Deliver Us From Swedish Furniture

Now remind me, who is a failure?

In my earlier post I mentioned the Google Bombs, which are the results that had been manipulated by people linking to pages with terms that some people may not feel are totally relevant to those pages. Famously ‘Miserable Failure’ got George W’s bio as the top result on Google and ‘Dangerous Cult’ gives the top result Scientology. After a new set of revelations about Bush’s administration finally admitting that they did take kidnapped foreign nationals, (sorry extraordinary rendition, my mistake) through Bristish territory without telling them (even though it was a shared base and the need to know was explicitly required) and showing their popularity once again overseas by getting their embassy burned down in Serbia. You cannot believe that one man’s administration managed to turn the goodwill of the world after 9/11 to complete and utter mistrust and hatred in only a few short years. You do get the feeling that the admission of the Rendition was only made to get it out of the way in the last days of the Bush government, but his record of starting off with a budget surplus at the beginning of his first term, he leaves the US with their largest deficit ever, with US popularity abraod as what can only be described as ‘detested’ a third-world currency and a looming recession and inflationary nightmare….and I haven’t even mentioned Iraq yet. I mean you have got to be amazed at the gall of the man standing in Africa having not sent any troops saying ‘It’s easier to tear down than build a country’ after he sent troops in to Iraq against the prevailing opinion in the world after circumnavigating any democratic process. However Darfur turns up and the American troops flood in to quash the violence in a moment of great…oh, no they didnt did they, I mean what would be the point of that? Oh, I see it’s about not wanting to send US troops into another Muslim country….it’s not so much the troops in Muslim countries that is the problem, but which countries they are in….and the reason why. Now he has mentioned the billions ploughed into Africa to fight AIDs, which is all very well, but it comes with strings. Now as we know it’s better to teach a man to fish, but Bush seems to think it’s better to send them fish as this shows. If he really wanted the nations in Africa to thrive and be able to deal with their own problems better you would think he would allow the African Nations the ability to trade in a free market. However much of the economic activity in Africa is based around raw materials like cotton. So does Bush and his administration continue to subsidize cotton farmers in his electoral heartland even though the WTO has ruled this illegal….oh I give up, at least he won’t be around for much longer. Still the ghost of Bush’s Google Bomb still lingers, try typing ‘Who is a failure’ into Google……
