Bush's August Surprise

The opposition party always worries about an "October surprise" in the run-up to every national election. This year it seems that Boy George is getting a surprise every month, regardless of what the Republicans do in October.

The more I read the article in the Washington Post about the Bush luncheon the other day, the more I laugh myself into tears. He actually expressed surprise and frustration at the Iraqi Shiite demonstration in Baghdad in support of Hezbollah's Shiites during the conflict with Israel.

At the luncheon that I referred to in my sarcastic post yesterday about not cutting and running, he listened to some half-baked professor from Rutgers expound about a domino effect if Iraq fell (to whom?). A totally senseless theory, since what would follow would be a stateless religious war between the Shiites and the Sunnis throughout the Middle East.

That war would be even more vicious because of racial differences. The Iranians are not Arabs (I don't know if Bush knows that). They are not a semitic people. They are known to persecute the Arabs who live in Iran, regardless of the fact that those Arabs are also Shiites.

The Iranians are also not the original Persians, who had a much more sophisticated society. They are an Indo-European people who migrated from the north centuries ago. The only unifying force these racial and religious antagonists have to keep them from killing each other right now is the U.S. presence in Iraq and the state of Israel.

And here's Boy George at lunch (hopefully not talking with his mouth full), "very engaged," in listening to some goofball professor talk about a domino theory. He's also "frustrated" that the Iraqis don't appreciate what we've done for them (has he seen pictures of their neighborhoods lately?), that the Iraqis are "not on board," and that some of the demonstrators even yelled "Death to America."

The man who didn't know that there was a Shia and a Sunni sect in Islam until two months before the invasion continues to flout his cultural ignorance. He can eat lunch with the experts from now until the day he leaves office. This man is incapable of understanding what a quagmire he has created for our country. He's just too dumb. Ask conservative talk show host, Joe Scarborough.
