Rejoice! For we are at the dawn of a "golden age of nuclear", according to the UK Government. There's just one wrinkle, says Ben Pile. It's reactors for shiny data centres, but unreliable renewables for the rest of us.

The Bleating Bush

category international | anti-war / imperialism | other press author Wednesday April 26, 2006 19:59author by peptide Report this post to the editors

Bush has responded to the recent bombings in Egypt with a finger pounding demonstration of determined imbecility; he once again identifies “the enemy” (as singular) implying a centralised terrorist group. If the USA had any credible intelligence they would know that the ‘enemy’ is in fact many separate and spontaneously occurring cells rather than a fixed hierarchical centralised group. Misinformation could be another reason the USA is failing in Iraq! US troops are unable to locate the “enemy” to which Bush and his administration continually refers – we should not forget that Rumsfeld briefs Bush on these matters.

However, the most curious recent announcement by Bush was after the presidential appointment in Iraq. Bush stated that this measure would ensure the “security” of the USA! That is perhaps more stupid than the singular enemy theory. Iraq has never posed a threat to the USA, prior or post invasion. Politics in Iraq are so far removed from US reality that one would need to interrogate Bush’s psychiatrist for an explanation of his irrational paranoid delusions. No connection exists outside the mind of Bush and perhaps a few paranoid neo-cons. Numerous bombings in Baghdad immediately after the presidential appointment quickly deflated anything the idiot US president announced.

The Bush presidency has degenerated to the level of bad circus entertainment; except for the fact that young Americans and innocent Iraqis are dying it would be laughable. The moron president rambles, drivels and bleats utter nonsense on every occasion he addresses the people. It clearly indicates a lack of accurate intelligence and informed advice; a picture of regime failure is presented to the public almost nightly via the antics of divorced from reality Bush.

It is no secret that Bush is the idiot puppet of ultra-right forces in the US, it would seem that more advisers have followed the example of Wolfowitz and Perle and have jumped ship. Without the support of adept deceivers and liars Bush is seen as the pathetic figure he really is, a sick personality entirely divorced from the real world. The American people can take a long hard look at themselves – a leader is only a reflection of the people. There is nowhere to go except backwards, more insanity, death and destruction, factors that follow the criminally insane, incompetent and totally inept like night follows day.

The world is witnessing the rapid decline of a very short-lived empire (approx. fifty years) and it is obvious that the people do not possess the will or fortitude to reverse this trend – in the face of glaring incompetence, the clown remains King!

God bless Asia.

Wolfowitz, not sure if he was pushed or deserted the sinking ship. But either way he still holds an influential position within the world community.

If I had fucked up as bad as him I would be delighted to be rewarded with a post that could be more influential in the long run than the bit part he played in manipulating the albeit pliable Bushites to war.
