Has USA lost it….

During the past six months the Bush administration seemed to have gone slow and recognized that the world is too big to rule. This discovery came at the tail of a dwindling dollar price, high cost of energy and slowing down of US economy.

The last visit of Bush to the Middle East appeared also as the last call of a sinking president, trying to set arm-deals for his post-tenure….the funny thing, it coincided with a visit with the French president to the same area…. apparently there is a competition of rival salesmen, trying to sell the same goods within the same neighborhood, using the same concept, of a mutual virtual enemy, as means of convincing and induction of sales….

Both Salespersons have no credibility in that area, for instant Egypt seemed distancing itself from the actions of Bush and his administration, as the later is trying to strive contention between Egypt and Jordan through the US Aide….

The Bush administration lost it s creditability along with that of USA in the whole world. USA is no more seen as the utopia of the world, but rather the suppressor of its own people before those of apostate states…..the resistance in Iraq shall ultimately force US forces to cocoon in basis outside major cities, with the help of some weak Iraqi government, that shall behave worse than Saddam, using the “Awakening” or the Sahwa troops. These military basis shall be a focused target of several freedom fighters and the situation will prolong, leading ultimately to the full withdrawal of the American troops in some ten years or less…..the same situation happened with the British troops in Suez Canal during the period of 1940 to 1954 when the British withdraw from Egypt and it marked the obscuration of the British empire.

What amazes me is Arabs never read or learn. During the oil crisis in the mid seventies H. Kissinger vowed to make Arabs embezzle all their petro-gains through inflated arms deals and inflated urban development….and it happened, once again the history is repeating itself and Arabs are still doing the same mistake…instead of using such gains in research and development, creating a giant industrial areas, investing in their human capital and creating an independent internal national security program or least of all invest in Africa like Chine of USA is currently doing, they still use that capital for buying Yachts and military toys that they shall never use and cannot use, due to the lack of trust between rulers and their armies, as well as low human military capacity.

What also triggered my wondering mind is the recent attacks on Gaza, especially during the Bush visit to that area. Is the purpose to frighten those gulf buyers and project military terror in their minds, to ensure they invest more in military purchases, to reinforce the idea of a virtual enemy, and create a terror scenario by analogy of what can happen to them from Iran if they are not buying such arms….I am not sure but it may be working…

Coming to back to Iran and the imaginary enemy that has been always of existence, yet never attached the Arabs, except in defense against Iraq during the first gulf war. The recent incident early this month of the huge US carrier threatened by an Iranian boat, was quite stunning. Again why such incident happened only some days before Bush visit to the Middle East, is the purpose to conform that Iran is trying to dominate the Gulf Sea and that it is a threat….again to confirm to Arabs that Iran is a threat….

Recently I was astonished when the Egyptian government tried to get itself involved in such crisis and act as an agent by proxy for the US in vowed to protect the Gulf….I think the coming days may show more features of such initiative. I believe that Egypt has no existence in the gulf, neither economically or politically. Egyptians can claim that they are enforcing the Arabs League’s military truce but in reality they may be diverting their military forces to act like missionaries by proxy for US army who is completely tired, depressed and lost it.
