Fear and Fraudulent Politics

• by: Condor

President Bush’s recent disclosure of 2005 al-Qeida plots aimed at Iraq and the U.S. represents yet another transparent manipulation of (un)intelligence information by this Administration designed at shoring up support for the increasingly unpopular War through fear tactics.

Isn’t it just a little bit hypocritical that this Bush-League Administration would have the American people believe that we must face terrorists in the Middle East so that they don’t make it to American shores while simultaneously refusing to secure our own borders.  Not only has this Administration put our Country on every terrorist organization’s chart, it has laid out the welcome mat.

And doesn’t it bother anyone that this Bush-Wacking Administration’s hypocritical foreign policy condones civil-rights violations in China, Saudia Arabia, Korea, the Soviet Union, Africa, and the U.S. but would invest $1 trillon to halt civil rights violations in Iraq (and install a government which still tolerates stoning women to death for allowing themselves to be raped.)

This Administration is not about fighting terrorism, eliminating WMD’s, installing democracy in Iraq, or defending the American people. This Administration is about one thing and one thing only, greed.  This Administration has perpetuated and proliferated the corporate war-machine-for-profit and the interests of it’s wealthy friends, period.  You may recall that President Eisenhower first warned Americans about the corporate war-machine-for-profit, and how it had pervaded every level of government, in 1960 just prior to leaving office.

All of this, however, does not in any way diminish the honor or tremendous sacrifices of our Service Men, Service Women, and their families.  If Americans want to truly support our troops, then they must continue to pressure Congress to end our involvement in Iraq regardless of what those two tyrants in the White House want. It’s time to halt the bloodshed for profits agenda of Bush and Cheney and bring our troops home.
