POLITICS - Bush and Russia

Last Friday George Bush said, "With its actions in recent days Russia has damaged its credibility and its relations with the nations of the free world."

This is the pot calling the kettle black. In denial, George Bush has ignored his own arrogant actions and criticized others for doing the same thing.

For example, last Friday Bush said, "Bullying and intimidation are not acceptable ways to conduct foreign policy in the 21st century."

However, arrogantly, with megalomaniacal intent, Bush attacked and occupied Iraq ignoring Iraqi sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Bush had no business bullying Iraq. There was no proof of weapons of mass destruction. There was no proof Iraq had connections to terrorists. There was no proof of Iraqi involvement in 9-eleven. There was no proof Hussein was a threat to world peace.

Bombs falling on Pearl Harbor killing 2400 Americans was proof Japan had ill intent.

Occupying Poland and dropping bombs on Great Britain was proof Germany had ill intent. Iraqi troops occupying Kuwait in 1991 was proof Iraq had ill intent.

However, rumor and hearsay about imaginary "Winnebago's of Death" was NOT proof. Irresponsibly, George Bush sold the Iraq War to the American voters based on fiction fabricated by the Bush Administration.

Bush being critical of Russian creditability is extreme hypocrisy.

Bush himself destroyed whatever creditability the United States had by attacking Iraq with no proof.

To the regret of the American voters, Bush, and therefore the United States, has no creditability because of Bush's criminal abuse of power, ignorance, and pistol packing cowboy-like "shoot first, ask questions later" arrogance.

Shame on Bush.

Shame on American voters for allowing Bush to remain in office while he murdered over 4000 American troops and thousands of Iraqis in an ill-conceived war of his own choosing.

Regardless of what Russia is doing, Bush critical of bullying and intimidation demonstrates Bush is delusional and criminally irresponsible. Bush, a war criminal himself, is the pot calling the kettle black.

Just an example of the ol' Double Standard.

Emperor Bush can ignore the law (aka as Commander and Chief, he can ignore the other Articles of our Constitution AND break the law) and attack a sovereign country without provocation, but that's not bullying.

Thank you Brian
