Did you see *bush's speech on CNBC (7:30est) - It was PNAC II

[cthrumatrix]

He was speaking right out the PNAC playbook. Using terror as the trojan horse for change, all countries in the middle east should aspire to democracy and this is the calling of Bush and company.

He called out Iran, Syria and other and said used Iraq as an example of a fledgling democracy at work and justice can only be found through democracy.

It was a "cornerstone speech" for shrub...he has played his hands and I can't help but think that freepers and other shrub supporters will say "enough of this shit"!

American's are not in favor of seeing thier country go bankrupt so that we can democratize the middle east.

Now you know why we have 14 military bases in Iraq (the size of texas)

5. We are already bankrupt.

Bankrupt means that you are insolvent. It also means that a person's creditors administer the debtor's estate to their benefit. We as a nation are being administered by foreign banks for their benefit.

In an attempt to prevent the USDollar from descending to its proper value, foreign central banks in Asia have purchased US Treasurys on a grand scale which shows up in statistics which the USGovt cannot distort.

9. Yup, that's the short of it. If the US government was not

well, the government of the US of A, nobody would lend it money. It looks to be a terribly irresponsible debtor.

10. this is a terrible error..... this must be linked with another US event

If something happened again in the US (911 like)...shrub would play this card as authorization to rid countries of terrorists through democracy across the middle east.

People will be caught in the "cross hairs" of protection, loss of freedoms and bankruptcy.

There is no way shrub can accomplish this and get support from Americans -- unless we are harmed again.

They have no other trump card but --- change of the world through terror.

11. We haven't had much justice here since he got in the White House.

There has been no justice in the last 20,000 years? Where do his writers gets this crap?

[cthrumatrix]

12. I felt the same way - "who wrote this crap" ..... it was an eye opener

He basically laid out his plans to continue democracy in the Middle East.
