Results matter?

Paul Lukasiak, a Philadelphia reporter, after four months of research on the mass of documents released about Bush’s military experience, now claims that not only did Bush not fulfill his obligations, he actively tried to avoid them. He also claims that the Air Force attempted to punish Bush but political pressure prevented them from doing so. This has, of course, never been mentioned in the mainstream press. This is reported by Bernard Weiner in The Crisis Papers and was posted on The Smirking Chimp today.

The three phrases you will hear repeated over and over again by Bush in his current stump speech:
“turning the corner”
“results matter”
“we’re not going back”

It is by no means clear what corner we are turning – certainly not in the “war” in Iraq, and the economy doesn’t seem to be doing too well either.

As Bush/Cheney have no positive results, the only results that matter are all negative.

It would seem to be true that “we’re not going back” – to a sensible economic policy, a sensible foreign policy. a sensible environmental policy, or a sensible policy on anything else.

Ray McGovern, who was a CIA analyst for 27 years, writes in Buzzflash that the situation in Iraq has gone “from mayhem to bedlam.” Look it up.
