by Ilene Proctor Q: How Can A Man Become a National Best Selling Author Without Ever Being Reviewed By The Mainstream Media? A: The Internet and Progressive Radio Caused This Media Sensation WATCH OUT WASHINGTON! HERE COMES Vincent Bugliosi's The Prosecution of George Bush for Murder. Make no mistake, things have been done to America in these recent years that are unwise, unjust, unconscionable, unacceptable and un-American by President George Bush who pursues his partisanship, his profiteering, his perjury, his pardons and his power that are frankly, according to best-selling author Vincent Bugliosi, unpardonable. In The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder, Bugliosi presents a tight, meticulously researched legal case that puts George W. Bush on trial in an American courtroom for the murder of nearly 4,000 American soldiers fighting the war in Iraq. Bugliosi sets forth the legal architecture and incontrovertible evidence that President Bush took this nation to war in Iraq under false pretenses-a war that has not only caused the deaths of American soldiers but also over 100,000 innocent Iraqi men, women, and children; cost the United States over one trillion dollars thus far with no end in sight; and alienated many American allies in the Western world. Just who do Bush and Rice think they are, considering they can tell Russia when to take its troops out of Georgia? Has the USA taken its troops from Iraq? Has Russia got concentration camps like Abu Ghraib or Guantanamo Bay? Did Russia go after Saakashvili and hang him? Have Georgian soldiers been forced into human pyramids, had dogs set upon them, been raped, water-boarded, their food peed into or forced to eat disgusting things which go against their culture? Did Saakashvili not declare a ceasefire and while he was doing so mass his troops, savagely attack Tskhinvali, destroy 85% of the city's structures with military hardware and slaughter hundreds of civilians on 7/8 August? In their failure to mention the cause of the current conflict once, Bush, Rice give their tacit approval to Georgia's war crimes, just as they gave their tacit approval to the war crimes perpetrated in Iraq ). Bush, Cheney and Rice; Hitler, Himmler and Goebbels 21.08.2008 With what moral authority do these mainstays of the neoconservative, corporate elitist, greedy, self-interested Washington regime speak, when in their own closet there are skeletons labelled Abu Ghraib, Iraq, Guantanamo, mass murder, war crimes, illegal invasion, torture, illegal detention, disrespect for international law, denial of due process...? That Bush and Rice are wholly incompetent to hold their jobs has been patently obvious from the beginning, when Rice started off by making insulting and derogatory remarks whenever she mentioned Russia, yet while as National Security Advisor prior to 9/11 failed to provide any national security whatsoever. Talk about being downright abrasive and rude, hardly the behaviour required for a lady diplomat, but then again, nobody ever expected any better because she is not a diplomat, never was, never will be. She is a cheap, dimwitted guttersnipe, an apology for a lady and a human being and wholly unfit to hold the office and serve her country, both of which her very presence insults. As regards Bush, well, one has only to go to the Bushisms website and the man comes across as a vapid and abject joke. True, he looks pretty good holding a plastic turkey and does appear to have the ability to improvise with kids on the White House lawn when left alone with them, appearing to be on the same intellectual level. Kind of like a retarded uncle who hangs around the ranch saying inanities but who nobody ever takes seriously. As for Cheney, this eminence grise learned a long time ago to shut the f. up and do his evil deeds behind closed doors. Nice man. After all, here is the man with all the contacts among his neocon friends, the corporate elitists whose policies dictate what Washington does and how many people its foreign policies kill. Nice man. Rumour has it that not even his own family speak to him. And how clever he was when all those contracts were allocated without tender after the US military forces targeted civilian structures in Iraq. Nice man. The constant intrusion into Russia's sphere of interests, the barrage of lies they sell to the corporate media parading them as the truth, and the stream of insults and provocations that come from these legions of Baal cannot go unanswered. Just who do Bush and Rice think they are, considering they can tell Russia when to take its troops out of Georgia? Has the USA taken its troops from Iraq? Has Russia got concentration camps like Abu Ghraib or Guantanamo Bay? Did Russia go after Saakashvili and hang him? Have Georgian soldiers been forced into human pyramids, had dogs set upon them, been raped, water-boarded, their food peed into or forced to eat disgusting things which go against their culture? Did Saakashvili not declare a ceasefire and while he was doing so mass his troops, savagely attack Tskhinvali, destroy 85% of the city's structures with military hardware and slaughter hundreds of civilians on 7/8 August? In their failure to mention the cause of the current conflict once, Bush, Rice give their tacit approval to Georgia's war crimes, just as they gave their tacit approval to the war crimes perpetrated in Iraq ). Just how involved were the Bush's military advisors that night when Georgian peacekeeping troops fired on their Russian colleagues and when the barrage of bombs and missiles killed hundreds of civilians, when Georgian tanks ran down old ladies, when Georgian troops threw grenades into basements full of huddled and terrified women and children? So, here it is, loud and clear, for Bush, Cheney and Rice to understand. If they think that like Goebbels, they can repeat the same lie time and time again until it becomes the truth, they are wholly wrong, as wrong as the miscalculated act of aggression against Russia, which led to the military forces they support being thrashed. If they think that like Himmler, they can win hearts and minds through concentration camps and torture, history taught the Soviet Union (which lost 26 million freeing Europe from Fascist tyranny) and the rest of the world a solemn lesson which forced the enlightened among us to vow never to allow the story to be repeated again. Yet like Hitler, these three try. And they do not give up. And they keep on provoking time and time and time again. Russia made a limited response to an act of provocation, its right under international law, in which hundreds of its citizens were killed by Georgian troops in one night. Quite what Saakashvili were thinking they would achieve that night, only he knows. What his supporters lost must have been big, given the soreness and arrogance in their voices today, and the attempts at self-justification. And once again, Russia rules the roost, Russia calls the shots these days, Russia stands for respect for the law whereas Washington flouts it, Russia stands for peace whereas Washington stands for war, Russia defends debate, dialogue and discussion while Washington favors antagonism, arrogance, bullying, belligerence, back-stabbing, chauvinism and skullduggery as its diplomatic tools, and Condoleezza Rice as its mouthpiece. The female is sooooooooo 1980s... For two weeks now, they have been telling Russia what to do. Two weeks on, Russia is doing what it understands it must do and will leave Georgia as and when it sees fit. If Bush and Rice want to continue making fools of themselves by repeating the same thing over and over, it just proves their utter impotence to gain anything from yet another failed Washington policy. Has there ever been a successful one? Timothy BANCROFT-HINCHEY October 30, 2008, 5:52
BBC wakes up to Georgian ‘war crimes'
The BBC says it has obtained evidence that the Georgian army may have committed war crimes during August's military offensive in South Ossetia. Britain's flagship broadcaster heard testimonies during the first unrestricted visit to South Ossetia by a foreign news organisation since the conflict ended. Photographs taken by Russian journalists in the first days of the conflict tell a disturbing story. But it is only now - more than two months later - that the world is looking at these pictures and reflecting on their meaning. For many, they paint a picture of indiscriminate force used against unarmed civilians. It's a side of the story international broadcasters have been accused of ignoring. A report by the BBC's Newsnight programme suggests Georgia's armed forces committed war crimes during their attack in August. The BBC says the evidence proving this comes from the first unrestricted visit to South Ossetia by their correspondent. Taisiya Sitnik, or Taya, as the BBC reporter calls her, had spent many hours under the rubble of her apartment block in Tskhinval, with no food or water, in a dress covered with the blood of her dead son. She had already shared her tragic story once with an RT correspondent, three days into the conflict. More than two months later the BBC is finally telling her story. Richard Sakwa, a professor of politics and international relations at the University of Kent in the UK, said he'd been inundated with messages complaining about how the Western media were covering the war. "I'm a great believer in popular common sense - the amount of emails I received and other messages - because people know I'm involved in these questions - was astonishing! And the overwhelming message was disgust at the initial coverage by the BBC (it later did an excellent job) and in particular also CNN and other major western media. So what we are seeing is officialdom catching up with what I think was a genuine sense down below that we weren't being fed the truth from the start," Prof. Sakwa said. Until recently Georgia had been seen by many as a small state that suffered at the hands of its big neighbour. But that perception is slowly changing. Georgia's president, who has portrayed himself as the West's closest ally, now has to defend himself. "We strongly deny accusation of war crimes - but of course, we are very open for any kind of comments, we are very open for any kind of investigation," Mikhail Saakashvili said. Even Britain's foreign secretary, known for his unconditional support of Georgia, is now changing his tune. "On my visit to Tbilisi, of course, I raised at the highest level in Georgia, the questions that have been asked and raised about war crimes and other military actions by the Georgian authorities," David Miliband said. And this shift in Western attitudes seems to have improved relations between Russia and the UK, which have been at their lowest for decades. "I think there has been a shift in the British government's position on Russia in the last month or so. And some of Miliband's recent statements reflect that," says Charles Grant, Director of the Centre for European Reform.What do you think of this story?
