Will Somebody Please Restrain This Moron?
Bush’s State of the Union Address
by Jeff Davis
For reasons which remain unclear, the possibility of an American attack against Iran has quietly dropped off the front pages. Indeed, Bush is keeping very quiet and allowing the cacophony of the Presidential primaries plus the continued deranged behavior of Britney Spears to occupy the nation’s attention. Sometimes he’s so quiet we forget he’s still squatting up there in the White House like a loathsome little toad, he and big toad Cheney plotting their filthy little neocon plots against humanity.
But like a rattlesnake, Bush still sends out occasional warnings that he is venomous and looking to strike. Breitbart reports: “US President George W. Bush warned Iran Monday that the United States will ‘confront those who threaten our troops’ and defend its allies and interests in the Gulf.”
There is, of course, no evidence of any kind that Iran is “threatening our troops,” any more than there was any evidence of Saddam Hussein’s non-existent weapons of mass destruction, but facts have never gotten in the way of Bush’s bloodthirsty military fantasies before.
The Breitbart article continues “Bush, in excerpts of his State of the Union speech provided by the White House, also urged Tehran to suspend its uranium enrichment program, embrace political reforms, and ‘cease your support for terror abroad.’”
Both of these are deliberate dishonest distortions. Tehran supports Hamas in southern Lebanon, which recently fought off an Israeli invasion. Curiously, our government considers Hamas to be a “terrorist” organization, while the Israeli government which clearly launched a war of aggression and attacks on civilian homes, has not yet been labeled “terrorist.”
Iran has natural supplies of uranium within its borders. Uranium needs to be enriched to be used as fuel for a nuclear power plant. Bush and the neocons have endlessly blurred the line between the low-level enriching of uranium for electrical power generation and the super-enriching of uranium for an atomic bomb program. They have also failed to mention that it takes billions of dollars and years of research to develop an atomic bomb. There are dozens of nations around the world right now with nuclear reactors, which have not gone on to develop nuclear weapons. Paranoid little Israel has endlessly insisted that Iran wants to make a nuke despite a lack of any proof, and our foreign policy has been dominated by the demands of this aggressive, neurotic bandit state.
Precisely what gives this ridiculous little drunk with a room-temperature IQ the right to tell any other nation or government how to run their business has never been explained any time in the past seven years.
This State of the Union address is the last item on Bush’s “to do” list as President. From now until November he’s just running out the clock, but the amount of damage he can do to the country and to all humanity between now and then is appalling. We need to always remember that he’s still sitting there in that Oval Office, drunk and feeling sorry for himself and indulging in the fantasies and delusions of power. Worst of all, he still has his finger on that button.
The more time rolls on, the less likely it is that Congress will bother with impeachment. This leaves Bush an opportunity to go berserk and start dropping nukes on the Persians. Plus he might just devastate Iran so he can leave the Oval Office at the end of his term giggling while dumping a full-blown war in Hillary’s lap. That’s the kind of schoolboy humor that would appeal to Bush. We need to keep a close eye on him and not let ourselves be too distracted by the dog and pony show of the primaries. We really should be impeaching Bush and Cheney just to put them on the defensive and to make any last minute “lame duck war” out of the question.
