Chris Floyd: End Game...is a War Bush's only means of survival?

End Game

The Bushists have only ever had two methods of masking the truth of their extremist ideology: sham and blood. Now that the sham is unraveling, their only choice is war.

By Chris Floyd

Well, that's it then. The show is over. The scales have fallen. The monstrous gears of the dark satanic mills that spewed their poison fog across the land have ground to a halt at last.

George W. Bush's performance in his nationally televised interview this week was so abysmal, so completely divorced from the waking reality of the rest of the world, that even his faithful spear-carriers in the far-right horde -- not mention the power-worshipping poltroons of the mainstream media -- reacted as if they'd been slapped upside the head with a particularly dank and smelly mackerel. They're shocked -- shocked! -- to find incompetence in this establishment!

As the delusion and dissembling tumbled from Bush's nervously pursed lips, his stalwarts at the National Review and the Wall Street Journal bemoaned his "bumbling," his strange "disconnection," and the "patently dishonest" answers he offered to questions about the larcenous boondoggle he calls a budget. The great gray goose of The New York Times -- which had notoriously stovepiped the lurid WMD fantasies of would-be Iraqi strongman Ahmed Chalabi and his Pentagon paymasters directly into the public discourse, fanning the fever for war -- reeled in disbelief at the president's "fuzziness and inconsistency" on Iraq and his frightening inability "to distinguish real threats from false alarms."

From hard right to soft center, the collective lament arose: "What's happened to our hero? Why is he suddenly shuffling, shifting, skulking, why is he telling such lies?" The answer of course is that nothing has happened to Bush; he has always shuffled, shifted, skulked and told lies, like some kind of nightmare reanimation of Richard Nixon's corpse. (Indeed, the main wormtongues at Bush's ear -- Dick Cheney and Don Rumsfeld -- learned their dark arts in the Nixon White House.) That the media poltroons themselves were guilty of "patently dishonest fuzziness and inconsistency" in eagerly swallowing -- nay, abetting -- the Stalinist manipulations of Bush's reekingly false public image is a truth not likely to be universally acknowledged any time soon by, er, the media.........cont'd

4. "Code Red and martial law?"

5. "By midsummer Bush will have 120000 battle hardened troops

back in the homeland and ready for new adventures." One can only imagine what fresh hell awaits. Kick.

6. I think the Bush crime family will be cut loose by their

controllers before it gets to this.

There must be some semblance of credibility left in the United States as something other than a banana third world country or the whole world economy will collapse. I think there are smarter people out there than would let the BFEE bring the blood home.

7. Mr. Floyd...

certainly has a way with words. Yet again, another terrific insight.

8. right on target

lots of americans are so naive (no one at DU of course!!!) saying, that could never happen here, or, our leaders would never do anything like that.

We know better, of course, and we know that the guys in this Bush regime will go to any length if they feel like they're going to lose.

After all, if God chose Bush to rule, then the ends justify the means. Anything they do is sanctioned by God, regardless of how evil.
