excerpted from:Diplomacy could define end of Bush’s term - USATODAY.com
Bush’s moves recall Reagan in 1986 after his administration was damaged by revelations it secretly sold weapons to Iran and used the money to fund anti-communist guerrillas in Nicaragua. Weakened by the Iran-contra scandal, Reagan shuffled his Cabinet and intensified arms-control talks with the Soviet Union.
Foreign policy experts say they see a new pragmatism in the Bush administration.
Bush’s new flexibility is a result of his desire to salvage his Iraq policy and tamp down other crises around the globe, says Richard Haass, head of the Council on Foreign Relations. “It’s ironic that what was a war of choice (in Iraq) has narrowed the administration’s choices and forced it to adopt a more traditional foreign policy.”
Personnel changes might have smoothed the way. When Donald Rumsfeld was Defense secretary, the Pentagon took on foreign policy roles that traditionally went to State Department diplomats. Now, “you have more of a team player” in Robert Gates, Rumsfeld’s successor, says Bruce Riedel, a former National Security Council official. Gates “recognizes the importance of diplomacy and (sees) how overstretched his resources are,” Riedel says.
Anne-Marie Slaughter, dean of the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University, says Vice President Cheney and the Pentagon have seen their influence wane. “The State Department is once again running foreign policy,” she says.

Yet once more appeasement and the supposed buying of security with cash money and promises has proven to be the new treason. It is telling that the Council on Foriegn Relations calls such ” ..a more traditional foriegn policy” as another talking head from Princeton says simultaneously “The State Deptartment is once more running foriegn policy.”
Seems the Bush White House can “talk” to everyone and pay everyone excepting the citizens of the United States ; that he can “address the concerns” of those who have sworn to destroy the United States and yet ignore his own people who vehemently do not want open borders, a mega-state with Canada and Mexico, amnesty for illegals or absolute insecurity as a supposed definition of “victory” in the war on:
- unborn children
- families
- terror
- drugs
..ostensibly being fought on behalf of the American people with their money and resources to include sons and daughters.
This is what happens when anti-Christ becomes the speech of government and he repeats over and over as if already law that ‘generic law enforcers’ and ‘generic judges’ must enforce ( when they couldn’t find the time to enforce what was already legal and the law of the land..) ” ..people of all faiths , er, love, umm.. compassion, simple econmics, new world order , er, unity! Our friends the Saudis!” and when Jesus Christ is held up as merely one of many ‘paths’ to a ‘generic enlightenment’ of the same creature that already exists as a fallen man and woman as if there had been no Fall of Man and no enemy in the gate but as if life was simply one long episode of unrestrained “free will” that must be ‘done’ a very particular and Un-generic “way”.
In Bush’s mind and speech as well of that of the State Dept. and the Council on Foriegn Relations, anti-Christ, Daniel’s three friends are “rejectionists” for not “being in unity” with the rest of the butt naked, ignorant, demon worshipping papans and their king who was the worst of the demon worshippers, having God’s signs sent directly to him and performed upon him only to reject his own decrees concerning God.
Daniel 3:1-18 Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was sixty cubits, and its breadth six cubits; he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon. And Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the justices, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. Then the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the justices, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together unto the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up. And the herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O peoples, nations, and languages, that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, pipe, lute, sambuca, psaltery, bagpipe, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up; and whosoever doth not fall down and worship shall that same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. Therefore at that time when all the peoples heard the sound of the cornet, pipe, lute, sambuca, psaltery, and all kinds of music, all the peoples, the nations, and the languages fell down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. Whereupon at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and accused the Jews. They spoke and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live for ever! Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the cornet, pipe, lute, sambuca, psaltery, and bagpipe, and all kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the golden image; and that whosoever doth not fall down and worship, shall be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. There are certain Jews whom thou hast appointed over the administration of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego: these men, O king, regard thee not; they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image that thou hast set up. Then Nebuchadnezzar in rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. Then were these men brought before the king. Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said unto them, Is it of purpose, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, that ye serve not my god, nor worship the golden image that I have set up? Now if ye be ready at the time that ye hear the sound of the cornet, pipe, lute, sambuca, psaltery, and bagpipe, and all kinds of music, to fall down and worship the image that I have made, well : but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast that same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace: and who is the God that shall deliver you out of my hands? Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer thee in this matter. If it be so , our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thy hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image that thou hast set up.
That very king then said on seeing the men he had condenmed to ‘eternal flames’ walking in those flames with God and unharmed:
Daniel 3:29 Therefore I make a decree, that in every people, nation, and language, he who shall speak anything amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, shall be cut in pieces, and his house shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that is able to deliver after this sort.
Just like Bush and all his family and friends and associates, that very king turned right around and blasphemed God:
Daniel 4:28-30 All this came upon king Nebuchadnezzar. At the end of twelve months he was walking upon the royal palace of Babylon: the king spoke and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?
Now George Bush seeks treason so that he may “have a legacy” in his own name as if he and his State Dept., Islam, the UN, Homosexuals, Freemasonry and the Council on Foregn Relations were God.
God is not mocked. Reality is God’s. It is the same that way all the time with no breaks.
Ever.
2Kings 19:27 But I know thine abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, And thy raging against me.
The ‘legacy’ is simply the idol. Bush has quite forgotten the revelation against Egypt expressly because of wanting a “legacy’:
Ezekiel 29:9 And the land of Egypt shall be a desolation and a waste: and they shall know that I am Jehovah, because he saith, The river is mine, and I made it.
The whole point of America as a nation is to have a place to be honest before God in Jesus Christ in privacy — a place specifically NOT to be lifted up or to be tempted to be lifted up by Destroyers and Thieves who were always dreaming of “being somebody” themselves and seeing their neighbors as impediments to their own avarice in a vanity that destroys all around them.
God Says to the “spirutal advisers” and those who listen to their lies and who come from a “conservative” background and yet decieve all they may:
Jeremiah 22:15-19 Shalt thou reign, because thou viest with the cedar? Did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice? Then it was well with him. He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well. Was not this to know me? saith Jehovah. But thine eyes and thy heart are only on thine extortion, and on the blood of the innocent, to shed it, and on oppression and on violence, to do it. Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah: They shall not lament for him, Ah, my brother! or, Ah, sister! They shall not lament for him, Ah, lord! or Ah, his glory! He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, dragged along and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem.
In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen
