I couldn't disagree more. GWB and his adminstration have an agenda which they are executing with competency approaching precision. And it's fucking scary.
The military-industrial complex pays itself by having a perpetual war. The military spends money on ordinance, armor, food, services, etc etc. This is big big business. Huge.
And GWB is the best guy to have at the helm. These mafioso criminals steal from the public and hand it out to themselves in a massive and crippling payola scheme that makes Tony Soprano look like penniless choir boy.
There are so many countless examples it makes me so angry that I have a hard time even writing about it. Halliburton, no-bid contracts, remember that massive pile of cash - yes literally mountains of $100 bills - that simply "vanished?" It was close to $1 billion dollars. That's $1,000,000,000.00. The biggest cash heist in the world ever by a FACTOR OF TEN. Maybe you don't remember because our bullshit, useless, worhtless (conspiring?) media didn't even play lip service to it.
We're not over there for "freedom," probably not even for oil (have you seen any oil coming out of Iraq? Neither have I). We are "over there" to rob the treasury for the cabal. And no amount of dead soldiers, dead civilians, free elections, or any other metric of success or failure that morally aligned humans would have make any difference to this administration. And they have been unbelievably successful.
GWB and his adminsitration certainly are not "incompetent" at:
- stealing tax dollars from every US taxpayer and giving it to an elite few inside the military-industrial complex. And then ironically handing even more to these criminals by lowering THEIR tax rate, shifting the tax burden even further into the middle and lower classes.
- Not only stealing money that each US taxpayer has NOW but stealing from every single American far into the future with massive debt, which is equally owned by every US citizen.
- Creating a perpetual war, which unlike Vietnam will never be "lost," and therefore we will never be forced to leave, or ever stop fighting.
- Succssfully branding the war with the "freedom" card. This was insanely successful at indoctrinating the public.
- Painting Dems as un-American for not "Supporting the Troops," and winning elections with it. And failing to prevent the largest terrorist attack ever on US soil and using it against us. Seriously, how often have you heard a GWB that didn't include MULTIPLE references to 9/11?
- Absolute and total control of the media.
- Usurping completely illegal executive power without a media whimper.
So it's time to admit something: George W. Bush is extremely competent, even scarily so (well, his admin certainly is anyway).
With 2200+ dead soldiers, 30,000+ dead civilians and over a TRILLION dollars quietly moved around, the last five years in this country makes 'Good Fellas' look like a fucking buddhist monestary documentary. This is what Casey Sheehan died for. And when I see Cindy Sheehan fighting back this is what I think she's fighting back against. Not only will they take 'your money,' they'll kill you too.
AND THEY DON'T GIVE A SHIT.
BUT, the majority of US population does. The 'GWB is an incompetent baffon' moniker is not only inaccurate, but counter-productive because the middle ground in America see insults as distateful. However, replace it with "GWB is a lying, murdering, stealing, power corrupt criminal," and PROVE it to be a true and honest description of the Free World's most important person and, well, we see a categorical shift in the way the majority of the US public view this administration, and the well-greased Republican machinery that supports it.
And the only thing we can do at this point is start winning elections. That's all we've got.
