The tragic bomb-assasination of Lebanon's Rafik Hariri is now being "disected", "second-guessed", "analyzed", and "speculated"... Not only by all of the world's journalists, but by the Bush administration as well. Bush has "re-called" America's ambassador to Syria; implying that Syria had something to do with the bombing. He is also considering "expelling" Syria's ambassador to the U.S. Virtually NO evidence has surfaced to suggest Syria's responsibility for this; yet Bush resorts to REMOVING diplomatic tools. His typical "Shoot-first-& ask-questions-later" attitude is again "rearing-it's ugly head". Think about the facts: Syria would not-likely provoke an American military-response with such an assasination. Also, Rafiki was very friendly with Saudi Arabia, it's Royal-Family, and made his vast fortune from road-building and contracting in Saudi Arabia. (Remember who-else made their fortunes from "road-building" and construction in Saudia Arabia?? None other than the Bin Ladin Family!!) Rafiki was not-only a business competitor to the Bin Ladins; but also very "cozy" with the Saudi Royals... A situation VERY un-pleasant to the likes of Al Queda and Ossama Bin Ladin. With the conflict in Palestine now on the "Back-burner"; it is not inconceivable that Al Queda sought to inflame matters in Lebanon; knowing that Bush is TOO STUPID to do anything but "Rattle swords". NO ONE, IN ANY MEDIA SOURCE has yet suggested that Al Queda is responsible!!! In an associated vein; The director of the C.I.A., Porter Goss, this week publically stated that "The war in Iraq has increased terrorist activites and recruiting". I TOLD YOU SO!!! George W. Bush preached, during his campaign, that he "would make America safer from terrorism". His lack of "vision", his simplistic "knee-jerk" policies, and "megalomania" have created the MOST DANGEROUS situation ever faced by our nation!! Today, it was also disclosed, that "prisoner-attrocites" were ALSO performed by American troops on prisoners being held in Afghanistan.... much like the crimes committed at Abu Graib prison in Iraq. Has anyone seen THIS story on FOX NEWS???? The F.C.C. is attempting to censure a P.B.S. documentary about Iraq; one that features "embedded" reporting of American troops... which contains "objectionable-language"; uttered in the heat-of-battle. Using it's "anti-obscenity" clout, P.B.S. stations are now faced with MASSIVE federal fines if they air the show un-edited. P.B.S. "Frontline" producers contend that such obscenities are an "integral part" of the documentary and must NOT be deleted. Since P.B.S. receives Federal-funding, they are at the mercy of the Neo-Con-controlled F.C.C. This seems oddly reminiscent of the "Censure" of the photos of American troops-coffins; The Bush "spin-meisters" will go to ANY lengths to deflect un-favorable depictions of The Iraq war..... Even to use the F.C.C. to "fine" P.B.S. if they air any "objectionable language". Is not the ENTIRE war "objectionable"????? Is not the MASSIVE deficit caused by this war "objectionable"??? Are not the Bush administration's catastrophic failures (see 9-11 warnings) "objectionable"???......................Dave www.votetoimpeach.org
