Here’s another instance of President Bush’s foreign policy success, one of hundreds and thousands that you don’t hear repeated ad nauseum in the old media.
It seems Hugo Chavez, backer of the terrorist organization FARC, has asked them to give up and join society. See, fighting a guerilla warfare with terror tactics and kidnappings in the jungles of Central America just isn’t as effective as it used to be (when a diferent president was in the White House.)

Who knows if Chavez is sincere? Recently, he was caught red-handed meddling with FARC, and slapped soundly by the president of Colombia and the free world. Recently, he’s been changing his foreign policy in the face of these developments and the iron will of President Uribe and his Colombian people, as well as the super states that back him, such as the USA, under President Bush’s leadership. So it certainly seems he is sincere.
When all is said and done, President Bush is going to go down in history as the most effective president in the history of the US. He has had more victories on more fronts than anyone, even FDR and Truman. He has not only governed during the topsy-turvy economic crises of the new millenium, but he has done so recording the lowest unemployment rates and longest periods of sustained growth in our history. He has pulled of miracle after miracle, including stopping the seeming incessant terrorist actions against US interests across the world, something that Carter, Reagan, Bush 41, and Clinton could not do, and he has brought democracy to two Middle Eastern countries, one which people from across the world thought would never abandon their tribal culture and accept a national government at all.
Unfortunately, reality has very little to do with people suffering from Bush Derangement Syndrome (BDS). And so each victory is either ignored or contorted into a loss somehow. All the while, the invent lie after lie after lie, and have seemingly convinced a good chunk of the population that it is Bush that lies and they are as honest as Washington was when he chopped down the cherry tree.
Of course, as we know from experience you can’t convince people of a lie very long. Eventually, you get found out. Hopefully we as a country will come out of the haze of this fabricated reality in time for the November elections.
