Mary Poppins politics from President Bush
"Freedom in Iraq is on the march. ... We are on the path to stability and democracy throughout the Middle East." These are President George Bush's quotes after he read the Pentagon and intelligence community's reports that stated, "The best-case scenario is continuing political instability and insurgent attacks against American soldiers." The worst case is "Iraq will devolve into civil war."
His so-called clean air act actually allows an increase in the hazardous materials that are spewed into the atmosphere by corporate polluters.
Bush's Save the Forests Initiative gives license to corporate logging, mining, road building and oil and gas drilling interests in our last-protected wilderness and natural habitats.
George Bush is practicing Mary Poppins politics. You know, "A spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down."
