Bush Camp singing their own prases

All the talk this month and for another couple of weeks is about the Bush regime, patting themselves on the back for all the good work they have done over the past 8 years.
THIS MAKES ME SICK!!!
But a lot of people tend to believe the crap they spout, which makes me ever more sick....
Here is an example from the Guardian blog today that is very common.

Iraq and Afghanistan have been given the chance of a more liberal future. (Women in schools, democrats in office, etc etc)

Well if you watch our western news, then this would be true. But of course it ignores all the reported facts. i.e. Iraqs people are waiting for the US to go, so that it can have its own rules, not the Wests'. Afganistan has reported cases of Women having acid thrown over their face, for following the Wests' suggestions of changing their culture, the taliban will be back in charge within 12 months. Thats supposed to be positive ???

Al Queda have less of a safe haven for training in Afghanistan ("they ran the country and now they barely run a cave" - as Bush rightly said (I paraphrase slightly)).

Well i never... .Considering that most analysts put the Taliban in over 70% of control of the country, how does that make that less of a safe haven. In fact, i guess they can pretty much do what they want and with the capturing of NATO convoys, probably with better equipment than before.

Libya has been brought in from the terror camp.

Like that had anything to do with the US. The leader of the country found the right time to get away from the terrorist brand, and Europe jumped at the chance for some extra business. But when Libya was on the Security Council for the UN, back to refering them as a terrorist country, because they said the suffering in Gaza was wrong and wanted to condem Israel. Well we cant have that !!

Terrorists have been killed in the horn of Africa and their networks thereby made void.

Well apart from some US airstrickes on some villages, the Islamists look to regain there country again, once Ethiopia leaves. The only peace Somalia has seen in the last decade was when Islamists were running the country. But we cant have that !!

US and western bases have been established in an arc around the caucasus.

And that has made all those countries involved fearful of war.. Great Job again !! Well thanks to Bush for bringing up the fear of nuclear war again... we really appreciate that one !!

As a consequence of the above, Iran is hemmed in by western bases or western-leaning countries.

Well not exactly.... they have some US guys pretending to liberate Iraq and Afganistan, building bases next to the border of Iran and supplying some local rebels to attack the Iranian Police. Great Stuff... Something we can be proud of. What was the outcome of the stratergy of surrounding them. Oh yeah. They have spent millions beafing up their defence forces. Well thats not good if someone actually carries out their threat to attack Iran is it ??

Bush will be like Truman and Eisenhower - derided at the time, but later seen as the architects of a sensible policy in difficult circumstances - a policy that will last decades.

Simple answer to this one .... BULLSHIT!! Anyone with half a brain who does not learn history in the US or UK will learn of War Criminals that got away scott free and taught never believe anyone just because they smile when they say it.

Cheney and Rumsfeld took a lead role in much of this and I don't doubt they are proud.

Proud, Happy, Rich, Lucky they are not in Nurenburg for War Crimes.

Bush's success in Africa, where he has increased aid and thereby made a huge impact on reducing HIV and malnutrition, are more properly seen as his own triumph.

Trying to help with Aids, without helping with Water and Education has endangered anyone in Africa trying to help these people. Read the reports from people who are there and not the US PR group. The people there struggle with local beliefs and the lack of education. If the US spent less on War and carrying out War Crimes, we would likely have no Aids in the world today. But then we would also not be having a Global Meltdown, which is really going to screw the world.

So , thanks, but no thanks Bush Regime.... and here is my shoe to , to thow into the mix...

Merry Xmas, and have a happy new year. .... Millions wont !! :)
