BushCo went into G8 with everything going against them. They could not drum up support for their imperial war plans at home by painting it as a noble enterprise worth dying for, and they desperately need the support of the "coalition of the willing" which has proven itself to be less and less willing to serve as cannon fodder for the MIC. The UK had recently announced plans to pull troops out of Iraq and put them in Afghantistan. Not good if you're waging a campaign to "democratize" the heathens at gunpoint. Ouch!

The Live8 concerts were a huge success and raised awareness of the cavalier attitude the wealthy nations of the world harbor for the oppressed and downtrodden. Why should we care about Africa when the areas in distress have no resources we want?

Tony and Georgie have been duking it out in the press for the past few weeks. Tony needs to save his sorry Poodle ass by finally appearing sympathetic to concerns of his constituents: environment, poverty relief, AIDS awareness and alleviation of crushing poverty and other issues which Bushco adamantly oppose because they address the concerns of about 95% of the world's population.

If I was not initially inclined to think this way, I think the commentators on FoxNews cemented it for me today when they claimed the tragedy in London was a boon for the US, putting terra back on the front pages where it belongs. They speak the unspeakable out loud and dare to portray their inhuman bloodlust as an expression of patriotism and the Bushcho rape-torture-and-pillage strategy as compassionate.
