US Foreign Policy

Libertarian on Bush

Lew Rockwell is a libertarian but I wouldn’t call him a conservative as does Ken Macleod. Ken is right, though, in saying that this is a pretty radical essay:

There is something grossly immoral about a regime that saunters into town, bankrupts its host country and destroys a few others in the process, making mess after mess and still not being held accountable for it. Making matters worse is the reality that it and its friends in industry will take off with all the loot. After all, all this money is going somewhere, and it isn’t to average Iraqis!

Rockwell chews the bushite actions and policies and spits them out in little pieces.
Some of you may not like everything he says but you should, nevertheless, read the entire piece!

Profiteers Card Deck

In the ongoing deck of cards theme there is now the War Profiteers card deck. Part of their intro:

The War Profiteers Card Deck exposes some of the real war criminals in the US�s endless War of Terror. This is no Sunday bridge club. These are individuals and institutions that stack the deck against democracy in the rigged game of global power.

David Novak, the two of diamonds, is the subject of this post by Major Barbara at Open Source Politics.

The Next Revision

Well, I just needed to read for a bit more and one answer to the last post’s question pops right up. Per US Arms Control Chief John Bolton:

The U.S.-led invasion of Iraq was justified in part because Saddam Hussein retained scientists capable of building nuclear weapons, Washington’s top arms control official said Thursday.

Atrios interprets it this way:

Now, it appears that the real danger wasn’t that Iraq had WMDs or that they had WMD programs it’s that the sought to have WMD programs.

Bolton presented this revision yesterday. I presume the administration wants to see how this flies before determining how much emphasis to put on this in the Sunday speach.
This may also mean that the expected Kay report looks weak even to the bushies.

Someone Will Pay the Price

Pessimist does not think bush has been doing too well and believes that the US will pay dearly:

George W. Bush has been suckered in the most complete way one can be suckered, and we the American People are going to pay for his stupidity – and pay dearly.

Read the whole article. There is a lot of very interesting stuff about what other countries are doing about oil while bush screws around in Iraq and Afghanistan all the while waving a finger at the rest of the world. You should be worried.
Oh, and be happy with the $2/gallon gas prices. They might look real good not far down the timeline.
