Ganley ignored - Thank you, Mr President

PRESIDENT BUSH ends his presidency as one of the least popular American presidents of all time but we can be thankful that he ignored advice offered by Libertas founder and anti-Lisbon campaigner Declan Ganley.

In a previously unpublished paper, given to a conference at the University of Limerick to discuss global security issues, Mr Ganley said that Iraq and Iran could only be “tamed” through a second world war-type effort involving drafts, rationing and sacrifice.

All around the world there are tens of thousands of think-tanks and lobby groups all sitting around tables agreeing with each other. Some do great good, others are irrelevant. Some are downright dangerous.
