A French Revelation, or The Burning Bush
JAMES A. HAUGHT

Incredibly, President George W. Bush told French President Jacques Chirac in early 2003 that Iraq must be invaded to thwart Gog and Magog, the Bible's satanic agents of the Apocalypse.

Honest. This isn't a joke. The president of the United States, in a top-secret phone call to a major European ally, asked for French troops to join American soldiers in attacking Iraq as a mission from God.

Now out of office, Chirac recounts that the American leader appealed to their "common faith" (Christianity) and told him: "Gog and Magog are at work in the Middle East.... The biblical prophecies are being fulfilled.... This confrontation is willed by God, who wants to use this conflict to erase his people's enemies before a New Age begins."

This bizarre episode occurred while the White House was assembling its "coalition of the willing" to unleash the Iraq invasion. Chirac says he was boggled by Bush's call and "wondered how someone could be so superficial and fanatical in their beliefs."

After the 2003 call, the puzzled French leader didn't comply with Bush's request. Instead, his staff asked Thomas Romer, a theologian at the University of Lausanne, to analyze the weird appeal. Dr. Romer explained that the Old Testament book of Ezekiel contains two chapters (38 and 39) in which God rages against Gog and Magog, sinister and mysterious forces menacing Israel. Jehovah vows to smite them savagely, to "turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws," and slaughter them ruthlessly. In the New Testament, the mystical book of Revelation envisions Gog and Magog gathering nations for battle, "and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them."

In 2007, Dr. Romer recounted Bush's strange behavior in Lausanne University's review, Allez Savoir. A French-language Swiss newspaper, Le Matin Dimanche, printed a sarcastic account titled: "When President George W. Bush Saw the Prophesies of the Bible Coming to Pass." France's La Liberte likewise spoofed it under the headline "A Small Scoop on Bush, Chirac, God, Gog and Magog." But other news media missed the amazing report.

Subsequently, ex-President Chirac confirmed the nutty event in a long interview with French journalist Jean-Claude Maurice, who tells the tale in his new book, Si Vous le Répétez, Je Démentirai (If You Repeat it, I Will Deny), released in March by the publisher Plon.

Is he showing us the size of his weenie in that photo?

There are a lot of spending that can be cut in a short time:
1. Stop the wars
2. abolish part D medicare..until some one figures out how to pay for it.
3. Reduce the wages of all Federal employees, including the President's by 20 %.
4. Remove people from the dole who are not US citizens or legal residents.
5. Close military bases in rich countries such as Japan, Germany, England etc.
6. Reduce Government pay roll..too many people perhaps doing duplicate jobs.
7. Government employees, and congressmen should pay into social security and medicare.
8. Quit tying up the Federal courts with frivalous lawsuits, and spending money to imprison kids for a little marijuana possession or use.
8. Cut out fraud and fund mis-management.
9. Close secret prisons such as GITMO.
10, Spend on meaningful projects, that benefit people.

Don't get too excited with Orszag, he does not hold true with his own responsibilities like child support.

In 2002 Joseph Stiglitz and Peter Orszag (and brother) wrote a landmark paper arguing for the viability and soundness of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Their so-called hard analysis method was to put the companies through "millions of potential future scenarios," and then to judge the likelihood of default. The assumptions in the test were said to be "severe." Even so, the probability of a default was found to be "so small that it is difficult to detect." Some $111 billion in taxpayer-funded bailouts later, with perhaps up to $400 billion to go, the risks have been detected and the results are disasterous.

This is to highlight the falliability of economists. Whether it be conservative economists like Martin Feldstein to liberal ones Paul Krugman, these people only have an average ability to predict future results. The cover story on Orzag's concern about the deficit only shows he is following orders from his boss. Economics is not a predictive science because there are too many variables that come into play. Economics can only provide boundaries for likelihood of occurence. But the boundaries are wide and definitely should not be taken as the concrete gospel. All economists put their politcal and social bias into their results and then end up with the press believing it as the spoken truth. Orzag and fellow economist Christine Romer were big proponents of the $825 billion stimulus (it grew becasue of further increases in mandatory entitlements) on the belief that it would stimulate growth through a mysterious academic multiplier effect theory. It would limit unemployment at 8% and help us grow out of recession. We now know it is all wrong. There were too many transfer payments, too many pork projects and not enough permanent gowth ideas. It didn't take much to figure this was going to happen. If stimulus was good at $825 billion, then why not spend twice as much because with the multiplier you would get at least twice as much. Instead the $825 billion spent today will end up costing Americans closer to $1.5 trillion after all the debt is paid pay.

Orzag is the same clown who says and believes the health care program will save taxpayers money???? How do you at 30-40 million people and around $7,000 per person and save money? Duh!!

Now he is telling the to worry about the deficit. He also was aboard with the $8 billion throw away for high speed rail. Wit the cost of things you couldn't build 100 miles of track in the US for that. Instead it will all be wasted on studies, research and proposals. Sorry that does lower the deficit or create long-term jobs.

Government needs to:

1) shrink entitlements
2) reduce defined benefit pensions with cost of living increases
3) raise the retirement rate
4) demand pay of government assistance if the person eventually has the means
5) tax internet transactions
6) raise the gasoline tax
7) constitutional spending limit
8) term limits to eliminate pork barrel scammers like John Murtha

Of course nothing will be done because slimy and greasy Washington will pass some nonsense resolution and say the problem is solved. Spending has doubled in the past dozen years and taxes have risen almost as much except the past few years.People should demand accountability and demand a balanced budget ammendment.

World War II got use out! Roosevelt's policies perpetuated the depression. Peter GAGA is a meat whistle, and is showing his IQ!
