"This man claims to be Christian, following the will of God, and then he misleads the whole nation on a totally fraudulent enterprise in Iraq that we should have never been attached to." -George McGovern

Seize a very tempting Iraq after you've deceived America with innuendo about WMDs and ties to terrorism. Kill over a hundred thousand people in a war of aggression. Show total incompetence in disturbing the Middle-East hornet's nest and then bungle the post-war: unleashing chaos and insurgency possibly civil war, turning Iraq into a seething, dangerous, terror-breeding hell on Earth. Add responsibility for torture and trailer trash insults to Islam - and, what do you know, his pastor probably still thinks he's a great guy.

Americans haven't a clue how just profoundly stupid Mr. Bush is because they don't know the inside story yet. But the extensive evidence of motive, premeditation and deceit, of crimes against humanity, brutal murder and destruction for imperial gain will come out - but Mr. Bush isn't worried cause he knows for sure how ... American Christianity really is.

New 'Deep Throat' needed for Iraq - Nixon rival
(Agencies)
Updated: 2005-06-03 09:54

The US media needs a modern-day "Deep Throat" within the administration of President George W. Bush to reveal how America was "misled" on Iraq, former presidential contender George McGovern said.

"We need someone like that who is highly placed to tell us what's really going on. We know that we were misled on Iraq," McGovern told Fox News Radio.

McGovern, a former senator, unsuccessfully ran against Richard Nixon for the White House in 1972.

Deep Throat, revealed this week as former FBI assistant director Mark Felt, acted as a source to The Washington Post newspaper, helping to bring down Nixon's presidency over the Watergate scandal in 1974.

"I wish there were somebody of the Deep Throat time in this administration who are aware of what's going on," McGovern told Fox News Radio.

"This war in Iraq, in my opinion is worse than anything Nixon did. I think Nixon deserved to be expelled from office in view of the cover-up that he carried on and the laws that he violated.

"But we have an administration in power now that led us to a war that is internationally illegal; it's a war that we are fighting with a country that has no threat to us that has nothing to do with the 9-11 attacks.

McGovern said Nixon was undoubtedly "tricky," but said of Bush: "This man claims to be Christian, following the will of God, and then he misleads the whole nation on a totally fraudulent enterprise in Iraq that we should have never been attached to."

16. No "Deep Throat" This Time Around.

Last time, Deep Throat was one of about a million enemies of Richard Nixon who was well-placed to funnel the information to W&B. This is why it was not confirmed for decades who Deep Throat actually was- even Nixon never knew for certain.

Bush and Rove have surrounded themselves with nothing but spineless sycophants with one possible exception: Powell.

If anything came out that truly damaged the Administration to the point where Congress actually started drawing up the Articles of Impeachment, all eyes would turn to Powell. It would be very dangerous for him to leak anything.

Not that I am saying Powell is some sort of hero or anything. Far from it. He helped cover up My Lai, so anything and everything about him is tainted with pure, gooey evil.

7. He makes a point that the people who vote for Bush are to blame too.

And I think he is correct. He makes a point that our energy consumption is sinful. Again I agree. But this might lead to more terrorism by helping terrorists rationalize killing American civilians. That scares the hell out of me!! Of course if I had been born in Iraq instead of the U.S., I'm sure I'd be terrified for my life and the lives of my loved ones. Bush has brought us so much bad karma, I'm afraid every American will pay for his deeds. Very sad.

The only way to fight Republicans is with money. Stop spending money at Republican establishments, if at all possible. Stop buying gas as much as possible. Cancel your cable TV. This can only do so much because they are raiding the treasury, but it really seems to be only only thing to do. These people are motivated by money. They wouldn't care if their mother was blown to bits, but they'd cry forever if they lost a dime.

15. Especially the second time.

They COULD have been excused the first time, but the SECOND time? An article in "The Guardian" the day after the last selection summed it up when it pretty much said "Are you people DAFT? OK, then, you want him, you GOT him! God Help the World!"

"Fool me once...Shame on You....Fool me twice...Shame on... You-Us-Uh....We won't get fooled again...."

18. He makes the false assumption that Bush was ever elected,

let alone twice, when there is so much evidence of election fraud.

The DNC's own report on the 2004 vote said they had no evidence of widespread fraud on DREs and that conclusion was based on the fact that THEY COULD NOT GET ACCESS TO THE MACHINES OR TO THE SOFTWARE.

8. Great link. Thanks.

9. The inside story really isn't all that inside, as DUers know...

Great to hear that from Mr. McGovern, though, and from Mr. Henderson.

[bvar22]

10. IIRC, the pastor of bush*s church....

...was STRONGLY AGAINST the bush* War on the Iraqi People.

I love your rants and your compiling of facts, documemtation, and libraries of information. The bush* pastor remark is a small thing. I'll try to find sources for an exact quote.

[Hissyspit]

11. I do remember that. Maybe his pastor in Washington thinks he's great.

Henderson says the pastor thinks * is a 'great guy,' and he may. Anyway, plenty of pastors around the country who think *'s just keen.

[LynnTheDem]

13. bush's pastor did indeed denounce bush's war of aggression as "unjust,

immoral and illegal". He also told bush he needs to repent.

But bush, being Almighty God Himself, knows religious doctrine better than his pastor, or in fact every major church & religious leader on the entire planet, of course.

[Clark2008]

12. I'm so proud I supported the same primary candidate in 04

as McGovern. It makes me feel as though I'm on the side of brass balls! :7

[passy]

14. That's just Communist Propaganda don't read it.

Save yourself, don't look in the mirror, you won't like what you'll see.

[LynnTheDem]

17. I have no problems whatsoever looking into any mirrors.

I said HELL NO to bush's illegal, unjust, immoral, illegal war of aggression on one of the most defenseless, weakest 3rd world nations on the planet.

I don't sleep well at night, as the names and images of the tens of thousands of the dead, the wounded, the lives forever destroyed march across my mind.

But mirrors I have no problems with.

[passy]

19. It is all but irony.

The looking in the mirror was not personal.
The article attacks the American way of waste as much as the administration.
This is what the don't look in the mirror part was about.
The fact that they are in Iraq is purely OIL based is it not.
We're hooked on OIL, and the powers that be know that.
They are the dealers we're the addicts.

And whether we want it or not we are the reason why the war is waged.

[LynnTheDem]

20. Agreed.

And any way we slice it, we -that is, the vast majority of the entire world- failed to prevent it.

[nicknameless]

21. I don't like that he painted Americans as being in agreement with

what the Bush cabal is doing.

Bush is hated by so many in this country. He wasn't elected, let alone re-elected. But Henderson makes it look like U.S. citizens are backing Bush and his morally/ethically bankrupt policies.

Those reading Al-Jazeerah need to know that the vast majority of Americans are opposed to this war.

How is Henderson furthering the objective of peace with this article?
...He needs to visit DU.
