Sounding the Alarm: Stop the War President Now

Sounding the Alarm: Stop the War President Now
Help Support the Campaign to Stop the War President!
Stop the War President Before He Attacks Again Impeach Him and the VP
Tell them you will not stand for another war!
Tell them you will not stand for another war!"I am pleased that we have taken time from our schedules to come to the floor tonight to sound the alarm. The saber rattling is going on by this administration. The remarks that we're hearing day in and day out are more accusatory toward Iran.

... we all know that U.S. strikes against Iran would be disastrous.

Middle East experts generally agree that Iran would respond to a U.S. strike by attacking U.S. and Israeli interests throughout the region and possibly globally. These strikes would lead to a greater Middle East war, including greater loss of life, financial burden, over stretch of our military and worse.

We're sounding the alarm this evening and we are sending a message to the President of the United States of America and to the Vice President, particularly now to the Vice President, who, when he was reminded by an ABC News reporter that the recent polls show that two-thirds of Americans say the fight in Iraq is not worth it, his response was, "and so?" Well, Mr. Vice President, our "and so" to you tonight is, and so the American people do not want us to continue this war in Iraq and to air strike in Iran. We're sounding the alarm.

We are made to believe that we are somehow being placed at a great threat by Iran.

And so we know where this is going. We know what this means, and we're saying, we must not rule out diplomacy. ...

We know that we've still got work to do on Iraq. We've still got to make many Members of this House feel comfortable with the idea that they can confront their President, that they can still be very, very patriotic as they stand up against war ...

We know that the work has to be done, but we've got to add to that work the fact that we can stop an airstrike on Iran and we can stop the notion that somehow we must send more soldiers in." - Rep. Maxine Waters April 15, 2008

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:

Full text of email I received:

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:

Bush is Ignorant and Extremely Dangerous
Stop the 'War President' before he starts WWIII.

PELLEY: What would you say right now in this interview to the Iranian president about the meddling in Iraq?

BUSH: I'd say, first of all, to him, "You've made terrible choices for your people. You've isolated your nation. You've taken a nation of proud and honorable people, and you've made your country the pariah of the world. You've threatened countries with nuclear weapons. You've said you want a nuclear weapon.

Ahmadinejad was talking about a political change, he has made that clear: "As the Soviet Union disappeared, the Zionist regime will also vanish"
He is talking about a regime change towards democracy, he is not talking about bombing. The example of the Soviet Union makes clear what he has been saying all along.

The media is manipulating you

Ahmadinejad wrote in his letter to Bush, "are we to understand that allowing the original inhabitants of these lands - inside and outside Palestine - whether they are Christian, Muslim or Jew, to determine their fate, runs contrary to principles of democracy, human rights and the teachings of prophets?" THE MEDIA DIDN'T REPORT THAT PART OF HIS LETTER!

warning

"The results of an attack on Iran could be horrendous. After all, according to a recent study of "the Iraq effect" by terrorism specialists Peter Bergen and Paul Cruickshank, using government and Rand Corporation data, the Iraq invasion has already led to a seven-fold increase in terror. The "Iran effect" would probably be far more severe and long-lasting. British military historian Corelli Barnett speaks for many when he warns that "an attack on Iran would effectively launch World War III." - Noam Chomsky

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

"I object to resolutions that lay the groundwork for an offensive, unprovoked war. The resolution passed by the House today sets a dangerous precedent in foreign affairs. A mistranslation could become a cause of war. The United States House may unwittingly be setting the stage for a war with Iran." - Dennis Kucinich (D)

"I rise in strong opposition to this resolution. This resolution is an exercise in propaganda that serves one purpose: to move us closer to initiating a war against Iran." - Ron Paul (R)

US Can't Win Iraq War Because Most Iraqis Oppose US Troops

US Can't Win Iraq War Because Most Iraqis Oppose US Troops

"In all, 83% of Shiites and 97% of Sunni Arabs oppose the presence of coalition forces in Iraq; 75% of Kurds support them. By more than 3 to 1, Iraqis say the presence of U.S. forces is making the security situation worse."

"I think probably the Iraqi people understand the situation there better than those who are advocating to continue on the current course after we have lost the support and the confidence of the Iraqi people. And you can't win without it."- Lt. Gen. Robert Gard (Ret.) US Army

An Entirely Different World of Reality than Bush and Cheney

"You can listen to simplistic statements of the administration, appealing to emotion and fear, or you can take an analytical approach and see the reality of the world. I live in an entirely different world of reality than President Bush, Vice President Cheney and other members of the administration." - Brig. Gen. John Johns (Ret.) U.S. Army
