“Far be it for the president of America to decide who should lead another country.”
Take three fucking guesses whom.

Yup. It’s my best mate Dumbya. I watched an interview with him on TV last night. My God, I have never seen something which was both so unintentionally funny AND absolutely terrifying at the same time. (And no, I Know What You Did Last Summer does not count. It did not scare me.)

The sheer bloody arrogance of the man. It was absolutely breathtaking.

“Far be it for the president of America to decide who should lead another country.”

This was in response to a question about whether or not Yasser Arafat should be replaced as Palestinian leader. Not long after he was boasting that, thanks to the “War on Terrorism”, the Taliban are no longer in charge in Afghanistan.

Isn’t that the president of America deciding who leads another country?

Furthermore, Dumbya laughed when Sir Trevor McDonald (a well respected journalist in Britain) asked him a question and asked if it was a serious question. No. It was a laugh. Didn’t he get the memo about this being a light-hearted interview to show the Brits what a swell guy he is?

He announced more than once that it was the policy of his administration to take out Saddam Hussein. No offering proof of any allegations against him. Just about not letting him ‘possibly’ supply terrorists with nuclear weapons. And yet some ask why I think that this part of the “war” is simply a way to correct daddies mistake.

After my entry yesterday, infinitywpi left me this thought in a note:
Hey, if it makes you feel any better… we didn’t elect the guy… the Supreme Court did.

I must admit, after the interview, that thought scares the shit out of me. The man might (is) get delusions of grandeur. He admitted he liked Tony Blair. Could the real reason be that Uncle Tony the grinning idiot will not stand up to him? (If Tony can stand anymore. All that time spent on his knees must have taken its toll.)

I actually wish that Thatcher was in power. At least she would not be afraid to stand up to the jumped up, power hungry Bush, who should be in it up to his neck over the Enron business (which has been conveniently covered up by the “war” proving what Jo Moore said in her email). And the fact that I want Thatcher back should tell you something about my feelings about the current situation.

Dumbya in charge of the biggest nuclear weapons arsenal in the world? That’s so scary not even Wes Craven would make the film.

Will

*ADDITION* I forgot to add the fact that not only does Bush have no idea where Bin Laden is, but appears to be proud of the fact.
