The Bushes
& Iran
by Robert Parry
Excerpt:
The historical facts - relating to Republican
contacts with Iran's Islamic regime 25 years ago
- are relevant today because an underlying theme
in Bush's rationale for war is that direct
negotiations with Iran are pointless. But Bush's
own father may know otherwise.
The evidence is now persuasive that George H.W.
Bush participated in negotiations with Iran's
radical regime in 1980, behind Carter's back,
with the goal of arranging for 52 American hostages
to be released after Bush and Reagan were sworn
in.
In exchange, the Republicans agreed to let Iran
obtain U.S.-manufactured military supplies through Israel.
The Iranians kept their word, releasing the hostages
immediately upon Reagan's swearing-in on Jan. 20, 1981.
Over the next few years, the Republican-Israel-Iran
weapons pipeline operated mostly in secret,
only exploding into public view with the Iran-Contra
scandal in late 1986. Even then, the Reagan-Bush team
was able to limit congressional and other investigations,
keeping the full history - and the 1980 chapter
- hidden from the American people.
Upon taking office on Jan. 20, 2001, George W.
Bush walled up the history even more by issuing
an executive order blocking the scheduled declassification
of records from the Reagan-Bush years.
After 9/11, W added more bricks to the wall by
giving Presidents, Vice Presidents and their heirs
power over releasing documents.
I've said it before - take Reagan's name off everything
until Bush releases his records.
Why should we honor a president whose actions
can't see the light of day?

Subject: McCain caves in on torture
John McCain has caved into Bush yet again on the
only issue that still had meaning for him.
McCain who was a prisoner of war has now caved
into Bush's plan to allow the CIA to
torture prisoners in secret prisons in countries
that allow torture. The Republicans think that
if you tamper with the definition of torture
then it makes it not torture. However - if Bush doesn't
intend to torture then why do you need secret
prisons in countries that allow torture to do it?
I am more troubled by Americans lowering our standards
to the same level as the terrorists.
There is now no moral difference between us and
them.
We are both a society of barbarians who practice
the methods of Hitler.
This isn't going to save any American lives. It's
going to cost American lives because more people
around the world we hate Americans for our barbarism.
This is so outrageous that it will even cause
Americans to hate Americans.
This is no longer my country anymore.
The America I remember would never legalize torture.
Marc Perkel
San Bruno, CA
The minute I heard, "a compromise has been
reached," I knew McCain caved in.

CIA "Refused to Operate" Secret Jails
Excerpt:
Bush had to empty his secret prisons and transfer
terror suspects to the Gitmo in part because
CIA interrogators had refused to carry out further
interrogations and run the secret facilities,
according to former CIA officials and people
close to the programme. They said the CIA
interrogators' refusal was a factor in forcing
Bush to act earlier than it might have wished.t
Go figure.
Bush is so eager to torture even the CIA draws a line.

Subject: taxes
Dear very liberal BartCop,
You've already stubbed your toe - but maybe you're
new here...
I just had one of your compadres tell me that
GW has no good ideas.
How about the tax cuts?
JFK did the same thing, and no one complained.
Bill said he was going to do the same thing and
no one complained.
So GW has a good idea but no?
Grimgold (hated Conservative Republican)
Dude, you're not serious, are you?
Trust me - YOU didn't get a tax cut. The super-rich
did.
The people rolling in extra millions got more
extra millions from you and me.
Gee, do you feel sad for the oil companies, too?
Exxon only made $25 billion last year - and you
helped pay for it.
Yes, JFK cut taxes for everyone by a third.
Clinton cut taxes for the little people.
Bush bankrupted the Treasury and is now borrowing
money from the ChiComs
(thought you guys hated them) and the Saudi Royal
Family to give the super-rich more.
For this to be possible, Bush has to raise our taxes or cut services.
When he cuts services, we will have:
-Fewer meat and poultry inspectors.
-Less paint on our highways.
-Fewer airline inspections.
-Less firefighting equipment.
-Fewer cops, fewer cop cars, fewer helicopters.
-Roads repaired less often.
-Bridges and railroad tressles inspected fewer times each year.
-Fewer stoplights and yield signs.
-Fewer restrictions on used cars sales and door-to-door scams.
-Fewer air-traffic controllers.
-A smaller military.
-Fewer people to answer
the phones at Social Security,
Medicaid, Medicare
and Mental Health Centers.
-Fewer judges, fewer prosecutors, less jail space.
-Less zoning enforcement, allowing strip clubs near schools.
-Fewer medical examiners, fewer detectives working homicides.
-Less flood planning, fewer bridges, fewer 911 operators.
-Fewer bomb-sniffing dogs at the airport.
-Fewer, older model black
boxes on airplanes.
The list goes on and on.
Just how much less government can we afford?

Bush torture
'worse than Saddam'
saw it on the BBC
Excerpt:
Torture may be worse now in Iraq than under Saddam,
the UN's chief anti-torture expert says.
Manfred Nowak said the situation in Iraq was "out
of control", with abuses being committed
by security forces, militia groups and anti-US
insurgents. Bodies found in the Baghdad morgue
"often bear signs of severe Gonzales", said the
human rights office of the UN in a report.

Bush to Pakistan: We'll bomb you to Stone Age
Excerpt:
Pervez Musharraf , the President of Pakistan,
claimed last night that Bush threatened to bomb
his country "into the Stone Age " if it did not
co-operate with the US after 9/11, sharply increasing
tensions between the US and one of its closest
allies in the war on terrorism. Musharraf, who will
meet with Bush today, said the threat was made
by Richard Armitage in the days after 9-11
and was issued to the Pakistani intelligence
director.
This gives credibility to the story that Bush told the Taliban before
9-11,
"We want our pipepline there and you can get
paid with a carpet of gold or a carpet of bombs,"
and when they said no to his blackmail, they knew their regime was
lost so Osama planned 9-11.
Bush has been quoting Osama lately, but he never quotes Osama saying
the reason for 9-11
was the BFEE putting troops on their sacred (Oh please) land.
The American whore press won't tell you why we're at war.
The American whore press loves war - it sells papers and TV commercials.
Rating for CNN and FOX went up 40 percent when the war started.
They don't care how many US troops are murdered - they want that extra

Monkey Goes Postal
Excerpt:
It has nothing to do with the Geneva Conventions,
and it has even less to do with terrorism.
This is all about one sick and twisted sadist
named George W Bush. This guy has always been
in love with torture - it's an important part
of his psychological history. He needs to have that
kind of demeaning power over other human beings
- it makes him feel more powerful and in
control of his own life. This isn't about making
our country safer - it's about making him feel safer
in his own weak and degenerate mind. It's about
Bush's psychological need to feel in control,
and that's why he's so emotional about it, because
he feels as if he's being castrated. Bush's love
affair with torture isn't something that began
after 9-11, or when he was appointed president.
It began when he was a still a small boy, and
began inserting firecrackers into frogs to blow them up.
(I guess they weren't listed in the Geneva Conventions
either.)

Hostage
to Iran Again?
by Clinton-hater Maureen Dowd
Excerpt:
W. has now put so many bad actors in the terror
stew - some of whom hate each other - and has
justified so many sketchy programs under the
war-on-terror rubric, that the word "terror" is losing
all meaning and just becoming a marketing slogan.
Even Peggy Noonan says that W. can be
"a historical drama queen." If our pursuit of
terrorists who harmed us and want to hurt us again gets
too diffuse, it's pointless, counterproductive
and endless. The president's refusal to understand what's
at stake in the torture debate is itself a kind
of torture for Americans who don't want our moral power
- and our pursuit of Al Qaeda - diluted.

Let me get this straight...
Bush invades Iraq, kills tens of thousands of locals and 2700 soldiers
and the American whore press covers up for him and hides his crimes.
But Hugo Chavez calls Bush "the Devil" and he's "an unstable crackpot?"
Speaking is worse than, say, 50,000 death women and children?
Nancy Pelosi came running to Bush's rescue, calling the truth-teller,
"a thug."
Why is Nancy Pelosi fighting for their team?
She didn't have to endorse what Chavez said, but she could've said,
"Bush's military aggression has caused hatred
all around the world."
That's a fact - she can't get in trouble for saying the obvious,
but no,
she thinks the top House Democrat should run to the bully's defense.
No doubt, Harry Reid ran to Bush's defense, too.
Just a few years ago, Jesse Helms (Is he in Hell yet?) said "Clinton
better not
come to Carolina without bodyguards because
the troops might want to kill him."
Sidebar:
The military hated Clinton because he never sent
a man into battle who didn't come home.
They LOVE Bush for lying 2700 of them into their
graves. Why can't they think better?
Did the GOP side with Clinton and condemn Helms?
No - they stick together because they want to win.
Democrats wouldn't stick together if they fell into a vat of molasses.
