Bush | Was Bush the Elder on Board

In a new book written by Peter and Rochelle Schweizer, H.W. is alleged to have had concerns over whether the current Bush adminstration had an exit strategy for the Iraq War even before it began. Author Peter Schweizer is a fellow at the Hoover Institute, a conservative think tank. Will this claim undermine W’s support on Iraq policy among Republicans? Probably not, but if it gets enough press it might certainly sway some independents. The charge has of course has been denied by Bush aides.

Its rather strange that all the tell tale books having been published recently are written by so called Republicans.
Another lie spread to the American people who fall for such uncanny falsehoods. Thats the world of politics.

how dare those liberal fucks say that Bush didn’t have an exit strategy!

oh… conservative think tank? umm, nevermind…

Perhaps the “lack of an exit plan” is due to the fact that we are engaged in a 20+ year effort in Iraq and elsewhere.

Necessary, important and worth the investment.

And what is the exit strategy for Kosovo again……?

RKB...agreed.

….Meanwhile…..

China is growing at 8% GDP with an isolationist policy. They are ordering two more aircraft carriers which will change their policy towards Taiwan.

The prime minister of India is a member of a Fascist party, “Saphron Coats”. If you believe Fascism is a product of economic development this may interest you.

The European Union is enlarging and gaining economic and political power. Seen the exchange rate of the Euro lately.

Russia is presently debating whether to reside in Asia or Europe. With India and China developing they will probably choose Asia. On top of that, no one really knows what the heck Putin is up to over there.

We need to bring in other countries to fight this War on Terror. We need to defer the cost. Whether we like to admit it or not this is weakening us.
