Ulterior Motives

It all began with wiretappings and then there was Guantanomo Bay. Bush tried to give the U.S. ominus responsibility of HIS War on Terror. Where was the terror really at though? Was it in the middle east or was it in his famous practical joke? The joke that he allowed to happend so terror could be spread and HE could justifiably respond to. I think Bush could be compared to the J. Edgar Hoover of my time. He was in a position of power that he abused for years and always tried to justify it to the citizens of the U.S.A. So after years of a war that I believe he helped start and not acehiving one of his supposed main goals what was really his motive for going to war and ignoring terrorist threats?

Practical Jokes?

In James Cameron's Avatat Grace and Jake Sully have a short and insightful conversation:
They bulldozed the sacred site on purpose to trigger a response.- Grace
Just fabricating this war together what they want.- Grace
When people  are sitting on shit that you want you make them your enemy;then you're justified in taking it.- Jake Sully. Did Bush really allow the 9/11 attacks to happen so that he would be justified in retaliating? He had just recently purchased new oil pipelines and they were of coursed being threatened by Al-Qadea. The 9/11 Commission Report declared that both Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush were "not well served" by the FBI and CIA. Bill Clinton decided that it was not the best time to bring up the issue of the threat as he was leaving office. However, Bush would still learn bout it and would ignore warning signs. From the 9/11 commission report pg. 6 "During the spring and summer of 2001, U.S. intelligence agencies received a stream of warnings about an attack al Qaeda planned, as one report puts it "something very, very, very big." Director of Central Intelligence George Tenet told us "the system was blinking red." Was this real an attack or a truly infamous practical joke? OPINIONS!!!

Commitments

When Bush started the War on Iraq one of his "main objectives" was to capture Osama bin Laden. Instead after 8 years all he accomplished was the capture of Saddam Hussein and an attempt to build a new country and install a new government. In less than four years Barack Obama had gathered intelligence that led to the death of Osama bin Laden, Muhammad Gaddafi, and Ayman al-Zawahiri. All of these men had ties to terrorist networks and bin Laden was the mastermind of Bush's defining presidential event: The 9/11 attacks. Another one of his "main objectives" was to rid Iraq of weapons of mass destruction. What did he do once he found out there were none in the first place? He turned to the kids. The No Child Left Behind Act was a red-herring tactic to make people forget that he had just lied to the citizens who put him in office. So much for a man of high intelligence who graduated from Yale University with a Bachelor of Arts in History. Should we use his education as a red-herring tactic or tell it like is?

Expectations

When Bush decided to work on his fathers campaign did he or his father think what kind of legacy they would leave at the White House? If so they must not be real proud of their legacy. The father did not get reelected for a second term and the son caused 9/11. Just like the Deep Horizon oil spill somebody has to take blame for the catastrophic event which could have been prevented.

An Inconvenient Reality

In 2001 when George Bush first took the U.S.A and the rest of the world was at peace. Banks were not filing bankruptcy(true irony), technology was still moving fast as ever, oil productiona nd consumption was not an issue, and no one was speaking of a stimulus which could save the economy. Then again in 2004 when the citizens of the U.S. we're fed up with the president who held the highest approval rating in history ever he was right back in office. Til this day I do not know anyone who approved of the methods and leadership since Bush became president. Who exactly did they poll to get this historic approval ratings? I think the government just tricked some people into believing his approval rating to keep him in office and do what America was built on. Overrun another government and start your own country. I am happy to be a free citizens, but the same people that America are at war with use to be us. Terrorists or freedom fighters who are trying to claim their peace of the world and do not want outside influence. So to help them fulfill their ideal the Bush administration allowed them to attack us on 9/11, so we would be justified in retaliating and ultimately establishing a new country.

Definitions

Would you like to know why the Bush administration was filled with so much controversy? Although George Bush attended an Ivy League school like many other presidents he was not much of a critical thinker, nor was he good at reasoning. What did enhanced interrogation techniques really mean? It gave U.S. officers the right to legally torture detainees who may or may not have known about terrorist actitivites. Bush may have been president at the time, but why did he think he alone had the power to defy the Geneva Conventions? The Geneva Convention laws had been in effect for almost 140 years and were abided by many countries. He used his position of power to put America into a war with no clear purpose and he is somewhat responsible for the 9/11 attacks. It is public record that the Bush family has ties to the bin Laden family and that they have interest in the middle east to protect. This is one of the main reasons HE went to war. Bush and vice president Dick Cheney had secured a pipeline to be build that would draw natural gas from different regions in the middle east and they wanted to protect these assets. After the longest war in U.S. history we have not found any weapons of mass destruction which was our original intent. So you have to ask yourself, if pipelines have been in the middle east years before George Bush and there are no weapons of mass destruction why are we still in the middle east after ten years?

Phrases and Rhymes

Undoubtedly 9/11 was the worst attack on American soil in the history of the U.S.A, but why did George Bush think that was the best time to pass a bill called the Patriot Act? He stole the idea from Johnny Cochran. When Johnny Cochran was defending O.J. Simpson in the trial of his life not only did he put on a great show he gave the jurors what they wanted to hear: a phrase that was thought provoking. "If the glove don't fit, you must acquit". From then on O.J. was never going to be found guilty. Anyone in Congress who would not vote for a bill called the Patriot Act would be labeled the most unpatriotic person in America. So out of fear and the need to conform it was passed. This gave birth to Guantanamo Bay, wiretaps, and other government sanctioned ideas to protect the U.S.A. At the end of the day you have to ask yourself this question though: Were the unintended consequences of the Patriot Act better or worse for the economy? http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2008/03/15/unintended-consequences.html
