Is George Bush a Failed Commander and Chief?






In answering questions about 370 tons of missing high explosives, of the type that a half pound could down a jumbo jet, and which in greater quanities could trigger a nuclear bomb, White House spokesman, Scott McClellan, alternately insisted that Mr. Bush "wants to make sure that we get to the bottom of this" and tried to distance the president from knowledge of the issue. McClellan said Mr. Bush was informed of the disappearance only within the last 10 days. White House officials said they could not explain why warnings from the international agency in May 2003 about the stockpile's vulnerability to looting never resulted in action.


How can anyone distance the Commander and Chief of the United States army from the failure to secure 370 tons of High explosives that the Joint Command of the Iraqi war was informed by the International Atomic Energy association, had to be secured at the beginning of the war

.The prime reason--the American People and world was told-- that the US was going to war was to keep weapons of mass destruction out of the hands of terrorist. Now for all we know portions of the missing explosives are in the hands of Osama Bin Laden, portions kept in Iraq to fight our armed forces, and portions in Syria and Iran to be distributed world wide to terrorist groups .This may be the tragic mistake, which makes the Iraqi action impossible to win, and leads that country further down the road towards civil war. How can the Bush team say we have been made safer under his guard?

But the danger is not only being faced by our troops, Bush's blunder has endangered our country to a point that may makes 9/11 look like just a beginning skirmish. And it has endangered innocent civilians the world over for perhaps a couple of generations when we are talking about such a gigantic amount of high explosives.

George W. Bush a proven incompetent Commander and Chief has not only destabilized the Middle East with his criminal negligence, and incompetence he has endangered every country that fundamentalist terrorist see as their enemy.

To make an excuse that the President only heard about it in October of this year, is a greater condemnation of George W. Bush as Commander and Chief. Now there is no one in his or her right mind that can call the United States current President "a hands on Commander and Chief;" for if you listen to him and his staff he is not responsible for anything, except to announce that under his guard we have turned the corner in Iraq. What corner the corner to massive tragedy.

Certainly securing 370 lbs of mass explosives that could go into making nuclear devices, should have been on a competent Commander and Chief's check list from the very beginning of the war…

Despair

 


It is true the world is a dangerous, scary place, and we are going through a very dark period; where material power is amplified to a frightening excess by technology and the ability to retrieve and store information. Confusion and manipulation of opinion is much easier to achieve through the lack of independent media and information bombardment--that's the bad news! 




There are untellable numbers of kind, generous, courageous, and compassionate acts and just pure goodness going on every second we exist. And it is because of that, that the world isn't a living hell for a large number of its people who for the larger part (at the time being) have a very good
probability of operating within their daily lives without being murdered, maimed, raped or violated other ways.




Feeling of despair are more than just the beginning of clarity...It's
part of the  groundwork to following a spiritual path...no one starts out as an enlightened being although they start out with that potential. The spiritual path is one of lifting ourselves up by our own bootstraps...so it an ego action when we first choose to be on a spiritual path--usually with no real idea of what that is. But as we develops spiritually, an accompaniment of our  progress is often a feeling of hopelessness, as your illusion's start busting. However illusion transforms into compassion, and the thickening of compassion, which is the initial stage of becoming a true spiritual warrior.
The development of true compassion in itself signifies a weakening of
ego 

So the question  is how can we best truly change the world in a positive direction?


 Is their any  form of protest that can achieve tha? You can be sure, if the form of protest, is angry, self-righteous, and a more powerless analogue of what one is protesting against, then it will just be a catalyst for even greater multiplications of the negative forces politically and economically controlling our planet.




What to do? If we choose to protest we must do so with apparent love. Expect to be ineffectual, but put it out their anyway  if you can truly do it with love and compassion as its ground! But in the meanwhile lets us work on ourselves so the examples we set for others, will be simultaneously a conscious raising experience, which is also a liberating one...in the End this will prove to be a exponential process.


Am I a hippy, new age Idealist...I hope I am in the best sense of those terms.

The Mercury Scandal...



The Mercury Scandal...

Pretty Soon, the Bushie spinners, will say Mercury poisioning is great because it enables you to use child as a thermometer. Embrace the child in a bear hug, and if his mercury rises to his head and the kid's head turns bright Red you have a temperature; you can thank the power industry and their paid servant George W. Bush for this conveniance.
