Happy New Year! It's 2009! "How time flies when you are having fun," right? Well, my dearies, as you know, President, G. W. Bush has been attempting to buff up his legacy (since obviously most of us think he did a most horrendous job of being president). He's been making statements to the media that suggest that his eight years of "leadership" were extremely successful. He claims that all he |

has to regret is merely "the intelligence failure in Iraq." And he doesn't mean that he thinks his own personal intelligence failed at all. It's all the fault of others. The CIA tried to tell Bush and Cheney what was really going on in the Middle East, but Cheney fired anyone who failed to provide intelligence that didn't justify the Iraq War. Ten days before the US attacked Iraq, International Atomic Energy Agency director Mohamed El Baradei, whose inspectors were on the ground in Iraq, reported that there was no evidence that Iraq had a nuclear weapons program. Iraq had no WMDs at all! Then weirdly and grossly, Cheney told NBC's Tim Russert on the day the war began: "I think El Baradei, frankly, is wrong." Aside from the wrongness of his war, Bush has left your country in terrible financial shambles! It is so sad. We, up here in heaven, feel so sorry for the folly that has issued during the last eight years. Actually, this folly time has been hard on heaven too. It is unacceptable, up here, that we struggling ghosts (and apprentice angels) involve ourselves in the heartbreak of the still living souls down there on earth. We watch. We pray. But we are not supposed to comment on the sins of earthlings. For instance, my personal fly-up (up from struggling ghost to apprentice angel) has been stalled out by my interest in the sins of Bush/Cheney. A struggling ghost, such as I, should only report on good things. To redeem myself, in 2009 I hope, I will have to report on more positive things, leaving Bush and Cheney behind.
Blessings on you, dear ones,
