George
W Bush & Gulf War IInd In the year
2000 there was a presidential election in USA between Democrat
Al Gore and Republican George W Bush. Being always especially
interested in American politics and thereby in their
presidential election, I sent out two dispatches to my
publisher, one for each of the above candidates. My publisher
posted them both on the web at that time and they are still
there under the title
"India Notebook"at:
http//www.terraplanepub.com/worldview/india5.htm
The dispatch for George W Bush is under the sub-heading
"An Indian's Advise to
the American electorate." It begins with the
comment:
"I wish to caution
Americans: make no mistake. In the event of the election of
George W Bush to the presidency of the United States there is
certainly going to be another round of the 'Gulf War'. …….
(Further) ………. And in the event of a second round
the elimination of the Iraqi dictator from the Arab scene is
also certain." I need not mention anything
about the precision of the above prediction. And the prediction
didn't end there. In the same article:
"I sincerely believe that even if Saddam, in view of the
potential danger to his existence restrained himself and offered
the younger Bush no provocation, George W Bush in turn is likely
to manoeuvre Saddam into making one, thus clearing the road for
a second round of armed conflict."
And this too came true in the form of the manoeuvre made in the
name of finding WMD.
I had attached it all to one
condition.
"PROVIDED HE WINS
THE PRESIDENCY ," It was put in all-caps in
order to signify the skepticism (doubtfulness) about his "decisive"
victory. I would certainly not claim that it was due to my
writing, but for one of the few times in American history a
president was declared "elected" without a decisive
victory. On the contrary, the majority of the Americans are
still of the view that the real winner was Gore. But due to
technical reasons results were declared in favor of Bush.
The last Para read:
"I
therefore trust that Saddam is a factor to be reckoned with for
the American voter while choosing between the two contenders as
to whether they want another serious round of the Gulf War ………
(Further) ………. In other words, George W Bush as
president means Gulf war II. Americans, please be prepared for
that. Make no mistake. It is not a casual prediction. It is a
CERTAINTY which I can read on the wall."
Now it is for
you to
decide how deadly accurate was my intutuion about this
prediction .
