Liar, Liar, Pants suffocated by Sarin Gas.....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
George Bush was the one who exploded the gas canisters and killed the children.  We all know that.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~







 
 
 
 
 
Barak Hussein Obama,
 
     Please spare us.   Please don't send out your campaign staff on a national security issue.  Are you devoid of even a speck of morality or even ethics or class?   Do you always have to deflect and lie?  Why do your shallow intellectual processes always lead you back to the point of supporting the Muslim Brotherhood?
     Oh!  And by the way, your press conference gave you a chance to surpass (Sir Edmund)Hillary in the use of the subjective case "I" and the objective case "me" which, of course, sets a new all-time record in any language on the narcissometer.  You also said "uh'' 594 times, and the more emphatic "uh, uh" 226 times.   You should do that more.  It makes you look so much younger, and sound so much more like your voter base.
     Do you wear your golf cleats while you read the teleprompter.  Does your mouth go dry when the teleprompter starts going too fast?
 
Please go away.  Sooner rather than later.

Beware the White, Liberal / Progressive / Social Engineer Elitists : They want to eat your children.

      The continued use of Trayvon Martin as a sanctified icon of the secular religion of the left is self-defeating, insulting to those capable of critical thought, and a useless investment of human energy.  We would point out that Trayvon was not minded by his parents.   Even as they extolled him as an exemplary, nearly perfect personality (My boy pulled his Daddy out of the fire.  He saved my life), even the Obsolete Press could not stick enough fingers in the dike to cover up the reality of the boy's criminal behaviour.
     Not only was he not the nicest boy in the church choir, he was more like the three boys who nearly beat the boy to death on the school bus some weeks back;  probably worse.  Trayvon had a history of beating up nerds and physically abusing girls and selling drugs and marijuana on campus and something considerably larger than petty theft.
 
     He was wandering around with the fixings for a popular-with-druggies meth-load, late at night, while waiting out a ten-day expulsion from school....(the last measure before final complete expulsion and/or referral to juvenile criminal process).   The meth load, by the way, is Arizona Watermelon Cocktail drink, Sudafed, and Skittles candies.   Mixed together and shaken (not stirred) vigorously the devil's brew produces a rush that produces various effects, all bad.   Among those effects is a drunk-like stupor, waves of aggression, feelings of paranoia, and hallucinations usually of past images in the mind but distorted.  Good stuff.   Much better than Thunderbird or CML.
 
     We return to the point, made several weeks back, that Trayvon while on expulsion from school, had no responsible adult who was willing to supervise him.   His mother had no time for him. She was an important and overpaid, public union, city-county employee working in the water and utility department.   She was  used to being overpaid and underworked and being able to complain about it, and she did not have time to take some troublesome whelp under her wing and whip him in to shape.
     The father, even less so.   He says that Trayvon and his cousin went out, they said that they would probably go to the movies, and when they did not come back he figured that "....they would probably come back later."   (?)
     Is this how normal parents treat a child who has one foot hanging over the slammer?  His next felony was going to mean hard time in the big house to-night.  The next felony was gong to be him being tried in adult court.  Then he really would "come back later",
 
     And now we are treated to this new "awakening" of the campaign.  Yes, please tell me to let it rest.   I shall.  But this blog entry is not really about Trayvon Martin, or Tracy Martin, or Sybrina Fulton.   It is about mainly white liberal/progressive/social engineers.
 
 
 
Yes, I know.  She forgot the apostrophe in sun's.

 
 
The lamentable answer to this poor, unknowingly deranged woman is the following:
 
     While the nominally black race constitutes about 11% of the population of the United States of America, the odds are that 1 of your 13 suns will not be killed.   There is, however, a heightened chance, as opposed to other racial and ethnic groupings.
 
      One of the thirteen sons has over 6,000 % ( 60X) higher probability of being murdered or killed inadvertently per 100,000 Black people as does an American of principally Japanese ancestry.   He has 5,000% (50X) greater chance than if he were to be a Caucasian of any ethnic background, including Latins who count themselves within the white race.   And, isolating the Latin group of any description, he has a 4,300% (43X) higher chance of being killed.
 
     The odds of a black person who is killed by violence having his assailant drawn from the Negro cohort of the population is 96 to 4 in favour.    Interestingly, the odds of a Caucasian person of any ethnicity being murdered or unjustifiably killed by a Black person has steadily risen from the single digits in the 1950s to now better than even....even being 50 - 50.
 
     So we should all run out  and hate black people or Trayvon or his family?   No.   We should all run out and scruff up every haughty liberal who puts our money where his mouth is...who feeds the children....who takes care of the multigenerational single babymother with someone else's money, and then pats himself on the back.   All haughty progressives / liberals / social engineers have all this blood on their hands and they should be deported to Somalia, where they could do some good....or not.
 
     So, lady holding the sign. Go home, sue your school district, sue the NAACP, sue the Democrat National Socialist Party who promised to "take care" of you.  I seem to think you are the same woman who was on the television news not long ago, asking the camera "Whose gonna feed all these children?"  I seem to recall that you prohibited your brothers from taking your children by taking legal measures against them when they were trying to show that you were non compos mentis. You were afraid of losing your  public assistance benefits, which are considerable.
 
    It all weaves together.   Willing serfs, arrogant lords, crime, sloth, indolence.  All part of the "landslide" vote for Obama....Hillary to Chappaqua, Obama to Martha's Vineyard, Kerry to a boat slip in Rhode Island.

What is the point? What difference, at this point, could it possibly make....?

     Remember folks, the alternative is to dedicate the last 10 years of life to re-establishing the 2nd Republic of Texas  (or parliamentary monarchy, really don't care at this juncture).
 
      If the best the Grand Old Party can do is to have Boehner and Cantor trundle up to the microphone and mumble about giving the President the authority to whatever, especially if it has defined chrystallic methodicalery of the laubrique influence.  And we are sure everyone will agree that trebbuscity is the most critical horbatic thurbsplyut of this issue.
 
      So, now we have to hold our breathe and see exactly how Boehner and Cantor are going to be really tough as they tweak the Obama Socialised Medicine Offensive to keep the good parts and fix the bad parts so that babymothers can have my son and daughter not only pay for their useless old parents' free medical attention, but also all the babymothers and babyfathers and slugs who have degrees in left-handed basket weaving but will not take a manager's trainee job at Lowe's because it only pays 29,000 USD/yr.   Besides they have "free" insurance on mommy and daddy's "free" medical policy.
 
    With Republican opposition this stiff, we'll be able to hold the overall deficit to well below 200,000,000,000,000 USD (two hundred trillion) by 2020.  Oh!!! Forgot about the Bin Laden's Memorial Parque at Arlington.  That's another 10 trillion.   The building that houses the Al Sharpton Concession Stand there in front of the Arlington Mansion (now re-named Al and Jesse's Hot Wings and Babes Entertainment Centre) will also have valet parking, and we will have people who opposed the National Free Ride Act providing rickshaw to and from the Bin Laden Memorial.  The rickshaws will be powered by crackers and Latin and Black conservatives who have been determined to be Traitors to the Race....the worst crime in the world.   NO TIPPING!!!!!  Let the dogs suffer and wait for their scraps.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 
      Boehner, we are unaware what Valerie Jarrett has on you from your FBI raw data file.  Whatever it is, try to override your own sense of embarrassment and think of the Republic. I implore you....think of the Republic. 
 
      You are walking into a door.  Read some of the more responsible and less irresponsible releases coming out of the Mid-East.  Listen, think, do the right thing.  Unless you are one of the Manchurian Candidate's pre-appointed handlers....what is your point of existence if you cannot stand up to a poseur who has been caught like a deer in the headlights in this Syrian matter?  He was caught siding with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, and you are allowing this fraud to crawl out from underneath  the rubble of the collapsed building that he himself built!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
     Romney whimped out and said he even agreed with getting rid of Mubarek...WOW!!!! Great foreign policy statement.  Oh! And Romney was going to keep the good parts of the Obama Socialised Medicine Initiative.  Do I have to lug a vomitoreum around with me for all my remaining days!!!!????
 
     Will all the people on the floor of the House of Representatives of the Congress of the increasingly useless central government in Washington, D.C. who have any testosterone left...please stand up and fight?
 
       There is nothing in the Syrian issue worth defending.  Send 10,000,000 greenback dollars to the Docteurs Sans Frontieres and forget about it.
 
Happy trails.

Diet, Smy-ette....please read this for your own good

     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(this advisory is sent by our reconnaissance agent who hides out in Extreme Central Texas on the Big Sandy Creek.   He, and I, are concerned about your health, but we shall pass no laws against your right to eat and smoke and sky-dive)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
     We are hopeful that you all will at least consider this.  El Gringo Viejo is not a doctor of any kind.   He does not play, nor has he ever played, a doctor on television nor the radio.  He does have certain life experiences and he knows a lot of people who have life experiences.   He also has had people at his little place in the Mexican outback who have had experiences, that quite frankly have surprised them, but that did not surprise El Gringo Viejo in the least.
 
     The OROG is invited to review our webpage for the Quinta Tesoro de la Sierra Madre.   Down and to the right there is a section that deals with the nature of the food we serve.   We urge that each OROG review the menu and the drinks.   No low-cal, no lite, no 2%, etc.  Strictly butter, olive oil, heavy beer, straight Coca Cola, red meat, grilled chicken and other meats.   Each can even see the short menu that suggests the kind of meals one might expect.  There are changes, depending upon the availabilities that might arise at our favourite suppliers, but the plot and theme of the diet remains the same.   No de-caffeinated anything.   Nothing with the word "healthy'' on the label.
 
     Why?   One reason is because El Gringo Viejo is a spoiled, narcissistic jackass in many ways.  The other reason is because I know too many Old Cowboys, too many rural Mexicans of the white race and the mestizo race and the Indian race who all have remained loyal to the heavy beer, heavy Coke, greasy concoctions, corn tortilla ten-per-meal, beans - black and pinto cooked in bacon grease/lard, eggseggseggseggseggs forever and more eggs, fish of all sorts, meats of any sort (including armadillo), churned butter, cheeses of all sorts, and so forth, who are 164 years old and in trouble with their wives because they have four mistresses and who are jumping out of airplanes for fun.  (Well, almost)
 
     My own experience with diet proves one thing to me.  I eat "heavy" food.  I eat everything.  If it does not move on my plate, I eat it.  Sometimes, things that were still moving might have been ingested.  By everything it is meant, everything that is not labelled "healthy" , "country vegetables", "natural", "light", "lite", "lo-cal", "fat-free", "recommended by doctor", "recommended by nutritionists''.
 
     Sugar substitutes and diet drinks cause diabetes and weight gain.  "Healthy" foods cause heart disease and cancers.   Please read this linkage.  It is written by a contrarian doctor.  The lead-in is a very short paragraph quoting the conventional wisdom, placed at the head of the article as a form of sarcasm.  I am not a big fan of the Doctor's sarcastic and condemnatory attitude towards business and the medical community's motivation.  But, he is in the broad-brush sense, very "right-on".
 
 
 
    Please avail yourself of the above link.  It is a fairly long read.  The average OROG will need about seven minutes.  The processes of logic and evidence will change almost everyone to at least the point of considering that their friends, children, relatives, and even their selves are causing a lot of dietary problems that did not exist two generations ago.
     Because of the vaccines and better public health....cures and elimination of diphtheria, polio, tuberculosis, smallpox, malaria, dengue fever, whooping cough and the panoply of childhood diseases have been accomplish. Bin Laden is dead and we are still alive.  Oops that line has already been used.

     So, perhaps we are "living into the maladies of old-age".   But most of our early on-set maladies are caused by our "healthy diets", artificial exercise, and sedentary natures.   A regular, 1954 Eisenhower diet and a thirty-minute walk every day, a happy attitude and understanding of the Beatitudes and Golden Rule, and a serviceable, loaded firearm in an accessible place(out of the reach of children, of course) is probably the best approach to enjoying the bounty of the Lord.
 
    As is written on our webpage, we have had clients who have remarked about how much weight they lost, eating "heavy" old-fashioned grub and rich semi-gourmet French and Mexican grub.   The secret was and is, of course that the person eating is reaching a "full" point more quickly and has better fuel that is ready to expend.  Then, even the least walk....ambling better said...of a mile or so results in the correct tuning of the engine....especially the carburettor  (remember, English English).
 
    Finally, many of our clients who suffer from this or that allergy or allergies notice that in our dusty, pollen-infested, animals everywhere, extreme tropical neo-wilderness, with intense agricultural overtones all very nearby....have no allergy problems.....without taking their medicines.   We have concluded that the many and multiple allergens "kick-start" the immune system into working instead of just hanging around and letting the host take some kind of poison to abate the symptoms. 
 
We end our pontificating with these secret words:  garlic, onions, lemons/limes, heavy beer and soda pops, brown sugar / honey, good appropriate wines at meals or evening's rest, one aspirin /day, two 1,250 fish-oils /week,  complex diet with all vegetables and meats included, four meals per day with three tiny ones and one big one, canned sardines, tuna, and salmon in any presentation, (we eat whole fresh salmon and other fish as well, of course), corn tortillas, and chilis...especially serrano, or jalapen~o if just getting started.   Two small bags of junque food of your choice are permitted per week.
 
Please read the article. And refresh your memory by visiting the webpage for the Quinta Tesoro de la Sierra Madre.   The Linkage is over to your right, right now.

A Special Report by an embed with Syrian Rebels (slight amendment to aid and intervention admonition 3 August 2013)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 
 
Moving ahead with any castigation of the Assad Regime is fraught with moral and military problems.   It is necessary to use pronounced vigour to advise all Representatives and Senators of the Congress of the Central Government to forego all forms of military intervention, perhaps permanently.  El Gringo Viejo, after reviewing many, many different reports from many different points of view, recommends only  the most basic humanitarian aid to the casualties and innocent suffering in Syria.   It would be best to use elements on the ground such as the Red Crescent, and groups such as Docteurs Sans Frontieres, or agencies with a proven record of non-corrupt eleemosynary service.

    Clarification: Dale Gavlak assisted in the research and writing process of this article, but was not on the ground in Syria. Reporter Yahya Ababneh, with whom the report was written in collaboration, was the correspondent on the ground in Ghouta who spoke directly with the rebels, their family members, victims of the chemical weapons attacks and local residents. 
    Gavlak is a MintPress News Middle East correspondent who has been freelancing for the AP as a Amman, Jordan correspondent for nearly a decade. This report is not an Associated Press article; rather it is exclusive to MintPress News. 
    Ghouta, Syria — As the machinery for a U.S.-led military intervention in Syria gathers pace following last week’s chemical weapons attack, the U.S. and its allies may be targeting the wrong culprit.
    Interviews with people in Damascus and Ghouta, a suburb of the Syrian capital, where the humanitarian agency Doctors Without Borders said at least 355 people had died last week from what it believed to be a neurotoxic agent, appear to indicate as much.
    The U.S., Britain, and France as well as the Arab League have accused the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for carrying out the chemical weapons attack, which mainly targeted civilians. U.S. warships are stationed in the Mediterranean Sea to launch military strikes against Syria in punishment for carrying out a massive chemical weapons attack. The U.S. and others are not interested in examining any contrary evidence, with U.S Secretary of State John Kerry saying Monday that Assad’s guilt was “a judgment … already clear to the world.”
    However, from numerous interviews with doctors, Ghouta residents, rebel fighters and their families, a different picture emerges. Many believe that certain rebels received chemical weapons via the Saudi intelligence chief, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, and were responsible for carrying out the dealing gas attack.
    “My son came to me two weeks ago asking what I thought the weapons were that he had been asked to carry,” said Abu Abdel-Moneim, the father of a rebel fighting to unseat Assad, who lives in Ghouta.
    Abdel-Moneim said his son and 12 other rebels were killed inside of a tunnel used to store weapons provided by a Saudi militant, known as Abu Ayesha, who was leading a fighting battalion. The father described the weapons as having a “tube-like structure” while others were like a “huge gas bottle.”
    Ghouta townspeople said the rebels were using mosques and private houses to sleep while storing their weapons in tunnels.
    Abdel-Moneim said his son and the others died during the chemical weapons attack. That same day, the militant group Jabhat al-Nusra, which is linked to al-Qaida, announced that it would similarly attack civilians in the Assad regime’s heartland of Latakia on Syria’s western coast, in purported retaliation.
    “They didn’t tell us what these arms were or how to use them,” complained a female fighter named ‘K.’ “We didn’t know they were chemical weapons. We never imagined they were chemical weapons.”
    “When Saudi Prince Bandar gives such weapons to people, he must give them to those who know how to handle and use them,” she warned. She, like other Syrians, do not want to use their full names for fear of retribution.
    A well-known rebel leader in Ghouta named ‘J’ agreed. “Jabhat al-Nusra militants do not cooperate with other rebels, except with fighting on the ground. They do not share secret information. They merely used some ordinary rebels to carry and operate this material,” he said.
    “We were very curious about these arms. And unfortunately, some of the fighters handled the weapons improperly and set off the explosions,” ‘J’ said.
    Doctors who treated the chemical weapons attack victims cautioned interviewers to be careful about asking questions regarding who, exactly, was responsible for the deadly assault.
    The humanitarian group Doctors Without Borders added that health workers aiding 3,600 patients also reported experiencing similar symptoms, including frothing at the mouth, respiratory distress, convulsions and blurry vision. The group has not been able to independently verify the information.
    More than a dozen rebels interviewed reported that their salaries came from the Saudi government.
     

    Saudi involvement

    In a recent article for Business Insider, reporter Geoffrey Ingersoll highlighted Saudi Prince Bandar’s role in the two-and-a-half year Syrian civil war. Many observers believe Bandar, with his close ties to Washington, has been at the very heart of the push for war by the U.S. against Assad.
    Ingersoll referred to an article in the U.K.’s Daily Telegraph about secret Russian-Saudi talks alleging that Bandar offered Russian President Vladimir Putin cheap oil in exchange for dumping Assad.
    “Prince Bandar pledged to safeguard Russia’s naval base in Syria if the Assad regime is toppled, but he also hinted at Chechen terrorist attacks on Russia’s Winter Olympics in Sochi if there is no accord,” Ingersoll wrote.
    “I can give you a guarantee to protect the Winter Olympics next year. The Chechen groups that threaten the security of the games are controlled by us,” Bandar allegedly told the Russians.
    “Along with Saudi officials, the U.S. allegedly gave the Saudi intelligence chief the thumbs up to conduct these talks with Russia, which comes as no surprise,” Ingersoll wrote.
    “Bandar is American-educated, both military and collegiate, served as a highly influential Saudi Ambassador to the U.S., and the CIA totally loves this guy,” he added.
    According to U.K.’s Independent newspaper, it was Prince Bandar’s intelligence agency that first brought allegations of the use of sarin gas by the regime to the attention of Western allies in February.
    The Wall Street Journal recently reported that the CIA realized Saudi Arabia was “serious” about toppling Assad when the Saudi king named Prince Bandar to lead the effort.
    “They believed that Prince Bandar, a veteran of the diplomatic intrigues of Washington and the Arab world, could deliver what the CIA couldn’t: planeloads of money and arms, and, as one U.S. diplomat put it, wasta, Arabic for under-the-table clout,” it said.
    Bandar has been advancing Saudi Arabia’s top foreign policy goal, WSJ reported, of defeating Assad and his Iranian and Hezbollah allies.
    To that aim, Bandar worked Washington to back a program to arm and train rebels out of a planned military base in Jordan.
    The newspaper reports that he met with the “uneasy Jordanians about such a base”:
    His meetings in Amman with Jordan’s King Abdullah sometimes ran to eight hours in a single sitting. “The king would joke: ‘Oh, Bandar’s coming again? Let’s clear two days for the meeting,’ ” said a person familiar with the meetings.
    Jordan’s financial dependence on Saudi Arabia may have given the Saudis strong leverage. An operations center in Jordan started going online in the summer of 2012, including an airstrip and warehouses for arms. Saudi-procured AK-47s and ammunition arrived, WSJ reported, citing Arab officials.
    Although Saudi Arabia has officially maintained that it supported more moderate rebels, the newspaper reported that “funds and arms were being funneled to radicals on the side, simply to counter the influence of rival Islamists backed by Qatar.”
    But rebels interviewed said Prince Bandar is referred to as “al-Habib” or ‘the lover’ by al-Qaida militants fighting in Syria.
    Peter Oborne, writing in the Daily Telegraph on Thursday, has issued a word of caution about Washington’s rush to punish the Assad regime with so-called ‘limited’ strikes not meant to overthrow the Syrian leader but diminish his capacity to use chemical weapons:
    Consider this: the only beneficiaries from the atrocity were the rebels, previously losing the war, who now have Britain and America ready to intervene on their side. While there seems to be little doubt that chemical weapons were used, there is doubt about who deployed them.
    It is important to remember that Assad has been accused of using poison gas against civilians before. But on that occasion, Carla del Ponte, a U.N. commissioner on Syria, concluded that the rebels, not Assad, were probably responsible.

    These are heavy realities, and we must contemplate that not one mainstream media source has even presented these evidences and/or possibilities.   Fox News has peripherally suggested the possibility.   Overnight radio has openned the book on the issue a little more deeply.   The alphabet press is still 135% committed to protecting Barack Hussein Obama at all costs.   We see no good coming from the near future, for America or Syria or Israel.   Our government works for the government....our military is sliding into a politically correct, effeminate shadow of its former self, and our people want free food, medical service, housing, and automatic college diplomas.  It does not portend well. for the nation that used to be the land of the Free and the home of the Brave.

         It is a fairly hopeless issue to try to make the low-information and low-intelligence voter understand the truth and the facts that surround the truth.  For instance, if a person suggests that Teddy Kennedy was a slug who, if in Texas now, had done what he did with Mary Jo Kopechne, would be facing 10 years in prison for felony manslaughter, death resulting from driving while intoxicated.   A case could also have been made that he killed the girl before hand, and then faked the "bridge confusion in the dark" story.   So many rumours swirled at the time, almost all of them  reasonable, given the nature of Kennedy's history of deportment, that we shall never know the true extent and nature of this Slug of Privilege's criminality.   None of Kennedy's explanations were remotely credible.
    Was it you, Bill or was it Hillary
    who took care of McDougall?  Can
    you look that up in your book there?

    
         The same holds true for William Jefferson Blythe Clinton, Hillary Rodham-Clinton, and Barack Hussein Obama.  In the case of the Clintons, the worst can be imagined.   Look at his picture above carefully, and remember that this is his "Jesse Jackson Moment" . Jesse Jackson was "counselling" Billy Jeff at these moments, and it was such a crass, hypocritical gesture that the "regular folks" were both laughing at Billy Jeff and seeing his hypocrisy very clearly.  Of course, Jackson had his own troubles almost precisely at the same time when a former squeeze ratted on Jesse that she was the babymother of Jesse's little girl.   She had been being paid out of Jackson's non-profit "Operation PUSH" funds as part of her support and child maintenance to the tune of about 35,000 USD per year of money other than Jesse's.  Charges? Are we kidding ourselves?
       Case studies and numerous peculiar coincidences more than strongly suggest that the Clintons are guilty of the highest crimes.  There are simply too many bodies pushing up daisies who previously had first or second degree of relativity to the Clintons.   There is simply too much disposition on the part of both of them to lie and/or gloss over any and every aspect of their activities.   That is over and above the blatant disregard for following legal prescription, such as leaving untouched the office of a man whose body was found in a public park, dead from a bullet wound, and with no GSR on either hand. 
        Such an office is obviously an extension of a crime scene, but it was evacuated by Bernie Nussbaum and Maggie Thompson the morning of the discovery of the body, and the office was repeatedly violated, even to the point of planting of extraneous evidence after the first official inspection.   All of these actions would have resulted in prison time for any of the OROGs and certainly the author of this blog.   The idea that a "suicide note" could have been found, days later, in a previously unseen briefcase on top of Foster's desk, is ludicrous.
     
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     
     
         Fast backwards to the continuous harping at George W, Bush.   El Gringo Viejo is content with the idea that Bush should have been led out of office and retired to Crawford at the very moment that it became apparent that he would allowed the Congress to authorise any amount of money for any amount of whatever, up to and including free pills for Geezers,   The idea of the central government setting up a program for an entitlement for the wealthiest sector of the citizenry (the Geezers) is ridiculous. The idea that a Republican President would throw his veto pen into the Patomac at flood, even with a fully Republican Congress, is astonishing.
     
         Add on to that the notion that he could somehow "buy" with public money the affection of Schumer and (Sir Edmund) Hillary.   We can all remember the Hag cackling en voce forte' on the Senate floor, "BUSH KNEW!  BUSH KNEW!" while rattling a front-page blaring headline from the New York Post announcing that Bush knew that the twin towers were going to be attacked.   That was a week or two after he had notified Schumer and (Sir Edmund) Hillary that they had a "blank check" for the rebuilding of New York.  Affection and gratitude by Democrat Socialists for any type of Republican or conservative is best described in the tale about the scorpion and the Lion.
     
         We move on.   Bush put his plan to deal with Iraq up to not one, but two votes, at the demand of the Democrat minority.   He did not want to be approved twice, but the Democrats wanted a do over so that later they could say, "Well, at least I voted against authorisation before I voted for it."  The best first identifier for the concept of  Democrat office-holder is "focus-group hypocrite".   To reiterate, Bush allowed  for a re-vote, after carrying the first vote heavily to begin with.
         Bush even went before the United Nations Security Council and won a unanimous vote there, authorising the use of force to make Saddam Hussein abide by thirteen different resolutions to abandon his genocide against the Swamp Arabs, the Kurds, and religious groups within Iraq.   The resolutions also dealt with the issues of WMDs up to and including any nuclear weaponry development.   It was known, and well known that he was into all such things.
         Then begins the next drumbeat for the succeeding six years.   Bush lied, and people died.   There were no weapons of mass destruction.  Once again Bush should have been taken out and led to a nice comfortable room in Crawford, because his usefulness as a teacher and a leader of a country was nil.  He thought within himself that there were certain inalienable truths:
             (1)     Of course there were weapons of mass destruction.  They had been used repeatedly by Saddam Hussein during the 1980s war with Iran, with scores of thousands of military and civilian casualties.   They were used against the Iraqi Kurds repeatedly, with estimates of the dead ranging from 12,000 to 30,000 individuals and many more permanently debilitated.

            (2)    They were used against  the Sunni in the east, in Basra and several other cities, at times almost as if it were a test...a practice...on real live human guinea pigs.  Thousands were killed over a period of five or six years.

           (3)     There is that  one particular, gut-wrenching  film that can still be fished out of the web that shows a small community  of about 500 rural people who were obviously frightened literally to death upon seeing Saddam Hussein's convoy pull into their precincts.   A month before this visit, some very stupid men had made gestures and yelled profanities and threats at Saddam.   Saddam, in his charity, had made this second trip out to the community just to show what a nice forgiving guy he was.  The people are jumping up and down, Saddam is standing in a small personnel carrier of some kind, he is smiling and giving them a paternalistic blessing and waving...it is all so pleasant.   He leaves with his convoy.   Another camera view, from further away, but of the same setting comes up on the screen, and suddenly there is a quick series of artillery explosions throughout the  community.   Several score artillery strikes hit in quick succession.  The scene continues as the peculiar smoke clears...very slowly.
         Ali Hassan al Majid, aka "Chemical Ali", the first cousin of Saddam Hussein al Tikriti, is heard to be speaking.   There is some laughter, all of which is off-screen.   Then there is a later set of moving close-ups, as the cameraman documents  scores upon scores of people who essentially died in their tracks....men.....women.....children.....all dead, because some dumboes made obscene gestures at a madman.
          These killings finally, over the years of Saddam Hussein's despotic, psychotic rule, numbered into the scores of thousands.   Precision is something left to a fool, because there is not the remotest way to determine precisely how many people were murdered by Hussein and his thugs.


              (4)   The Isralites  were just walking around one day and decided to go over and bomb a "secret" Iraqi nuclear reactor and weaponisation plant in 1981.




      

          
     So we can reasonably believe that, twenty years later, active measures had been taken to better protect and to re-activate the Iraqi nuclear program.   It is known, even by "ambassador" Joe Wilson's report and admission, that Iraqi agents were already combing through Africa, looking for somebody willing to sell yellow-cake uranium for enhancement.    Gas and chemical resources were no doubt.   They had been used, and used repeatedly.
     
              (5)      We are forced to include a form of geographic/cultural genocide, in that Saddam  Hussein and his goons also drained major parts of the marshes that had been used by the "Swamp Arabs" since the days of the Sumerians.   Legendary vegetables, dates, figs, other fruit....each morsel hand raised and delivered into markets that made wealthy people blush with their envy.  Colours and flavours that were without rival for 4,000 years at least.....drained of life.   What do people do, when their chromosomes are programmed for such a time to do something perhaps better than any other group of people...and suddenly find their "factory" destroyed?
     
     
           So, finally to make a long story longer, Bush did not lie....the Obsolete Press said that Bush lied so much, that finally it became a part of Mount Rushmore.   The unthinking parroted the phrase, and it became true.   Hitler said that it was a wondrous thing how easy it is to govern stupid people who choose to be ignorant.
         Bush was a dumboe because he did not come out and vigorously demonstrate the evidence at hand.   The issue of the transfer of much of the stocks of gasses and chemicals over to the control of Damascus is also less and less of an improbability.    Bush did not fail, but he did either wimpily or arrogantly say, inside of himself, "To hell with those idiots.  I know and have seen the existence of, the application of, and the effects of Hussein's WMD stockpiles."  I am afraid that a bit of his Prescott was showing and he was defensive and arrogant.
           He also has refrained from stating the obvious point that under his watch, the United States military and special operations people essentially won two complicated and difficult wars....and said victories have been squandered by a poseur who has demonstrated repeatedly that he is either incompetent or anti-American, or both.

         To the previous President's credit, he has consistently demonstrated the class of a person who is genuinely secure unto himself and at charity with almost all men.   El Gringo Viejo cannot believe, even though George W. Bush is just another variety of the liberal Republican....reasonable compromiser, that he could possibly have any respect for the anti-American, Linskyite in the White House at this time.   Bush has refrained from any meddling or second guessing of his successor, at least in  public, and that is the mark of a person of high degree.

        These past 96 hours have proven beyond any doubt that Benghazi was an Obama / Rodham disaster.   The delivery of Egypt to the Muslim Brotherhood in return for the head of Mubarak was another disaster.  The coming re-meltdown in Tunisia is another disaster.  The general degeneration of northern Africa and other places in the Arab and non-Arab Middle East that was caused by dreamy, pointless anti-American humming of the Beatle song, "Imagine"...just doesn't make good foreign or domestic policy in the real world.
