Brian Kilmeade appeared live from Waco, Texas Friday morning, where he was golfing with former President George W. Bush. Kilmeade and Bush came together for the fourth annual Patriot Golf Day, an event that supports the children and spouses of American military men and women killed or disabled in service. Bush is the Chairman of the event.

Not that often that we get to hear from the former warmonger in chief.
George W. Bush, who reportedly told Argentinian President Kirchner that war was the engine of the economy, who learned not to be seen golfing while soldiers were dying at the hands of his military-industrial ambition. This same George Bush now chairs a national golf-charity effort to help the children of those killed by his handiwork.
Color me disgusted.
At the Daily Bail we are interested in the truth above all else. We expose the lies and hypocrisy of both parties. This is NOT a Republican site. If you don't understand that both parties have driven us to the brink of fiscal insolvency then you are blind to one side. It's the theme we have covered since day one. Both parties are corrupt Washington spending machines controlled by K Street lobbying whores, and both parties love war.
In this particular case, the Rumsfeld/Wolfowitz/Cheney/Bush lies were fabricated in order to win approval from Congress and the American public. Without these lies there would have been no invasion. The war would have remained a Bush family pipedream. And tens of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis would still draw breath.
Now a word from Sagebrush:
I believe the George W. Bush presidency will go down in history as an absolute failure of leadership. His administrations manipulation of intelligence and misleading the American People about WMD's and Iraq having ties to Al Qaida. The monstrous deficits resulting for an unprovoked war with Iraq. Allowing the military action in Afghanistan to fail while attacking Iraq to gain control of a major middle eastern oil reserve. Violating the Constitution by wire tapping U.S. Citizens without FISA Court warrant requests, treatment of detainees and torturing prisoners, the incompetent response to Hurricane Katrina, Tax cuts and other policies that accelerated the concentration of wealth and income among the very richest Americans, the total mismanagement of the economic meltdown.
The U.S. has lost much of it's standing with the rest of the world as a result of this dysfunctional Presidency. And working class Americans are losing their futures as a result of it's failures. It appears that the present Obama Administration is headed down the same dysfunctional pathways and may end up an even bigger, if thats possible, failure, than the G.W. Bush Administration. Time to vote them all out.

DB here. And since so many of you are reacting with anger without checking the facts, I will bring the Kirchner interview to your front door.
Forget Oliver Stone and politics for a minute, and just watch this clip. Stone is interviewing former President of Argentina, Nestor Kirchner. He relates a personal conversation with GW from Monterrey, Mexico in January of 2004.
Anyone needing any more proof regarding the ingrained power of the military-industrial complex is advised to contact the Bushes in Crawford, Texas. And then call on fellow war-monger Obama in Washington.
President George W. Bush argued in 2004 that the best way to grow the U.S. economy was by waging war, according to former Argentine Prime Minister Néstor Kirchner.
Kirchner, in a meeting with Bush, suggested that the United States replicate the successful nation-building strategy it implemented at the end of World War II.
"And he stood up from his chair and got angry. He told me, 'A Marshall plan! No! That's a crazy idea from the Democrats. What needs to be done here, and the best way to revitalize the economy is -- the United States has grown based on wars,' he told me. That's what he told me," Kirchner recounted.
Bush added, said Kirchner, that "all the economic growth that the U.S. had had, had been based on the different wars it had waged."
Kirchner held a 50-minute meeting in Monterrey, Mexico with Bush in January, 2004.
"War? He said that?" Stone asked Kirchner, who was among a wave of progressive leaders elected in Latin America over the last decade.
"He said that, word for word," Kirchner assured Stone.
Stone followed up: "Is he suggesting that Latin America should go to war?"
No, said Kirchner. "Well, he was talking about the United States, never said South America. That the United States -- that it was a misunderstanding of the Democrats, that all the economic growth that the U.S. had had, had been based on the different wars it had waged."
The Kirchner interview is done through a translator and the subtitles on the screen don't exactly match what Kirchner was saying, but more closely reflect how his comments were being translated at the time. The Huffington Post had three separate native Spanish speakers translate Kirchner's remarks. His comments above are the result of those translations.
If Kirchner is accurately relaying the comments, that would make Bush the highest-ranking public official to state outright that war is and has been good for the American economy.
