The Bush Administration is Not Incompetent

Many of us have wondered how the Bush gang could be so stupid. Starting two losing wars that are only going to increase terrorism and destroy world peace. Implementing economic policies (massive tax cuts for corporations and the super-rich, while fighting two expensive, losing wars) that will bankrupt the country and plunge the world into a depression. How could they be so stupid? The incompetence is so massive and incomprehensible, you can only conclude that it is deliberate. They are trying to bankrupt the US and plunge the world into war.

Kurt Nimmo today said as much:

[I]f Bush and the Israelis attack Iran, there will be hell to pay and large swaths of the Middle East will erupt in flames. I believe this is precisely what the Strausscons and the Likudites want—chaos, ethnic strife, endless suicide and car bombs, the current situation in Iraq magnified and spread across the Arab and Muslim Middle East. If Saudi Arabia catches fire—and you bet it will if Iran and in turn Lebanon explode—this will serve as an ideal pretext to seriously launch the Likudite-Strausscon version of World War IV and thus mobilize a sleepy American public, tired of war and terrorism (Strausscons call this a lack of “stomach"). Another “terrorist event” to rival September 11, 2001, blamed on Iran or Shia terrorists, would go a long way to mobilizing public sentiment, as did the sinking of the Maine, the Lusitania, the attack on Pearl Harbor, and the bogus attack in the Gulf of Tonkin.

Not only that, but the economic devastation will solve the US military’s recruiting problems. That must be how they think they can invade Syria and Iran when they already don’t have enough troops to secure Iraq and Afghanistan.
