Bush in space


The 1967 United Nations Outer Space Treaty prohibits the deployment of weapons of mass destruction in space. But Bush wants to turn space into a war zone. A new policy says the U.S. has the right to conduct whatever activities necessary for its own national interest AND to take measures to deny adversaries the use of space for activities hostile to those interests. The rights the U.S. is claiming for itself, it is denying to others. That’s called ‘Washington’ style freedom.

The Pentagon is seeking hundreds of millions of dollars from Congress to develop space weapons. That may still be avoided if as expected the Republicans lose both houses of Congress in the November 7 election.

Bush wants to be Darth Vader, or rather the Evil Emperor reigning over outer space. But as in ‘Star Wars’, the emperor will be destroyed and the rebels will be victorious. The dark side of the Force will never triumph. Bush will be defeated!
