America is Not God -- Bush's Delusional Speech
Edited on Wed Mar-22-06 12:33 AM by CornField
by Paul Craig Roberts (Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan administration)

In Cleveland yesterday Bush gave a delusional speech that shows he is detached from reality. "We're going to help the Iraqis build a strong democracy that will be an inspiration throughout the Middle East, a democracy that'll be a partner in the global war against the terrorists."

Has no one told Bush that the Iraqis cannot even agree to form a government?

The day before Bush's delusional Cleveland speech, Iyad Allawi, the former prime minister of one of our make-believe Iraqi governments, said that in Iraq the casualty rate from the sectarian strife is so high that "if this is not civil war, then God knows what civil war is."

...

The fantasy Iraq that Bush painted was only his warm-up. He went on to tell his Cleveland audience that American could not be safe unless Iraq was a democracy. What a weak, pitiful, vulnerable place Bush's America must be. Unless a small, devastated Middle Eastern country is a democracy, America cannot be safe. Who in the Cleveland audience could possibly have believed this utter nonsense.

3. If you look closely, you can read between the lines.
I'll help the reader with my glossary:

"We're going to help the Iraqis build a strong democracy that will be an inspiration throughout the Middle East".

help = force, at gun point
build = as in pipelines
democracy = puppet government
inspiration = a model which should be copied throughout the ME

"America can not be safe unless Iraq is a democracy".

safe = safe, as in topped gas tanks
democracy = see above
- - - - -
After listening to 5 years of Bush Pig Latin, I've figured it out!! Just replace the filler words with the true meaning, and it all becomes Crystal Clear.
