The
Dubious Decider

George
Bush is coming to the
Bahrain
in January.
MSNBC
commentator Keith Olbermann called Bush a "pathological presidential
liar, or an idiot-in-chief," and denounced Bush, without reservation:
"You, Mr Bush, are a bald-faced liar," said Olbermann, providing
the evidence to prove it.
Who
doesn't know, for example, that Bush lied about WMDs in
Iraq
?
The question that hasn't been answered adequately is why?
Why
did Bush lie about Saddam's presumed arsenal of WMDs?
Answer:
to serve
Israel
.
As
long as Saddam had the potential for developing WMDs,
Israel
claimed a potential risk.
However,
Israel
would never be at risk so long
as Palestinians lived in the land occupied by
Israel
. Why not?
Saddam would never have used WMDs on Palestinians.
What,
then, was the threat to
Israel
? So
long as Saddam had a “potential” for destructive weapons,
Israel
could not eliminate the
Palestinians.
Israel
's ultimate goal is to empty
Gaza
and the
West Bank
of all Palestinians, through
an ethnic cleansing, forcing them to join the millions of Palestinian
refugees.
Some
of the hundreds of additional lies uttered by the world's most pathological
liar include:
Continued
lies about a non-existent connection between
Iraq
and al-Qaeda.
Lies
about finding terrorists and bringing them to justice, when in fact the
government has captured, imprisoned without trial and tortured hundreds of
innocents.
Bush
has lied about government sanctioning of illegal wiretapping saying the
government needed to move quickly, without warrants, to detect terrorist
plots.
The
liar-in-chief lied about a non-existent connection between
Iraq
and the attacks on 9/11.
Despite
translators in
Washington
who know Farsi, who must have
told GWB the truth about Ahmadinejad’s comment about
Israel
, Bush continues the lie.
Stefan Simanowitz explained it clearly:
The
claim that
Iran
has threatened “to wipe
Israel
off the face of the map” has
been repeated so often that it has almost become received wisdom. However
the much mistranslated Farsi phrase used by President Amadinejad was “Imam
ghoft een rezhim-e ishghalgar-e qods bayad az safheh-ye ruzgar mahv shavad.”
This translates directly as “The Imam said this regime occupying
Jerusalem
must vanish from the page of
time. This statement is very wise”. Whatever the interpretation of this
translation, “a regime vanishing from the page of time” is very
different from a threat to wipe a nation off the map.
America
's decider lied to get
America
to bomb, invade and occupy
Iraq
. He has been doing the same
thing to prepare
America
to exercise military might to
bring
Iran
its knees for the sake of
Israel
.
What
lies will GWB tell when he visits the Arabian Gulf States in January?
Will
he lie about his visit to
Israel
and assure leaders in the Gulf
that
Israel
is ready to make peace with
the Palestinians if only the
Gulf States
recognize and do business with
Israel
?
Will
he continue the lie about
Iran
's danger to the region,
knowing full that-- unlike
America
and
Israel
--
Iran
has never peremptorily
attacked any country?
Will
he lie about the benefits the
US
can offer to the
Gulf States
if they cooperate in
supporting further sanctions and possible military action against
Iran
?
Will
he lie about the need the
Gulf States
have for defensive weaponry in
order to siphon off some of the oil revenue profits for the
US
military-industrial complex?
Will
he lie about the dangers of currency pegs to any other than the almighty
dollar?
The
dubious decider certainly isn't coming to the Gulf to exchange greetings or
shop in the suqs.
