I read George Bush's final speech. One thing certainly hasn't changed. It is still September 11, 2001 where he is. It apparently always will be. He knows a lot more about September 11, 2001 than he is willing to share, but he still holds on to it as the today we are all supposed to stay in. He still says that acts of terrorism against America are the most threatening thing before us. I guess that means that he doesn't think climate change and peak oil are threatening. Or, he is still denying that they exist. That is another thing that hasn't changed, George Bush is more than happy to lie to the public. I really like the lie of his contrasting the terrorist as willing to condemn women to inferiority and kill innocents while his America is for freedom and justice. I guess the million women and children he has engineered the death of in Iraq are somehow not supposed to count anywhere. What about all the women in America who make less than 3/4ths of what an American man makes for the same job, and less than half if you include single mothers? That is not oppression? Or how about the lie that Iraq was an enemy of America? Weird considering that we were buying oil from them hand over fist until the first day of the Gulf war, that we installed Sadam as dictator to insure that oil supply. Bush says that we are the land of freedom and dignity, but he must be including warrantless wiretapping of citizens not even suspected of crimes and torture of people held without charges by government employees.
I could go on, but the main thing that the speech should provide is some backbone to those who are actively working to prosecute the traitor, our first turncoat president and vice president as well as their co-conspirators. If we want to look like America to the rest of the world again, we have to make it clear that law breakers are not allowed to walk this country free.
