Bush’s SotU Speech: Iran is a go
I’ve been busy, so no links or direct quotes this time…
In his State of the Union speech, Bush unabashedly declared the need for more war. According to him, we cannot sit idly by why “radical islam” plots to attack us, we must attack them first.
“Radical Islam” is the racist lie on which this phony war on terror is built. On the night of Sept 11th, Bush declared, “They hate us because we’re the brightest beacon of freedom,” establishing this lie that “wacko muslims hate us because we’re free”. That’s not why they hate us (mp3), if there is hatred for America, it’s because of our foreign policies around the world. Don’t take it from me, listen to former CIA Analyst Ray McGovern (mp3).
One glaring question to me is, why haven’t the Democrats called out Bush on this lie? Because they are the enablers. As we’ve seen over the past few years, the Democrats cannot call Bush on anything, especially the “war on terror”.
Cindy Sheehan was arrested for a t-shirt, demonstrating they don’t need the new “Patriot” Act to arrest “disruptors”… unfortunately it seems like she was set-up. Having her arrested made all the news stories about that, and while it’s good to expose their fascist tactics, there were no headline stories about protests in 100 different cities. Activists around the country are talking about Cindy’s arrest, when they should be trying to prevent the coming war with Iran. I hate to say it, but Cindy was used, and it seems that Lynn Woolsey was part of the scam- why did her staffers call around telling the media Cindy was going to go… so much so that she felt obligated.
