Officials Speak Out Against Bush

Following are examples of officials speaking out about bad decisions President Bush is making, and has made during his administration.

1) Richard Clarke & Bio

Bush Attack on Richard Clarke

Quotes:

"Frankly, I find it outrageous that the president is running for re-election on the grounds that he's done such great things about terrorism. He ignored it. He ignored terrorism for months, when maybe we could have done something to stop 9/11. Maybe, we'll never know."

"The President dragged me into a room with a couple of other people, shut the door and said 'I want you to find whether Iraq did this' (referring to 9-11). The entire conversation left me in absolutely no doubt that George Bush wanted me to come back with a report that said Iraq did this."

"I said, We've done this before and there's no connection between Iraq and 9-11. He came back at me and said 'Iraq! Saddam! Find out if there's a connection' in a very intimidating way. I mean that we should come back with that answer in a report."

"We got together with FBI and CIA experts and wrote the report, and it was cleared before being sent to the President. It was sent and was bounced back to us by the National Security Advisor or Deputy saying 'Wrong Answer ... Do it again.'"

2) Paul O'Neill & Bio

Quotes:

"The President was caught in an echo chamber of his own making, cut off from everyone other than a circle around him that's tiny and getting smaller and in concert on everything - a circle that conceals him from public view and keeps him away from the one thing he needs most: honest, disinterested perspectives about what's real and what the hell he might do about it."

"this is the way Dick Cheney likes it"

"What became clear to me at that point is that the presence of me, Colin Powell, and Christie Whitman helped convince people that this would, actually, be an administration that would look hard for best solutions, without regard for which party had claimed an idea first or some passing political calculation."

"politics as it's now played is not about being right. It's about doing whatever's necessary to win. They're not the same"

"Bush demands a standard of loyalty - loyalty to an individual, no matter what"

"That's a false kind of loyalty, loyalty to a person and whatever they say or do, that's the opposite of real loyalty, which is loyalty based on inquiry, and telling someone what you really think and feel - your best estimation of the truth instead of what they want to hear."

"It was clear that Cheney and a handful of others had become a praetorian guard that encircled the President. In terms of bringing new, transforming ideas to the Oval Office, that store is closed."

"Greenspan made the comment "There was too much gaming of the system until it is broke. Capitalism is not working! There has been a corrupting of the system of capitalism." (pg 377)

3) Colin Powell & Bio

Quotes:

"There were some people in the intelligence community who knew at that time that some of these sources were not good, and shouldn't be relied upon, and they didn't speak up. That devastated me."

In reference to the infamous address he presented to the UN tarnishing his reputation, he said "Of course it will. It's a blot. I'm the one who presented it on behalf of the United States to the world, and it will always be a part of my record. It was painful. It's painful now."

4) John Murtha & Bio

Quotes:

"Our troops have become the primary target of the insurgency. They are united against US forces, and we have become a catalyst for violence. My plan calls for an immediate redeployment of US troops consistent with the safety of US forces."

5) Five Ex-Generals Speak Out - Calling for Bush to Fire Rumsfeld

*Marine General Anthony Zinni

"there is something wrong with military leaders unwilling to risk their careers by speaking up against disastrous ideas that come down from their civilian bosses"

*Marine Lt. Gen. Greg Newbold

*Army Major General Paul Eaton

"Rumsfeld is incompetent and chiefly responsible for the difficulties now facing the US mission in Iraq."

*General Eric K. Shinseki

"opposed Rumsfeld's plan to cut the Army strength by two divisions and the Army National Guard by four divisions in August 2001. Then in Feb 2003 Rumsfeld told a Senator at a hearing he thought it would require "several hundred thousand" American troops to successfully occupy and pacify Iraq. Rumsfeld got even with Shinseki by making him an "un-person" in the Pentagon, and leaked to the press their version of his comments. The Bush administration officials get even with anyone who disagrees with them and/or who speaks up."

*Major General John Batiste

"The Bush administration's handling of the Iraq War violated fundamental military principles including unity of command and unity of effort."

*Army Major General John Riggs

"Reminds me of General Harold Johnson who as furious with LBJ for wanting to fight the Vietnam War on the cheap and on the quiet. I was headed to the White House to resign, but stopped short knowing I would only be replaced by someone much worse."

Later in his life, he said "I count that as the greatest moral failure of my life. I should have resigned and fought the decision."

6) Tyler Drumheller & Bio

Quotes:

"The administration chose to ignore good intelligence"

"Before the US-led attack on Iraq in 2003, the White House ignored crucial information from Iraq's foreign minister that indicated Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction"

"The policy was set. The war in Iraq wsa coming, and they were looking for intelligence to fit into the policy."

"This was a policy failure, not an intelligence failure. I think, over time people will look back on this and see this is going to be one of the great, I think, policy mistakes of all time."

7) General Karpinski at Abu Ghraib Prison

8) General Anthony Zinni

9) Arlen Specter

10) Russ Feingold


11) Iraq - Same Mistakes Made as in Vietnam

12) James E. Hansen& Bio

"In my more than three decades in government, I have never seen anything approaching the degree to which information flow from scientists to the public has been screened and controlled as it is now."

"the administration wants to hear only scientific results that fit predetermined, inflexible positions"

13) John DiIulio & Bio

George Bush - Destructive Personality

In this conversation, Dr. Justin A. Frank, Psychoanalyst makes the case that President Bush has some serious mental problems that not only are endangering our country, but show he should be removed from office.

There are many different interviews with Dr. Frank about Bush. You can find them by doing a Google search on Dr. Frank.

Possible Motives for 9-11 Attack

Means: Dick Cheney was in charge on 9-11

Motive: Peak Oil

Opportunity: 9/11 War Games

For a summary of this website article, scroll down to the bottom where it is listed in bullet form.

History and Provocation of Wars

Following are some examples in history where provocation of war has occurred, and this makes me wonder if 9-11 was yet another occurrence. Look at the websites and decide for yourself.

Cuba

Operation Northwoods http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods

Vietnam (Gulf of Tonkin)

War Games Create Possible Confusion on 9-11

In May of 2001 Dick Cheney was placed directly in charge of managing the integration of all training exercises throughout the federal government and military agencies by presidential mandate.

On the morning of September 11, 2001 there were multiple training exercises of war games and terror drills. One of these drills was set up on the West side of downtown New York (Tripod 2). This exercise set up a command and control center that was configured exactly like the one that was lost in WTC 7.

It appears that Dick Cheney was one of the main government officials deciding that extensive war games would take place on 9/11. How interesting!

The US also had dozens of warnings from other governments and intelligence agencies indicating that terrorists were planning to hijack civilian aircraft and crash them into American targets.

The military is always having drills and war games, so one would also think they would be prepared for such an event. Since the WTC had been previously targeted in the 1990's, this site should have been one which should have been immediately protected.

The question becomes, is it just coincidence, or something more sinister, that these major scale war games were happening in NY, guided by Dick Cheney, on the same day that the events of 9-11 occurred?

Bush Personality Mimics the "Dry Drunk" syndrome

Dr. Katherine van Wormer is a Professor of Social Work at the University of Northern Iowa and is an expert in addiction. You can find her excellent article on the "dry drunk" syndrome at this website:

We all know that Bush admitted to having a drinking problem (and possibly cocaine) up until he was 40 years of age when he suddenly quit. After drinking heavily for this many years, one would logically think that a person would have done some damage to themselves, particularly to the brain. However, what also could follow is what this article speaks about. If you look at Bush's behavior, you can see many of the symptoms of this syndrome:

1) Grandiose behavior
2) A rigid, judgmental outlook
3) Impatience
4) Childish behavior (Example: His nicknames - Karl Rove "turd blossom"
http://politicalhumor.about.com/od/bushquotes/a/bushnicknames.htm
5) Irresponsible behavior
6) Irrational rationalization
7) Projection
8) Overreaction

Good Website on 9-11 Research

You can find the Website map at this location:

http://911research.wtc7.net/sitemap.html

This is one of the best sites I've found that gives good information about 9-11 and also makes the case for not believing the "9-11 Official Story" the government has promoted.

The Truth about 9/11 - One Guy's Experience at Ground Zero

When I first saw this I was skeptical, but after I read every page to the end, I believe this guy is telling the truth.

If someone will believe him, then many more would come forward and tell the truth of 9/11. The "official 9/11" scenario given by the White House is S***.

You must read this TO THE END, if you are to get the entire story. It is riveting, angering and I'm mad as hell after reading it.

Please do America a favor and get informed about 9/11 and the corruption of the current Administration in Washington.

Call for Term Limits in Congress

Since there is so much corruption in Washington, what can be done? It would be nice if there could be an overall cleaning house, but that's not practical, so what about term limits.

Power corrupts, and anyone who is allowed to stay in Congress and in government for a lifetime has the temptation to become corrupt. The "good ole boy" way of doing business also corrupts.

There are many calling for term limits.

A Repeat of Voting Fraud 2000 Florida, 2004 Ohio

Voting machines are made by Diebold, Inc. The CEO, Walden O'Dell, just happens to also be an avid supporter of George Bush. It appears his company has been given the contract to install voting machines in each of the States. The company has admitted that their machines can be hacked and are vulnerable to manipulation. Might this be the next voting irregularity to swing the vote one way or the other?

Read for yourself:

http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/2004votefraud_ohio.html

Note: Many voters in Ohio in 2004 complained they were left off the voters list or not allowed to vote. There were also complaints in Florida in 2000. We all know the corrupt debaucle that occurred in both elections putting a man into office, by a narrow margin both times, who is totally incompetent and has only his best interests in mind. So, will the same thing happen the next time an election occurs with the help of the Bush supporter's voting machines?

WAKE UP, AMERICA!

Christians Need to Wakeup and Think for Themselves

I grew up in a Christian family and know that many times Christians believe a dogma and don't consider anything else. It seems that many Christians lose the ability to do critical thinking as they become followers of a minister or a church, and thus fall into a place where they can be easily mislead.

Whether or not you believe the following things, you must educate yourself to the potential for them being true. There are too many things happening to be coincidence. You need to discern for yourself, but you must be educated first.

The current administration is a wolf in sheeps clothing, and Christians particularly need to wake up, as they are the ones who for the most part have voted Bush into office. Bush would have you think the evil in the world is gay-related, but you best look closely, as the messenger is the truly evil one.

The information below is mind boggling and appears to be true evil at work, and Christians are unknowingly supporting the current administration. Please think for yourself and read the links and ask yourself, "Could this be true?"

So many are leaving their posts in this Administration

If you look at all the cabinet members and others who have left this administration, why is it they are leaving in droves? It certainly doesn't mean they are happy with the administration. It's more likely they realize they can't work with this particular President, and don't agree with his dishonest ways, and their conscience has gotten the best of them.

I would hate to be one of these people who have left, who know the deceit going on, but say nothing. They must live with that knowledge the rest of their lives. How can they not speak up?

Who will stand up? Where does loyalty to the American people come into play?

Something is very wrong in this administration, and the people in power who could do something sit on the sidelines and allow it to happen. To me, you are just as guilty.

There should be no loyalty when deceit is present.

Power indeed corrupts, and the question is Who can fix it?

Bush talks about values, principles, and morals, but totally does the opposite. Shame on him and the party who defends him.

America needs to wake up before it's too late!



Paul O'Neill - Secretary of Treasury:

Book: "The Price of Loyalty - George W. Bush, the White House, and the Education of Paul O'Neill" (Excellent Book)

I attempt to highlight some points in this book at:

http://www.itsallpolitics.com/inside-look-at-bush-quotthinking-quot-from-early-days-of-vt15124.html

Good Ole Boy Network Must Go

Bush brought his "good ole boys" with him to the White House. This old way of doing things must go. There is an unspoken rule among "good ole boys" that loyalty is mandatory. Loyalty when used the correct way is good, but are we still loyal when we see things being done that are not right, are unethical and not good for America? Common sense says, No way!

As you know, Bush demands loyalty from his administration. The word "loyalty" to Bush means "do as I say, don't ask questions, even if it's harmful to the nation". Does Websters really need to change the definition? The real question is, when will some of these "good ole boys" and his party see the writing on the wall that their President has deceived even them, and controlled them to the extent they are "deer in the headlights" and have no voice.

The "good ole boy network" must go, as it is dysfunctional and doesn't allow for free thinking, independent thought or calling someone on their untrustworthy actions.

Will you really be loyal to this Administration and standby and watch the Country fall? I surely hope not.

Is our President truly religious?

The Bible says "by their fruits you will know them".

Well, from what we've seen of George Bush, his fruit is rotten. He gives a whole new meaning to the word "christian". His view seems to be that he can lie, cheat, deceive in the name of God. I really don't think God would agree.

Now it's time for a new election, and Bush and his cronies are pulling out the gay bait again to scare the religious right into voting for them again. If you vote with him this time, shame on you. Can you not see that he has no respect for your wishes, you are just a vote to him? He ignores you until it's time for another election.

A real Christian would not act like this President. Behind the scenes this man is out of control and very controlling with his people. Does he have them so afraid of him they can't stop him? Read for yourself at how Christian your president is and his complete disrespect for the US Constitution:

http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artman/publish/article_8663.shtml

http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artman/publish/article_7779.shtml

We need a true HERO to stand up to this administration. Is there no one in his own party who will do this? It must start with his own. Even "good ole boys" have a conscience don't they? Well, it's time to use it.
