being posited metaphorically may actually be spot on. The more one learns about the Bushes, the more difficult it becomes to discount the "coincidences". People refer to Bush as a facist metaphorically but the family has long ties to the "real deal" which has been very much active since WW2. Mostly though Italian intel and  P2 connections.

What I found interesting was the Niger forged documents (Plamegate) have been linked to the same Italian operatives through Michael Ledeen whose name keeps popping up whenever some nefarious black ops appear involved. Ledeen works very closely to Bush and Cheney in this Whitehouse.
