Bush
Once upon a time there was a spanking new Sec'y of Defense in Washington. One who was going to clean up the mess "Baby" Bush had created in Iraq. Bush had accomplished this by listening to a bunch of Neo-con artists who had an agenda of their own - to get control of the Middle East, to show that the U.S. alone could be the new cop on the block.
This of course coincided with the agenda of puppet-master Geppeto Cheney who needed control of Middle East oil for his corporfate buddies. It also met the needs of Baby Bush who needed a "slam dunk" to pump up his 2004 election campaign.
But, alas, the Mission that had been Accomplished quickly fell apart. So the old Secy of Defense who was associated in everybody's minds with the failed mission in Iraq had to go. So the Bush family brought Robert Gates off the bench. And all the newly Democratic-controlled Congress had to do was annoint the new Sec'y. So some noises were made about how the War in Iraq had not really been the success that had been claimed. and despite warnings that Gates was first and foremost a company man, that he would do exactly what his bosses needed done, he was annointed.
Well, as predicted, here's his latest pronouncement. The Boston Globe reports that "Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates said yesterday that a congressional resolution opposing President Bush's troop buildup in Iraq undercuts US commanders and 'emboldens the enemy'."
How many times have we heard that from Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld that opposition to the decider 'emboldens the enemy'? It didn't take long for the new Sec'y to show his true face. The "Decider" can't brook much opposition.
