"Is Bush Calling For Genocide?"

What Bush is willing to sink to always amazes me. Gordon at Alternate Brain asks, "Is Bush Calling for Genocide?" He follows it with this:

This may be a little tinfoil-hattish, but that's never stopped me. From xymphora:

The 'surge' is itself another Bush lie. The Pentagon doesn't have the troops, so the 'increase' will just be Pentagon crooked bookkeeping (crooked bookkeeping is something the Pentagon is good at). The real plan is much worse. It is a covert change in the rules of engagement. [...]

This is coded language, but not difficult to read. Bush is calling for genocide against the Sunnis. He is following the recommendation of John Podhoretz in the New York Post (note that Uruknet misattributes this to John Podhoretz's almost equally vile father; the most infamous line is in red [bold]):

"What if the tactical mistake we made in Iraq was that we didn't kill enough Sunnis in the early going to intimidate them and make them so afraid of us they would go along with anything? Wasn't the survival of Sunni men between the ages of 15 and 35 the reason there was an insurgency and the basic cause of the sectarian violence now?

If you can't imagine George W. Bush issuing such an order, is there any American leader you could imagine doing so?"

"Now we can imagine Bush issuing such an order. We will also see the Americans go medieval on the Sunnis in Anbar (who are called 'al Qaeda'). Just to confirm who is running things, there is a tiny reference in Bush's speech to more for Israel:

"We will expand intelligence sharing - and deploy Patriot air defence systems to reassure our friends and allies."

I think we have to monitor this situation very, very closely and be most careful what we allow the Bush Administration to serve us to drink.
