Aaron David Miller's book The Much Too Promised Land contains
this unbelievable description of Bill Clinton. Miller served under Colin Powell as a senior adviser on the Middle East, and he writes that according to a "senior" Bush official, when Bush came into office in 2000, "he thought the former president was
'Satan's finger on earth…'" And Bush thereby determined to do everything in the opposite way, including abandoning the peace process.

Some fundamentalist Christians regard Bush as a Satan worshiper; this article being an example of the genre:

The Masonic cult which laid out the capital's street grid included an inverted pentagram, with the White House forming the inverted point of it.

Likely they're ALL on Lucifer's payroll. Bush's "Satan's finger" remark probably related to Clinton's Peyronie's disease, so vividly described by Paula Jones in her deposition.

All too convenient to blame Bush's pathology and treason on his evangelical beliefs, instead of loyalty to his particular clan's financial and political allies.
'abandoning the peace process'?
There was no peace process to begin with, so how could it be abandoned?
Instead, variations on a theme of misrepresentation. After the election, more of the same.
And there are two other explanationd for the so-called Lucifer sign.
(1) Hand symbol for the University of Texas Longhorns.
(2) Sign language symbol for Love.
If Clinton is Satan's finger, what part of the devil's anatomy is reserved for Bush himself?
I know you think the difference between Clinton and Bush is by degree rather than kind – that they simply sit on discrete points on an axis of evil – but Bush really does seem to believe all that religious guff ('Satan' indeed, this from the leader of the free fucking world?!) whereas it's impossible to believe that Clinton has any mystical feelings at all.
It is the difference of the crackpot fanatic and the cynical realist, and that is a difference of kind. Dangers abound with both types but I know which I would rather have (if I couldn't have someone sensible like Ron Paul or Dennis Kucinich) at the controls.
Clinton was a pretty poor president given the advantages he had. Like Tony Blair, his mettle proved weaker than his rhetoric. That Bush makes him look halfway acceptable just demonstrates the depths he has plumbed.
And the Bush families own history proves they are the devils asshole.
Nonsense. Anyone remember back when Bush Sr. was Vice President and a little thing called Iran-Contra occurred? Remember under whose nose the Iran-Contra drug aircraft were flying? Hint: They were landing in Mena, Arkansas.
Perchance Boosh was looking in the mirror when he said this

there was a very active peace process in the middle east during the clinton years. violence was at the lowest levels since before the troubles started. don't be a ditto-head. it kills children.

john macCain…
a man of the people?
In the fall of 1967, Navy pilot John McCain was routinely bombing Hanoi from an aircraft carrier in the South China Sea. On October 26, he was trying to level a power plant in a heavily populated area when a surface-to-air missile knocked a wing off his jet. Banged-up John McCain and what was left of plane splashed into Truc Bach Lake.
A compassionate Vietnamese civilian left his air raid shelter and swam out to McCain. McCain’s arm and leg were fractured and he was tangled up in his parachute underwater. He was drowning. The Vietnamese man saved McCain’s sorry ass, and yet McCain has nothing but hatred for “the gooks” who allegedly tortured him. As he told reporters on his campaign bus (The Straight Talk Express) in 2000, “I will hate them as long as I live.” (1)
is this true?
i wonder if the press can help us make up our minds.
you know, this question was once upon a time asked of one man, but can there be a more apropos question for our age?
I think it was Pontius Pilate that asked that question.
what is truth?
the press gives us truth divided in the form of silence, by parts.
questions, questions, questions.
Pot….kettle….black…

a very active peace process?
Ah yes. Camp David and Barak and the whole ludicrous shebang, which countless lobotmised bottom rung hasbara merchants peddle endlessly on the web. Complemented from the top by the mendacious Dennis Ross.
The concept of a peace process sui generis in which an occupying power deigns to dictate terms to a subject people, egged on by various superpowers, is ludicrous.
Lies, lies, lies.
Projection,anybody?
To our own detriment, I truly hope you all receive your gift of President Obama. I will eet you back here in three years and see if the sheep are still grazing on the cursory growth this man has begun to sew.
