Bush State of the Empire

Predictably enough, Bush's SotE speech was upbeat and optimistic. I find it pretty damn hillarious that Iraq is still a total friggin' mess and all the Repubs are cheering him on.

"YAY! One victory out of a thousand failures! YAY!"

What kind of stupid, childish boy's club is this? Not only does one member cover for the other, but the entire group covers for their leader, too.

"YAY! We brought democracy to Iraq and now smart people will wonder why we don't bring it to our allies like Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Kuwait! YAY!"

I also loved the bit about the hydrogen cars. He mentioned hydrogen cars at least two SotE speeches ago. Where's the movement/money on that "initiative?" Here's a question for Bush:

What about MARS??

Wasn't it your plan to send "Spacial Entrepreneur" to Mars?

Here's a better question: Where are Iraq's WMD? Where are Iraq's oil revenue? Where are the flowers in the streets, you fool?

I wish Bush and other neo-cons could just admit what we're doing is corporate colonizing. Sure, we go in and (eventually) get out, but what we leave behind isn't democracy, it's capitalism. We open the door to a new market for the New American Way (NAW). The New American Way can be called hypocritical by some because it says that it's all for freedom, but all it really wants is a steady and growing stream of money.

As we've seen Bush prove, the money is flowing to companies like Halliburton and Bechtel--but it's not coming from Iraq--it's coming from US tax payers.

There's nothing we can really do to stop this hypocracy--this is the NAW.

Under the OAW (Original American Way), when American leaders said they were interested in spreading freedom and not shoving their way of government on other countries, they meant it.

Under the NAW, when American leaders say they are interested in spreading freedom and not shoving their way of government on other countries, they mean to do exactly that.

I think Bush said that last night, specifically. Ironic, since "bringing democracy to Iraq" is exactly what he said America doesn't do. This is the exact kind of open, bald-faced, hypocracy that I'm talking about here.

Any conservatives reading this out there--don't let it NAW at you--it's just your new way of life. (Lying so that your leader can get his way--whatever way that might be.)
