CONFIRMED: Bush is the Terrorists' Puppet

[berni_mccoy]

We've all argued (correctly) here that Bush broke the law (many times). We've all been dissapointed with the lack of oversight of the enforcement of the law by Congress, the supposed representation of the people. And we've all been disgusted by Bush's outright defiance of the law of the land: The U.S. Constitution.

On 9/11, the terrorists sent us a message with their attack on the WTC: "Get you bases out of Saudi Arabia." That was Bin Laden's primary objective. He also wanted to hurt the U.S. economy, weaken our military, divide the people and take our freedoms away.

Bush had an opportunity to live up to his "Uniter" claim. And, for a short while, all of America was united. We all agreed that we must bring the terrorists to justice. This is why it was so confusing to half of America when we pulled out of Afghanistan, Mission NOT Accomplished, and redeployed to Iraq. Iraq had nothing to with 9/11 and posed no immediate threat to us. America divided into those (republicans) who believed that we need to take out every muslim-arab country and those (rest of Americans) who felt we should stay focused on capturing the terrorists and bringing them to justice. One of Bin Laden's secondary objectives accomplished.

After thousands of soldiers were killed or disabled in Iraq and nothing being accomplished except chaos, death and destruction, and a divided Iraq on the verge of civil war, Bush does exactly what Bin Laden wanted: we removed our military bases from Saudi Arabia. Bin Laden's primary objective accomplished. Another secondary objective was also accomplished: our great military has been severely weakened.

And finally, in an opportunistic power grab by the Bush administration, Bush was detaining U.S. citizens, extradicting suspects to countries where torture was the norm violating the Geneva Convention, and limiting free speech and privacy of individuals through the use of illegal programs. Under the Constitution, the Geneva Convention is a treaty by which the U.S. must abide. And many of the new laws and programs are in direct violation of the 1st and 4th Ammendments of the Constitution. Those are essential parts of the BILL OF RIGHTS. Bush's take on it: "The Constitution is a God Damned Piece of Paper". It was clear that Bush did not honor his oath to protect and uphold the Constitution. Congress did perform their duty to represent and protect the interest of the people. Our freedoms have been greatly limited by a President who is claiming he is King of the United States. And this isn't something that we are just saying: The U.S. Federal Court has RULED that Bush has BROKEN his OATH and VIOLATED THE CONSTITUTION. With our freedoms taken away, the last of Bin Laden's objectives have been accomplished.

It seems ironic when Bush stood on the deck of the aircraft carrier and proclaimed Mission Accomplished that it was true. The only problem is, by that time, it wasn't our mission. It was the terrorists.

1. We don need no stankin Constitution!

"I'm the Decider," said Bush... just becuz.

Seriously, I'm constantly reminded at the way the Brits
use law enforcement and intelligence to deal with
potential terrorists, while Bush uses a frying pan the
size of Babe the Blue Ox to bash anyone in any country
that might look like a terrorist, if they have oil.

2. Was there ever any doubt? Who profited most from the WTC thing?

a handful of uber-wealthy schmucks in the MIC and security industries and the oil companies, that's who.

4. The US did NOT "pull out of Afghanistan"...

...and "redeploy" to Iraq. We still have troops in Afghanistan.

That's the only I beef I have with what you've written here.

Personally, I believe that George W and Osama are the useful idiots of their families, and their agendas are the same. To kill off as many angry muslim men as possible. This would benefit both "sides" equally. I don't think the Bush Crime Family was all that concerned with keeping troops in Saudi Arabia, they would have removed them if the royals asked nicely. 9/11 was a gift from the Saudis to the Bush Crime Family, a gift that keeps on giving...
