Snookered.

Every day, there is more evidence that it ain’t over ‘til it’s over!

We naively thought that when the term of the Bush presidency was fulfilled, we could go on and repair the damage he did and get back to business. In virtually every way, the optimists have been proven wrong.

It is beginning to appear as if Bush is the present from the Right Wing that keeps on giving. More evidence of that slipped out in the past few weeks. Remember, our ally Pakistan; a country that took the term “weaponizing” to new heights?… Well, after America caught up with a ship loaded down with components for Libya’s nuclear weapon-building program, our government pressured Musharef to put Kahn under the equivalent of house arrest. Kahn was blamed for putting together nuclear programs with others on our enemies list, including North Korea. In this, they had been aided and abetted by China who saw Pakistan as the enemy of their enemy, India.

What we didn’t know at the time was that it was Musharef’s government that had been and continued to double deal with our enemies. While they were taking money from us and seemed to have their own nuclear weaponry under control, the truth was that they were working with terrorists governments, like Iran, to help them build their nuclear capabilities.

The Bush’s government’s failure to apply critical pressure to Pakistan during this watershed, when we could still had sufficient clout to do so, encouraged Pakistan to continue with its program of aiding and abetting the enemies of the West. As a result, all of the organizations and policies in place aimed at preventing nuclear expansionism were never used and are now after the fact. We now know through secret sources that many of these countries listed on the most dangerous lists, now have nuclear weapons at their disposal, thanks to Pakistan and the aid of the Chinese, making the world a much more dangerous place than we could ever imagine.

While Cheney has harped on Bush’s success in keeping us out of War, he never touches on the truth that the democratic government of Obama has inherited a much more dangerous world and that the Bush government has set the stage for a much more dangerous outcome than we might have ever expected or anticipated.
