Email from Someone in Denial About Bush's Lies:

Someone sent me an email today (see full text below) Here is my response:

You wrote, "I am going to have to take exception to your premise that Bush lied about the motive behind the 9/11 attack. During his first round of presidential debates , he clearly stated on national television , "Make no mistake , Israel is our friend."

Now what does that have to do with being dishonest about the motives for the 9/11 attacks? President Bush didn't say "Make no mistake, we are being targeted by terrorists because of our support for Israel." He went before the American people and had the audacity to lie about why we were attacked. Bush claimed, "America was targeted for attack because we're the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world." You should take note of the fact that Michael Scheuer, the former Chief of the CIA's Bin Laden Unit, says Bush is simply lying: The politicians really are at great fault for not squaring with the American people. We're being attacked for what we do in the Islamic world, not for who we are or what we believe in or how we live. And there's a huge burden of guilt to be laid at Mr. Bush, Mr. Clinton, both parties for simply lying to the American people." - Michael Scheuer, Former CIA Bin Laden Unit Chief

Your e-mail indicates to me that you are in deep denial. You simply don't like it being proven that President Bush is a liar. President Bush played the same game that 9/11 Commissioners played, they "rejected mentioning the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the report." Why? Because "In their view, listing U.S. support for Israel as a root cause of al Qaeda's opposition to the United States indicated that the United States should reassess that policy." So their priority, and President Bush's priority, was keeping the policy of US support of Israel from being reassessed rather than give a full and honest account of why it is that terrorists attacked the United States. Dishonesty about 9/11 motives robs Americans of the freedom to decide for ourselves if we want to put our lives at risk over specific foreign policies.

This is such a shameful violation of the American people. And this isn't the only life and death issue that Bush lies about. Bush lied or is insane or is so ignorant and incompetent that it isn't funny at all. Anyway you slice it, he is not fit to be commander in Chief. Bush thinks Saddam didn't let the inspectors in and that is why we attacked him! He has said it at least 3 times now and the media keeps letting him get away with it!

Do you realize how vile it is that Bush lies about why he attacked Iraq? So much for your "president who means what he says." You have to make an effort to stop living in denial. The stakes are too high. President Bush is telling flat out lies about Iran. Bush lied when he claimed that the President of Iran "threatened countries with nuclear weapons." Bush lied when he claimed that the President of Iran had said he "wants a nuclear weapon."

This is a gravely serious mater. We have seen the track record, Bush lies in order to justify starting wars. How about making an effort to protect our country instead of living in a dream world which places us at grave risk?

( I didn't even get around to responding to her petty comment about the price of the T-Shirts. The emailer doesn't like the message so she claims the shirts are "overpriced." I marked the price up by 50 cents, hardly an extreme profit margin. For example, the base price, the money which goes to Cafepress, is $8.99 and I add a measly 50 cents to that:

Subject: Alleged Bush Lie.

I am going to have to take exception to your premise that Bush lied about the motive behind the 9/11 attack. During his first round of presidential debates , he clearly stated on national television , "Make no mistake , Israel is our friend." GWB has never once retracted that statement. Perhaps Americans as a whole have become accustomed to politicians who say one thing , and do something different. Let me remind you that Osama Bin Ladin very clearly stated the attacks against the West were because of their support of Israel and Middle East policies which favor Israel. I can not understand why such a large number of Americans do not understand a president who means what he says. The hatred of the West for supporting Israel has been growing since the Carter administration. Are ye daft? Or just trying to sell overpriced Tshirts?

War Propaganda Tricking People

President Bush Pushes War Propaganda Tricking People Into Supporting An Attack On Iran

President Bush illegally attacked Iraq and his actions have put the United States at greater risk of terrorism. Please see this link and the links in the post: The Bush Administration is committing fraud again in order to sell another war to the American people. In particular take note of the link that shows that Bush was not telling the truth when he made claims that the intelligence was saying Saddam has weapons of mass destruction and his lie about Saddam and al-Qaeda. "On the issue of the Saddam regime's relations with terrorist groups, the intelligence community, in the assessments it produced on that subject, never judged that there was anything close to an alliance with al-Qaeda."

Also note, as unthinkable as it may be, that Bush does not even know or he is lying about the very reason he attacked Iraq: Bush thinks Saddam didn't let the inspectors in and that is why we attacked him! He has said it at least 3 times now and the media keeps letting him get away with it!

And now we have to worry this lunatic is going to attack Iran or will give a wink to Israel to attack Iran. In a recent article, Jonathan Cook, points out that Bush is telling a falsehood which serves a propaganda effort to push another war agenda, it is a lie which is told to sell the public on the outrageous idea of attacking Iran:
"What is the basis for Israel’s dire forecasts -- the ideological scaffolding being erected, presumably, to justify an attack on Iran? Helpfully, as George Bush defended his Iraq policies last month, he reminded us yet again of the menace Iran supposedly poses: it is “threatening to wipe Israel off the map”.

This myth has been endlessly recycled since a translating error was made of a speech Ahmadinejad delivered nearly two years ago. Farsi experts have verified that the Iranian president, far from threatening to destroy Israel, was quoting from an earlier speech by the late Ayatollah Khomeini in which he reassured supporters of the Palestinians that “the Zionist regime in Jerusalem” would “vanish from the page of time”.

He was not threatening to exterminate Jews or even Israel. He was comparing Israel’s occupation of the Palestinians with other illegitimate systems of rule whose time had passed, including the Shahs who once ruled Iran, apartheid South Africa and the Soviet empire. Nonetheless, this erroneous translation has survived and prospered because Israel and her supporters have exploited it for their own crude propaganda purposes." - Israel’s Jewish problem in Tehran - So why hasn’t Iran started by wiping its own Jews off the map? by Jonathan Cook

Bush is obviously trying to justify starting yet another war(for the public or even in his own mind, perhaps truth means nothing to him) . See this link: Bush is Ignorant and Extremely Dangerous (either way, either he knows he is telling falsehoods or he is ignorant, either way, the man is not fit to be commander in chief and he must be immediately stripped of the powers he has abused.) He must be stopped, we must demand that our representatives impeach him and remove him from office immediately. This is too dangerous a situation to allow to continue:

The Reckless and Dangerous Barack Obama

The Reckless and Dangerous Barack Obama
Obama: I would invade Pakistan over terror

“There are terrorists holed up in those mountains who murdered 3,000 Americans. They are plotting to strike again . . . If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf won’t act, we will.”

This is the same game Bush plays trying to exploit the emotions of Americans. And it isn't true that "there are terrorists holed up in those mountains who murdered 3,000 Americans." The fact is the 19 men who carried out the 9/11 attacks are dead and that includes the ring leader who piloted the first plane to crash into the WTC. Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the mastermind of 9/11, has been apprehended. Other than Osama bin Laden, there really aren't terrorists who were actually responsible for the 9/11 attacks. Certainly no need to invade a nuclear country in order to do what police can do and have done. Osama bin Laden is still lose but he can be apprehened through good police work, the way we got Khalid Shaikh Mohammed. The U.S. didn't use war, a war crime wasn't committed, in order to get Khalid Shaikh Mohammed. in order to get Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the mastermind of 9/11 so why this reckless talk from Obama? We certainly are not going to allow our politicians to violate international law and commit another war crime trying to get people simply belonging to "Islamic groups sympathetic to the Taleban or Osama bin Laden" as the article points out. Stop the policies which are wrong and support for terrorism against the U.S. will stop, you won't have Islamic groups motivated to attack. Obama's threat is as reckless or more reckless than Bush!

No way in hell should Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama be president.

Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich are the only two in the U.S. House of Representatives who voted against the horrible war propaganda resolution, H CON RES 21.
