Lockdown in Ramallah

George Bush visited Palestinian president Mohammed Abbas in Ramallah. So tight was security, it was as though the city were locked down in a prison during a riot. No one could open windows; no one could stand on balconies for a glimpse of heavily protected mini mouse Bush. 18Brumaire is tempted to say that Ramallah was a field as though cleared for war.
Blockhead Bush was in true form, and ever the optimist. His aging bones told him that before the end of his presidency, he would live to see a peace accord between Israel and Palestine, and sotto voce, if the Palestinians acquiesed to Israeli demands.
Dummy Bush has that gift, be it from God?, that he sees in the hearts and minds of men. Look at his feeling on Vladimir Putin into whose eyes dyslexic Bush read good things. And look at the bad blood Bush has with Putin today. See how bubblehead Bush pumped up the reputation of the tin horn general Mushareff of Pakistan, and see what the mess his old friend Pervez has made of fighting Islamic terrorists. The record of good intentions paving Bush's road to hell, is there for everyone to see.
Herr Bush didn't skip a beat in warning Iran for its adverturesome taunting of American warships. Teheran may play with fire but this week more classified documents have come out in Washington about how Lydon Baines Johnson's White House cooked the books on the incursion in the Bay of Tonkin, thereby allowing the US to pursue a non declared and losing war in Vietnam. Doltish Bush fabricated a war in Iraq, so the odds are more than even that he might prove more foolhardy than ever in making a strike against Iran?
As for his predictions on a peace treaty between Tel Aviv and Ramallah, it would be a victors peace, the more especially the Palestinians are deeply divied, and Bush and Omert will not deal with Hamas, nor will they pull up illegal settlements in what the Israeli call Judea and Sumaria...what a piece of historical hokey!. In Abbas, they've a strawman. Had he any guts, he would send the lying and hawkish pair packing. After 40 years, and in spite of Israel carving up occupied Palestine, Tel Aviv has not quenched the age old thirst for Palestinian independence nor the creation of a national homeland.
