Bush the Jihadist: How the world was plunged into an apocalyptic war

[RamboLiberal]

For George W Bush's proclaimed "global war on terror", this has been a week to remember - but also a week that should make us challenge the basic assumptions behind this so-called "war".

-----

Remember, Bush and his vicepresident Dick Cheney are fundamentalist Christians, while Bush's own political base lies in his fellow fundamentalists of the American 'Bible belt'. And tragically for Britain, Tony Blair passionately shared Bush's belief that world policy must be inspired by religious faith.

Note: Very long - well worth reading - the following is the conclusion

-----

Very similar advice was given to the young United States in 1821 by John Quincy Adams: "We are friends of liberty everywhere, but we go not abroad in search of monsters to destroy."

If only George W. Bush would abandon his paranoid search for ideological monsters, we could all sleep more peacefully in our beds.

The true answer to Islamist jihad does not lie in Bush's ideological counter-jihad, but in cool political heads and painstaking work by police forces and intelligence services across the world.

1. And just whom do you think comprise that 30% in the Polls

that keeps Bush and GOP hanging in there with the GOP
on the Hill refusing to pull away.

2. The Dialetic

Both are necessary for the other to exist and serve the higher purpose in the destruction
of a culture

B+C are no more christian than the puppet show to fool the little man thru religion
pitting right and wrong with this and that

The left and right are wings of the same bird.
They are used to divide us and keep us in the dark.
There is only a war of terror.

3. I don't think Cheney is a fundamentalist christian

I believe he the supreme cynic - using the stupid fundies as a means to get elected so that he can start wars that will enrich him personally. bush may be sufficiently naive and gullible to buy into the apocalyptic bullshit, and this is what cheney uses to play him like a cheap fiddle.

There is no "global war on terror", there is only this crappy war in Iraq which is making a lot of money for certain people, provide material for mental masturbation for neoocons, and giving the boy king a way to feel manly. Somethin for everybody, huh? Well, except for the American people, yes.

4. No matther how much I disagree with GWB, (IM0) he does

believe in what he is doing. His faith is important to
him. This in reality makes it more scary. It is his
faith which gives him the stamina to move right on over
the cliff--no matter how low the polls go or how many
articles criticising his efforts are written.

I agree many around him (Rove) are cynics and misuse people.
