Bush, The Ultimate War President
Bush and Blair alienated the International community today by laying the groundwork for an international force in Lebanon.
Also in the news today, Bush plans to sell weapons and military equipment to several "moderate" middle east countries. Some of the weapons sold include Blackhawk helicopter gunships and Javelin anti-tank missiles. The company that will be handling the contract on the weapons deal contributed $5000 to Duke cunningham in 2005 alone.
I can't be the only one that sees a troubling pattern developing here. While international public opinion of U.S. policies continues to get worse, we are busy arming our allies to the teeth and severely pissing off those who already wish us harm. When Bush was described as a War President I didn't initally understand the full implication of this label. Nice work America, you voted for a war president and that is exactly what you got.
President Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair said Friday they want an international force dispatched quickly to the Middle East but said any plan to end the fighting must address long-running regional disputes to be effective.Meanwhile, opinions in the Arab world are quickly shifting in support of Hezbollah.
Many countries in Europe and the Middle East are calling for an immediate cease-fire and have deplored the impact of Israel’s campaign on Lebanon. The gap between the United States and Britain and other nations has intensified some of the diplomatic strains that have existed since Bush invaded Iraq in 2003.
