That is an absurd statement. That would be true only if GB changed standard CIA policy, in force since Hungry; which was that the CIA couldn't offer troops or arms outside the scope of the CIA. In addition, GB maintained a strict policy of not even speaking to any group of any country, lest that country think the US was trying to subvert it. Oh please...this is the same guy that was involved in selling arms to Iran for money that was being sent illegally to the Contras in Nicaragua....yeah, yeah..I know, that was not proven. Al

Ted Re...CIA operatives under Bush Sr. encouraged Shiite Muslims and Kurds to revolt. Since the CIA operatives were on Bush Sr.'s watch, Bush Sr. is held responsible. That is an absurd statement. That would be true only if GB changed standard CIA policy, in force since Hungry; which was that the CIA couldn't offer troops or arms outside the scope of the CIA. In addition, GB maintained a strict policy of not even speaking to any group of any country, lest that country think the US was trying to subvert it. Absurd statement? No one said that the CIA was to provide the troops and arms. The operative word is "encouraged". The troops and armaments were to be provided by the US military. What's absurd is the fact that you are trying to sell me on the notion that the CIA was doing nada in Iraq while American troops were fighting Saddam in Kuwait, and that Bush Sr. was oblivious to the whole thing. If you believe that, and its sounds like you are trying very hard to believe it, then I have a bridge to sell you that will look very nice in WI! Trust me! What's amazing is that all of the above is common knowledge. I think you all must be in some major denial so that you don't have to deal with the cronism of the Bushes. ted
