Constitution`s Checks, Balances Failing As Bush Prepares Iran Attack

On May 15, the White House Moron, in a war-planning
visit to Israel, justified the naked aggression he and
Olmert are planning against Iran as the only alternative
to “the
false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly
discredited by history.”

But the White House Moron has the roles reversed.  It
is not Iran that is threatening war.   It is Bush.  It
is not Bush who is appeasing.  It is Iran.  

Iran has not responded in kind to any of Bush`s
warlike moves and provocations.  Iran has not sunk a
single one of our sitting-duck ships and has not given
the Iraqi insurgents any weapons that would easily turn
the tide of war against the US. 

It is Bush, not Iran, who sounds like Adolf Hitler
blustering and threatening.  It is Bush`s American
Brownshirts, the

neocons, who express the view: “what`s the good
of nuclear weapons if you can`t use them.”  

It is the US that is funding assassination teams
inside Iran and using taxpayer dollars to fund dissident
and violent organizations opposed to the Iranian
government.  Iran is doing no such thing here.

It is members of the Bush Regime and US generals who
continue to lie through their teeth about Iranian
support for insurgents, for which they can supply no
evidence, and about Iranian nuclear weapons programs,
for which the IAEA inspectors can find no sign.  

It is the US print and TV media that serves the Bush
Regime as propaganda ministry for its lies of
aggression.

All the war crimes that are being planned are being
planned by Bush and Olmert.

What would George Orwell make of the Bush Regime`s
position that anything less than a direct act of naked
aggression is appeasement?

The Chicago City Council has passed a

resolution “opposing any US attack on Iran and
urging the Bush Administration to pursue diplomatic
engagement with that nation.”  But the White House
Moron says diplomacy is appeasement.  He learned this
false equivalence from the neocon Brownshirts whose
control over his administration has made America
despised throughout the world, with the exception of
Israel.

After broadcasting false claims for weeks from US
generals and Bush Regime spokespersons that the US has
“definite proof” in the form of captured Iranian
weapons that Iranians were “responsible for killing
American troops”, the great free American media went
silent when LA Times correspondent Tina Susman

reported from Baghdad: “A plan to show some
alleged Iranian-supplied explosives to journalists last
week in Karbala and then destroy them was canceled after
the United States realized none of them was from Iran.”

A people devoid of a media are sitting ducks for
tyrannical government, which is what the US has.

What is the difference between Hitler`s concocted
excuses for his acts of naked aggression and the Bush
Regime`s plan to use a briefing by General Petraeus,
with

“captured Iranian weapons” as props, as proof of
Iranian complicity in US deaths in Iraq as a means to
break down public and congressional resistance to an
attack on Iran?  

Why has the Bush Regime suffered no consequences for
this blatant attempt to orchestrate an excuse for
another war?  

Why have there been no consequences to the Regime for
the blatant lies it told in order to attack Iraq?  

Why has the Bush Regime suffered no consequences for
its violation of US statutory laws against spying
without warrants and against torture?

In the US criminal justice system, three strikes and
you are out.  

For the Bush Regime is there any limit on its lawless
behavior?  

How many strikes?  A dozen?  Thirty?  Three hundred?

Is there a limit?
