Bolton must bolt if Bush is to live politically
The Bolton nomination has once again got stuck in the Senate. By putting the entire weight of his political office behind him in the struggle to make Bolton his man at the UN, Bush has lost out politically. Seldom does a re-elected President lose ground politically so swiftly as did George Bush II. Bus and his neo conmen think that their narrow agenda will ispire the American people. Unfortunately they have seen through the game and are not responding. The War in Iraq is going very badly and there is no exit sttratregy still in place. The war in Afghanistan is slowly, but surely heating up. After lying low for nearly two years the Taliban is showing every sign of regathering its strength. The hunt for Bin Laden is going nowhere and Al Qeda is stronger than it ever was in the past. The patriot Act has eroded civil liberies in the USA and now the Big Brother even wants to monitor what you are reading. The FBI is trailing those taking more than a passing interest in West Asian culture and politics.
The men responsible for this sorry state of affairs do not seem to realise that the game of politics is based on more than mere rhetoric and grandstanding speeches. It is now emerging the even George Bush knew that the Iraqis lacked the weapons of Mass Destruction and that Bush and Blair together conspired to fool their people and take their nations to war over nothing.
