Hot Air Bush

Today I was all geared up to pull apart Bush's state of the union address, but it said very little. It looks like he has woken up to the fact that pollution does cause global warming ( with a 20% cut in petrol consumption by 2017) although there is an ulterior motive.
Quote
"For too long our nation has been dependent on foreign oil, and this dependence leaves us more vulnerable to hostile regimes, and to terrorists - who could cause huge disruptions of oil shipments... raise the price of oil... and do great harm to our economy."

The previous quote shows that the U.S.A. realises it can not just invade a country for oil supplies or to turn around the currency in which oil is traded, using some made up story about weapons of mass destruction
I loved the way he opened the speech with how he was the first to say "madam speaker" there's that got to be first, strongest or best mentality again.

Oh yes Iran and Syria should keep on their toes with Bush's ominous words "as we enter 2007 with large endeavours under way and other that are ours to begin"

In the U.K. it looks like Tony Blair is feeling uncomfortable about his misjudgement to invade Iraq. He's not even turning up to a high profile debate in the house of commons choosing to go to a business conference instead. Seeing as we live in a democracy, MPs will not be able to vote on a change of policy in Iraq.
Here's another quote showing what a democracy the U.K. is:
"Mr Blair has promised to make a statement to the Commons on the situation in Iraq once he has assessed the success of the Army's Operation Sinbad in Basra."
I would like to know what qualifications Blair has to make such a far reaching decision. Oh yes I remember, he has an "ology" in American president butt licking!

Bush declared mad

Bush's detachment form the real world was confirmed when he announced 4,000 troops will be sent to the Anbar province. What was once one of the most prosperous provinces It is now the most violent region in Iraq. Covering an area of 140,000 square kilometres and a population of of 1.2 million. America has left it with no infrastructure and displaced and killed 10,000's of civilians. It has blown up shops and nearly 40% of schools are "out of order" so exactly what are 4,00 troops going to do?
