He's at it Again

Can you hear the drums beating?

In a stern warning to Iran, President Bush said “all options are on the table” if the Iranians refuse to comply with international demands to halt their nuclear program, pointedly noting he has already used force to protect U.S. security.

Bush’s statement during an interview on Israeli TV late Friday was unusually harsh. He previously said diplomacy should be used to persuade Iran to suspend its nuclear program and if that failed then the U.N. Security Council should impose sanctions.

The U.S. government and others fear Iran’s nuclear work is secretly designed to produce nuclear weapons. Iran’s leaders deny that, saying it is only for the generation of electricity.

In the interview, Bush said the United States and Israel “are united in our objective to make sure that Iran does not have a weapon.”

But, he said, if diplomacy fails “all options are on the table.”

“The use of force is the last option for any president. You know, we’ve used force in the recent past to secure our country,” he said.


Can you believe this?!

We should not be surprised though. His re-election convinced this man that he is right for America, that America is behind him. You see, it only takes 51% to assure this man that all of America supports his misdirected, shortshighted, ignorant and narrowminded foreign policy.

If you voted for George W. Bush, this is what you voted for. An unrelenting series of confrontations, ultimatums, bypassing of international law and war. Never mind strengthening our borders, protecting our ports or re-enforcing our alliances. No, lets just say very similar things that we said before we invaded the last Muslim country we invaded. If they don't understand resolve, screw em'.

His public proclamations of his Christianity should make all believers shutter when he says things like this. Again, what is the message that is conveyed? A publicly confessing American president who says things like this? This guy is making a living out of war and many Christians support him. Do you have any idea what that does to our credibility?

He has not fulfilled his promise to Afghanistan. Hamid Karzai remains embattled in his efforts to reshape his country because George Bush abandoned him for an unneccessary war in Iraq.

Iraq's future remains uncertain because this man did not have the wisdom to committ enough troops to the effort once he undertook the whole erroneous endeavor.

Hundreds of non Mexican illegal immigrants have streamed over the Mexican border into the U.S. possibly with terrorist ties because your president has ignored the border issue because he is preoccupied and has a short attention span to begin with.

And now, he says things like this about Iran. He does not understand the implications of what a use of force against Iran could do. Many Americans don't either and may not care. He does not understand because he is convinced he is right in all that he says and does. This conviction that he holds was substantiated by his re-relection.

This is what you voted for.

May God help America.
