Bush is crap, says Prescott

Deputy PM criticises US handling of Middle East, condemning 'cowboy' President at private meeting

Many papers have published this alleged comment by Prescott. e.g "The Independent", 17th August.

On July 31 I said here "I had always thought of Prescott as sounding like what I would have expected a Labour Party Prime Minister to be like". His alleged comment does fit in with this idea. Of Harold Wilson, a previous UK Prime Minister, it had been apparently alleged that the American CIA had set up a plot to depose him and replace him, crazily, with Lord Mountbatten!

I stand aghast of the folly already perpetrated everywhere. One example : The apparently needless bombing by Israel of Lebanese oil refineries, causing some say the largest oil spill since the Esso (or Exxon) Valdez.

"The War on Lebanon and the Battle for Oil" by Michel Chossudovsky suggests "Israel has a stake in the Azeri oil fields, from which it imports some twenty percent of its oil. The opening of the (Ceyhan-Tblisi-Baku or (BTC) ) pipeline will substantially enhance Israeli oil imports from the Caspian sea basin. But there is another dimension which directly relates to the war on Lebanon. Whereas Russia has been weakened, Israel is slated to play a major strategic role in "protecting" the Eastern Mediterranean transport and pipeline corridors out of Ceyhan." There are many other matters touched on in the article including the rerouting of 'Russian' oil to Asia through Israel and the use of water from the Tigris and Euphrates rivers to supply Israel. So there certainly do seem to be some geopolitical reasons for Bush wanting to use EU citizens and Malaysians to act as cannon-fodder for Israeli imperialism and the destruction of Islam.

In Seller and Yeatman '1066 and all that' terms, "Is it all a Good Thing or a Bad Thing?" Well, the idea of allowing a major and known intentional polluter like Israel involvement with oil in any way sounds like a very bad thing. Maybe Bush's stooges in Europe and Malaysia should bear this in mind. Just a thought.
