Apr. 21, 2005 George W. Bush is as lame as a two-legged cow, and needs a set of walking papers, for his hike out of the White House back home to Connecticut. He has maintained again and again that there have been absolutely no mistakes in the follow-up of 9/11 and in the conduct of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and that if there were a number of mistakes, they were all made by somebody else, anybody else. George W. Bush doesn’t make mistakes. For example, he is not to be reproached for sitting in a class room doing nothing while the Twin Towers were blazing. He was not at all remiss; he just didn’t realize that it was so important. No one told him. He is not to be faulted for failing to acknowledge that the attack was a reprisal for America’s bias towards Israel. He wasn’t trying to hide anything; he simply didn’t understand. His staff did not enlighten him. Just before the war, when the yellowcake forgeries had already been discovered and were widely publicized, George W. Bush was not at all culpable for not acting on the new information. He simply didn’t hear about the forgeries. His staff forgot to mention them to him. Then when he finally did hear about them, the fact that he did nothing is not at all reprehensible. He wasn’t being cavalier; he just didn’t understand that the forgeries were important and that he should have done something. No one explained to him. Then when the exposure of Valerie Plame became an important issue, George W. Bush knew nothing about the leak. How can you criticize a president for what his staff does? You can be sure that if Bush had known about the leak personally, it would never have happened. Then when it finally emerged that Bush was in on the leak all along, he maintained that it wasn’t a leak after all; it was a declassification. A president can declassify whatever he wants. He didn’t say this in the first place, because he considered it a threat to national security to acknowledge that he was in on the leak. And of course he didn’t know about the torture and abuse in the prisons in Iraq and elsewhere. He is strongly opposed to torture and abuse. It was his men who took the initiative for the torture and abuse. And no one on his staff had the decency to tell Bush all about it, until it was in the news. So you can imagine how angry he was with his staff. Can’t everybody see that Bush’s indignation proves that he didn’t know about it, or else he would have done something? Then there was the Tillman death. Bush didn’t know that Pat Tillman was killed by friendly fire. You can imagine how angry he would have been if he had known that his staff was trying to glamorize the military blunder as an act of heroism. Bush does not believe in propaganda. He’s a straight-shooter, like everyone from Connecticut. He would have come right out and owned up to the mistake. Bush is too big to play stupid little games, you can be sure. He didn’t know that the trailers were not weapons of mass destruction. Everybody else in the country knew, but no one in the White House knew about it, especially Bush. How can you give a man demerits for things he didn’t know about? Naturally, if he had known, you can be sure he would never had made those irresponsible claims. Bush never makes irresponsible claims, you can be sure of that. The record shows that he always tells the truth to the best of his knowledge. Unfortunately, he is usually in the dark and his knowledge is very limited. His people keep making him look bad. Bush never makes mistakes. But his staff keeps tripping him up. Bush simply cannot get on top of his job, it seems. He can’t handle his people. He can’t cut the mustard. He can’t hack it. He keeps letting his subordinates make him look like a fool and a liar. Maybe Bush should drag up, turn in his time card, and walk on down the road. Even if it takes a little pushing. It’s about time to give this lummox the heave-ho! ------------ About the author Thomas Keyes: I have written two books: A SOJOURN IN ASIA (non-fiction) and A TALE OF UNG (fiction), neither published so far.
