John le Carré...
The man has a unique way of selecting words of great negative connotations and stringing them together in a way that tries to link Mr Bush to the the Worlds worst villains as though they were friends forever and just as rotten
Kindly inform John that Mr G.W.Bush was until 26 months ago the Governor of Texas and a somewhat reluctant candidate , was not connected to the any of the villains or related to any of the negative events
. Meaning he was not in Washington to participate in either the bad or the good results of the past
Mc Carthy Hearings
Forcing Russian missiles out of Cuba
Winning the cold war
Helping Israel by providing equipment that permitted them to save themselves from an attack by 3 armies.
Building and keeping a Military system in place that will be used to prevent terrorists from continuing to destroy our buildings, entire cities, governmental structures, or financial systems
I wonder how that fiction story would read if he replaced the word Bush with the word Gore, who came one whisker away from being elected.. ?

The latest from the English novelist John le Carré...

A wonderful piece. Fascinating read. Even if he did get Condelezza Rice's position during the 90s wrong.
