Bush Chooses What to Believe »
Posted By Beau7890 1 year, 9 months ago in NewsPresident Bush has apparently found a way to reconcile his bellicose views of Iran with the recent National Intelligence Estimate that concluded Iran shelved its nuclear weapons program four years ago. He told the Israelis that [the NIE's] conclusions don't reflect his own views' about Iran's nuclear-weapons program, said the official...

The report's authors 'knew how to pull the rug out from under us,' says a long-time aide to the vice president, referring to the way the key judgments were presented."
It was the Flying Carpet and the lily-livered cowards are hovering just outside Mr Cheney's blasting zone?

Shrub is the worst kind of war monger anyone in this country could have ever imagined. Even his father was nowhere near his level and had the sense to quit after freeing Kuwait from its invaders and thus retaining US leadership in the world.
This current administration thinks it is OK to just start a war whenever and wherever it wants. Never before have we done more than a minor couple day incursion into another country that had not attacked us. We need to gain control back of our country, but it won't happen for at least another year. With more than the 40 votes needed to kill any legislation in the senate shrub and his supporters in reality still control the congress by preventing anything they don't like.
These are the same people who complained with the democrats fillibustered a bill or appointment but now have done the same thing several orders or magnitude more than the democrates ever did when they were the minority.

Oh, yes you have! It's not just this administration.
Although most U.S. interventions are indeed secret wars sending a few dozen "military advisors", arming and hiring locals to form guerilla troops, bombing by air or sea, or U.S. troops are small, there was major interventions, too.
After 1900 for example:
- So called "Banana Wars". USA forces attacked and occupied several Central American countries like Panama, Haiti, Nicaragua, Dominican Republic.
- Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia.
- Cuba (Bay of Pigs)
- Grenada
- Nicaragua (again, Contras)
- Panama (again, 1989)
- Iraq 1991
- Somalia
- Yugoslavia
USA was far from neutral before entering WWI and WWII, either.

"This marked a big change from the years leading up to the Iraq war, when Mr. Cheney and his top aide, I. Lewis 'Scooter' Libby, made repeated visits to Langley to query analysts about their findings on Iraq's weapons capabilities."
****************************
You mean they blocked Dr. Strangelove out of the equation? How dare they! By "query" does that mean that they questioned the analysts about whether they would like to be a test subject to see if "waterboarding" really works? We also see that Cheney doesn't really need these people, he can create an international incident out of a heckling or somebody throwing a rock, if he has to.
And I don't buy the headline that "Bush chooses what to believe"...Dick chooses for George what he is to believe when it comes to foreign policy. If his pacemaker ever quit we might find out what little Georgie really thinks, as vapid as those thoughts might be.

The problem right now when it comes to mid east policy is every country over there is getting a different story from the U.S.. There is the threat from Iran there is the treat of what high oil prices will do, there is the treat of not having democracy. The only problem is that these are what the U.s. sees as threats, I'm not sure if these threats are of concern to those in the mid east. As for the presence off the American military in the east I really don't feel that it is to protect their interests.

Bush really is full of crap and there is not doubt in the minds of many people I know who believe that he and his Israel lobby friends want the US to bomb Iran. The US administration has always contended that Iran is sending freedom fighters into Iraq yet Saudi Arabia according to what I have read is a heavier contributor. Small surprise as we all know that those who performed the attack were from Saudi Arabia and that Saudi Arabia had contributed money to terrorist organizations so that they themselves would not be the targets.

We need to gain control back of our country, but it won't happen for at least another year.It no longer matters to these people whether or not they project any form of integrity onto the current ME situation. Under any other rubric than the ones offered by places such as Whitehall, Washington, Wall Street and the London Exchange - to name only a few - these preemptive wars and prospective invasions are attempted colonial conquests, plain and simple. Those currently conducting the Western initiative form an imperial bloc.
