From The Existentialist Cowboy

Bush is desperately seeking ways to avoid prosecution at the Hague for his many war crimes in both Afghanistan and Iraq. This is a long and “tortured” story about how Bush and his cabal have hijacked the apparatus of government and intimidated the Congress. The obvious motive is money –millions made by defense contractors whose business is killing people. It includes Blackwater, another name for Murder, Inc. It’s about war, crimes and torture. It’s about a “President” who has committed capital crimes and re-wrote the law to absolve himself.

Found in a recent Keith Olbermann broadcast:

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell tells G-Q magazine he is “sorry” he gave the world wrong information when he told the U-N of the threat Iraq supposedly posed.

Olbermann makes the case that the Bush administration is habitually wrong because being wrong or, worse, a bald faced liar is rewarded. The Bush administration is 180 degrees out of phase with every good and human value be it secular or religious.

It bears repeating that Powell’s presentation to the UN was a deliberate fraud. Despite his mea culpa, Powell will have trouble scrapping off Bush’s guilt. Powell is a modern Faust. It remains to be seen whether he will succeed in redeeming himself. Powell’s presentation was not a mere, isolated lie, exaggeration, or misspeak. It was –from start to finish –a polished, planned, pre-meditated fraud intended to deceive all the nations of the world. Powell is up to his neck in a war crime. Perhaps, if Powell told the whole story, he might survive with a shred worth redemption.
