Ironic Isn’t It!

Here we have the “War on Terra” President who is threatening Hamas (which was democratically elected) with the elimination of funding, because it doesn’t recognize Israel’s right to exist. And yet he is totally behind the bidness deal (thanks Ms. Molly for the Texas term) approving the purchase of a British ports management company by a UAE (which is a monarchy/dictatorship and totally undemocratic country,) state owned company that likewise doesn’t recognize Israel’s right to exist.

So, it would seem, just on the face of it, that Corporatism does indeed outweigh what this administration euphemistically calls “National Security” or foreign policy consistency or coherency.

So, while I am not making any claims as to the legitimacy, or not, of this particular bidness deal, it gives me great pleasure to watch the Bush/Rove team get their collective asses chewed out over it. They have used, and abused, the fear of the “Brown Skinned Arab” to justify every assault on the U.S. Constitution, the citizenry and the world (see Iraq) since 9/11. It is only justice that they now have to justify their position on giving carte blanche to an Arabic Israeli hating regime to the most sensitive area of port security which the GOP has repeatedly under-funded.

Yes indeed, I love it when the roosters come home to roost.

And that seems to be happening as Ms. America Rice tries to strong arm the rest of the Middle East.

It would be a bummer for her, except that unfortunately she and the rest of these folks represent us in the world

Oy Vay!
