Washington: It´s a strange thing if the majority of a country wants to get out of a senseless war and can do nothing about it. It´s even more than strange if the Parliament´s majority wants to get out of there and cannot do anything about it, too.
But it´s kind of absurd if media reports call the majority of their own Legislative Branch „loosers“ just because they are just beginning to fight for their country by fulfilling the will of the American People.The majority of American medias seems to represent the minority report of a President whose approval rate is at 31% (4).
In 2003 an invasion was started to topple the dictator Saddam Hussein whose foreign minister, Naji Sabri, was a CIA informant. (1)
Tyler Drumheller, the former chief of the CIA´s Europe division, said that on TV, „60 minutes“, April 23 in 2006. (2)
Drumheller revealed that in the fall of 2002, President Bush, Vice President Cheney, then-National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice and others were told by CIA Director George Tenet that Iraq´s foreign minister – who agreed to act as a spy for the United States – had reported that Iraq had no active weapons of mass destruction program.
DRUMHELLER: He told us that they had no active weapons of mass destruction program.
„60 MINUTES“: So, in the fall of 2002, before going to war, we had it on good authority from a source within Saddam`s inner circle that he didn`t have an active program for weapons of mass destruction?
DRUMHELLER: Yes.
„60 MINUTES“: There`s no doubt in your mind about that?
DRUMHELLER: No doubt in my mind at all.
„60 MINUTES“: It directly contradicts, though, what the President and his staff were telling us.
DRUMHELLER: The policy was set. The war in Iraq was coming, and they were looking for intelligence to fit into the policy, to justify the policy.
Sabri finally left Iraq during the 2003 invasion and got a safe passage to Cairo. He apparently now lives in Qatar.(1)
THE DEMOCRATS ARE WAY BEHIND
Washington Democrats` simply have no choice but to move forward – there are forced to.
The Republic of United States of America is close to the point of a 3-party Parliament. No need to cry, but still avoidably. Washington Democrats know that and finally they act like that.
Cindy Sheehan is on the move, Bernie Sanders is not anybody and there are millions who are fed up with silly excuses.
So if Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is on the offensive now to help the troops come home, he is also doing the best for himself.
Meanwhile, war lobby Republicans don´t get the point. Talking about „concerns“ concerns nobody.
There is no „if“ about some things in life – life, for example. There is no little death, no little pregnancy, no little war. It´s either black or white.
So if Republicans return home to their families these days they have to explain why American soldiers don´t and what for.
„I am disappointed,“ GOP Senator Lamar Alexander of Tennessee said. „Harry Reid needs to back off and stop playing politics.“ (3)
Well, he won´t and he knows why. Playing politics is his job. Playing stupid is not.
„This war was born in deception. At the highest levels of our government, it has been waged with incompetence and arrogance,“ Assistant Majority Leader Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.) said Wednesday in that very Night Of The Living Democracy.
„This war will not end if we rely on the insight or humility of this president. We … must speak for the American people. We must speak for our war-weary soldiers. And we must bring this war to an end.“
The Democrat Harry Reid:“You cannot fight against the future. Time is on our side.“
No doubt about that. The World is watching.
