The Teutonic Twist

OK, so I want to understand this. Dubya hosts Gerhard Schroeder, who (in his good sense) did not support the Iraq War but does support the reconstruction (though that, to me, is a little like picking the pockets of people killed in a roadside traffic accident), and Dubya tries to build up Schroeder in the process in a tough election against an incumbent who actually DID support the war. Hmmm....

Apparently, Bushco has come to some sort of realization that it needs "old Europe" and our longtime allies to help bail us out of the mess that they created, and with that in mind, it's a good idea to support leaders they know from past experience (a rare moment of sanity for Bushco, assuming I'm right).

You would think the Bushco diehards would be screaming about a flip flop like this. Of course, they would be if this were Clinton (they'd be frothing at the mouth to the point where they might need an EMT, actually). But again, we're "living in the age of Bushco," unfortunately, where we're not supposed to ask too many questions and let the investor class do what they want while they await "the rapture".

This brings to mind a quote about politics (from an ironic source).
