September 14, 2004 No OBL, No WMD Bush 0-2 in '04
by Paul Sperry All of President Bush's chest-puffing, swaggering and tough talk over winning the war on terrorism reduce to one big nothing when you consider ââ¬â with the kind of cold-eyed logic and dispassion that eludes today's courtier press and punditry ââ¬â that on the two biggest issues of his term, he is a miserable failure.
The War President has broken both of the major promises he made to the American people to protect them from future terrorism. He vowed to get Osama bin Laden "dead or alive," and then, when that didn't happen, he said he'd secure Iraq's weapons of mass destruction so they wouldn't fall into bin Laden's hands.
On both counts, he has come up empty. Two big fat goose eggs. The bottom line is, after stripping away all the campaign bull and feel-good patriotic pap, Bush is 0-2 in '04: No OBL, no WMD.
Yet, despite these glaring failures, polls show a majority of Americans plan to reward him with four more years of power, taken in as they apparently are by his dime-store cowboy charm.
It's now painfully obvious that voters are incapable of distinguishing fact from fiction. They cannot separate the war in Iraq from the war on al-Qaeda. They cannot see we are fighting in Iraq a false front in the war for our survival while dangerously ignoring the real one along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, where bin Laden and the rest of al-Qaeda's central command have been able to safely function for the past two years, organizing attacks and passing messages to sleeper cells with impunity. (If you think you're safer because we haven't been attacked in three years, consider that ever-patient al-Qaeda first hit the World Trade Center in 1993, then came back for it in 2001. You do the math.)
In Bush, American voters are too ready to equate confidence with wisdom, decisiveness with effectiveness, inarticulateness with candor, likability with honesty, and indiscriminate might with right. Just as Bush is too ready to equate himself with Ronald Reagan, and his faith with God's will.
Those who are capable of seeing through the NeoCon Job are left with investing their hopes for a corrective course at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in a complete weather vane. After saying he'd out-Bush Bush in Iraq, John Kerry now says Iraq was the wrong war at the wrong time. This from a guy who voted for that wrong war. Sad truth is, Kerry is the wrong candidate at the wrong time.
So we're stuck with Bush, the son who didn't finish off al-Qaeda so he could finish the job his daddy didn't finish in Iraq. Which means they must be leaving it up to Jeb to finish off al-Qaeda; and then to his son ââ¬â the telegenic George P. Bush, who recently polished his presidential pedigree at law schoolââ¬â to finish the job his uncle started in Iran after the American idiots (apologies to Green Day) gave him a second term.
And the Bush men will all ruthlessly protect the ignominious legacy of their blood predecessor, with all its lies and power abuses. Each will pass down the key that locks the door to the closet piled high with Bush family skeletons ââ¬â from BCCI and Iran-Contra to Alabama guard duty to the 9/11 cover-up to U.S. intelligence fraud, Halliburton and Iraq war crimes.
We are a cursed nation, cursed by the Bush royal family to live under a "compassionate" dictatorship, a perpetual political dynasty of rich internationalists who rule by the whim of their interests with arrogant disregard for the interests of the American people and the restraints of the Constitution.
Who will break this curse? Certainly not the invincible ignorance of the talk-radio/cable-TV-addled electorate.
Let me off this ship of fools.

Paul Craig Roberts calls it [URL=http://www.lewrockwell.com/roberts/roberts68.html]"willful ignorance".[/URL] I call it a mental illness. Call it the "lesser of two evils" disease. Even the head of the CofCC is infected with it. I go on talk radio and give these dopes sources to refute the BS they're being fed from Limbaugh and other neocons and they refuse to even look at them. Fact is, we survived Bill Clinton, and most of us survived Jorge's first term, and we'll survive a Kerry presidency as well. Hell, we even got modest welfare reform under Clinton, something that a pandering George Bush would have never allowed to get past the Senate. It is time to withhold our vote, or vote 3rd party, because the mainstream parties have gone completely insane.

Orwell called it "doublethink." Freepers are engaged in doublethink when they preen themselves as patriots even as they mentally blink out of existence the obvious fact of Jewish treason.
Anyway, I decided to vote for Bush.
Actually, I get two votes, since the family and I will be out of the country in November and since Mrs. Yannis lets me decide how we vote.
That's two - count 'em, two - votes for Shrub in the battleground State of Wisconsin!!!!
He's a shoo-in.
I was considering voting for Nader, but decided finally that I have to act on my "worse is better" theory. I believe that Shrub is the more likely of the two candidates to expand the war (maybe even attacking Iran and reinstituting the draft) and break the budget with reckless spending and tax cuts. I'm hoping that his monumental mismanagement will be enough to finally cause the Empire to collapse.
That's why I'm very worried about [URL=http://www.originaldissent.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15086]this article [/URL] from Justin Raimondo, who argues pursuasively that Shrub is having serious second thoughts. I hope not.
I would like to hear others thoughts on the referenced article. If not it seems clear that Raimondo is right and Shrub will pull out of Iraq, I'll cast my two votes for Nader.

Recluse,
My sentiments exactly. Both parties are insane. Listening to the idiots on talk radio whether it be the "Kerry kool-aid drinkers" of Air America or any of the "Bush b.s. eaters" of neocon talk radio demostrates a complete lack of reality. Neocon radio is still making a big deal about Dan Rather. Too bad that these "patriots" don't have the same outrage over the Larry Franklin- A.I.P.A.C. treason scandal.

The increasing frustration I've seen in Tom Tancredo's face when he's asked to explain this immigration madness suggests to me that he agrees with us. Gridlock, elimination of the middle class, power and water shortages, ethnic conflict, and on and on, these aren't goals that sane political movements work to achieve. They've been blinded and driven insane by political correctness and it's time to carefully back away from these loonies and start a new party. BTW, Zogby did a poll on AIPAC that has some fairly encouraging results. Go [URL=http://www.cnionline.org/learn/polls/aipac/]Here.[/URL]

I agree with that, except to the extent that I think this isn't "madness."
It is a carefully planned strategy to destroy European, Christian and English-speaking America.
We must always assume that a man intends the reasonably foreseeable consequences of his actions, including Shrub.
Failure to control the southern border after we were attacked by illegal aliens and in the face of the tight controls placed on European Americans at airports, can only mean that the Shrub administration is not fighting terror, but fighting us white Christians.
It's clear.
I think that we need to state this forthrightly. The time for observing social decorum is long since past.

Walter, I've just read Raimondo's article "A U-Turn in Iraq?" and I would lend a lot of belief to Bush's desire to exit Iraq, [I]tout de suite[/I], except for one thing: over 1,000 dead American soldiers and counting, thousands maimed for life, and countless dead Iraqi civilians. Also, the Zionist control of the US media. If Bush exits Iraq after the hoped-for Iraqi elections in January and that country elects a non-democratic, anti-Israeli leader, that means Bush has sent countless people to their deaths and maiming all for nothing as well as not satisfying the Zionist lust for gentile death! Bush would be fried in boiling oil for that!
On the other hand, Washington will not accept the new Iraqi government if they don't recognize the Zionist Entity and establish normal relations. That means the US military is staying in the region indefinitely.
The Iraqi War is bigger than just establishing 'democracy'. It is nothing short of putting into power Arab governments that recognize the Zionist state and accept it's hegemony in the region.....and inevitably, the world.
We ain't going anywhere.
