War On Reality Part 14 ; Bush keeps Iraq In Fiction Section Of Library

An interesting look at a self-made billionaire, Donald Trump and his view on Bush and his administration.




After our last post comparing US atitude to Iran, one moment supportive of diplomacy, then on the other threatening them with an overwhelming use of force, President Bush has shown us once again how his reality is different to that which the rest of the World inhabits.

Despite the midterms in November, the President still thinks that the American people actually want a differing direction of forces in Iraq.

The reckons that people want to know ''when are we going to win?''

Tell The Truthiness ; The assumption of Mission Accomplished in 2003 was rather like thinking the ball was across the line in a snowstorm, whooping and cheering until it's shown to still be some way short of the goal. Allied forces have lost in Iraq and now need to leave otherwise Vietnam will be known in years to come as a mere rehearsal for the Bush Doctorine in the Middle East in the early 21st century.

War On Reality Part 13 ; Iran, Friend & Foe, Take Your Pick

You could be forgiven for assuming from today's high-level, once in a generation, while stocks last Dick Cheney on the deck of the USS Stennis meeting between Iran and the US, that relations have thawed somewhat.

If you take the positive news from the first meeting of it's type in thirty years, then it could be said US/Iranian attitudes were closer than they'd been for several decades. Mr Ryan Crocker, the US envoy, said the talks had proceeded "positively" and there had been broad agreement for a "secure, stable, democratic, federal Iraq in control of its own security, at peace with its neighbours".

Fantastic.

On the other hand...

But, if you look at Dick Cheney on the deck of the USS Stennis and the saber-rattling that went with his speech with the huge military hardwear being bulit up in the Gulf, then you could think you were a scud-missile short of a full scale air and land attack.

Tell The Truthiness ; What would the US make of the Iranians if they began to do the same two-faced type of diplomacy? Probably condemn President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and move those warships further up the coast. Cheney, make sure you know which hymn sheet you're singing from.

War On Reality Part 2 ; The Laura Truman Show

In an interview on Larry King Live on CNN, that well known Iraq expert, Laura Bush said she blamed the media for showing that '' one bombing a day'' on the TV screens.

Yes, because the media are misreporting the Iraq civil war situation to a vast degree First Lady.

It sounds like Mrs Bush is trying to make the war sound like an episode of Scooby Doo.

The Truthiness Blog Says ; We would have got away with it too if it hadn't been for that pesky one bombing a day!

Common Sense Spreads To Britain's Iraq Policy

The late breaking story tonight is that Tony Blair is due to announce a withdrawal of UK troops from the north of the country tomorrow.

Despite all that's been said and the requirement to stay until the job is done, the UK is breaking it's shoulder-to-shoulder stance with the United States since the so called War On Terror began.

Bush has to prepare for how cold it's going to be, stood there, defending the World from the scum of the Universe, all by himself.

The Truthiness Blog Says ; We aren't traditionally patriotic but ; bring them home Bush.

Valentine's Day Press Conference Part 2 ; The Words Are His Downfall

When questioned on the definition of 'Civil War', the President added a curious phrase, 'relative peace' to his vocabulary. He said Iraq would achieve relative peace.

Will he soon start saying that Iran is a 'relative threat' and therefore he's justified sending in a force?

There used to be somewhere else which was called by a similar phrase, it was 'credible threat' through their Weapons Of Mass Destruction, where was it, lots of oil, errm, oh yeah, Iraq!

The President better not think our minds are that forgetful with regard to 'credible threats', or 'relative peace'.

Civil War? What Civil War?

The most powerful and (we assume) most well informed person in the World, President Bush said at his Valentine's Day press conference that he wasn't sure a civil war was going on in Iraq, he even said to an ABC reporter, '' you've been there, I haven't''.

He said he lives in the White House and he's not very well informed, he just goes to and from the doors of planes, helicopters, cars and buildings, smiles and gets his photo taken a lot and he reckons the people who inform him about what happens on the ground don't 'qualify' it as 'that'.

Perhaps those on the 'ground' want to 'qualify' but want to go for the 'gold', like the Olympics.

In the same way that you 'define' the phrase ' competent president'.

The Truthiness Blog Says ; Of course he knows what he's doing, he's the 'President'.
