Bush’s Ponzi Scheme War

Without the war in Iraq, the BushMen didn’t have a prayer of winning the recent election. The administration likes to keep the fiction going that people who voted for values (read, anti-abortion and anti-gay) were the deciding factor. They weren’t. Finishing what the White House started in Iraq was a top priority in the minds of voters. The fact that Bush started the war was a determining factor in voting for Bush to be the one to finish the war. How can the BushMen pay their debt to the original war supporters in Congress plus pay off their debt to new supporters while the war in Iraq is going sour? In a word...impossible. It’s a Ponzi scam. The inverted pyramid has to topple. In a real Ponzi the con-meisters will have taken their money to the Caymans way before the new investors get wise. The BushMen have no place to go. How do they plan to carry off their impossible con? It's starting to look like they have no real plan other than warning people not to reveal secrets and building a wall around themselves. In a Ponzi, the new patsies get stiffed. Please note. The BushMen have already stiffed the born-agains who want their payoff. They expected the White House to deliver a coup de grace to pro-choice legislators. But the WH is saying, Get lost. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah and Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee) already has said he supports Arlen Specter against the hatchet men in Congress. The far-right religious fanatics may be small in numbers but they are mean as snakes and they have no loyalty except to themselves. Stiffing them is a bad move for the WH. And purging the Cabinet and CIA of ideologically impure members is another bad move. The singing and whistle-blowing from the ousted and maligned promises to drown out the GOP’S threats and bullying. Bank on it. With every passing day, the war in Iraq becomes more unmanagable and more of a malodorous mess than the day before. The BushMen have tried to float their occupation of Iraq as a model for pre-emptive war which justifies US global supremacy. Is it possible the GOP is so arrogant and clueless that it doesn’t realize the limits of its con? Put another way, is it possible the GOP is so deluded and lawless that it believes its Ponzi will never crash? Oh you betcha! But in a free society--and no matter how much the GOP Gestapo wants it to appear otherwise, we are a free society--the truth always comes out. In a free society those who have been muzzled always spill the beans. In a free society the status is never quo and things always change.
