What are the cards he is dealing you?
43’s trump card is the “everlasting war on terrorism”. "The administration wasn't matching its deeds to its words in the war on terrorism," Rand Beers, a former special assistant to the president, told the Washington Post in an interview published June 16th 2003. Beers is no Democratic operative as he worked at the National Security Council for 35 years, under presidents Ronald Reagan, George Bush and Bill Clinton. Beers, 60, had been the 43’s team main counter-terrorism advisor until his resignation in March of 2003.
A gambit he frequently uses is bluffing. He plays it like a high stakes gambler when he touts something to high heavens, secretly knowing it is a lemon.
Did you know that Senate Democrats are demanding that more homeland security money be added to the president's supplemental war budget? Democratic leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) said, "This supplemental budget fails to reflect the reality of the home front," said Daschle. "States, cities and towns remain extremely vulnerable to terrorist attack and are ill-equipped to deal with this challenge." "When it comes to this administration and homeland security, we don't need any more rhetoric, we don't need any more photo ops; we need more dollars," said Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.).
Another scam he is a master of is that of the magician’s misdirection ploy. At first glance, isn’t it great he admitted that he is responsible for what he said, the so-called 16 words? When did he confess, and was it a heart wrenching scene of contrition, or a political ploy for votes? Why did he wait until after three people in his administration alternately took the fall? What does it say about the “honor and dignity” of 43?
Rove picked the perfect timing to reduce the coverage of his dunce protégé’s treachery. On July 30th, as he is preparing to head to his ranch in Texas for a month starting on August 2nd, Rove told the boy that he had to act like a grownup. He had to be presidential and admit that he lied in his most important address to the US, and the world, his State of the Union speech. Beside, there were no more patsies to serve up as the fall guy. The ruse was beginning to look stupid for even our least interested citizens to swallow! By talking about it now, he hopes that the boy can be immunized against it when the election arrives.
43 looked like Houdini wriggling out of a locked cage as he finessed this perfidy. Bush rejected criticism that he had exaggerated the urgency of going to war with Iraq even as he took responsibility for the first time for an assertion in his State of the Union address about Iraq’s nuclear weapons program. As everyone knew, this particular story turned out to be based on questionable intelligence. “I take personal responsibility for everything I say, of course,” Bush said. “I also take responsibility for making decisions on war and peace. And I analyzed a thorough body of intelligence, good, solid, sound intelligence that led me to come to the conclusion that it was necessary to remove Saddam Hussein from power.”
Notice that even in that contrived spin he backs away from Hussein being an imminent threat, the deceit that no one in the world community, except for Tony Blair, would agree to. With this clever, contrived deception those who were dazzled by his trickery could think he was a good man, who tried his best for them. The rest of the world can’t tolerate this pile of horse manure he is trying to masquerade as the truth.
Devotees of games of chance cover up. Ray McGovern chaired NIEs and prepared/briefed the President's Daily Brief during his 27-year career at CIA. He is co-founder of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity. He writes, “Sifting through the congressional report on 9/11, I was reminded of the President's Daily Brief item of August 6, 2001 titled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in US."
Isn’t that title clear enough for 43, the self proclaimed “leader of the free world who doesn’t do nuance”? He contin
