The Voice of the White House
1-6-7


WASHINGTON DC -- "Working in the White House is like working in the monkey house in a zoo when all the primates are loaded with uppers.

A number of lower staffers have abruptly quit, Harriet Myers has quit and others are going the same way. Now why is this? Because it is now very obvious that Bush has lost his marbles, if he ever had any, and we are headed into a major governmental crisis.

Bush has absolutely no intention of leaving Iraq. Any general officer who disagrees with his stupid "surge" is promptly fired and others warned that Bush will fire them if they open their mouths. The brass at the Pentagon and the troops in the field are approaching open mutiny.

There are very serious rumors that National Guard and reserve units will not show up for shipment to the slaughterhouse. Bush has told Congress that they will do what he tells them and if they do not, he will refuse to sign any of their bills he does not approve of and refuse to implement anything they try to pass over his head.

He has deliberately antagonized the new Congress and when he is told that the people want an end to the Iraq horrors, he claims the public still want him to "stay the course."

Hate mail and death threats are pouring in here in unprecedented numbers and the Secret Service can't begin to keep up with them. There is no question that very soon, there will be a major confrontation between Bush on one side and the military and Congress on the other. And be sure Bush will lose.

No one seems to know what to do about Bush. He will listen to no one and could care less what the American public wants. What he wants is to hang the remaining Saddam crew, launch a huge military attack in Baghdad, level parts of that city that he personally feels should be leveled, kill off anything that moves, replace the current Iraqi government with a pliable military dictator like Saddam and then come home in what he considers will be a great triumph.

A Republican Senator recently said that what Bush was doing was criminal. It is and now both Congress, the military and a growing segment of the American public are beginning to realize that Bush has to be removed, by force if necessary, from his high office.

I have talked with some of the staff members who are in his presence on a regular basis and all of them say, without reservation, that he has gone around the bend. The Pentagon brass have nicknamed him Caligula and there is a very strong possibility of open revolt from that sector. Troops in the field are seriously talking about mutiny but if Bush knows about this, he could care less.

The plain and simple truth, children, is that our President is a fanatic nut and has absolutely no business running a war. Whatever happens to him will be entirely his fault and I am looking for another job starting this afternoon."

maestros inane ramblings cheer me up no end......
A few mates of mine in the pub are in favour of making smoking compulsory. No doubt about it, we have a majority.............

Maestro, cool down.

While I agree that this government has probably pandered consciously or unconsciously to various lobbyists and various groups and are still doing so.

I don't have a great love for the Masons, due to them believing themselves to be or acting as if they are a secret boys club. In the past I think because of the establishment connections, they may have wielded an unreasonable influence in society.

I think the Israeli government and the Jewish body, individually or as a whole, do try to influence the actions of the British and American governments in the Middle East and have done so by direct lobbying and their pressure through the press. I think, in their position it would be unreasonable for them not to do so, but I personally dislike the way they have used this power (which is based on the financial wealth) and I think had played a corrupting part in influencing the political parties in America and possibly in this country.

Also, I think, that when there is outrage at or a criticism of the Israel and the Jewish lobby quickly pronounced it as anti-Semitic and attempts are made to suppress alternative opinions held by those not members of that state or religion.

But this British government, under the apparent influence of Blair, has decided to suppress the investigation into the possible corruption charges relating to BAE contracts with Saudis Arabia.

It will be interesting whether he will carry on his behaviour with the possible investigation in arm supply to South Africa.

On reference which may be useful start.

H6.

Blair has ignored his cabinet, his advisers, the advice of many of his forces leaders, parliament and the general consensus of the people. In my opinion continue to lie and deceive the people they are supposed to represent for their own personal gain.


You are reading into the above that which I did not write.

But I do, like many others, believe that the Iraqi War was illegal, and the more and more like many believe that Blair lied to the country about his reasons for going to war.

I also believe, that Blair is becoming more and more detached from reality and is a danger to the labour party, this country and international diplomacy in general. The best service he could do for all is to resign as prime minister immediately.

Fred,
I cannot construe any other meaning to;

the advice of many of his forces leaders, parliament and the general consensus of the people.

than you say he took part in the war against the wishes of parliament and the people. parliament voted in favour and the polls showed majority support.
Alan

H6, what you construe is not necessarily correct from what I wrote. If you review criminal files and the statements contained in them, it may be reasonable to deduct certain themes from them, on which opinion can be given, they do not necessarily give factual support to those opinion. This is one of the problems with interpretation of the covert motivations of other people.

Then express it as an opinion, not presented as a fact. The facts are as stated. Population and parliament supported the position by majority.
Your opinion is the opposite of that, and you are entitled to it, but opinion should be formed on fact, not instinct or hearsay.
Am I right then in assuming that you meant something along the lines of;
Despite the fact that the records clearly show parliament and the electorate supporting the decision, I believe they did not really, because I wish to pin the blame on Tony Blair.

H^, No, but if you wish to make that statement your are of course entitled to do so.

Many would add the opinion that Blair lied and did not place the electorate in a proper position to make an informed position. He is still regarded by many, within and without this country, as untrustworthy.

The situation is now different and I don't any future Prime Minister will, in the near future, be able to take us into an unnecessary war, with the colossal death toll and resulting mayhem, that this PM has done.
