Taylor: I'm the whipping boy

[dArKeR]

Monrovia, Liberia - Liberian President Charles Taylor delivered a farewell address to a nation bloodied by 14 years of war, declaring himself "the sacrificial lamb" to end what he said was an American-backed rebel war against his besieged regime.

Taylor, sitting solemnly with folded hands, recorded the address in front of a Liberian flag at his home, for broadcast on the evening before he was to hand power to Vice President Moses Blah at one minute before noon on Monday.

"I do not stop out of fear. I do not stop out of fright. I stop out of love for you, my people," Taylor declared, adding, "I fought for you."


'I stop out of love for you, my people. I fought for you'
He accused the United States of arming Liberia's rebels, calling it an "American war" and suggesting it was motivated by US eagerness for Liberia's gold, diamonds and other natural reserves.

1. Libyan strongman Moammar Khadafy's boy Blah takes over

The inventor of the pre-emptive strike and foremost - before Bush - believer in the need to "control" Democracy by getting it down to one party and one leader - now has his great and good friend Blah, who hangs a portrait of Khadafy in his office and his home - in charge of Liberia.

Bush is really good at getting like minded leaders into power.

But Loyalty is not high on Bush's agenda as he had to remove the fellow installed by the US in the past - Taylor. Granted Taylor was evil, but I thought that only mattered if there was a gas or oil rig or pipeline at stake.

In any case another anti democracy believer in pre-emptive strikes at the "other" side is now in office.
