Bush, ‘political cadaver’ -- It’s all but (over)

Bush’s natural unpopularity is magnified by the baggage he carries as a symbol of the meddling American Imperialist. America has a long history of exploitation and interference in local politics. Confusion seems to reign in Washington, what did the administration hope to achieve with this unpopular tour, one which was guaranteed to attract scorn, derision and headlines? Is this a strategic tour designed to divert focus from preparations for the attack on Iran or is it yet another example of neo-con ineptitude? The Bush administration will be remembered as the most politically inept in U.S. history. America has paid the highest possible price for its overt oil theft in Iraq – today America stands as the most despised nation on the planet, a classic pariah.

Hugo Chavez expresses almost universal sentiments against Bush/America. Today, nations need America like they need a ‘hole in the head’. America has displayed its contempt for all civilised conventions/laws and has undertaken a self-serving attitude toward the rest of the world, a stance that will inevitably end in war waged on the American mainland – the American pig against the civilised world!

With no external help America has defeated itself with its rabid, ultra-right, gung-ho policies. Who besides the slavish cowards, John (aluminium tubing) Howard and Tony (45 minutes) Blair did America hope to endear with its belligerent tactics? Slowly but very surely other superpowers (and smaller nations) are uniting against America; their mutual interests and political survival depends on a united front against the rogue that has marked its course with chaos, mayhem, murder and PLUNDER!

All the lies and deceptive tactics have failed to garner support for the murdering rogue, America now stands naked as the killer and avaricious pig of the world – the Bush administration has succeeded in destroying the USA, though the final act is yet to be played out. The script, however, is not written in stone but it would take a leader with the skill and intelligence of an Abe Lincoln to save the nation from certain annihilation – a quick review of U.S. leaders over the past few decades confirms the nation is lost.

Hugo Chavez understated the situation; the ‘cadaver’, President Bush, leads an entire nation of walking dead!

Powerful military nations that have undertaken an aggressive, self-serving, unilateral approach have always united the world against them. Without exception these nations have been vanquished by the combined strength of the nations they would dominate.

We are One.

Never ending 'surge'

Bush confirms troop escalation plans

March 11, 2007 -- BOGOTA, Colombia - President Bush confirmed Sunday that he will be sending thousands of new support troops to Iraq and Afghanistan, above and beyond the previously announced "surge" of 21,500 combat troops.

At a news conference in Colombia, Bush said an increase in support troops for Iraq was anticipated from the start, and his initial figure referred just to combat troops.

"Those combat troops are going to need some support," Bush said. "And that's what the American people are seeing in terms of Iraq, the support troops necessary to help the reinforcements do their job. My hope, of course, is that Congress provides the funding necessary for the combat troops to be able to do their job, without any strings attached."

Late Saturday, while in Uruguay, the White House released the text of a request from Bush to Congress to provide funding for the additional support troops, including a previously unannounced boost of 3,500 troops for Afghanistan. Those troops would be in addition to the president's decision to extend the deployment of a 3,200-member brigade combat team in Afghanistan.

National Security Council spokesman Gordon Johndroe said the $3.2 billion requested in the letter would pay for the 3,500 troops for Afghanistan, as well as an Iraq deployment of 2,400 combat support troops, 2,200 military police and 129 troops for provincial reconstruction teams.

"In terms of Afghanistan, I did announce, as a result of a review of our policy, an additional 3,200 troops," Bush explained during the news conference. "But in addition to that, the troops that you're referring to are going to be part of a training and embedding mission that I did also discuss during that strategy, although I didn't have any details of the troops."
