One Response to “Video: Bush Says al-Maliki Support Unwavering”

    Let me explain a little somethin’ somethin’, as if you already didn’t know this. This is a perfect example of why Bush, our president is a horrible president. His idea of strategy is “set-it-and-forget-it.” That is to say, if he makes a decision he is so infantile in mindset that he cannot change his strategy or he might “look bad.” That’s right! he can’t “look” bad so he will support any plan, any general, any dead-end strategy, even if it is certain to fail. He’s the Decider after all, he can’t very well “decide” something and then have to admit he was wrong, so he rather sacrifice his own country to save face.

    Please remember, America and JFK also talked much of its “unwavering” support for the South Vietnamese military regime the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) headed by military strongman Dien. If your memory will serve you correctly you will know what the “unwavering” support of the U.S. means in the long run. It means when your ability to serve a useful purpose to the United States is exhausted, or better yet, the president of the United States is beleaguered by your inability to make mission impossible to mission “wonderful” you find yourself at the end of a U.S. supported military coup on your life. So much for “friends to the end” pledge eh?

    Bush doesn’t give a flying shit about al-Maliki, I sure hope al-Maliki has some good contingency plans on the board becuase I have a feeling he’s going to need them pretty soon.

    Kennedy administration supported a coup. In 1963, some of Diem’s own generals in the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) approached the American Embassy in Saigon with plans to overthrow Diem. With Washington’s tacit approval, on November 1, 1963, Diem and his brother were captured and later killed.
