The Nation

Mon Aug 6, 2:50 PM ET

The Nation -- Things got a little testy at the Camp David Summit
between Afghan President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan and American
President George Bush.

Karzai, who when he is in the U.S. is expected to act as a puppet of
the Bush administration, made the mistake of actually speaking his
mind. In a CNN interview broadcast Sunday, the Afghan president said
terrorism in Afghanistan is getting worse, that the hunt for al-Qaeda
leader Osama bin Laden is at a standstill and, then, he described Iran
as a positive player -- "a helper and a solution" -- in the region.

All of these statements are objectively true.

But George Bush does not deal in the realm of truth. And he certainly
does not like his puppet presidents getting off their strings.

On the eve of the summit, Karzai told CNN that:

1. "The security situation in Afghanistan over the past two years has
definitely deteriorated. The Afghan people have suffered. Terrorists
have killed our schoolchildren. They have burned our schools. They
have killed international helpers."

2. "We are not closer (to catching bin Laden), we are not further away
from it. We are where we were a few years ago."

3. "So far, Iran has been a helper (in the fight against terrorism)."

All of those statements, made by Karzai in an interview with Wolf
Blitzer on the eve of his trip to Camp David, were corrected by Bush
upon the Afghan president's arrival.

On the security situation, Bush told Karzai not to believe what he was
seeing on the ground in Afghanistan. "There is still work to be done,
don't get me wrong," Bush said. "But progress is being made."

On the bin Laden search, Bush spoke of how the hunt is progressing and
declared that, "With real actionable intelligence, we will get the job
done."

On Iran's positive role in the region, Bush again told Karzai not to
believe his own experience but instead to accept the neoconservative
version of events. "I would be very cautious about whether or not the
Iranian influence there in Afghanistan is a positive force," the
American president pointedly told the Afghan president.

So there you have it, a meeting of the minds Bush-style.

A foreign leader from a region of supreme interest to the United
States comes to Camp David to brief the American president on what is
going on. The foreign leader speaks his mind, offering his best
assessment of the experience he is living. Then the president tells
the visitor from abroad that he is wrong.

As Bush famously declared at a policy session in 2005, "See, in my
line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over
again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda."

And it is just so damned inconvenient when a puppet who is supposed to
help spread the propaganda instead messes everything up by talking
about what is really happening.

Now, Wally, THAT WAS interesting reading! LOL! I laughed and laughed my
damned ***** off!!
I think that news story neatly sums up just what an insufferably assinine,
sick, deluded, lying leadership the US now suffers under.
Yes sireee!
Truth about life under the Apes in America's banana-sucking, tire-swinging
executive branch -- all in that Yahoo story!
One need not read any further.
America is in incredibly deep *****.
Morally, politically, militarily, socially...in every facet of our
existence.
Now...let's go back to the 'bridge collapse' and dwell on that failure.
It's of such extreme importance in our 'collapsing' civilization.
LOL!
Doc :))~
