Finally, as promised, a Special Comment about the President's
cataclysmic deception about Iran.
---
There are few choices more terrifying than the one Mr.. Bush has left
us with tonight.
We have either a president who is too dishonest to restrain himself
from invoking World War Three about Iran at least six weeks after he
had to have known that the analogy would be fantastic, irresponsible
hyperbole -- or we have a president too transcendently stupid not to
have asked -- at what now appears to have been a series of
opportunities to do so -- whether the fairy tales he either created or
was fed, were still even remotely plausible.
A pathological presidential liar, or an idiot-in-chief. It is the
nightmare scenario of political science fiction: A critical juncture in
our history and, contained in either answer, a president manifestly
unfit to serve, and behind him in the vice presidency: an unapologetic
war-monger who has long been seeing a world visible only to himself.
After Ms Perino's announcement from the White House late last night,
the timeline is inescapable and clear.
In August the President was told by his hand-picked Major Domo of
intelligence Mike McConnell, a flinty, high-strung-looking,
worrying-warrior who will always see more clouds than silver linings,
that what "everybody thought" about Iran might be, in essence, crap.
Yet on October 17th the President said of Iran and its president
Ahmadinejad:
"I've told people that if you're interested in avoiding World War
Three, it seems like you ought to be interested in preventing them from
have the knowledge to make a nuclear weapon."
And as he said that, Mr.. Bush knew that at bare minimum there was a
strong chance that his rhetoric was nothing more than words with which
to scare the Iranians.
Or was it, Sir, to scare the Americans?
Does Iran not really fit into the equation here? Have you just
scribbled it into the fill-in-the-blank on the same template you used,
to scare us about Iraq?
In August, any commander-in-chief still able-minded or uncorrupted or
both, Sir, would have invoked the quality the job most requires: mental
flexibility.
A bright man, or an honest man, would have realized no later than the
McConnell briefing that the only true danger about Iran was the damage
that could be done by an unhinged, irrational Chicken Little of a
president, shooting his mouth off, backed up by only his own hysteria
and his own delusions of omniscience.
Not Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Mr. Bush.
The Chicken Little of presidents is the one, Sir, that you see in the
mirror.
And the mind reels at the thought of a Vice President fully briefed on
the revised Intel as long as two weeks ago -- briefed on the fact that
Iran abandoned its pursuit of this imminent threat four years ago --
who never bothered to mention it to his boss.
It is nearly forgotten today, but throughout much of Ronald Reagan's
presidency it was widely believed that he was little more than a
front-man for some never-viewed, behind-the-scenes, string-puller.
Today, as evidenced by this latest remarkable, historic malfeasance, it
is inescapable, that Dick Cheney is either this president's evil
ventriloquist, or he thinks he is.
What servant of any of the 42 previous presidents could possibly
withhold information of this urgency and gravity, and wind up back at
his desk the next morning, instead of winding up before a Congressional
investigation -- or a criminal one?
Mr. Bush -- if you can still hear us -- if you did not previously agree
to this scenario in which Dick Cheney is the actual detective and
you're Remington Steele -- you must disenthrall yourself: Mr. Cheney
has usurped your constitutional powers, cut you out of the information
loop, and led you down the path to an unprecedented presidency in which
the facts are optional, the Intel is valued less than the hunch, and
the assistant runs the store.
The problem is, Sir, your assistant is robbing you -- and your country
-- blind.
Not merely in monetary terms, Mr.. Bush, but more importantly of the
traditions and righteousness for which we have stood, at great risk,
for centuries: Honesty, Law, Moral Force.
Mr.. Cheney has helped, Sir, to make your Administration into the kind
our ancestors saw in the 1860's and 1870's and 1880's -- the ones that
abandoned Reconstruction, and sent this country marching backwards into
the pit of American Apartheid.
Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, Cleveland...
Presidents who will be remembered only in a blur of failure, Mr.. Bush.
Presidents who will be remembered only as functions of those who
opposed them -- the opponents whom history proved right.
Would that we could let this President off the hook by seeing him only
as marionette or moron.
But a study of the mutation of his language about Iran proves that
though he may not be very good at it, he is, himself, still a
manipulative, Machiavellian, snake-oil salesman.
The Bushian etymology was tracked by Dan Froomkin at the Washington
Post's website.
It is staggering.
March 31st: "Iran is trying to develop a nuclear weapon..."
June 5th: Iran's "pursuit of nuclear weapons..."
June 19th: "consequences to the Iranian government if they continue to
pursue a nuclear weapon..."
July 12th: "the same regime in Iran that is pursuing nuclear weapons..."
August 6th: "this is a government that has proclaimed its desire to
build a nuclear weapon..."
Notice a pattern?
Trying to develop, build or pursue a nuclear weapon.
Then, sometime between August 6th and August 9th, those terms are
suddenly swapped out, so subtly that only in retrospect can we see that
somebody has warned the President, not only that he has gone out too
far on the limb of terror -- but there may not even be a tree there...
McConnell, or someone, must have briefed him then.
August 9th: "They have expressed their desire to be able to enrich
uranium, which we believe is a step toward having a nuclear weapons
program..."
August 28th: "Iran's active pursuit of technology that could lead to
nuclear weapons..."
October 4th: "you should not have the know-how on how to make a
(nuclear) weapon..."
October 17th: "until they suspend and/or make it clear that they, that
their statements aren't real, yeah, I believe they want to have the
**capacity**, the **knowledge**, in order to make a nuclear weapon."
Before August 9th, it's: Trying to develop, build or pursue a nuclear
weapon.
After August 9th, it's: Desire, pursuit, want...knowledge technology
know-how to enrich uranium.
And we are to believe, Mr.. Bush, that the National Intelligence
Estimate this week talks of the Iranians suspending their nuclear
weapons program in 2003...
And you talked of the Iranians suspending their nuclear weapons program
on October 17th...
And that's just a coincidence?
---
And we are to believe, Mr.. Bush, that nobody told you any of this
until last week?
Your insistence that you were not briefed on the NIE until last week
might be legally true -- something like "what the definition of is is
-- but with the subject matter being not interns but the threat of
nuclear war.
Legally, it might save you from some war crimes trial... but ethically,
it is a lie.
It is indefensible.
You have been yelling threats into a phone for nearly four months,
after the guy on the other end had already hung up.
You, Mr.. Bush, are a bald-faced liar.
--
And more over, you have just revealed that John Bolton, and Norman
Podhoretz, and the Wall Street Journal Editorial board, are also
bald-faced liars.
We are to believe that the Intel Community, or maybe the State
Department, cooked the raw intelligence about Iran, falsely diminished
the Iranian nuclear threat, to make you look bad?
And you proceeded to let them make you look bad?
---
You not only knew all of this about Iran, in early August...
But you also knew... it was... accurate.
And instead of sharing this good news with the people you have
obviously forgotten you represent...
You merely fine-tuned your terrorizing of those people, to legally
cover your own backside...
While you filled the factual gap with sadistic visions of -- as you
phrased it on August 28th: a quote "nuclear holocaust" -- and, as you
phrased it on October 17th, quote: "World War Three."
---
My comments, Mr. Bush, are often dismissed as simple repetitions of the
phrase "George Bush has no business being president."
Well, guess what?
Tonight: hanged by your own words... convicted by your own deliberate
lies...
You, sir, have no business... being president.
---
Good night, and good luck.
Just a few of the comments from Information
Clearing House
lt doesn't matter if lran stopped their pursuit of nuclear
weapons in 2003 - their nuclear installations will be destroyed by the
US Air Force and its thousands of Cruise Missiles launched from all
over the place in another "Shock and Awe" attack. Their destruction is
imminent and it won't be long now. This decision was made long ago with
perhaps the inclusion of the UK and lsrael, but nobody knows for sure.
The die is cast and there will be no turning back. The annihilation of
lran is coming soon. Nobody knows what the aftermath will be like, but
it won't be any good. Just ask the people of lraq. God help us all and
save us from the United States Govt.
