|    If Tony Blair is the world's worst terro    |

      XPost: soc.culture.china, soc.culture.usa, soc.culture.iraq       XPost: soc.culture.british, soc.culture.syria, soc.culture.african       XPost: rec.sport.tennis       From: acoustic@panix.com               World's Worst Terrorist (see the video embedded in this article):               Sister of a British soldier killed in the Iraq War said she wanted        the world to know:               "I know there's one terrorist in this world the world needs to be        aware of. His name is Tony Blair. The world's worst terrorist."              And while this British woman's suffering was heart-rending, it barely       begins the counting of all the suffering of the Iraqi people who have       lost their loved ones because of the Bush-Blair aggression against       Iraq and their decision to purge the Ba'athists. Imagine that those       who have lost one or more loved ones are beginning to sue Bush and       Blair in court for their wrenching losses.              While the British people are asking a lot of questions about Iraq War,       the American people are still being herded along with the Bush line       that we should trust him and his successors to take their quixotic "War       on Terror" to "them" while we sheeple "safely" go shopping, whether       it's actually safer than before or not.              It's clear that Bush lied about what was happening in Iraq in order       for him to obtain the fig leaf he needed to start the shooting spree.              And it's equally clear that Bush was lying and at the same time trying       to convince the world that he was not.              Recently I posted a message about Bush's attempted song and dance       telling us to "imagine a world in which Saddam were still around".              As he repeated for the umpteenth time the unfounded connection between       the 9/11 attacks and Saddam that he and his administration concocted,       a reporter asked him what the WTC attacks had to do with Saddam.               "What did Iraq do to what?" Bush asked.               "Attack on the World Trade Center..." (Reporter's words)               "Nothing! Except for - it's part of - and nobody has ever suggested        in this administration that Saddam Hussein had ordered the attacks..."              Bush's fairytale time was rudely interrupted. What was the fairytale?               Bush:        "imagine a world in which Saddam Hussein was there and stirred        up even more trouble in a part of the world that ah... that has so        much resentment..." (strongly jerking his head to emphasize the "so        much") "... so much hatred, that people come here and killed three        thousand of our citizens."               "... part of the reason why we went into Iraq, ah, was ah, the main        reason we went in Iraq at the time was we thought he had weapons of        mass destruction at the time. ... He didn't, but he had the capacity        to make weapons of mass ..." (trailing/unintelligible slurred words        that quickly segued to the next sentence). "I also talked about the        human suffering of Iraq. And I also talked about the need to        advance the freedom agenda. So, my question is... my answer to your        question is that imagine a world in which Saddam Hussein was there        and stirred up even more trouble in a part of the world that ah...        that has so much resentment..." (strongly jerking his head to        emphasize the "so much"), "... so much hatred, that people came here and        killed three thousand of our citizens."               "You know, I heard this theory, you know, that everything was just        fine until we arrived... you know, that kind of        stir-up-the-hornet's-nest theory."               "This is, this... just doesn't hold water... as far as I am        concerned."               "The terrorists attacked us and killed three thousand of our        citizens before we started the freedom agenda in the Middle East.        They were..."              And that's when Bush's fairytale was interrupted. The next three       lines tells us vividly why there are so many truthers out there       questioning Bush's Iraq War:               "What did Iraq do to what?"               "Attack on the World Trade Center..." (Reporter's words)               "Nothing! Except for - it's part of - and nobody has ever suggested        in this administration that Saddam Hussein had ordered the attacks..."              But the MSM has been carefully covering up for Bush - until this       campaign season.              Now Trump is doing the American people a great service by courageously       bringing up repeatedly what a mess Bush has left the world in. Bush       pretended that he didn't stick his hand in a hornet's nest - but       everyone else except the sycophants have noticed the dishonest act.              When someone in the press corp asked him what his fairytale had to do       with attacking Iraq, Bush literally screamed, saying that "no one in       his administration has" accused Saddam of ordering the WTC attack.              Yet that was exactly the subject of Bush's fairytale about Iraq:               They killed thousands of us in one day.               They harboured so much hatred and resentment.               There is so much suffering in Iraq.               ...              On and on.              Bush's hand was seen in the cookie jar right there. But he thought       that he wasn't lying if "no one from his adminstration" ever called       that jar a "cookie jar", yeah, that's right! ...:)              Naturally, the NYT and other MSM have decided that Bush is still worth       protecting. So their current response to the Trump campaign is that       he has "praised" Saddam and has done it again - that's just a no-no!              So, while the Britons are beginning to wake up, we the Americans are       still slumbering deeply.              And so, while the Britons want to see Blair in court, the Washington       powers-that-be are making sure that Hillary Clinton will be Bush's       reliable successor. Hillary has made it known that she will be the       warlike neocons' water girl - saying that she will fight Syria's Assad       and Russia's Putin at the same time, should she be the next occupant       of the White House.              It's true that she claims that she now regrets her US Senate "yes"       vote for the Iraq War. But her regret no doubt is just a gesture       intended only to fool her Democratic constituency.              In fact, why did she have to announce her hostility toward Putin now       since she will presumably have a ton of advisors to help her make a       decision later when she becomes president - Democratic voters aren't       so keen to fight Putin, are they?              I suspect that Hillary thinks it more important to reassure the       neocons that she will be their girl. And it has been working too -       Republicans in Washington as well as the MSM have been super nice to       her as they pummel Trump everyday for every statement he makes.              But Hillary's regret is clearly a deception.              If she were truly contrite, she would "sin no more", as Jesus has       taught those who came to him for advice.              Hillary's hawish/militaristic approach to Russia and Syria means only       one thing: her regret has taught her nothing from the evil Iraq War       she helped made possible.                     [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
