Bush’s Mad-dash to History’s Dustbin

MIKE WHITNEY

...The rumors in the Times suggest that Bush is snuggling up to his new throat-slitting buddy who runs the Iranian-trained, death squads, Abdel Aziz al-Hakim. Al-Hakim is the slipperiest guy in all of Baghdad and oversees the most feared militia in Iraq, the Badr Brigade. You’ve probably seen their handiwork in the form of the mutilated young Sunnis bobbing along the Euphrates after being tortured and shot gangland-style in the back of the head. That’s our new soul-mate, al Hakim. Sounds like Bush’s kind-a guy. In fact, Bush refers to him as "His Eminence" (I kid you not) and gave him the "red carpet" treatment when he paid a visit to the White House last week. Does Bush really think he can out maneuver this guy? You can’t put-one-over on a thug like al Hakim. Guys like al-Hakim invented treachery, Bush is just a novice. He'll use Bush until all of his enemies are removed and then he’ll start to work on the occupation. Anyone can see that...
