably full of blood and gore with the dead never to rise again? Do they want to give these creatures more time?
