I encourage EVERYONE to seek out and watch P.B.S. "Frontline" "The Dark Side". In a factual, non-partisan, unbiased report about the C.I.A. and the justification to invade Iraq, It details how Dick Cheney carefully manipulated, "cherry-picked" and "spun" the intel about Iraq to justify his war. Remember the convincing speech given by Colin Powell...detailing those "mobile chemical weapons labs, those "aluminum tubes", that "Yellow-cake uranium"??? ALMOST THE ENTIRE SPEECH WAS WRITTEN BY DICK CHENEY'S #1 MAN .... INDICTED LIAR AND CONSPIRATOR "SCOOTER LIBBY"!!! The so-called "evidence" about the "chemical weapons labs" was from German sources who had SERIOUS doubts about it's authenticity, and who received it from only ONE source, a known liar and alcoholic. The"yellow-cake" uranium was similarly disputed by EVERY authority on the matter. When Bush was confronted about the falsehood of the uranium story, he claimed that C.I.A. director George Tenet had "reviewed and approved" the president's speech. Two days later, Tenet was to"fall-on-his-own-sword"..resigning from the C.I.A. "for personal reasons"!!!! Today, it was announced that a Bush cabinet member, who was the chief-procurement officer" for the G.S.A.(David H. Safavian) "pled guilty" to counts of conspiracy and bribery. It seems that he had had been supplying sensitive, secret information to JACK ABRAMOFF, about Government real-estate holdings.... a sort of "Insider-trading" so that Abramoff could "capitalize" with the help of various "Native American" investors, for properties on which he had inside information. This G.S.A. officer also was involved in the notorious "golfing trips to Scotland" taken by Abramoff. Bush's speech to justify his "pre-emptive" invasion of Iraq was written By "Scooter Libby"... Dick Cheney's SECRETARY!!! Just WHO do are we supposed to think WROTE that speech?? Dick Cheney should be blindfolded, and put before a "firing-squad"!!! Remember his claim about the "insurgency being in it's last throes"??? Tell that to the parent of the two American soldiers who were recently captured and DECAPITATED!! Statistics PROVE that attacks by insurgents are now being directed against Americans, at daily increasing levels. The death of Zarqawi is now signalling a change in strategy for the insurgents. Zarqawi had favored attacks directed toward Shiite civilians, to instigate a civil war. This strategy was NOT approved or favored by Al Queda leaders Zawahiri, and Bin Ladin. The new leader of Al Queda in Iraq is now shifting his attacks toward AMERICAN targets, in hopes that former Bathist Iraqis (Saddam's Republican Guard) will join and support ther insurgency. Informed experts now predict that we will see increasing numbers of American casualties in the coming months. Has ANYONE forgotten the lessons of the American Revolution?? How "guerilla" forces (insurgents) defeated THE MOST POWERFUL MILITARY ON EARTH??? Or the similar lessons of Viet Nam?? How "insurgents" killed tens-of-thousands of American soldiers in a "stale-mate"?? The current "policy" of "Stay the course" is OBVIOUSLY a mindless lie... THERE IS NO "COURSE", except that of enriching the "contractors", the corporations, and the oil-companies!! Yesterday, Karl Rove made a speech; refering to Democrats, he said that they "cut & run" and haven't the courage to "win" the war. Republican "talking-heads" in Congress mindlessly repeated his "talking-point"...using the "cut & run" phrase no less than 8 times in one day!! If I hear ONE MORE Republican say "cut & run", I'm going to punch them in the face!! Remember who was it who "cut & ran" from military service during Viet Nam???? EVERY MEMBER OF THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION!!! INCLUDING "DUBYUH-DUMBASS" HIMSELF!!! Their lies make me want to vomit!!!!
