Reciently, the transfer of power back to the Iraqi government by President Bush has caused a huge stir. This was done two days ahead of schedule. This transfer of power is a huge deal, occuring 15 months after the taking over of the country by the U.S. The idea was to get Sadam out of power and to establish a more democratic government. Let's just hope this works out like we hope. But the focus of this commentary is the earily transfer of power to the Iraqi govn't. The main question is why earily ?? What on the President's agenda would cause him to 'jump the gun', as it were, and give back power so earily ??
To answer this, let's look at the facts as they are: 1) This transfer was scheduled for June 30, 2004. 2) A handover of power like this takes at least a couple days to work through, on paper and behind closed doors. 3) It takes a while to fly back to the U.S. from Iraq. 4) Shaking hands and saying 'good bye' to diplomats require some time and maybe even a dinner. 5)Lastly, and most importantly, SPIDERMAN 2 STARTS ON JUNE 30th !!!
So to put the pieces together, President Bush doesn't want to miss opening night of Spiderman 2. He HAD to transfer power earily so he could get optimal seats at his local theater. I'm sure he didn't want to catch it while in an Iraqi theater, with subtitles and a terrible Iraqi dubbing job. I couldn't imagine the horror of watching Spidey and Doc Ock with a Middle Eastern accent. It's not acceptable. Dub-yah had to get back to the good ol' U S of A to get an air conditioned, stadium seated, popcorn smelling room with fans dressed up like Mary Jane, J.Jonah Jameson, Doc Ock, and ,of course, Spiderman. If I were President of the United States, I would have done the same thing, get business done as quickly as possible and get back to the states to catch opening night.
To those who are out to defame the President, I would suggest thinking again about your motives. We have a guy in office who believes in Freedom, democracy, and not missing opening night of Spiderman 2. What more could you want from a President ??? We may have our different reasons why we support the President of the U.S. but for me, it's because he's a Spiderman fan and knows the importance of opening night.
