Kerry & Clinton must stop their support of Bush’s War on (some) Terrorism

Continued support for this war of domination and greed goes beyond politics into a world of moral relativism where politicians who call themselves leaders and men/women of faith destroy and kill in the name of democracy and freedom.

Kerry & the Clintons (Bill and Hillary) should be leading the way in exposing the lies and treason of the Bush administration instead of supporting what the whole world knows is an unjust, unprovoked and illegal attack and occupation of Iraq. They should join with other leaders around the world to denounce this war and work towards a resolution that will bring American troops home, stop the Friends of Bush war profiteering and begin the immediate rebuilding of Iraq and restitution for the Iraqi people.

This is not to say that there shouldn’t be a great effort to stop terrorism and those who finance it...like Bush’s friends and business associates in Saudi Arabia. But first we need to repudiate the Bush Doctrine of Aggressive War and set the record straight about Iraq having NOTHING to do with the war on terrorism.

Kerry, Senator Clinton and every other Democrat in leadership positions MUST tell the American people the whole truth: that Bush and his Neocon/PNAC cronies planned to attack Iraq BEFORE they took office and used the death of 3000 on 9-11 as an means to complete their plans.

Democrats can no longer tolerate their own leadership condoning these deadly lies and deceptions. They must come forward to tell the truth RIGHT NOW or risk being labeled as complicit in the treason, obstruction of justice and war crimes of this administration.

America...and Democrats in particular as the opposition party...must stop living this lie that brings unnecessary destruction and death.

Have you noticed that the American Corporate Media backs off Dem politicians when they give signals that they’re willing to ’compromise’ with the Bush regime and stray from Dem party principles?

Witness politicians like Lieberman and the Clintons..that have seemingly agreed to support Bush’s WARs and not actively oppose many of his ’initiatives’ in exchange for better treatment from Friends of Bush. Lieberman has been a Republican in Democratic clothing for some time now...but Hillary is just now catching up just in time for 2008.

It’s disgusting the way so many are willing to overlook the fact that the Democratic leadership is participating in deceiving the American people.

We’ve become as bad as the Bush Republicans when we refuse to do the right thing because it may hurt our chances for ’winning’ or piss off the corporate sponsors of this so-called war on terrorism.

Kerry and the Clintons know that Bush has lied this nation into an illegal war. Given this knowledge and their continued support for his aggression...they have become complicit in the deception.

Shouldn’t we care about the difference between right and wrong, moral and immoral, honesty and dishonesty? What separates us from the Bush junta if we refuse to take a stand against what we KNOW are lies that are causing the death of thousands?

Screw ’politics’. We either do the right thing and demand an exit plan and restitution for the Iraqi people or stop pretending that we’re in any way morally superior to Bush and his gang of fascist thugs.

And...we need to admit the fact that it’s the DLC and their allies that are in the forefront in keeping this war going beyond all reason and sanity.

There is only one option at this point. Honesty. If we can’t do that then we’re no better than those who started this phony war on terrorism for power and profit.

Part of that honesty is calling ’leaders’ like Kerry and Clinton on their joining Bush in deceiving the American people about the need to kill people in order to save them.

The politics of ’winning by any means necessary’ has brought us to where we are today. That we have allowed the other side to TAKE so much power without a fight puts us in a position of victims.

And yes...I’m saying that the answer IS simplistic. Instead of compromising, conceding and triangulating...our party can change everything if they stop playing politics and simply tell the truth. But the question remains: can they do this now that they’ve already taken the job of shining Bush’s boots and given credibility to his lies?

This is NOT about political gain or boosting the careers of Democratic politicians. It’s about stopping the insanity. And it is indeed insane to put Americans and Iraqis in harm’s way for the ’benefit’ of a handful of politicians.

We may not be able to stop Bush...but we can certainly put pressure on DEMOCRATS to stop supporting his wars and enabling him to do more harm.

Kerry is dealing in doublespeak and it comes out sounding like mush. How can someone support a war they KNOW is based on lie? How can they continue to support throwing American and Iraqi lives away because politicians like Kerry don’t want to sound ’radical’ or ’anti-war’?

Kerry, Clinton and others are trying to have it both ways. Sound just ’anti-war’ enough to make people believe they have a conscience while continuing to look the other way as war profiteers make billions off the blood of American soldiers and Iraqi innocents.
