Lying and Cheating
Bush's
New Political Math
By SAUL LANDAU
As a parent, I faced the challenge of helping
my kids learn the new math. But how do you help kids grasp contemporary
reality when the equivalent of the cognitive shift in numbers
hits politics? She asked for help in her Poli Sci course.
Does your "new political math"
rest on different axioms than the old political math, the teenager
inquired?
Not too different, I said. Math axioms
apply universally. But this axiom supposes that the United States
bombing raids, invasions and occupations of foreign countries
derives from God-driven motives.
Oh, so when Saddam and other evil men
kill, it's not for God, but to satisfy their personal power lusts?
Yes, I said, you learn fast.
And post war contracts of billions of
dollars to Halliburton, VP Dick Cheney's old company, do not
appear in this new axiom; nor does the fact that Iraq grows oil,
not apples, she added.
Right. Now, go to Sicily for the next
piece of the new math. The "You can say anything lemma,"
derives from an aged Mafia Don complaining to his doctor about
his 95 year old cousin's boast of having frequent intimate relations
with a young woman.
"Help me, doctor," the Don
beseeches, "what can I do?"
"You could say the same thing,"
the doctor advises the old Mafioso.
So, Bush's neo-con speech writers have
him say anything? she asked. Like, "We found the weapons
of mass destruction," which he triumphantly declared in
late May 2003 to Polish television.
What was the context for that statement?
I asked.
The army discovered two tractor-trailers
in Iraq, and Bush said that the CIA was sure that these were
mobile bio-weapons plants. But, like your mafioso's "intimate"
relationship, nothing materialized. Apparently, the sinister
trucks had been designed to produce hydrogen for weather balloons.
That's great, I complimented her. Did
you get this on Fox News?
Please, she said, on Fox I watch "The
Simpsons," not the nonsense they call news, which reports
that Iraq actually had  weapons of mass destruction and ties
to Al Qaeda. I also read your NY Times. On October 30, I read
Thomas Friedman.
And?
Well, he has not interviewed Iraqi guerrilla
leaders, nor read their writing, but he may have majored in mind-reading
since he knows that the Iraqi resistors "understand that
this is the most radical-liberal revolutionary war the U.S. has
ever launched - a war of choice to install some democracy in
the heart of the Arab-Muslim world." But how do older political
math experts calculate the foreseeable future in Iraq, she asked.
The November 13, 2003 Guardian cites
a CIA report, I said, showing her the paper. "We could lose
this situation unless there is a rapid and dramatic change of
course." According to the leaked document, one analyst thought
claimed up to 50,000 people have joined the Iraqi insurgency.
The new math team scoffed at such postulates. But Guardian reporters
Julian Borger and Rory McCarthy insist that those in the Administration
who have resisted the new political math programming responded
to danger signals about losing control and "drew up emergency
plans to accelerate the transfer of power in Iraq."
I get it, she said. The new math advocates
predicted millions of Iraqis would throw flowers at US troops
and they ridiculed the CIA report, even though Bush' pro consul
in Iraq, Paul Bremer, endorsed it.
Good. The new political math team, headed
by Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, wanted to wait patiently
until a real Iraqi government existed, after the flotsam and
jetsam of the US appointed counsel wrote a constitution and held
elections.
So after guerrillas whacked some 19 Italian
soldiers in a bombing on November 12, the new math guys must
have felt uneasy.
Yes, I said, whipping out the November
14, 2003 Le Monde. "Accelerated `Iraqization' of Iraq,"
it says, would reverse the neo con formula in light of new numbers
that even Bush can add up to a rapid deterioration of the US
ability to resurrect colonialism in the name of democracy.
So, do you think Wolfowitz and his allies
feared losing their ideological domain, and leaned on Rummy to
launch bombings of urban targets and tank-led attacks on supposed
guerrilla hideouts in and around Baghdad?
Rummy has become a new political math
covert, I said. He continues to insist that the resistance movement
amounts to no more than a handful of evil followers of Saddam
and his Ba'ath Party plus terrorists who have infiltrated Iraq
from other Arab countries.
Ok, she said, and the old math gang fears
that bombing and brutal raids on houses will turn even more Iraqis
away from their love of our democracy and toward support for
the guerrillas?
Yes, you got it. If Euclid and Pythagoras
are turning over in their respective graves over what they see
as glaring flaws in the revisionist approach, imagine how non-mathematicians
must feel?
OK, what's new political math in a formula
I can remember?
Place "Lying as the route to liberating"
over "Taunting as the tactic against terrorism," and
multiply by "Cut taxes for the rich and tell the poor it's
good for them."
So what's the answer, she demanded.
A proven fundraising Republican strategy
for the 2004 election and, if Bush's political new math proves
correct, a formula for November victory.
Explain, she says.
Start with Karl Rove, master manipulator
of these Pythagorean revisions. He studied at the PT Barnum University
of Cynical Calculus. He uses the axiom "there's a sucker
born every minute" as his foundation. Given that approximately
100 million Americans turn out to vote - well, you can go to
your slide rule (ancient technology) for the result: Bush wins
in 2004.
Are you saying that any people that voted
in large numbers -- albeit not the majority, thank God -- for
George W. Bush, would also be inclined to buy the Brooklyn Bridge,
she asked. If character mattered, as the conservatives argued,
then why pick a man who has spent his life sucking off the breast
of privilege, was convicted of drunk driving and has a history
of addiction? Hey, she added, don't forget some shadowy business
deals and an AWOL record for his Air National Guard service.
I can't think of any noble deeds or sacrifices attributed to
him; yet, he's promoted as a caring, wise and prudent leader.
Have we reached the point in our political process where charlatanry
poses as wisdom? Look at his November 6 speech about how our
mission to spread democracy to Iraq will succeed, and that accomplishment
will infect the entire region.
Yes. Rove and company count on the Thomas
Friedmans, chicken hawks who assume a liberal mantel, to push
this new Republican math line to new limits. In his TheLexus
and Olive Tree, Friedman writes how "the hidden hand of
the market will never work without a hidden fist. McDonald's
cannot flourish without McDonnell Douglas, the designer of the
U.S. Air Force F-15, and the hidden fist that keeps the world
safe for Silicon Valley's technologies to flourish is called
the U.S. Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps."
I read a Susan George pamphlet "The
Corporate Utopian Dream: The WTO and the Global War System,"
(Seattle, November 1999) in which a US soldier said it more succinctly:
"The de facto role of the United States Armed Forces will
be to keep the world safe for our economy and open to our cultural
assault. To those ends, we will do a fair amount of killing."
Good, I said, quoting Johann Galtung's
The Fall of Empire. He added the political dimension that includes
"a fair amount of bullying" or "arm-twisting"
after killing.
Sounds like Charles Krauthammer writing
in the March 5, 2001 Time magazine. She read it to me: ("The
Bush Doctrine, In American foreign policy, a new motto: Don't
ask. Tell.") "America is no mere international citizen.
It is the dominant power in the world, more dominant than any
since Rome. Accordingly, America is in a position to reshape
norms, alter expectations, and create new realities. How? By
unapologetic and implacable demonstrations of will."
Well, I said, Wolfowitz said a similar
thing in his October 31, 2003 Georgetown University remarks.
"A lot of innocents were sacrificed and the alternative
would have been far more brutal, there is no question in my mind,"
I read to her.
The axiom rests on the notion of innate
US goodness, she said. Does this check out historically?
I quoted from Eduardo Galeano in the
March 19, 2003 La Jornada: "Will this be a democracy like
in Haiti, the Dominican Republic or Nicaragua? They occupied
Haiti for 19 years and set up a military power base that eventually
became the dictatorship of Francois Duvalier. They occupied the
Dominican Republic for nine years and laid the foundations for
the dictatorship of Rafael Leonidas Trujillo. They occupied Nicaragua
for 21 years and founded the dictatorship of the Somoza family....The
Somoza dynasty, set on the throne by the Marines, lasted half
a century before being swept away by popular fury in 1979."
Was Shakespeare a political math guy?
She changed the subject.
Huh?
Mark Antony, Caesar's chief lieutenant,
comments on Brutus and Cassius' attempt to divert the populace
by whipping up violent sentiment for revenge. "Cry 'Havoc!'
and let slip the dogs of war," says Mark Antony.
