Reasons Why Bush Is the Third anti-Christ and His Reign as President is More Harmful to America Than an Outbreak of the Bird Flu Epidemic.

In examining George W. Bush and his family’s pursuit of power and imperialism my research has found the factors of family bias, special interests, and foreign grudges that the Bushes, 1 and 2, have brought to the White House. Are the reasons yielding dire consequences such as 9/11 and an explosion terrorist activity, and panic among the American people about national security. Bush administration has skewed into a reason, that the public would agree with, to attack the Middle East for its oil. In unveiling this sad truth that the spreading of freedom and democracy in the Middle East as a cover story for the real objective: oil. Through highlighting the associations, ambitions and practices- I have found the underlying truths about why we are actually in Iraq.

Throughout history, wars have rarely been fought for the reasons politicians use to sell them to the public. Both Bush presidents have brought their financial and business agendas to the Oval Office; oil ventures, national security, sophisticated investments and arms deals. Even the born- again George W. Bush won’t say no to investment dollars from oil sheikhs. Few Americans realize the extent to which both desert storm of Bush 1 and Iraq of Bush 2 drip petroleum. Like all wars of the 20th century including the current war, oil has been a big reason to attack Asia and the Middle East other wise coined as the Axis of Evil by Bush 2.

In many cases, the United States government has always been involved in arming enemy nations. Some of these countries are Iraq- Iran, Saudi Arabia, and China- Taiwan. The most famous rogue leader of the ‘90s Saddam was a frequent customer with a country full of oil to use as a credit card. Usually the customer country i.e. Iraq, will make purchases under the conditions that there will be a transfer of technology so that they can manufacture the item themselves and their allies. This resulted in the proliferation of not only weapons but also of new technology. So to go after Iraq for WMDs is not only hypocritical of American values it will also have dire consequences for the security of our nation and peace in the Middle East. This may be one reason among many that the UN does not support the United States and England

Petroleum is just as important to the Axis of Evil as it is to America and Britain. The reliance on oil rather than coal power makes oil an important war resource. Since 2000, the U.S. oil importation has gone form 30% in 1980’s to 50% in just 2 decades. There won’t be a real alternative to oil until 2030. We are feeling the crunch of the increased consumption of oil. Why do you think the oil companies such as Amoco and Conoco are running TV commercials advertising to the American people decrease energy consumption lately? Unfortunately now the oil industry is overwhelmingly Republican, in other words, the GOP White House of the Bush- Cheney regime is now filled oilmen. In just months after Bush’s inauguration, Cheney’s energy task force predicted that oil production in the U.S. would decline and importation would provide nearly two thirds of our oil. Interests have focused on the Middle East because the region is predicted to produce half the world’s oil exports by 2020. Saudi Arabia has 262 billion barrels of oil. Iraq comes in 2nd place with 120 billion, possibly more, barrels of oil.

A report in 2000 called Project for a New American Century called for the take over of Iraq as part of an oil- minded strategy. George W. Bush in 2003 was the first U.S. president to renew hostility with Saddam since his father. This sort of association is self- explanatory because of the following evidence. The inherited grudges help to explain some of the new U.S. geopolitics that emerged due to the Project for a New American Century that started to emerge in 2001.

Why when terrorists from Islamic extremist group Al Qaeda that is based out of Afghanistan struck the WTC in 2001 was Donald Rumsfeld was a supporter of making Iraq an immediate target? While logic insisted that Afghanistan and Osama bin Ladin came first by 2002, with bin Ladin hiding the Bush administration’s fingers were pointed at Saddam Hussein. The public watched clue lesslly as Bush officials beat their war drums. We must strike Iraq because it is connected to Al Qaeda, and Saddam has an arsenal of weapons of mass destruction that he could be supplying to terrorist groups. The public however must have believed the administration because of how the major news channels CNN, CBS, and Fox News were portraying what the administration would allow. I remember a CBS poll from April in 2003 said like 53% of the public believed that Saddam was personally involved in the 9/11 attacks. As of late we now find out that the ‘Bush intelligence’, that’s almost funny, had different information than what they used to justify war and if the people and congress (pretty much everyone not involved in the oil scandal), knew the real deal, they wouldn’t have voted to go to war in Iraq.

Furthermore, this second Middle East agenda was, “staying the course”(a Bushism), was following a dangerously similar course to that of his fathers: lack of presidential clarity and candor about the purpose for which the war was being fought. The elder Bush like son, labeled Saddam as their main target. March 2003, Dana Milbank of the Washington Post, combined both Bush war speeches and reported close repetitions in Bush the 2nd’s speech of his fathers themes and even phraseology: to wit, pledging as short as possible stay in Iraq, viewing the war as an opportunity to settle regional conflicts, describing Saddam’s regime as “a nightmare”, and invoking the universal desire for freedom and democracy.

George Junior’s reasons for war are: Iraq’s complicity with terrorists and possession of WMD’s, the sheer evil of Saddam Hussein, and the importance of forcing democracy upon the people of Iraq and the Middle East. Both reasons one and two were falsified in the past couple of years. Now congressmen like Murtha are calling for a swift withdrawal of troops from Iraq citing the failure of the new Iraq government to battle insurgents. The Bush administration is not responding to the lowest approval ratings of his presidency and the publics growing disapproval of his politics. Again and again as we struggle to find a justification for George W.’s political mechanisms and more and more of the truth is being discovered, the bigger the case against the Bush dynasty’s real concern in Iraq.

Therefore, in my concluding statements, oil just had to be a factor in the Bush White House geopolitical strategy because even if the motivation was less about short- term U.S. oil supplies and more about geopolitical power. Washington’s ambitions had to be controlling the global flow of oil without competition from rivals such as the European Union and China. Now they are focusing on Iran for its oil saying they have a nuclear program, North Korea because it is said to be developing a nuclear program, and China which by 2015 according to CIA estimates, three- quarters of the Gulf’s oil will go to Asia primarily to China which is set to over take America as the largest global power. Not long after Bush won the 2000 election made his family the first real American dynasty in presidential politics things started going down hill. The 9/11 crisis and the plummeting economy and dollar value it is safe to say the Bush reign as president can be considered a total failure. In which the only things that could be considered successful are the capture of Saddam and the slaughter of nearly 2,000 of our boys over oil. Is it possible to over look this pattern of Bush bullshit? I didn’t think so.
