Doug, Re: Either Bill Safire has lost faith or his check from Karl Rove did not come this month. I see this completely differently. Safire's comments are very useful to a White House that is intent on controlling Bush's image among the public. While the Left insists, correctly, that Bush is a wild-eyed lunatic right wing fringe nutcase, Safire is being used here to bamboozle the reading public into thinking that Bush is a reasonable and moderate centrist. Of course, this is total BS. But Safire would have his audience chomping at the bit for a more rabidly xenophobic response from el Presidente Corrupto. Very much along the same lines we had the phony C.I.A. campaign that was waged over 2004 by a duplicitous agent named Michael Schneur. At first, he produced an "anonymous" book called "Imperial Hubris", which chastised the Administration for laxness in the fight on terrorism. Then Schneur seamlessly morphed from a anonymous whistleblower into a very public blowhard on CBS's 60 Minutes, arguing that Bush was being far too meek in his attack on Muslim fundamentalists. Does this sound like Richard Perle and Bill Kristol's wet dream of full-on assault of all Israel's enemies? Of course it does. Beware the frauds who are propagandizing you. They are a very clever lot. And they have one primary goal in mind. Greater Israel. Did Safire mention that Israel is currently locked in a huge battle with Vladimir Putin over the treatment of the rapacious "oligarchs", several of whom have sought expensive "asylum" in Israel, after a decade of raping the Russian treasury? No? May I suggest that reading between the lines is a good skill to develop?
