a change of "heart?"













So, Bush's whore, who advised the father against Iraq involvement (and then agreed with the son's neo-con cabal that it was a good idea) at an "energy conference" criticized the current president who is (again) picking up the pieces of yet another Bush mistake. Apparently his beef is with spending money on feeding Americans, instead of more effective means of killing foreigners.The charge, unproven and unprovable is yet another far right ploy of the "anything done by President Obama is wrong", genre.

Of course, the corollary after the Congress stalls needed legislation is to criticize for inactivity. This man's credibility was gone the moment he concurred with Bush, "Rummy," Wolfowitcz, Libby and the rest,. that invading Iraq was an appropriate action to take as national policy. As we now know, and all but the hardliners in denial will admit, the decision to invade Iraq was made before even the 2000 inauguration and was a topic of planning at the very first Bush cabinet meeting. The price of disagreement, as Treasury Sec. Paul O'Neill soon found out was a short stay in the cabinet. It must be wonderful to be able to criticize on the basis of certain deep seated hostilities and frame that criticism as legitimate political discourse, especially when you don't make any concrete suggestions, but simply throw rocks. Why not criticize the Bush White house for ignoring the Clinton warnings regarding Al Qaeda until it became obvious that there was the real threat, instead of an Iraqi strawman. Oh never mind, Cheyney was VP and, as he was won't to do, valued toeing the party line above all else, like telling the truth.
