Sure - but he is in the mainstream media he has to work within that framework. The mainstream media have to tow the government line, or they get in trouble. That's what happens in a fascist society.
The video clip is OK but many Americans will be able to read about the 9/11 cover-up when President George Walker Bush publishes his memoirs when his term has ended. The prior warning of the 5th September 2001 should have prevented 9/11 from happening and suppressing it is a disgrace.
Congress ought NOT to have abrogated any portion of what was delegated ONLY to Congress by the Constitution. ALL such measures are unconstitutional. Admittedly, Congress ARE a pussy! Both parties sold us out. Attempts to rewrite Geneva, however, are in violation of Geneva to which we are still bound. Like Bush's "capital" war crimes in Iraq, congress' actions are, likewise, punishable by death.
As I recall 2 groups claimed responsibility and 1 identified the suicide bombers. It was Caspar Weinberger who stopped the response because he thought that it would harm relations in the ME. Reagan was wrong because he should have overode that decision. Besides, the French didn't have a problem retaliating.
Reagan was right to pull out of Beirut and Ron Paul is right to pull out of Iraq. The invasion of Iraq is, was, and always will be unconstitutional. The US will have leaders on trial for war crimes. Aggressive Wars are the Highest Violation of international law and many in congress should be ashamed of shirking their Constitutional duty to stand up to a Power Hungry Executive.
Keith speaks the truth- regardless of what the idiots who still support bush and his lies say.
Why is the one person responsible for 9/11 still out there taunting us? Does that bother any of you bush apologists? If you're an American, it should.
"They violated The Constitution (Article 1 - Section 8)." You just proved yourself that the war is unconstitutional. Congress violated the Constituiton by turning over their Power to the executive without fundamentally rewriting A1-S8. Sounds like you're on my side. Thanks!
There is no war. Congress never declared war at all so of course it is not unconstitutional. Now the illegal US invasion of Iraq not only violates the US constitution but also international law. We will all learn about it when Bush/Cheney are on trial at the Hague.
Some people, like yourself are more interested in their political party's success than in the prosperity of our country and protection of our liberties and constitutional rights.
To come on Youtube and start barking about your right to free speech while disregarding the unconstitutional nature of the Iraq war is an embarrassment to true conservatives.
The truth is that you refuse to acknowledge any criticisms of Bush, while a person with some intellect can quickly conclude that GW fucked up.
This war is not unconstitutional and any effort to regard it as such is wrong. In fact, Congress gave Pres. Bush the authority to use military force. I don't toe the line on everything (spending and the borders are out of control), but I do believe in what we are doing WRT Iraq.
Exactly my point. It is Congress' EXCLUSIVE right to declare war, according to The Constitution. They, including Clinton, Edwards, etc. gave up their power of authority to Bush. They violated The Constitution (Article 1 - Section 8).
So please tell me. How is the Iraq War not unconstitutional? Explain with facts how you came to this conclusion.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You are a total dumb ass. He didn't violate the Constitution. War was never declared. He asked for authorization from Congress. If you read the Constitution instead of picking your nose, you will find that the President has full authority over the military and Congress granted him the right to use it against Iraq. Read Public Law 107-243 if you can comprehend that much.
I'm the dumb ass? What don't you understand? 107-243 is exactly what I'm talking about, idiot. It is unconstitutional. They wrote 107-243 as a way to bypass the Constitution and give all power to Bush.
Bush does have power over the military, but unless war is declared by Congress, the miltary cannot be utilized by the executive branch to wage war.
And you idiots keep talking about how we shouldn't have gone into Iraq and that we should go into Darfur. The only difference between these 2 places is time. I guess people like you have smoked too much and have short memories (1991, 1993, 1997, 1998, 2001 to name a few)
We shouldn't have gone into Iraq and we should not go to Darfur either.
If you want to go back in history, go back to the bombing of our embassy in Beirut in 1983. Reagan quickly withdrew our troops citing that he was not about to entangle our country in the radical politics of the Middle East. It is something that we cannot understand.
I'm not a Liberal. I have never voted for a Liberal. I am a conservative (and veteran) who believes that Bush has made critical errors as President.
Also, FDR did not declare war on Japan and Germany. Congress did. If you understood history and our Constitution, you would know that the Iraq war was/is unconstitutional. If you're so interested in protecting your right to free speech, why would you not be outraged about our government's abuse of other Constitutional ammendments? Hypocrite?
as for AQ claiming responsibility your Bush government said in testimony to congress taht even opn 1/25 after tehy took office there still wasn't "actioanble" evidnec that it was AQ .. so either they are liars , or your statement about clinto was BS , your pick , her testimony to the 9/11 commission , I know facts are such troublesome things .
There wasn't actionable evidence because Clinton's hoodlums shredded it. Sandy (Burglar) Berger did it with documents related to 9/11. I don't know if it will ever be know just how much he did destroy. After all, he did plea guilty and pay a fine.
yeah He was giving a way light sentence mI agree and His actions were unconciosable and who was responsible for that light sentence the justice dept of Bush under Gonzalez so ask yourself what the trade off was, they hated the clinton administration more than you do and let him skate.he was caught red handed I wont defend him
but the cole was not 9/11 so you dont get a pass onm that one . the cole happened in oct a month before teh election , two months before bush took office . if you remember the okla city bombing was thought to be arab terrorist too and the AQ probably claimed taht one as well .. you are a good ahter but dont give a damn about truth unless it suits your argument . richard clark the lone holdout from the clinton admin sent plenty of warninmg to the bush admin about AQ
slaps my typist.whowhat where , we would all be better served by making sure the recommendations of the 9/11 commission were implemented to make us safer. i will even give you a pass on the current idiocy in Iraq. leave,stay , move , we are going to be attacked again
Japan , Germany and Italy had military treaties to atack anyone who attacked any of the three, the original axis of evil that Bush borrowed for his speeches , you are suggesting that(A) Iraq under sunnis and Affghanistan shhittes had these same treaties ,you are the only one, and that somehow iraq was invovled in the attack on 9/11 neither is true , you are entitled to your interpretation of the facts , but not the facts themselves, Isnt rush on somewhere?
hey dumb ass cond rice herself on the cole . "We knew that there was speculation that the 2000 Cole attack was al Qaeda... We received, I think, on January 25th the same assessment [of al-Qaeda responsibility]. It was preliminary. It was not clear." clinton ws out of office
Guts? How many guts do you need to invade a country without physically being there to do the invading? Also, there has been NOTHING to substantiate GW's claim that Saddam was in any way linked to Al Queda. As a matter of fact it was quite the opposite.
Lastly, I agree with you about Clinton, but don't come out here and start criticizing the man, simply because you're a Bush supporter.
The total lack of accountability including get out of jail free passes and lucrative book deals for all of the Bush administration lackeys makes me wonder: Maybe Stalin wasn't such a bad leader after all. He was definately brutal but at least he was an equal opportunity tyrant. Even his croonies and underlings paid for their mistakes.
I stand for the Scholars, Veterans and Architects & Engineers for Truth along side family members of the victims family members of soldiers who have made the ultimate sacrifice, including the many Ground Zero workers who are now ill or have passed away. We must demand a full criminal investigation into the events of 9/11. DON'T accept the 9/11 Commission Report and/or "hypothesis" as a satisfactory explanation for the sacrifice Americans have made, some more than others.
well, look at it this way...people responsible for making the warmongers obscene amount of money get bonuses and promotions. that's the way it works in the corporate world...
Keith is peerless, principled, passionate and spot on.
