Be Afraid...be very afraid.
At a farewell reception at Blair House for the retiring chief of protocol, Don Ensenat, who was President Bush's Yale roommate, the president shook hands with Washington Life Magazine's Soroush Shehabi. A grandson of one of the late Shah's ministers, Soroush said, "Mr. President, I simply want to say one U.S. bomb on Iran and the regime will remain in power for another 20 or 30 years and 70 million Iranians will become radicalized."

"I know," President Bush answered.

"But does Vice President Cheney know?" asked Soroush.

The president chuckled and walked away.

7. They need an enemy in the Middle East to justify their constant
military presence. The Saudis want us there, the Israelis certainly do. So one bomb in Iran will ensure the our oil companies will have our military serving as their free, public-paid protectors in that area, for at least the next 20 years, and Bush knows this.

That's how I interpret that exchange.

5. Self-dealing. It's not so much starting a war as "Busness Development"
Think of it that way and it all makes sense.

9. War is their Business Plan.
Can't have continuing multi-Trillion Dollar defense budgets without nukular-armed enemies.

10. And this post falls like a stone. Wake Up America.
LOOK, America.

LOOK at who is running your country.

They are INSANE. They are PSYCHOPATHS.

And they do not care one whit about human life.

They need to be REMOVED.

NOW.

20. It's not a question of what they know - it's a question of do they care

and the answer is: They do not


The common good isn't a concern of the Bush government. Never has been and never will be.

Pretending otherwise, that Bush is simply a bad president instead of the criminal enterprise the entire Bush administration actually is, does nothing more than allow Bush and the rest of the thugs to get away with more crimes.

Bush doesn't care
Cheney doesn't care
"The people" mean nothing to them - until they become an obstacle and then the people are just a problem to resolve...nothing more.

And by "the people" I mean any people...regardless of nationality.
