The Diplomacy of George W. Bush - designed for failure

[ChairmanAgnostic]

This Administration sought and actively pursued a revolution in Venezuela - and failed. Its efforts at diplomacy eventually failed when the last of US troops and agents connected with our embassy were forced to leave the country. And today, Chavez avoids small planes at all costs.

The Administration was contacted by Iran after 9/11. They offered logistics, intel, and even prisoners which included high ranking Al Qaida escaping from Afghanistan. WE turned them down.

The Administration pretended to negotiate with Saddam Hussien, all the time changing the rules, the position and making it impossible for Iraq to seek a peaceful resolution to a conflict created by Bush and his cronies.

The Administration now pretends to "negotiate with Iran" again, a conflict created by the Bush cronies, all with an eye at starting a war. There is absolutely no rhyme nor reason to our positions, our threats and our actions at the border and even within their country. Negotiation along these lines is nothing more than an exercise in domestic PR with no intention of succeeding.

It is painfully obvious when you sit back and consider the following: John Bolton is the UN rep for our country? Condi Rice is the Secretary of State? And Karen Hughes is out there 'improving' our image? Only a fool would actually believe that they were serious about any diplomatic success. Add to that the connections between AIPAC and the Administration. Congress does not involve itself in policy: Rabid Israel supporters have hijacked that from our hands. To our detriment. In fact, most of them are too rabid for Israeli politics, if Israeli papers are to be believed.

In all things foreign, our policies were doomed to failure because that was the intent.

It is curious that we did not take note of this earlier. All the signs were there. Because in all domestic affairs, the same approach was applied.
A Uniter? He created the most divided congress in history since the Civil war. A decider? Ah yes, forget about the constitution. We don't need it because the president can decide things for us.

Failure - thy name is Bush.
