| Pravda: "The Legacy of Bush: Walking firmly towards Armageddon"

Jingoism, anyone? Gotta love those Pravda headline writers.

I’m posting these foreign press pieces here, rather than on op-ed, because I think the treatment of the candidates by foreign press is part of the larger Command Post story—triangulating stories by providing lots of news treatments from lots of different outlets.

OK. Back to the story:

Thursday. Baghdad. Three huge explosions, this time not caused by his cluster bombs but by the international terrorists. From Pakistan to Iraq to the Lebanon, fundamentalist violence erupts at a rate hitherto unseen with a venom never before felt, with a new deep-rooted seething hatred. The legacy of George Bush, whose incompetence and ignorance leaves a swathe of unrest in the most delicate area of the planet.

Wow. Turn your style guides to “intense modifiers,” please …

” These guys at ’ PRAVDA ’ never got over Ronald Reagan.” Augurwell

The real enemy is the false moolah and the royal rubbish of Saud, these guys have incorrectly targeted Israel as the root of their problem. This was done to distract the people from the lack of freedom they have in Syria, Iran, Saud Arabia etc.. The people of America will give the people of the Middle East a better chance at sharing the common wealth than will the religious bigot, the Saud royal liars, Arabian terroroist funders or the Islamocommunist.

The Woman of the Greater Middle East shall be free one day and many days sooner because of the leadership of George W. Bush ( Holding Lead in the Electoral College ).
