A noble mission?

I gather that the "noble cause" (which has never been defined) has now changed into the "noble mission." At least this is what Bush said in his weekly radio address. I never listen to this but I saw a reference to it somewhere. Can no one explain to our apparently brain dead president that pre-emptively attacking a sovereign nation that is no threat to us is not a noble cause? It is, in fact, a war crime, plain and simple. Torturing captives is also a war crime, as is hiding them from the Red Cross, war profiteering, the use of chemical weapons, and the indiscriminate killing of civilians. Lying to Congress and the American people to bring about an immoral and illegal "war" might not be a war crime but certainly is an impeachable offense.

Apparently Bush?Cheney think that regime change to bring about democracy is a noble mission. It, too, is a war crime. And trying to impose democracy at the barrel of a gun, if not a war crime, is certainly a useless and foolish endeavor. As we have never been told what the noble cause or mission really is, we can only speculate on what it might be in the warped brains of the neocons who conspired treasonably to bring it about. Think Israel, oil, control, power, "war president," empire, and not least of all, profit.

In our local rag, sometimes referred to as a newspaper, was a letter this morning that claimed Bush has "moral integrity," something the writers said Clinton did not have. First, whatever Clinton had or did not have has nothing whatsoever to do with whether or not Bush has moral integrity. And let us consider Bush's moral integrity. As a boy he blew up live frogs for fun. As a young man he participated in at least one abortion. He used family influence to escape duty in Vietnam by getting into the Air National Guard in Texas, and then failed to live up to his obligations there. He failed in every business he attempted to be bailed out time and again by his family's wealthy friends. But he did make a fortune by participating in a scheme to con Texas taxpayers into building an expensive sports stadium which was later sold to produce private profits. He then accepted an illigetimate presidency handed to him by a corrupt Supreme Court and a second term provided by illegal and underhanded means. He then lied to Congress and the American people to start a "war" that was necessary only so he could be a "war president." And he is now lying about all of his previous lies. He has the blood of untold thousands on his hands and refused to acknowledge that he ever made a mistake. So much for moral integrity.
