[Vision2020] The RNC's Exploitation of 9/11

[Loren Singh]

Neither the RNC nor the DNC will broach the subject of George W. Bush's
"Operation Iraqi Freedom,"
--i.e., the concept of unilateral pre-emptive warfare to effect régime
change--is in violation of the
United Nations Charter (to which both the U.S. and Iraq are signatories) as
well as international law.
The U.S. violated Iraq's sovereignty and territorial integrity, launched an
unprovoked
war of imperialist aggression, and refuses to end is military occupation of
the country even
when requested to do so by the puppet government that it installed through
the use of force.

Obama touts his anti-war stance as an Illinois state senator.
McCain--military adventurist that he is--
blindly accepts the Iraq war as a military "order," congratulates himself on
being an early
"surge" advocate (in contrast to Rumsfeld's "shock and awe" and Bush's
"mission accomplished").

Neither of the candidates questions the "faulty intelligence" that Bush,
Cheney, Rumsfeld,
Wolfowitz, Rove, and others used selectively to justify an imperialist war
they had already planned
well in advance of 9/11/2001. None of these war criminals has been taken to
task. And in that
the Democrats have been complicit, including John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi,
Hillary Clinton,
and Joseph Biden.

The U.S. has lost the moral high ground with unilateral pre-emptive warfare,
Abu Ghraib,
water-boarding, and Guantánamo. When Vladimir Putin and his KGB pals pulled
their number
on Abkhazia, South Ossetia, and Georgia and Bush, Cheney, McCain and the GOP
halleluyah chorus
sang "Foul!" in perfect harmony, their performance revealed the utter
absurdity of their miserable
excuse for political leadership.

In the past few days, the Republicans (Giuliani, Palin, McCain) have
resorted to mocking and
ridiculing Obama. McCain used the "anointed" metaphor, great poet that he
is. He conveniently
omitted application of that metaphor to George W. Bush, who has informed us
repeatedly
(and Sarah Palin agrees with him) that it was through divine revelation that
he made the
decision to launch his war of imperialist aggression against Iraq.

Oh, yes, and by the way--McCain used the expression "My friends..." eleven
times last night.

Pro Deo et patria--

Sic transit gloria mundi.
