(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

“There’s what they call “actionable intelligence,” to which our military has responded on a quick basis is improving.” — George orWell Bush, Washington, D.C., December 15th, 2003
The stupid stuff Dumbya says simply cannot be made up. Fortunately, in 36 days it will be January 20th, 2009 – The End Of An Error.
“George is rightly proud of the people of the Agency, and I have been proud to work with George. George has carried great authority without putting on airs, because he remembers his roots. There’s still a lot of Queens in George Tenet. (Laughter.) — George orWell Bush, The White House, December 14th, 2004
Given the misCommunicator’s mangling of the English language, it’s impossible to misunderestimate just exactly WT(C) Boy Blunder meant. What is known is in 37 days it will be January 20th, 2009 – The End Of An Error.
“I think one of the joyous parts of this war, if there is such a thing as a joyous part of a war, is to see the – is to see what it means for our country and our alliance to free people.” — George aWol Bush, The White House, December 13th, 2001
What a maroon.
Fortunately, in 38 days it will be The End Of An Error, and competent people will take over.

Williams: A lot of people have seen in this series of speeches you’re giving on Iraq, a movement in your position. They call it an acknowledgement that perhaps the mission has not gone as it was originally planned — three points: That the U.S. would be welcomed as liberators, that General Shinsecki, when he said this would take hundreds of thousands of troops in his farewell speech, might have been right. And third, that it wasn’t a self-sustaining war in terms of the oil revenue. Do you concede those three points might not have gone as planned?
Bush The Lesser: Review them with me again.
Williams: Number one — that we’d be welcomed as liberators?
Bush The Lesser: I think we are welcomed. But it was not a peaceful welcome. — George orWell Bush, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, December 12th, 2005
In 39 days, it will be January 20th, 2009 – The End Of An Error.

“In other words, I don’t think people ought to be compelled to make the decision which they think is best for their family.” — George orWell Bush, on smallpox vaccinations, Washington, D.C., December 11th, 2002

“You know, I’m the president during this period of time, but I think when the history of this period is written, people will realize a lot of the decisions that were made on Wall Street took place over a decade or so, before I arrived in president.” – George orWell Bush, ABC News interview, December 1st, 2008
Unreal. The same day Obama names Hillary as his Secretary Of State, Boy Blunder decides it’s time to resurrect the ol’ “Blame Clinton” strategery.
What history will document is January 20th, 2009 was The End Of An Error.

“Secondly, you need to pray for the good Lord to protect America, provide a shield over our country, to prevent us from harm.” — George orWell Bush, Orlando, Florida, December 4th, 2001
Well, all that praying certainly didn’t prevent Boy Blunder And The Plunderers from inflicting plenty of harm. More harm than anyone could imagine. So much harm that I’ve had to re-think the 37th President – you see, I never thought I’d see the day I’d miss Richard Nixon. I simply didn’t think that was possible.
Fortunately, in 47 days it will be January 20th, 2009 – The End Of An Error.

“And we’ll stay there until we rout them out. See, they think they can kind of hide in the countryside there in Afghanistan, and they may be able to hide for a day or two. They may be able to hide for a year. But it doesn’t matter how long. See, that’s what you just have to know.” — George orWell Bush, New Orleans, Louisiana, December 3rd, 2002
“…hide for a year”??!? Yeah, “right.”
GOPers run on the platform “government doesn’t work.” Then they get elected and prove it. This misAdministration has broken everything it’s touched – because they are completely out of touch. Fortunately, in 48 days, they’ll be out the door and January 20th, 2009 will be The End Of An Error.

“I have heard that people’s attitudes are beginning to change, from a period of intense concerns — and I would call it near panic — to being more relaxed.” –George orWell Bush, Alexandria, Louisiana, October 20th, 2008
People are going to be a lot more relaxed in 49 days, on January 20th, 2009 – The End Of An Error.
