Comment immediately censored by Huffington Post. Disparaging GW Bush and the Neocon legacy

Censored Comment

GW Bush's father was so confident that his son had made the correct decisions he bought a 100,000 acre ranch in Paraguay as a bolt hole for the entire family should large numbers of Americans wake up to the disaster he had brought upon them. 

Bush the Elder needn't have worried. 
The vast majority of Americans are still as ignorant now as they were in 2004.

Still waiting on whether the following comments eventually get published or not. 

Comment 1 - published after a delay 

America set a new global and historical record - it went from almost nothing to unrivalled superpower in 200 years. 

It took Rome over 500 years to do that. 
It took the Brits about 700 years. 

America is now going for a new global record. 
Unrivalled superpower to 2nd rater in the shortest time ever. 
It took Rome about 250 years to do that.
It took the Brits 60 years. 

America is now trying to do it in less than 50 years and on it's current path America will do it. 
That is GW Bush, Dick Cheney and the Neocon legacy. 

Comment 2 - pending 

GW Bush or rather Dick Cheney and the Neocons started America on it's downward path towards 2nd rate power status, with reckless spending, counter productive warmongering and the abuses of civil rights.

Barack Oba ma will just about finish the job off by 2016 although it will take a bit longer to completion.
Oba ma has increased military spending by 50% since Bush.
America now spends TRIPLE on the military than it did during the cold war.

America's downward path is accelerating.

China is already making medium term plans to take over global hegemony and replace the US Dollar as the Global Reserve Currency - with a trading coalition of the BRICs, SE Asia, Japan, Australia, Chile and half of Africa.

GW Bush, Dick Cheney and the Neocon legacy is the loss of American hegemony.
It will be written up in the history books in about 30 years time.

Comment 3 - published

“The parallels with the end of the British Empire from it's peak power in 1885 and the decline of the Roman Empire from about 250AD are astoundingly similar, they are written up on my blog. 

We haven't seen a shift in global power on this scale since the Black Death in the 1340's which wiped out 30 to 40% of Europe's population and ushered in the start of the end of Feudalism and the switch to Mercantilism and thence Capitalism.

Perhaps we haven't seen anything like the current shift since the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 410AD. 

Trade makes nations rich, wars and excessive military spending make nations poor. 
A lesson the Founders and the Chinese are only too well aware of.”

Comment 4 - Still pending 

The decision to invade Iraq was made in the early 1990's by Dick Cheney soon after the first Gulf War.
It was written up and published in PNAC in 1997.
The invasion plans gained new impetus when Saddam Hussein threatened to price his oil in Euro's and encouraged other OPEC members to do the same.

The decision to invade Iraq was always going to be a huge mistake.
General Norman Shwarzkopf correctly stated that it would become a quagmire.
I wrote up 25 reasons why it would be a massive strategic mistake in January 2002.
I copied them to my current blog with minor amendments here. http://ian56.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/what-was-wrong-with-iraq-war.html

America has wasted over $5tn on counter productive wars while China signed up half of Africa for free without firing a bullet.
The only things that America has gained is more enemies and to help China in it's rise to power.

GW Bush, Dick Cheney and the Neocon legacy is a handover of global power to a China centered SE Asia coalition (along with Japan, Brazil, Russia, Australia, Chile and half of Africa in a trade coalition that will exclude the US Dollar).
