While no one has ever accused George Bush of making decisions within a strong cognitive framework, his comments in his farewell address were just too much to bear.
He said:
Murdering the innocent to advance an ideology is wrong every time, everywhere. Freeing people from oppression and despair is eternally right. This Nation must continue to speak out for justice and truth. We must always be willing to act in their defense and to advance the cause of peace.
He says this the same day that Israel bombs a UN Humanitarian depot in Gaza, and while the EU and the UN all condemned it, all the United States did was have a chat with the Israelis. What oppression, what despair is anyone being freed from here? The UN is almost the only source for relief aid currently in Gaza. Hundreds of pounds of food and potable water were destroyed in this bombing. Do the Palestinians not count as oppressed people? Do they not feel despair?
