Henchmen deserve their just rewards. Just like Catherine Harris is now a US Congressman. One thing George Bush has learned is that if you don't feed your Goerings and Himmlers they are likely to feast on you.

However some henchmen are are unredeemable. Poindexter's failure at DARPA comes to mind.

Bolton is known for fireing anyone who insisted upon telling the truth about the phony reasons for war. He fired people who did not lie under orders from the administration.

The overall strategy of plundering the United States for great personal gain is treasonous for some and patriotic to others.
The Republican accounting scam machine will be able to hold off a great reckoning with inflation and depression for another 3 to 7 years by lying and falsifying figures under threat of extortion or death.

After that the nation's economy will resemble the Enron collapse. Thats when the Republican party will be "happy" to hand the mess over to Democrats who will have the job of trying to raise tax money to keep the country afloat and deal with the imbalance of trade, lack of manufacturing and collapse of the : dollar, medicare, stock market and real estate values. The mega recession will be blamed on the Democrats to set up a return to Reppublican power once the mess is cleaned up enough to pillage again.

But do not fear, the Bob Boltons will still do OK inside their gated communities.

If the Republicans are still in charge after the big bill of the US comes due, their strategy is to deal with the resulting social unrest with weapons and quarantine. What might be known as ethnic cleansing program elswhere will be called something like a cultural purity drive in the US.

In such a future a holocaust will be called God's will, be biological in nature and be extremely swift in comparison to 1940.

These strategies for subjugating the masses has worked in the past on indian populations, the Scotch Irish in Appalachia, the Jews of Europe, Mao's China and the peoples of Africa. There is no reason to think it would not be effective in the US.

These policies will need a hard nose character like Bob Bolton to spread the bull and bulldoze the people.
