Bush’s New Cold War

With the Iraq war we see the obscene transfer of wealth that marked the twentieth century, continue unabated. The military-industrial-petroleum complex got their puppet elected twice and he sure has delivered the goods in a flurry of bullshit. It’s not enough, more defense spending is needed. By sticking the strategic defense poker up the Russian bear’s ass, Bush risks igniting the cold war again. Bush may look into those fetid orbs Putin calls eyes and see Andy of Mayberry, but that’s the wishful thinking of a fool.

Putin is every decent, thinking person’s, worst nightmare and when he looks at George you can be sure he isn’t taken in like the American public was in the last election. Putin sees a third rate bull shitter, offering him an opportunity to solidify power in the hands of the old guard. Putin sees a way to turn oil money into power and prestige. Nukes, nukes and more nukes.

 Will billions of dollars spent on S.D.I. make America any safer? Not one bit! America will continue to sacrifice the money she needs for schools, roads, bridges, environmental technology and effective national defense programs so that a few filthy rich friends of Cheney can get richer. A couple of million dollars spent on suit case nukes could totally defeat the multi-billion dollar S.D.I.!  Strategic Defense is a combination of sleazy pork barrel and the worst sort of “Maginot Line,” thinking.
