Bush has given the Dems plenty of ammunition. I'd expect Congress to change parties next year but it's too early to know. By this time next year the energy investigations ought to have uncovered scandals worse than Watergate, and a cover-up that's just as bad too. Cheney may be a dead duck by then but can always bow out gracefully for "health reasons". A lot will depend on the GOP PR machine, whether it can overcome obvious crimes to sugar-coat their GW. So far I am amazed so many people buy this guy, though of couse he did lose the popular election despite all his campaign lies and his peoples' energy crisis manipulations. One thing GW has going for him is a record amount of soft money, including probably lots of offshore funds and energy company private financial help, as well as a lot of spooky powers inherited from his dad's world,which might do anything to keep him afloat. That includes friends with OPEC, Ollie North world and the "intellignce community". If Bush is down in the polls, inventing a war to fight wouldn't even surprise me. After all the US military does like to practice once in awhile and war is good business for Bush's backers. Halliburton's Brown+Root built most of the infrastructure for the Vietnam War, remember? Not to mention Bectel and George Schultz was the first one to offer GW money to run against Ane Richards. Lots of money. All private too as Bectel is a private corporation (Bohemian Grove is their dominion). To the conspiracy freaks out there how about this one? Did Bush Sr. knowing he was unpopular with the voters invite Saddam into Kuwait as Saddam later charged? By giving signals we'd look the other way? Sounds crazy I know but that war almost kept him in office. Almost. And created a massiveamount of power with OPEC for the Bush-Cheney-Powell team. Bush might have won with that war except for the fact he was a weak elitist president and inherited all the debts of the Reagan administration which he never was able to pay off and turn around. Another one which is I wonder about is why and how Carter's hostage rescue mission could have failed so miserably. Would the right-wing of the CIA go that far to ruin a Democrat president? Or The Bay Of Pigs, same deal. Not to mention Dallas. You know they withheld the hostage release for Reagan until the election was over. That really hurt Carter. The October Surprise. And I wonder about the role Bush-Reagan friend Adnan Khashoggi played. Remember he was at the center the Irangate Ollie North scandal. Now after eight years of near bankruptcy I hear he is back big-time doing deals with the Bushites and Saudis. Could he have been a middleman in the energy price hikes of summer 2000? Just a question not a statement. But it begs investigation and an answer. Just food for speculation.
