But remember the words of General Smedely Butler; "Everybody knows the American Legion is nothing but a bunch of strike breakers." paraphrased

Of course that was long ago. But then our local Legionaries still think that way.

7. I watched some of this speech to the Legionnaires on C-span

Der Chimperor was very confident as he dispensed his lies about Iraq being in great shape and Iran needing our intervention.

One thing I did notice--he's either on anti-smirking drugs or he's getting the smirk under control...only a couple slipped out.

Joe Conason "Business as usual" - Bush Family Ties to UAE

Good one page summary, well worth reading, just out in Salon (I sat thru the commercial) -- found it linked in a DU thread that's sinking like a stone.

Business as usual

Bush's strong support of the Dubai ports deal isn't so surprising in light of his family's many financial ties to Arab sheikdoms.
By Joe Conason

Feb. 24, 2006 | To hear George W. Bush urge calm upon the nation is a refreshing change from his administration's habitual encouragement of fear for political advantage. No more color-coded terror alerts, election-timed warnings or partisan-tinged posturing will emanate from the White House, or at least not until Dubai Ports World has safely completed its takeover of several major American shipping terminals. The president's shift in tone is as remarkable as his threat to use his first veto in five years to protect the Dubai deal in the face of bipartisan congressional opposition.

But Bush's passionate defense of the United Arab Emirates and the ports deal inevitably raises questions -- not only about the due diligence of his administration in this instance but about his and his family's long-standing ties to the Persian Gulf sheikdoms, and specifically to the UAE's rulers. His insinuation that skepticism is equivalent to bigotry cannot deflect such concerns, which first arose in the months after the 9/11 attacks.

Will get DU thread link if I can find it. . .

11. The halo bears his name: "My name is Legion"

"And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many."

It's a halo from the Other place.
