No consequences for Bush Jr?

When Bill Clinton, "the man from Hope," took the White House one of the things he did not put on his agenda was a serious investigation into the vast criminal enterprise operated by George Bush, Sr. that went by the name Iran/Contra.

Bush Sr. who belonged in jail on many counts walked away scott free.

Since Clinton left the White House, it's obvious that he and Bush Sr. are the best of friends playing golf together and posing for numerous photo ops.

Is Obama going to go after the vast criminal enterprise Bush Jr. presided over.

The message is loud and clear. He will not.

What do you call the form of government where the chief executive can break serious laws repeatedly causing grave harm to the nation without consequences of any kind?

On the other hand, can Bush pardon himself in advance for murder? I don't think so.

Why a murder indictment against Bush is not only realistic, it's also advisable.

Excerpt from "American Drug War"

George Bush Sr. has been involved in this since Day One and was the driving force behind Iran-Contra.

Gary Webb, who broke this story, was demoted by his newspaper, the San Jose Mercury, and driven out of journalism by his "colleagues."

The Washington Post, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and the San Francisco Examiner all ran multi-page stories personally discrediting him.

Webb later committed suicide by shooting himself in the head - twice.

Don't Look Now--but the Surge is About to Backfire as Iraq poised to Explode

The second is in the west, and Anbar, where the US-backed Sons of Iraq sahwa (”Awakening”) movement is moving to take power against the Iraqi Islamic Party, a fundamentalist Sunni bloc. And third is the restive Mahdi Army of Muqtada al-Sadr, which is chafing at gains made by its Iranian-backed rival, the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq (ISCI)
The final crisis-to-be is the Sadr vs. Badr one. The Times today suggests that Sadr is weakening:

The militia that was once the biggest defender of poor Shiites in Iraq, the Mahdi Army, has been profoundly weakened in a number of neighborhoods across Baghdad, in an important, if tentative, milestone for stability in Iraq.

Don’t believe it. Sadr’s rivals, ISCI, don’t have anything like the popular base that Sadr has. And underneath Sadr is a volatile mix of neighborhood, local and regional militias, mosques, and econom

While everyone’s looking at Iraq’s effect on American politics — and whether or not John McCain and Barack Obama are converging on a policy that combines a flexible timetable with a vague, and long-lasting, residual force — let’s take a look instead at Iraqi politics. The picture isn’t pretty.

Despite the Optimism of the Neocons, which has pushed mainstream media coverage to be increasingly flowery about Iraq’s political progress, in fact the country is poised to explode. Even before the November election. And for McCain and Obama, the problem is that Iran has many of the cards in its hands. Depending on its choosing, between now and November Iran can help stabilize the war in Iraq — mostly by urging the Iraqi Shiites to behave themselves — or it can make things a lot more violent.

There are at least three flashpoints for an explosion, any or all of which could blow up over the next couple of months. (Way to go, Surgin’ Generals!)

Background

False flag attack planned
for the Montreal Metro?

"There are thousands of us in Montreal who know what happened on 9/11 and in London on 7/7 and if there is an attack on the Metro (the local mass transit system), we're not going to believe you when we try to tell us it was Al-Qaeda or Iran."

Verint, the "security" company that enabled the false flag attack in London on 7/7, has just set up shop in the Montreal Metro.

Meanwhile, the news media is Montreal has been working overtime to run stories about how "dangerous" the Metro is and why it "needs" this new camera system.

Montreal is not part of the TV-addled United States. The kind of BS that flies in the States won't fly there as this preemptive message from its citizen to the City Council (and whoever else is listening) demonstrates.

The use of military bases in Iraq to project U.S. power into the region to carry out regime change in Iran and elsewhere had been an essential part of the neoconservative plan for invading Iraq from the beginning.

The Bush administration raised the objective of a long-term military presence in Iraq based on the "Korea model" last year at the height of the U.S. celebration of the pacification of the Sunni stronghold of Anbar province, which it viewed as sealing its victory in the war.

But the Iraqi demand for withdrawal makes it clear that the Bush administration was not really in control of events in Iraq, and that Shiite political opposition and Iranian diplomacy could trump U.S. military power.

Consequences

Bush continues to push for an attack on Iran.

He is goaded by the Israeli War Lobby, the "religious" right, and other assorted domestic fascists and lunatics.

Iran is not Iraq.

Iran is a bigger country, a better armed country and a much more socially cohesive country than Iraq ever was - or could be.

Iran is PERSIA, a society with thousands of years behind it. Iraq was a glued together set of random kingdoms.

Iran is a country that has the ability to fight back and fight back massively.

As in Iraq, the weapons of mass destruction claim is a total fraud - and yet to war we go.

McCain is all for it. He can't wait. Obama is being artfully vague about his intentions.

And then there's Bush and Cheney. They still have nearly six months left to put the final bullet in the back of America's head before they go.

U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice warned Iran on Thursday that the United States will not back down in the face of Iranian threats against Israel.

Iran answered hours later with another round of missile tests.

Iranian state television reported Thursday that the missiles, fired Wednesday and again overnight, demonstrated that the country can defend itself against an attack by Israel or the United States. The weapons included missiles launched from naval ships in the Persian Gulf, along with torpedoes and surface-to-surface missiles, the broadcast said.

Earlier Thursday, Rice closed her three-day European trip with words of warning: “We are sending a message to Iran that we will defend American interests and the interests of our allies.”

Such a missile defense system “will make it more difficult for Iran to threaten and ... say terrible things, because their missiles won’t work,” Rice said.

James Baker and Warren Christopher, two former secretaries of state, have set forth a new plan to streamline the role of Congress in declaring war. There's only one problem. Congress doesn't want to streamline its role in declaring war, because, for all its bluster (not to mention its constitutional responsibility), Congress doesn't want to be held politically accountable for the results. I first became aware of this phenomenon 21 summers ago while covering a House debate on the use of Navy convoys to escort 11 Kuwaiti oil tankers through the Persian Gulf. Iraq and Iran were at war, and although the United States didn't officially take sides, this military action reflected our government's quiet tilt toward Saddam Hussein's Iraq. (For more about this furtive and little-remembered near-alliance, which compelled President Reagan to soft-pedal Saddam's use of chemical weapons, click here.)

Ill-tempered neo-con extraordinaire, John Bolton, is pushing for war with Iran. On Sunday, June 22, he predicted longingly to FOX News that Israel would wait until after the November 4th general election to launch an attack on Iran. "[T]he most likely period," he said, "is after our elections and before the inauguration of the next President." Of course, conflict between Israel and Iran, Bolton hopes, would entangle the U.S. – and the next presidential administration – in full-scale war with Iran as well.

Other Democratic leaders, however, are taking a stand. Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) has warned the Bush administration that a drive for war with Iran could prompt impeachment hearings. Wrote Conyers in a letter to Bush last May: "[I]t is our view that if you do not obtain the constitutionally required congressional authorization before launching preemptive military strikes against Iran or any other nation, impeachment proceedings should be pursued."

I will never understand this fascination some Republican politicians have with joking about killing people. It must be something that appeals to the Republican electorate because both of the past two Republican Presidential nominees have done this. Then Governor and Presidential candidate George W. Bush joked about the execution of Karla Faye Tucker and mocked her pleading for her life as discussed in this Slate article http://www.slate.com/id/2131451/ saying "Please," Bush whimpers, his lips pursed in mock desperation, "don't kill me."

In April 2007, Senator John McCain, the Republican Presidential Nominee answered questions about possible military action against Iran by joking about bombing them. As stated in this MSNBC report, http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18202742/ "In response to an audience question about military action against Iran, the Arizona senator briefly sang the chorus of the surf-rocker classic “Barbara Ann.”

Senator Barack Obama said Thursday that he might “refine” his policies for Iraq after meeting with military commanders there later this summer. But hours later he held a second news conference to emphasize his commitment to the withdrawal of all combat troops from Iraq within 16 months of taking office.

His two statements in Fargo, N.D., reflected how the changing dynamics in Iraq have posed a challenge for Mr. Obama, who is trying to retain flexibility as violence declines there without abandoning a central promise of his campaign: that if elected, he would end the war.

His remarks came as Republicans — including his all-but-certain opponent this fall, Senator John McCain of Arizona — have been arguing that Mr. Obama would most likely change his position on the phased withdrawal. They suggest that with violence dropping in Iraq, bringing the troops home would risk erasing the fragile gains that have been made.

The evolving situation in Iraq has, in fact, tested both candidates.

Congress and President Bush kept their pledge to boost defense assistance for Israel despite deadlock on budget issues.

The final version of the supplemental appropriations bill passed last week in Congress includes an additional $170 million in defense assistance for Israel. Bush signed the bill Monday.

The sum will be added to $2.38 billion for Israel in a "continuing resolution" likely to be passed later this year, bringing defense assistance up to the $2.55 billion that President Bush promised last year.

"The U.S. commitment to maintaining Israel's qualitative military edge is the cornerstone of American policy in the region," the American Israel Public Affairs Committee said in a statement. "The effort to secure this vital increase in American aid to our ally Israel could not have happened without the active support of the bipartisan leadership of the House and Senate, and AIPAC applauds their effort."

Sy Hersh report

Bush asked for - and received - $400,000,000 to conduct covert military operation against Iran.

"Operations outside the knowledge and control of commanders have eroded â€œthe coherence of military strategy,â€ one general says."

Further, it seems the only people in the government (or military) who favor an attack on Iran are Bush and Cheney:

The Joint Chiefs of Staff, whose chairman is Admiral Mike Mullen, were â€œpushing back very hardâ€ against White House pressure to undertake a military strike against Iran, the person familiar with the Finding told me. Similarly, a Pentagon consultant who is involved in the war on terror said that â€œat least ten senior flag and general officers, including combatant commandersâ€â€”the four-star officers who direct military operations around the worldâ€”â€œhave weighed in on that issue

Beyond these individuals, the manipulative techniques that were refined in the 1980s — especially the skill of exaggerating foreign threats — have proved durable, bringing large segments of the American population into line behind the Iraq War in 2002-03.

Only now — with more than 4,100 U.S. soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis dead — are many of these Americans realizing that were manipulated by clever propaganda, that their perceptions had been managed.

For instance, the New York Times recently pried loose some 8,000 pages of Pentagon documents revealing how the Bush administration had manipulated the public debate on the Iraq War by planting friendly retired military officers on TV news shows.

Retired Green Beret Robert S. Bevelacqua, a former analyst on Murdoch’s Fox News, said the Pentagon treated the retired military officers as puppets: “It was them saying, ‘we need to stick our hands up your back and move your mouth for you.’” [NYT, April 20,

As historians ponder George W. Bush’s disastrous presidency, they may wonder how Republicans perfected a propaganda system that could fool tens of millions of Americans, intimidate Democrats, and transform the vaunted Washington press corps from watchdogs to lapdogs.

That chapter — which we are publishing here for the first time — was “lost” because Republicans on the congressional Iran-Contra investigation waged a rear-guard fight that traded elimination of the chapter’s key findings for the votes of three moderate GOP senators, giving the final report a patina of bipartisanship.

The American people thus were spared the chapter’s troubling finding: that the Reagan administration had built a domestic covert propaganda apparatus managed by a CIA propaganda and disinformation specialist working out of the National Security Council.

“The State Department was used to run a prohibited, domestic, covert propaganda operation.
