Glaring Contradictions

George Bush fiddles the notion that there is ongoing security progress in Iraq. However all signs indicate that this means extreme measures are being used to overwhelm the Iraqi population while the civil war continues unabated and as nothing short of chaos.

Bush upbeat on Iraq security plan

Part of the plan includes building a three mile "security wall" around a Sunni enclave in a predominantly Shiite section of Baghdad. I wonder if it is the same construction firm that the Israelis used to section off Palestine. Regardless, the concept of building a wall to keep people apart is crass and dehumanizing. It does run consistent with the profile of the authoritarian personality endemic to George Bush. On one level it is a forced sadistic effort similar to torture, no one but the Great Decider has a choice in the matter. Perhaps this is why Bush is so upbeat, he is seeing the physical expression that an authoritarian personality can only dream about.

As Bush goes about the job of promoting the positive side of Iraq along with the American occupation and its escalation, the Iraqis continue to kill each other with intensifying hatred.

April 19, 2007 Deadliest Day in Baghdad Since Surge Began

Take the killings at Virginia Tech which any sane person feels with intense grief and disbelief, then multiply it by ten and see it occur every day, now we are approaching the Iraqis situation. This is taking a devastating toll on the Iraqi psyche.

As we have all heard for years the Amercians will stand down as the Iraqis stand up. Well it appears that this great notion is another in the unlimited list of Bush failures and/or deceptions to the American public. What exactly has George Bush done that has not failed? What has he said that was not a lie?

Training Iraqi troops no longer driving force in U.S. policy

The State of Vermont has the right idea. Impeach Bush.
