Last edited Sat Jun 21, 2014, 09:32 PM - Edit history (1)
Talking to reporters at the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum in Dallas, the President said he did not read the news before composing his latest work. I was never big on that, he said.
Pronouncing himself pleased with his painting of Iraq, Mr. Bush said he was getting to work on a new painting entitled, The Worlds Really Nice Climate.

Maliki was hoping that these young Iraqis would find a new home in Syria, but they came home with some extremist helpers. Bush paints that they will be coming come to Iraq with flowers instead of the war machines of the past Family business.

Syria is one of the countries that has been in the bull's-eye of climate change. From 2006 to 2010, a historic drought destroyed 60 percent of the country's farms and 80 percent of its livestock driving a million refugees from rural agricultural areas into cities already crowded with the million refugees who had taken shelter there from the Iraq War. As early as 2008, U.S. State Department cables quoted Syrian government officials warning that the social and economic impacts of the drought are "beyond our capacity as a country to deal with." Though the hellish and ongoing civil war in Syria has multiple causes including the perfidy of the Assad government and the brutality on all sides their climate-related drought may have been the biggest underlying trigger for the horror.
