A Nation of Assassins
Call It What It Really Is: Sick

by Douglas Valentine

July 26, 2003

What do you call it when George W. Bush, without provocation and based =
on false pretenses, sends an army to invade a foreign nation; and then, =
without any attempt to negotiate a surrender, effect an arrest, or put =
this nation's leaders on trial and present evidence of their crimes, =
instead puts multimillion dollar bounties on their heads, relies on =
collaborators and spies to track them down, and then corners them and =
blows them away in their homes, in their own country?

Do you call it what the Israelis, who lately have done it hundreds of =
times, call it?

A targeted kill?

What would you call it if Saddam Hussein hunted down and killed George =
Bush's daughters in Texas?

Cold-blooded murder?

How about calling this sort of behavior assassination?

Why call it anything? A rose by any other name, right?

And don't even ask if targeted kills, cold blooded murders, and =
assassinations are legal or moral. Who the hell cares?

They're popular. It's so much fun, you can even find death cards on the =
Internet, naming the people that Bush plans to kill in Iraq. It's like a =
videogame, or that old Steve McQueen show, Wanted Dead or Alive.

Bush really gets into it too; "Bring 'em on," he said, playing the role =
of Paladin in Have Gun Will Travel; and since then a couple of GIs have =
gotten killed every day. But what the hell, it's a volunteer army, and =
it isn't you or me. So they die for Bush's vainglory. Who cares? It's =
the vicarious thrill that counts.

Back when the CIA was assassinating foreign leaders all over the world, =
in the 1950s, '60s, and 70s, they secretly liked to call it Executive =
Action. Those were the bad old days, when the CIA had to secretly go =
about its dirty business of mass murder. Back then they had to resort to =
euphemisms to get the job done.

In the Republic of Vietnam, first the CIA called the mass murder of its =
enemies, in their own country, elimination. But that sounded too harsh, =
so it changed the term to neutralize.

In 1967 the CIA created the infamous Phoenix Program to neutralize -- =
which meant to hunt down through informants and then kill, capture, =
torture and detain indefinitely -- a revolving annual door of some =
70,000 members of Communist and Nationalist insurgents, and anyone =
supporting them politically or administratively, in their own country.

The United States government admits that the CIA killed some 25,000 =
people through the Phoenix Program. It did successfully and gleefully =
neutralize some hundreds of thousands altogether. They know how to do it =
and they're ready to cast the Phoenix spell worldwide.

Now we have it from Richard Perle -- one of the corrupt cabal that rules =
the White House, and makes Israeli policy American policy in cahoots =
with the Bush oil r=E9gime, whose loyalty lies not to the American =
public but to its own self-enrichment -- that America will not leave =
Iraq as long as some 30,000 members of Saddam Hussein's Ba'ath Party, in =
Perle's words, remain active.

So now maybe they're gonna change the term to inactivating?

By inactivating, Bush, Perle, Wolfowitz and the other members of their =
criminal r=E9gime mean the planned mass murder of some 30,000 Iraqis in =
Iraq. If they do it the way they did it in Vietnam, just like Bob =
Kerrey's little mission in Thanh Phong, they also plan to inactivate the =
families and friends of these 30,000 people.

You can't terrorize insurgents into submission unless you do it this =
way, as the Israelis have taught us so well. You have to terrorize =
everyone. Just like the Israelis terrorized the Palestinians into a =
state of submission.

The newspaper and TV commentators applaud this Iraqi experiment in =
targeted kills and mass murder as boosting the morale of the American =
occupation army.

Just today the headlines hailed the inactivating of Saddam Hussein sons =
as a righteous act that was more than merely morally justifiable, but =
something akin to Divine justice.

And no one is astounded, because the vast majority of Americans were =
ethically inactivated a long time ago, through 50 years of government =
propaganda. In order to enjoy their SUVs and cell phones, they will =
rejoice while George W. Bush, in his role as God Almighty, cuts a swath =
of righteous savagery through the world, mass murdering everyone he and =
the cabal designate as their personal enemies -- just like George W. =
Bush, all by his little lonesome, tried convicted and sentenced Saddam =
Hussein and his family to death, and then went out and killed them.

>From now on, Bush alone chooses who lives or dies, and no one can stop =

him. It is the One Commandment that the American empire is based upon. =
And that's how we have become a nation of assassins, void of conscience.

Call it Apotheosis by the Divine Right of Execution. Or call it what it =
really is: sick.
