Dubya 4 President!......... of Iraq!
Only George W. Bush and his sycophants are stupid, hypocritical, AND delusional enough to think pushing a jobs program that consists of 20,000 fun jobs in the military for Americans (in sun-filled Iraq) and $1 Billion in job aid to Iraqis is a good idea in any sense.
I find it amazing that a President who consistently opposes Job Programs and raises student loan rates in the US, is now promoting yet another $1 Billion jobs program for Iraqis to be paid out of the US Treasury.
At the same time, what jobs program is he promoting for Americans?
Oh yeah, we'll need 20,000 more of the bravest Americans willing to serve as meat for the futile human meat grinder Bush/Cheney/Halliburton Associates is operating in Iraq. Try your local recruiting station if you need a job or want education.
Word is that during his speech this week he will ask Americans to "sacrifice" - this is the SAME guy who has given unparalleled tax cuts to the wealthy, and who signed a secret agreement with Mexican President Vincente Fox to give undocumented Mexican laborers in the US Social Security benefits in 60 days - benefits that American citizens need to wait a minimum of 10 years for!
Apparently, for Mr Bush and friends, only the Middle Class and Students should sacrifice. He's got the backs of the rich and undocumented workers covered.
Given that Islamic radicals are essentially fighting against a Western secularized money-driven approach to life, does anyone think it would be a good idea for an Iraqi who values their existence to take these kind of US military provided jobs and handouts?
Anyone happen to recall what happened to French, Jewish, Russian, and Ukrainian collaborators AFTER World War II? ..or Vietnamese and Laotians who supported the US side during the Vietnam war? ..or perhaps what happened to Romanian collaborateurs after the fall of Ceaucescu?
If you were an Iraqi would you be signing up for one of these "job opportunities?"
Handing out packets of money to Iraqis underscores EXACTLY the message Islamic fundamentalists keep repeating.
Succinctly put: it corrupts US Military Officers, supposedly bound by The Honor Code, by turning them into nothing more than soulless "bagmen," flush with far more than "walkin' around money," and other far less benign kinds of "street money" to disburse. Although, they are a page taken directly from Karl Rove's everyday playbook, such initiatives can only serve to encourage and incubate the growth of a noisome fungal rot of dishonor within our military culture. It's something we cannot afford. Hasn't this Administration already done enough to tarnish the reputations and honor of the many good men and women who serve proudly in our US Military?
I don't make this stuff up friends, although, sometimes I would prefer I did:
Such are the early details of the Bush plan for not officially losing in Iraq until after he leaves office.
..ergo, after due consideration, I believe that, since he's promoting better new Jobs and Education Programs there than in the US, George W. Bush should resign as President of the US and become President of Iraq.
Bush cares more about his personal legacy than he does about this country or Americans. Besides, this is the President who said just after election in 2000: "if this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator." He should feel right at home with the apparent sentiments of many in Iraq.
It IS that simple.
So let's hear it friends.
I think it's high time for Karl Rove and friends to learn how to chant "Four more years" in Arabic!
..and Dubya, please take Dick Cheney with you. Heck, he'd make a GREAT replacement for Baghdad Bob (Cheney's already got the: lying, Machiavellian manipulation, and complete denial of reality squared away). I'm sorry, but a potential Cheney Presidency of the United States is one of the few things far scarier to contemplate than an actual George W. Bush Presidency...
In closing, please allow me to invite you to join with former four-star General Wesley Clark, me, and many others: Can you please take just one moment out of your busy life to sign: a petition to President Bush, and/or a similar petition by MoveOn.org addressed to the US Congress, expressing our opposition to this terribly ill-advised plan?

My apologies for leaving this blog unattended for the last year or so. Returning to the life of a 21 credit per semester student took a huge block of my time. I'm back.
