PRESIDENT BUSH LEADS HIS ARMY ACROSS THE LITTLE BIGHORN
George W. Bush is suffering a twofold disaster of his own making.
First, he lied and forced the falsification of intelligence to create
a national security pretext for the pursuit of a Bush family personal
vendetta against Saddam Hussein. In pursuing this vendetta he led the
United States into a "poison pill" trap laid by the wily, more
intelligent Saddam Hussein. Second, he alienated his Machiavellian
diplomats, spies and assassins by allowing his neo-conservative staff
to go unpunished after attempting to arrange the death of a Diplomat's
wife when he pointed out the President lied in his State of the Union
Speech.
SADDAM‘S "POISON PILL" STRATEGY IS WORKING
In April 2003, I wrote a commentary column in part about Saddam
Hussein adopting the corporate "poison pill" hostile takeover defense
strategy to use against the Bush invasion of Iraq.*
Saddam's strategy is working exceedingly well. Resistance to the
American occupation is building and improving. The nature of the
resistance has caused a breakdown in discipline among United States
troops with the resulting over reactions adding to resistance forces
and resources. It has created a situation for the Bush Administration
where it can neither retreat nor go forward. The expeditionary force
Bush sent into Iraq cannot be extracted, despite the fact soldiers are
subject to daily depredations by snipers and guerrillas, because it
would be an admission of total defeat. More forces cannot be sent into
Iraq because that would be an admission of failed planning and
strategy.
The cost of attempting to hold onto Iraq has become a black hole money
pit for the United States economy which needs the resources for
domestic reconstruction. President Bush's great great grand children
will still be paying the bill for his vendetta against Saddam. United
States soldiers may still be there searching for Saddam and hidden
weapons of mass destruction in their time as well.
The Bush Administration will probably make repeated attempts to
counteract the effects of Saddam's "poison pill" strategy through a
series of restructuring and reorganizing exercises in Iraq.
Unfortunately for Bush his Iraq occupation has already consumed a
fatal dose of the "poison pill" and nothing short of divine
intervention is likely to prevent its ultimate humiliating demise.
"Allies" in Europe are not sending troops to be killed because it
would be domestic political suicide and leaders of nations
specifically insulted and humiliated by Bush's surrogate intellectual
goons are in no mood to help. Europeans are perfectly willing to watch
Bush stew in the juices of his own arrogance and stupidity. They are
also disinclined to support a Zionist puppet state blindly supporting
Israel's suicidal tendencies in the Middle East. I think most
Europeans probably understand that the current state of Israel is a
doomed enterprise which will be gone in about twenty years.** They are
perfectly satisfied to bide their time until the problems presented by
Israel go away through natural processes.
Once it is understood that events in Iraq are facades for the personal
clan feud between the Bush and Hussein houses, it is easy to see why
Bush is losing. All Saddam must do to win is stay alive in the face of
Bush's occupation of Iraq, which he is doing. Saddam does not even
have to regain control of Iraq to win the feud, although he may
somehow pull it off. Saddam has better survival skills than George W.
Bush acquired during his pampered life.
It is possible that American forces could get lucky and succeed in
locating and killing Saddam. This would be a definite loss for Saddam
at family feud, but it would not end the adverse effects of the
"poison pill" trap Bush has already fallen into. That blunder
President Bush will have to live with the rest of his life, regardless
of the amount of time Saddam has left on earth.
APPLIED MACHIAVELLIAN POLITICS 101
Any aspiring emperor needs the services and loyalty of an army,
diplomatic corps, spies and assassins. Alienate any one of them and
your aspirations are crippled. Alienate all four and the aspiring
emperor commits suicide, both political and physical.
President Bush has driven his army to physical and emotion ruin. An
ill-equipped undermanned expeditionary force was sent into Iraq
justified by what have subsequently been revealed to be lies. Soldiers
have been forced to work under conditions where they are nothing but
sitting ducks for snipers and guerrilla attacks. Bush exacerbated
their plight by inviting attacks against them with his chicken hawk
macho "Bring'em on" declaration.
Expeditionary force members and their families have been repeatedly
lied to about when they would be returning home.
Responsible commanders who correctly warned mistakes were being made
were fired. Soldiers' pay has been cut in what are still active war
zones and further pay cuts have been requested. The loyalty of reserve
forces has been destroyed by needlessly disrupting their lives through
extended call-ups for no other reason than to compensate for the
consequences of falsehoods and incompetent leadership.
Disaster warnings from professional diplomats regarding the adverse
consequences of invading Iraq were set aside for justifying
"professional opinions" from the brown stained lips of
neo-conservative sycophants. President Bush crowned his relationship
with the diplomatic corps by doing nothing after someone in his
administration attempted to engineer the murder of the CIA operative
wife of diplomat Joseph Wilson. Wilson's affront was doing his job and
reporting information that contradicted official falsehoods. Bush
further exacerbated this bad situation by allowing Administration spin
doctors to institute an ongoing political attack against Wilson and
his wife.
In a Machiavellian driven government, the Emperor who betrays his
spies and assassins must be made such a horrific negative example that
no emperor ever contemplates the petty sacrifice of one of their lives
again.
President George W. Bush has crossed a line that his spies and
assassins cannot ignore out of their own Machiavellian self-interest
and self-preservation. Bush's only hope of forgiveness is to stop the
attacks against Wilson's CIA agent wife and mount the head of the fool
who outed her clandestine status on a pike in front of the White
House.
If Bush fails to act in his own best interest (and there is no
indication he will do anything beyond paying lip service to an
investigation), then the next election may be the least of his
problems. At minimum, every vault and file drawer containing material
documenting embarrassing or criminal information about Bush will be a
hauled out and dumped in the public domain. Bush can expect an
election campaign that resembles Arnold Schwarzenegger's.
If the Bush Administration official who outed Plame's covert status
still has two remaining active brain cells, they will be seeking to
lease space in whatever secret hole Osama bin Ladin is hiding. FBI
agents will not be the only people seeking their identity. The FBI
agents will probably be the only ones wanting to make an example of
them by sending them to prison.
PRESIDENT BUSH LEADS HIS ARMY ACROSS THE LITTLE BIGHORN
President George W. Bush has publicly, by and through his
neo-conservative staff, slapped the face of his army, his diplomats,
his spies and assassins. One would think no politician on earth could
be that stupid, yet, here we are.
Despite declarations of Democratic and Republican political ideology
by Presidents, Senators and Representatives, the fundamental
philosophy of applied government in Washington, D. C. is
Machiavellian. When it comes to power, it is better to be feared than
loved. The purest adherents and advocates of Machiavellian philosophy
in Washington are found among the diplomats, spies and assassins.
Watching a "lets make an example of them no one will ever forget" war
of retribution by Machiavellian diplomats, spies and assassins against
a Bush led cult of Zionist neo-conservatives in the White House who
believe themselves on a mission-from-God should be a historical
spectacle to behold. In a war with these Machiavellians, Bush should
not be surprised to find that his Jewish Zionist support has vanished
and reappeared in the Wesley Clark Campaign. Why take the fool's side
in such a conflict when the next likely President is also in the
Zionist pocket? Jewish Zionists are not interested in seeing the
destruction of their extensive spy and assassin network established in
the United States that would flow from supporting Bush in a war with
Machiavellian spies and assassins acting in there own vital interest.
(If elected President, Wesley Clark will do nothing to shut down the
Zionist spy and assassin network no matter how many American
scientists are tossed off bridges or how much it costs us in national
interest. It is one of Wesley Clark's few flaws, but a serious one.)
The spies and assassins have delivered their obligatory warning to the
White House. It has been ignored.
Considering the variety of Bush Administration idiots that will be
consumed in this self-ignited political conflagration in Washington
perhaps his White House will be labeled by future historians as the
ship of fuels.
