(I said it before, and I stand by it now. This one is a post I made on September 11th, 2008 – and the T-130 was the countdown to The End Of An Error; the misAdministration of George orWell Bush. And BTW – where the (cheney) IS “Osama Been Forgotten”??!?)
“One of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq to the war on terror.” — George orWell Bush, CBS News interview, September 6th, 2006
Looking back, I remember where I was 7 years ago, today, when I first saw the replay of the first plane hitting the tower.
And I watched the news about that attack, closely. For a long time. As in, “still.” But I didn’t hear about what Condoleeza Rice was scheduled to do, on this date 7 years ago, until April of 2004.
She was going to give a speech. Not about Osama Bin Laden; not about al Qaeda; not about Extremist Islamic Fundamentalism. No, Condoleeza Rice was going to talk about what this misAdministration felt was the most dangerous threat to America, long-range missiles, furthering the goals set out in 1997 by the neo-conservative goup, Project for the New American Century.
Fast forward to George orWell’s comment, on September 6th, 2006, above – “One of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq to the war on terror.”
Ladies and Gentlemen, this misAdministration has never been focused on the real threat to America; this misAdministration used the ol’ “bait ‘n switch” ruse to do what the Neo-Con Right Wing always wanted: topple Saddam and radically transform America’s military. From Project for the New American Century’s 76 page “Rebuilding America’s Defenses:
even if it brings revolutionary change, is
likely to be a long one, absent some
catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a
new Pearl Harbor.(page 51)
So, just who are the people that formed PNAC; the PNAC that thought that a “new Pearl Harbor” might speed up the transformation of the American Military in a way they thought beneficial? Let’s look:
Elliott Abrams, Gary Bauer, William J. Bennett, Jeb Bush,
Dick Cheney, Eliot A. Cohen, Midge Decter, Paula Dobriansky, Steve Forbes,
Aaron Friedberg, Francis Fukuyama, Frank Gaffney, Fred C. Ikle,
Donald Kagan, Zalmay Khalilzad, I. Lewis Libby, Norman Podhoretz,
Dan Quayle, Peter W. Rodman, Stephen P. Rosen, Henry S. Rowen,
Donald Rumsfeld, Vin Weber, George Weigel, Paul Wolfowitz
So, today, as we mourn those that fell as the towers fell; those that fell in the heroic struggle on United Airlines Flight 93 in Pennsylvania; those that fell on American Airlines Flight 77 that crashed into the Pentagon; those brave men and women that have fallen in Iraq, remember this:
“One of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq to the war on terror.” — George orWell Bush, September 6th, 2006
Of course it’s hard; Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11 but everything to do with furthering neo-conservative goals.
In 130 days it will be January 20th, 2009 – The End Of An Error

“The solution to Iraq — an Iraq that can govern itself, sustain itself and defend itself — is more than a military mission. Precisely the reason why I sent more troops into Baghdad.” — George orWell Bush, Washington, D.C., April 3, 2007 (The White House)
Just another “up is down, war is peace” Orwellian Bushism we’ve come to expect from Boy Blunder. What is disturbing, but predictable, are the “McCain Moments” coming out of the Bushy McSame Campaign.
While clearly January 20th, 2009 will be The End Of An Error, if Bushy McSame is elected January 21st, 2009 will be The Start Of Another.

“I think the world watches America. We’re an influential nation, and everybody watches what we say. And I think it’s very important for the American President to mean what he says. That’s why I understand that the enemy could misread what I say. That’s why I try to be as clearly I can. I don’t want them to be emboldened by any confusion or doubt.” — George orWell Bush in a Washington, D.C. Press Conference, Sep. 23, 2004
Anybody “watching” what Dumbya says isn’t confused at all; there isn’t any doubt about the job Bush The Lesser has done. About half the world now has a negative opinion of the United States, while here in the land of the free and home of the brave, about 2/3 disapprove of Boy Blunder.
Clearly, there is no confusion or doubt that January 20th, 2009 will be The End Of An Error.

“And my concern, David, is several.” — George orWell Bush, to NBC’s David Gregory, Washington, D.C., April 3, 2007
Well, in Dumbya’s defense, he’s regular. Dumbya just pops these things out, and often, there’s continuity among them. Of course, they often don’t make sense, unless you’re a member of Boy Blunder’s Plunderers. For them, what Boy Blunder says, and does, can make a lot of cents sense – and dollars, too. For the rest of us, January 20th, 2009 will be The End Of An Error.

“But I also made it clear to (Vladimir Putin) that it’s important to think beyond the old days of when we had the concept that if we blew each other up, the world would be safe.” – George orWell Bush, May 1, 2001
“Russia is no longer our enemy and therefore we shouldn’t be locked into a Cold War mentality that says we keep the peace by blowing each other up. In my attitude, that’s old, that’s tired, that’s stale.” – George orWell Bush, Des Moines, Iowa, June 8, 2001
Now, why are the above two “Bushisms – Adventures In BushSpeak” notable?
Because, speaking on the Russia-Georgia conflict, Boy Blunder just said this:
“Bullying and intimindation are not acceptable ways to conduct foreign policy in the 21st century.” – George orWell Bush, August 15th, 2008
Which, of course, brings us to this Bushism, uttered two years ago, to the day:
“The United States of America is engaged in a war against an extremist group of folks.” — George orWell Bush, McLean, Va., Aug. 15, 2006
Say, Dumbya? That “extremist group of folks”?
That group is also known as “Boy Blunder And The Plunderers”, and January 20th, 2009 will be The End Of An Error.
