BUSH OUTSOURCES OUR NATION
By Peter Fredson

I have watched the disastrous regime of George W. Bush since his brother Jeb gave him the election in Florida by the hanging chads. I followed him through the partisan Supreme Court handing him the presidency. I watched Bush before the after the Twin Towers disaster, and saw nothing to admire. He made some speeches and put his arm around a fireman and his entire propaganda team went wild with enthusiasm.
I saw the quick response to the Afghan Taliban protection of Osama bin Laden by our troops, but then watched in disbelief at the way Bush outsourced bin Laden's capture. I listened to him and his entire cabinet for months threatening Saddam Hussein, avoiding embarrassment in letting Osama escape. and fulfilling their prearranged strategy for world domination and control of world oil resources.
Then came the endless lies to our nation and resulting stampede for war with Iraq. The Shock and Awe strategy sickened me, although I saw death and destruction through Omaha Beach in Normandy.
The Bush MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, the installation of a puppet regime, the vast depredations of Bush mercenaries, advisors, proselytizers, the destruction of a country by corrupt corporations, and the daily progress reports that all was going well, the flypaper theory, the signs over podiums announcing VICTORY, and the outsourcing of our economy all forced me to cast my vote for Bush as the Worst President in U.S. history.
The shutting down of our steel mills in Wheeling, Pittsburgh and a thousand other flights of industry by Bush outsourcing confirmed my opinion of the Worst President.
But now I am seeking a superlative for `worst.' Can it get "worser? ?'
Bush is now outsourcing our country, bit by bit. After years of using 9/11 to keep in power by alleging terror and security, he is now giving away parts of our country to foreigners.
First let me ask: Are Americans incapable of running our ports? Where are all the pilots, the stevedores, the tugboat operators, the inspectors, and hundreds of other skilled personnel, by loyal Americans? How come the British took over our ports? Did the British sell us out for billions of dollars?
How much money went to Bush cronies for this betrayal, this outsourcing, even to allies? How in Hell could this happen? Who in Hell was behind this deal? Why in Hell did the Bush sycophants let it happen?
People have recently remarked that Bush is tone deaf. We know by his constant 5 years of threats to Syria, Iran, and now Palestine, that his hand-appointed diplomats are the world's worst.
We saw him send Hellfire missiles into a small village in Pakistan without notifying its president.
We see him going hog-wild with arrogance in spying on his own citizens, violating their civil rights, and in asserting his god-given right to torture and abuse, to detain, to arrest without warrants, to set up secret jails, to overflights of sovereign countries without notification, and a hundred other dirty ways to keep in office.
And how in the world can we give any control to any part of our country to Arabs, who Bush has continually reminded are grave threats? Did his War Against Terror suddenly cease?
What people in his administration cooked up the deal, approved it in secret, stamped it with `DONE DEAL', and went on their merry way to the bank?
If we no longer have Americans that are capable of running a port, whose fault is that? Is Dick Cheney, the mighty hunter, to blame? How many neocons were in on the deal and is this part of their New World Order?
So, I must ask Bush: Are Americans incapable of running our factories, our ports, patrolling our borders? Why do you spit on our Constitution? Why do you not trust Americans? Do you honestly think, from your experience with the American Taliban, that all Americans are gullible, even stupid?
Why after you kissed Prince Bandar, walked hand in hand tenderly with him, did he assume that you wanted him to double the cost of petroleum?
Why are you building huge bases and a huge Embassy in Iraq?
Is the "Insurgency" so very dangerous for our troops into the next century?
And, finally, with whom specifically are we at war right now?
