The Bush administration is at it again. They have changed their position 180 degrees and now claim it was what they've been doing all along. He obviously thinks that all 300 million Americans are complete idiots - not just the 20% to 30% who still believe him when he speaks.
The administration, through Condoleeza Rice, is now saying they are willing to sit down and talk with Iran and Syria about trying to find a solution to the mess Bush has created in Iraq. They then said their willingness to take part in these talks was not a change of policy. White House counselor Dan Bartlett said, "We've always been inclined to participate in an Iraqi-led conference."
Bullshit! I can't be the only one that remembers Bush telling the world that Iran and Iraq were supporters of our enemies, and he would not engage in talks with them. He told us that he would not talk with Syria until they stopped supporting Hezbollah and Hamas. He told us that he would not talk with Iran unless they stopped enriching uranium.
Well, Iran has snubbed its nose at the world and is still enriching uranium. Syria has not stopped its support of Hezbollah and Hamas. So why has Bush done a complete flip-flop? Why is he now willing to join Syria and Iran in talks about the Iraqi situation?
Simple. The talks were going to happen whether he joined them or not. And if by chance the talks went on without him and a solution was found, Bush would look like an even bigger fool than he already does. He could not afford to take that chance.
But Bush is not serious about using these talks to find a solution. If you think he is, then please contact me - I have some ocean-front property here in the Texas panhandle I know you'd be interested in.
Bush has joined the talks because that's the only way he can be sure they'll not produce a solution. He'll hem and haw and throw a few wrenches in the gears, and then blame the failure of the talks on Iran and Syria. He cares far more about saving face than saving lives.
This whole thing is just more B.S. from the Bush administration.
