You Can't Blame Bush

People like Joe Biden are somehow shocked that President Bush continues to beat the war drum at Iran, despite the recent National Intelligence Estimate that the Iranians have no active nuclear weapons program, and haven't since 2003.

Biden and his treacherous ilk just don't understand the concept of leadership; that leaders have to think differently, the very thing that makes them leaders. Any fool knows this, Joe Biden, and where have you been?

Though President Bush is often criticized as a lightweight, lacking depth, or even a simpleton, the Bush administration's Middle-East policy remains a work of genius, aimed at a single all-important goal: maintain a long-term status quo of instability in the region in order to artificially inflate oil prices.

The Sunni Saudi's are big Bush supporters, therefore Sh'i'ite Iran becomes the target of demonization, a requirement to keep up the scare factor with the great side benefit of pumping up the defense budget. Moreover, with Iran under a boycott and the Iraqi insurrection crippling their oil production, guess who stands to makes the most profit off that inflated crude? The Saudi Royal Family, long time Bush allies and business partners.

So it looks to me like everyone's happy: the oil companies, the OPEC nations, Halliburton, Lockheed, Bechtel-Parsons and the Pentagon. These are the things that fuel our economy, or at least the top of it, and you have to start somewhere.

If George Bush does step over some ill-defined, out-dated sense of Presidential powers, he certainly does so with the best interests of the country in mind.

That's called leadership, Joe Biden.

The genius of the neo-con simplified Roadmap of the Middle-East is that it maintains a dangerous status quo of instability in order to pump up prices for the oil business.
