Addressing America’s “Deeper Malignancies”

June 12th, 2008 | Add a Comment

If you want to know what’s wrong with the foreign policy establishment in the United States, look no further than Condoleezza Rice’s article, “The New American Realism,” published in the July/August 2008 issue of Foreign Affairs.” Not only has the Council on Foreign Relations spread its pages wide open for an infamous interventionist — a lying and deceitful enabler of the Bush administration’s illegal, immoral unprovoked invasion of Iraq – it also readmitted Ms. Rice without requiring anything resembling a mea culpa for the crimes against humanity that have lowered her, the Bush administration and the United States to the depths of moral disrepute around the world. Why publish the words of a liar and alleged war criminal? Who takes her … Read entire article »

My Invitation to “The President’s Dinner,” Warmonger Podhoretz and Absurd Condi Rice

May 31st, 2007 | Add a Comment

Absurdity No. 1: On May 24, 2007, just a day after returning from Russia, I received my fifth consecutive invitation to the annual President’s Dinner, held in Washington, D.C. Signed by Mitch McConnell, the Senate Republican Leader, and John “crybaby” Boehner, the House Republican Leader, the form letter invitation opened as follows: “Dear Walter, They’ll be talking about this one for years. The 2007 President’s Dinner will mark the turning point for our Republican Party. On June 13th the most dedicated GOP leaders nationwide will gather under one banner and pledge a total commitment to victory in next year’s elections. Walter, will you join President Bush for dinner in Washington?” Judging by their form letter, Messrs. McConnell and Boehner are “betting” … Read entire article »

Bringing the “Perps,” Bush and Cheney, to Justice

January 3rd, 2007 | Add a Comment

U.S. v. Bush By Elizabeth de la Vega Seven Stories Press, 2006, Pp. 256. $14.95 According to President Bush, Saddam Hussein was brought to “justice,” when, after being sentenced to die by a kangaroo court, he was taunted before his hanging by petulant Shiite’s from Bush’s puppet regime inside the Green Zone — Baghdad’s Alamo, where the quislings can cower and nominally rule on behalf of “democratic” Iraq. Granted, Saddam was evil and his horrendous crimes demanded justice. After all, he gassed Kurds, executed hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis and launched unprovoked invasions of Iran and Kuwait, in violation of international law. Yet, the indignities and blasphemies attending Saddam’s hanging seem certain to inflame the civil war raging outside the Green Zone … Read entire article »

More Proof of Prewar Intelligence Manipulation by the Bush Administration

February 15th, 2006 | Add a Comment

Writing in the March/April 2006 issue of Foreign Affairs, Paul R. Pillar has launched a furious assault on the Bush administration for its manipulation of prewar intelligence about Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and links to al Qaeda. Mr. Pillar should know, because he was the CIA’s National Intelligence Officer for the Near East and South Asia (NESA) from 2000 to 2005. Most damaging is his assertion: “The administration used intelligence not to inform decision-making, but to justify a decision already made.” That decision, of course, was to invade Iraq. And, as we know, plenty of evidence exists — especially as provided by Bush administration insider, former Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill — to prove that the Bush administration … Read entire article »
