Our President is a Criminal
by Daniel Patrick Welch

July 22, 2003



It's well past time to say it. Despite the weaseling and =
finger-pointing--in fact, because of it--the Forged Niger letter is =
indeed the smoking gun, and the chips have yet to stop falling. Who =
wrote the damn thing, and on whose orders? Who cares whether Tenet, his =
job on the line, acquiesced to including a literal truth that actually =
amounts to one of the great frauds of the century? The sheer audacity =
and cynicism of this coterie of hacks and hustlers is simply astounding. =
As a teacher, I won't let six-year-olds get away with such transparent =
sophistry. The bottom line is that Bush knew the information was bogus, =
and used it anyway to convince millions to go along with his phony war.=20



For that alone, for the memory of the thousands of dead Iraqis and =
Americans, he deserves the il Duce treatment (figuratively speaking, Mr. =
Ashcroft-no need to start tapping my phone or putting me on no-fly =
lists). The criminal enterprise called the Bush administration is (Helen =
Thomas was right) the worst ever. Their campaign in furtherance of the =
conspiracy to defraud the public into buying the Iraq war is one of the =
the most cynical abuses of power in U.S. history. It deserves to be =
treated as such.=20



Alarmist? You bet. This guy already thinks (and occasionally tells =
foreign leaders) that he gets his orders from God. If these radical =
extremists can get away with this, then the dumbing down of America will =
be complete, and the stage will be set for the next wave of the nascent =
fascism. La Cosa Bush (apologies to the mafia) is, like all crime =
families, violent, arrogant, and beyond the reach of the law--so far. =
Bush's handlers no longer even have the decency, courage or =
self-restraint to prevent his criminally stupid comments from wreaking =
havoc around the globe. Was last week's pseudo-macho invitation to =
"Bring 'em on" even a mistake? Or was it another calculated ploy to make =
him look "tough" to the American people, playing to the ugliest side of =
the American psyche while once again enraging thinking people the world =
over. No matter--he must be stopped. This cabal has been lying, =
cheating, and manipulating national tragedy to force their right wing =
agenda down our throats long enough.=20



And half-measures won't do any more. None of this vague safe rhetoric =
about "misleading" or cautious calls for those who "know who they are" =
to step down. WE know who they are, the junta that has hijacked our =
government and our national agenda. The cartel must go: Bush, Cheney, =
Powell, Rice, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Perle should all resign, be fired or =
impeached immediately, before their conspiracy of lies and their mutual =
pact of self-protection is allowed to further endanger the country and =
the world. Cornered criminals, especially stupid ones, are a dangerous =
lot, and there is no telling to what lengths they will go to cover their =
own behinds.=20

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->

On a mission from God, installed by a viciously partisan Supreme Court, =
the skids are greased for a further slide into misadventure, bankruptcy =
and ruin With the addition of Congress on their side, they are acting =
with particularly reckless abandon--and impeachment is not in the cards =
as long as the GOP circles the wagons. None will have the courage or =
integrity Goldwater showed when he told Nixon the jig was up. Power =
corrupts, and the Republicans are so drunk with it they won't turn on =
their Lord Fauntleroy until he robs a bank on camera in broad daylight. =




But that is no reason not to tell the truth: whatever their chances, =
some of the braver souls in congress should introduce impeachment =
legislation immediately: Conyers, Kucinich, Lee, Paul? The media has =
already shown they will not help; moneyed interests overwhelmingly favor =
the right. A campaign based on the old game of raising oodles of money =
and buying ads is a sure failure The only thing that can save us now is =
a grassroots, velvet revolution, the principled, impassioned movement =
calling for these people's head on a spike.=20



And maybe, just maybe, this one isn't an impeachable offense, but I'm =
just plain getting sick of Rumsfeld's smug, arrogant grin on the tube. =
What the hell is he smiling at all the time? Is it funny, somehow, that =
thousands of Iraqi civilians are dead after his "precision" bombing? It =
is ironic, admittedly, another fraud, to be sure-but hardly amusing. =
Maybe it's just part of what you do when you think you can get away with =
anything.=20



Senate Intelligence Chair Pat Roberts foreshadowed just how twisted the =
logic is going to get when he said that what concerns him most "is what =
appears to be a campaign of press leaks by the CIA in an effort to =
discredit the president," Yeah, right. The black bag set, whose penchant =
for secrecy and service verges on pathology, are the real problem =
here--not the curious fact that even some of them have finally decided =
that things are so bad that someone, somewhere has to speak out.=20



It's time to close the curtain on this Bizarro World, where lies are the =
norm and logic no longer applies: Saddam loyalists--not nationalist =
resistance to occupation--are the real problem in Iraq. Protesters are =
terrorists, but we are fighting for our freedoms. Bush's popularity =
remains robust, yet huge shows of force and repressive rules on free =
speech are needed to keep the viewing public from seeing that he is =
dogged by prostest at every turn. War is peace, freedom is slavery, and =
some animals are more equal than others. The lies won't stop until we =
fire the liars.



Daniel Patrick Welch lives and writes in Salem, Massachusetts, USA, with =
his wife, Julia Nambalirwa-Lugudde. Together they run The Greenhouse =
School. He has appeared on radio [interview available here] Past =
