Bush Attacks Bloggers, CodePink Organizers

"When it comes to funding our troops, some in Washington should spend more time responding to the warnings of terrorists like Osama bin Laden and the requests of our commanders on the ground," Bush said, "and less time responding to the demands of MoveOn.org bloggers and Code Pink protesters."

Bush rhetoric is sinister. He clearly used 9/11 as pretext to invade Iraq, claiming that Saddam was supporting Osama, which a post earlier today, referencing Curveball, dispels, and which raises serious speculation regarding the adminsitration's own own involvement: was the administration merely negligent and incompetent prior to 9/11, or is this a case of depraved indifference, particularly for those of us who watch Law and Order, or did, prior to Fred Thompson's entry into the presidential race?

Hillary seems to be on the right side:

"George Bush's faulty and offensive historical analogies aren't going to end the war in Iraq, make America safer or bring our troops home," she said in a statement. "Americans are tired of the president's efforts to play politics with national security and practice the politics of division."

In other words, the Bush cabal ( shrubs ) has managed to use 9/11 to implicate Saddam Hussein, largely predicated on the testimony of one Curveball, over and above that of George Tenet, Director of the CIA in conjunction with French intelligence ( see At The Center of the Storm and The 9/11 Report ), the DIA, which said that Saddam, a secular leader would not support someone like Osama, a revolutionary; implicate Saddam in 9/11 and then claim that he possessed WOMDs, which was proven false, and then continue to make the claim, which is to say, implicate the integrity of the weapons inspectors who said it was false, people like Hans Blix.

What's even more horrendous is that, for a time, 60% of the public, long after it was known to be false, still believed that Saddam had indeed possessed WOMDs, and may have also believed Saddam to have been involved with 9/11.

Now, in their defense, Americans who believed such a lie may have been manifesting a symptom of war trauma, or PTSD: denial induced rationalization. But not the denial to which Bush is referrring - war denial. And not the rationalization both Bush and Gingrich seem to be, persistently, undertaking: that of WW III.

While with Gingrich it was Lebanon and a " prisoner of war " having been taken in 2006, for Bush, it's Iran's nuclear program.

The only denial here is that this regime is one largely predicated upon dictatorship, given that the 1983 Supreme Court censured the 1973 Congress that ended Vietnam, a separation of powers issue, while allocating to itself the power to immediately terminate another such " National Emergency," which had been predicated largely upon a 1948 National Emergency with respect to Korea, that Harry Truman failed to terminate prior to leaving office, a Gulf of Tonkin " incident," that served, much as 9/11, as plausible interventative pretext, and expansionst greed.

What did Vladimir Putin say about Madelaine Albright ? Her lust for Siberia is almost erotic ?

What that 1983 decision led to was the 1985 Congress passing legislation that would require Congress to possess two-thirds majorities in both Houses to terminate a National Emergency, which is the current War in Iraq, a majority that Congress does not have and probably cannot get prior to a Bush-Gingrich rhetorically inspired rampage en route to WW III.
