By PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS /
On May 15, the White House Moron, in a war-planning visit to Israel,
justified the ****d aggression he and Olmert are planning against Iran
as the only alternative to =93the false comfort of appeasement, which
has been repeatedly discredited by history.=94
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=92s warlike moves and
provocations. Iran has not sunk a single one of our sitting duck ****ps
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=92s American Brown****rts, the neocons, who
express the view: =93what=92s the good of nuclear weapons if you can=92t
use=
them.=94
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 sup****t 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=92s position that
anything less than a direct act of ****d aggression is appeasement?
The Chicago City Council has passed a resolution =93opposing any US
attack on Iran and urging the Bush Administration to pursue diplomatic
engagement with that nation.=94 But the White House Moron says diplomacy
is appeasement. He learned this false equivalence from the neocon
Brown****rts 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 =93definite proof=94 in the form of
captured Iranian weapons that Iranians were =93responsible for killing
American troops,=94 the great free American media went silent when LA
Times correspondent Tina Susman re****ted from Baghdad: =93A plan to show
some alleged Iranian-supplied explosives to journalists last week in
Karbala and then destroy them was cancelled after the United States
realized none of them was from Iran.=94
A people devoid of a media are sitting ducks for tyrannical
government, which is what the US has.
What is the difference between Hitler=92s concocted excuses for his acts
of ****d aggression and the Bush Regime=92s plan to use a briefing by
General Petraeus, with =93captured Iranian weapons=94 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?
