How else to allow the outgoing President to secure himself some kind of legacy and do his best to boobytrap the institutions of power if not with a little forewarning of the leanings of those that will succeed him?

Best fasttrack your bills and line your pockets while you can Mr Bush and hope that no one notices.

Endless fun and games!

real politics.

“When (Abdul Sattar) Edhi (of the Edhi Foundation) met George W Bush during his last state visit to Pakistan he told him: ‘Be human and allow humanity to be possible.’ To which W responded: ‘We can be human when we need to’…”

Priceless.

In Iraq, a crime is currently being committed – another in a series of iniquities brought by the winds of change that came in the wake of the [U.S.] occupation, which sought to impregnate Iraq with the seed of democracy. [But] the [resulting] fetus emerged deformed and weird. The worst outcome of this situation is, possibly, the carnage against ethnic communities and minorities that has swept through Iraq. Neither Sunnis, nor Shi`ites, nor Christians, nor Kurds, nor Turkmen, nor [members of] other [groups] have managed to escape it.

Statistics show that in 2005 the number of Christians in Iraq was as high as 800,000. By early 2008, it had dropped by half, [indicating] that 50 percent of Iraqi Christians had been expelled from their homes and lands.

Today, this problem is also rampant in Egypt, Lebanon, Algeria, and Palestine – and while the situation may be slightly different in Palestine, the trend is the same.

This just goes to show that, although leaders authorise and oversee actions aimed for a particular set of goals, they often have a lot of undesirable consequences.

God only knows how long Iraq will remain “democratic” and relatively “peaceful”.

And still the left complains there’s no difference between Bush and Obama!

Bush is very learned in the Seagull School of Management:

You hover over something, crap all over it and fly off leaving the mess for someone else to clean up.
