On September 8, 2014 Marc A. Thiessen of the Washington Post
said that George W. Bush was right. Two days later, the editors of the Wall
Street Journal said that Dick Cheney was right at the time, and continues to be
right at this time. Thiessen said it in a column that came under the title:
“George W. Bush was right about Iraq
pullout” whereas the Journal editors wrote a piece that came under the title:
“Dick Cheney is Still Right” and the subtitle: “Obama's return to Iraq reveals
how wrong he has been about the world.”
The first thing to strike the readers looking at this
approach to punditry is that partisanship has become so blinding in America,
the pundits have stopped pontificating, and have turned to spinning the events
so as to claim victory while standing on a stage that is paved with a thick
layer of defeats … so much so that the whole country is staggering, unable to
move forward. The puzzling part is: Where do these people hope to find victory?
Thiessen tells of the time when President George W. Bush
spoke against pulling American troops out of Iraq saying that if this were to
be done by his successor, the probability will increase that “American troops
would have to return at some later date to confront an enemy that is even more
dangerous.” Thiessen then adds this comment: “He had no idea at the time how
prophetic his words would be.” And this is the only time that Thiessen was
correct about something. It is that W. Bush had no idea what he was talking
about because the words were put in his mouth by speechwriters who knew where
they were taking the country.
This is alluded to at the end of the column where the author
writes of the consequences of America 's
withdrawal from Iraq
saying this: “The results were entirely predictable. Indeed, they were
predicted – by George W. Bush.” Well, if the W had no idea how prophetic his
words would be, but predicted what was entirely predictable, whose prediction
was that? There is only one answer: It was the prediction of his Jewish
speechwriters who put words in his mouth, and got him to speak them not knowing
what he was saying … until it was too late. Or is it late in the day?
No one knew what was going on better than the editors of the
Wall Street Journal who, together with the Jewish network in America , plotted to turn the country into the
fuel whose consumption has been feeding what they regard as the triumph of
World Jewry and the glory of Israel .
Now that the fuel is about to be exhausted, the characters that burned it are
looking for someone to blame. That someone happens to be the current President,
Barack Obama.
They begin their piece pleading innocence in a way that is
not surprising. They say that the victim of their machination has admitted his
error – well, he did not admit directly but tacitly. Here is that passage: “He
[Obama] is tacitly admitting that the liberal critique of the Bush
Administration's approach to Islamic terrorism was wrong.” And they explain
that “Mr. Obama won the Presidency by arguing that the U.S. had
alienated the world and the Muslims by recklessly using force abroad.” They
conclude that this approach has failed as shown by the fact that Obama sees the
need to return to Iraq .
Like Thiessen who blew his own analysis, the editors of the
Journal demonstrate how seriously flawed their conclusions are. Look at this:
“The U.S. absence left Syria 's
battleground to … the Qataris, who have funded Islamic State and the al Qaeda
affiliated al-Nusrah.” The crux of the matter is that the only Arab or Muslim
nation on the side of the terrorists is Qatar
where America
maintains a massive naval base. Why is that? Because the Qataris know they now
have the same condition that Saudi
Arabia had when Bin Laden engineered the
9/11 event. They are telling potential terrorists: Yes, we are letting the
Americans desecrate our land, but bear with us for now, and we'll pay you off
as long as you don't touch us.
As to the rest of the Arab World, President Obama has
managed to bring it into a coalition not much different from what Bush 41 did
when he ousted Saddam from Kuwait .
Had Obama not extended his hand in friendship to the Arabs and the Muslims, America would
today be fighting terrorism alone, at the same time that its Jewish Fifth
Column and money hungry traitors in the Congress are undermining it from
within.
Just listen to Cheney and Cheney talk, and you'll know what
betrayal of country sounds like. But are these people going to win? Or will
Obama's effort prove to be the denouement of a historic drama bound to have a
classic climax?
Well, the best drama is written according to a formula that
says, you begin the story with evil pretending to be good while portraying the
good as being evil. You develop the plot and the characters in such a way as to
make the reversal of roles unexpected yet plausible. For this to happen, you
continue to show evil as winning till the reversal is near to completion at
which time evil realizes it has had the rug pulled from under it. You have him
stage a last hooray, and this is when the good delivers the ultimate blow,
soundly defeating him.
