I feel like the robot in LOST IN SPACE, that flailed his limbs about and shouted, “DANGER DANGER.” The reason is that I have been reading about aggressive rumblings from the Bush Administration. There are several articles recently proclaiming that Bush, emulating Julius Caesar, is preparing for another war. Just an hour ago I read the following:
“Seymour Hersh, writing in the latest New Yorker magazine, reports that American soldiers have been conducting secret reconnaissance missions inside Iran. The missions have been underway for several months, in preparation for potential U.S. military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.”
“Hersh says that the operations have been authorized by the president with little or no congressional oversight.”
We know that the neo-conservative agenda is to rule the world and seize the major oil reserves. That is fact, NOT fantasy.
We know that Bush when he lied about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq also inclded Iran in his war plans. He has come back to that strategy. You can fully expect the following to occur: Bush will declare some imminent danger to the U.S.. Iran has “intentions” to do something very bad to us, and he will have to take preemptive action to save us from this terrible danger.
Bush will again talk to God, who will assure him that Muslims are infidels, and that a crusade is needed. Bush, or Condi, or Rumsfeld will find that some Iranian leader is ‘EVIL”, with dastardly plans for humanity and needs application of cruise missles, tanks, bombs, grenades and about 200,000 American troops. Bush has already made Congress and extension of the oval office, and is able through his corporate friends and sycophants to override any criticism. In fact, the idea that criticism is treason will again be broached. Citizens will be arrested without warrant, phones tapped, homes search, and held incommunicado simply because Bush feels that he now has a mandate to do anything he damn well pleases. ANYTHING. Constitution be damned or changed at will.
You can expect his preacher friends to begin grooming him for sainthood with daily praises. YOu can fully expect him to change this democracy into a fascist theocracy.
Even my arch-conservative grandfather didn’t vote for this buffoon!
“America’s vital interests and our deepest beliefs are now one. From the day of our founding, we have proclaimed that every man and woman on this earth has rights, and dignity, and matchless value, because they bear the image of the maker of heaven and earth. Across the generations, we have proclaimed the imperative of self-government, because no one is fit to be a master, and no one deserves to be a slave. Advancing these ideals is the mission that created our nation. It is the honorable achievement of our fathers. Now it is the urgent requirement of our nation’s security, and the calling of our time.
So it is the policy of the United States to seek and support the growth of democratic movements and institutions in every nation and culture, with the ultimate goal of ending tyranny in our world.” Inaugural Speech
But look on the bright side. There is no little black mustache and attempt at world domination masked as ethnic cleansing. It’s only a monkey looking head and a power grab disguised as good old Texas Ranger Christian Values disguised as freedom.
“May God bless you, and may He watch over the United States of America.” Bush said.
