#1 All of the above, as Steve W. notes, as well as this may be the month when it dawns on everyone that Iraq is poised to replace KSA as the center of SW Asia/Middle East - its historic role going back millenia.

Look for more play on the respective production and reserve graphs for KSA and Iraq, as well as peripheral diplomatic developments (Dubai is one of basically 3 finalists for the 2016 olympics - be timely to recognize Israel, no?) and wonder how it all happened? Must be Obamaticipation!

#2 Radical islam awaits its anti-US HIDDEN IMAM-MAHDI, so does AFRICA + ASIA + AMERICAS in their turn [new generation].

AFAIK IRAN IS GETTING ITS WAY 2008-2012 AND SUNSPOT CYCLE "24" IS STILL RUNNING LATE!

#3 Yet the most right-wing president in recent memory...

The writer must have not been an adult before '92 if he's relying upon his memory. I'm old enough to remember Ronald Reagan. He was certainly more 'conservative' than Georgie. George is a 60's liberal by comparison. Kennedy tax cut, Bush tax cut. Kennedy strong on defense [for a Donk], Bush strong on defense.

After we Boomers die off and the cynical Y'ers get to write the history, I'd like to see the 'revisionist' stories that'll be around.

#4 But look at what Bush is doing with Africa, India, Iraq, Afghanistan and the Pacific Rim, and you see a long-term strategy that promotes personal liberty, economic freedom and democratic government. That's in the interests of all those countries, and not so coincidentally, it's in ours as well.

Bah! Just window dressing Steve, nothing to see here, move along.
Bad Bush!
Bad Bush!

#5 First India, now Africa. Which will be the next backwater to better understand Bush than the country that elected him?

When Bush dies the MSM flip-flops at his funeral will be even greater than those at Reagan's.

#6 He can't die, he made a pact with the devil. Immortality and all the canned corned beef he can eat for his soul.

#8 Just wait for the moonbat spin. it is all those mouths in Africa that are causing the food price crises. It is the Indians prosperity creating demand and causing oil prices to go up. It's all Bush's FAULT!

#9 I never did get an answer on whether he was a Retarded Monkey Boy or an Evil Genius With A Diabolical Plan for World Domination.
I think they're still discussing it over at Kos...

#10 The growing consensus I'm detecting from those suffering BDS is the former category with him as Dick Chaney's, of the latter category, sock puppet. That's how they can fit it into their model of the universe.

#11 Well I wish they'd make up their minds, cause you can either be an incredibly devious, evil genius, OR a total r-tard. But not both at the same time.
