Bush Decides On "Operation Continuing Detroit Freedom"
With Congress deadlocked on a possible Detroit rescue plan, and the clock
ticking away, any rescue of Detroit will have to come from President Bush. It could be concluded that a high stakes, pressure packed, time sensitive situation would appeal to the self described "Decider". But instead of working on the Detroit issue, the President took the weekend off for a visit to Iraq. Still, criticism that Bush shirked his duty may be unjustified. He appears to have returned inspired by the Iraqi experience and ready to apply all he learned from it. As with all Bush programs, it must have an appealing name, one that will invoke feelings of country, accomplishment, and dedication to higher principles regardless of their relevancy to the task. "American Automakers Patriot Act" was rejected as appearing to unduly favor Chrysler, since it builds a model called the Jeep Patriot. Bush initially favored "One Nation Under Detroit" before deciding on "Operation Continuing Detroit Freedom". Bush expects to throw a huge amount of cash to Detroit. He will appoint General David Petreous as Car Czar to manage the cash surge. The President met privately on Tuesday with members of Congress known to oppose aid for Detroit. All, despite their previous opposition, bought Bush's explanation hook, line, and sinker, of the clear and imminent danger posed to Detroit by foreign automakers. "It was real easy for me to change my mind and support bailing out Detroit" said one Senator "after the President showed me clear evidence that Toyota, Nissan, and Honda are destroying Detroit with Weapons of Mass Production". |

The brits have decided to support Bush. They will be sending troops to attach all foreign factories in New Mexico. They will start by parachuting in some SAS men during the holidays and close down woolworths. Woolworths n the UK has already been used as practice for the exercise. Some planes since WWII will be used in order for a camoflage as being an airshow. During the movement of troops from england all rules of going through security checks will be lifted. The SAS guys will be traveling as ordinary tourists but bring bombs, knives, shoes etc to throw at people. Soles of shoes are considered the ultimate insult especially when wearing them at the same time. |

When US Marines toppled Saddam Hussein’s statue on Firdos Square in 2003, the assembled crowd whacked it with their shoes. Now they do the same to Bush and spit on him and all the US infidels This amounts to a huge defeat for the US and Bush in particular." "Hitting someone with a shoe is considered the supreme insult in Iraq. It means that the target is even lower than the shoe, which is always on the ground and dirty. Crowds hurled their shoes at the giant statue of Saddam that stood in Baghdad's Firdos Square before helping American marines pull it down on April 9, 2003, the day the capital fell. More recently in the same square, a far bigger crowd composed of Iraqis who had opposed the security agreement flung their shoes at an effigy of Bush before burning it." "Bush on the other hand has been referred to as Hitler, a genocidal murderer who approves of torture and has destroyed the Constitution and turned the US into a police state. Had BDS been reduced simply to pretzel jokes and his inarticulate use of English, I doubt the term BDS would ever been coined." |

One has to wonder how many were throwing shoes at Saddam or his statue while
he was alive? All you US haters may not agree but thanks to President Bush and the US military they now have the right to throw shoes and a lot more rights they never had before.

Could one conclude that the Republican Senate purposely put down the "bailout" bill so Bush could go out in glory saving Detroit, or at least 2 of the 3? In light of Madoff and Bla-what's his name, would not surprise me. -- Dave 2008 Focus , 5 spd no frills coupe- to date per fillup - 33 mpg low - 39 mpg high.

The question is can he... or anyone... save Detroit... assuming "save" means that within a few years they'll be unsubsidized profit making companies. (If "save" means subsidizing their losses forever, then of course than can be saved.) Having gotten responses from my Representative and one Senator to the **second** letter I sent them (still no response at all from the other Senator) I can say that at least these two have no knowledge of the car business (and perhaps no business knowledge at all). They don't acknowledge industry wide overcapacity, and just say we have to save the jobs. I have told them they need to pick one company and go with that. >In light of Madoff and Bla-what's his name, would not surprise me. As far as the congressional Republicans trying to help Bush, I think its important to keep in mind that this is a lame duck Congress, some aren't coming back in January, and some of can blame George for them losing their jobs. |

Both are scratching each other's backs in reality. You make it sound unusual by their appearances. How would you expect them to exhibit their actual motives? Bush will live in la-la land in Dallas, and, the ousted Repbulicans will get some cushy job in a big corporate office that they saved directly or indirectly with TARP. Life is tough. Just ask Madoff if in doubt -- Dave |
