How the Bush Administration Is Blowing It in Iraq and Elsewhere

Misjudgments Marred U.S. Plans for Iraqi Police
By MICHAEL MOSS and DAVID ROHDE
The Iraqi police are a battered and dysfunctional force
that has helped bring the country to the brink of civil war.

What a mess the Bush administration has created in Iraq! Needless to say we have been constantly lied to about the state of disorder in Iraq by Rumsfeld since he initially reported that the chaos of looting immediately after our troops arrived at Baghdad was a not to worry item.

Manifestly Bush has not a clue about how foreign affairs should be run -- it is not a frat boy system out there. And Rice running around like the energizer bunny is not going to solve much in the way either of restoring respect for the U.S. now seen as the torturer nation, nor is it going to bring order out of the chaos that has been created in Iraq.

How ironic that Hugo and Muammar have now become good friends -- ready to corner the oil markets between them.

Personally, with a potential economic crash in our near future, I have never seen the U.S. so badly managed as by its current CEO and Co. Says something perhaps about the incompetence of current corporate America?

Help!
