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.
