1. -- JR. Bush's War On Iraq :
One US rule for Israel, another for Saddam -The Observer
For 30 years, America has acted hypocritically in
wielding its UN veto

(See Post 6129)
*****[ Resolution 1441]*****
"It seems likely that the US-UK strategy will rely on the threat in
a paragraph at the end of 1441: 'The council has repeatedly
warned Iraq that it will face serious consequences as a result of
its continued violation of its obligations.' All members of the
council have already voted in favour of this."
"But for 35 years ISRAEL DEFIES US RESOLUTION 442
November 1967 - the famous resolution 242, which underlines
that Israel must return territory acquired in war."

--- Bush Sr warning over unilateral Action
"Mr Bush Sr even came close to conceding that opponents of his son's case against President Saddam Hussein, who he himself is on record as loathing, have legitimate cause for concern.
He said that the key question of how many weapons of mass destruction Iraq held "could be debated". The
case against Saddam was "less clear" than in 1991,"

---" Senator Ted Kennedy Delivers""Response on Bush's Broken Promise to America's Schools"" We cannot remain silent when the President now fails to fund his own education bill. It was a wonderful promise -- but it has become a hollow promise.
in fact, his budget proposal actually cuts funds for public school reform, while
providing 4 billion dollars to private schools -- and 600 billion dollars in new tax
breaks for the wealthy.
With the President's cuts in education, 18,000 fewer teachers will be trained

..."the real question about the future should not be the nature of the recession but the nature of
the recovery that is poised to begin in a few months. Right now, it looks at best like Recovery Lite, a function not of Greenspan's monetary policy but of President Bush's non stewardship of the other half of the equation - fiscal policy.
As the recession bottoms out, the fact that the government has lost control of its finances is going to act as a brake on the expansion that might be expected to follow. The blame game participants can argue causation all they want; the fact is, the government's house is not in order, and Bush is the president." See:

On October 26, 2001, President BUSH signed the USA Patriot Act (USAPA) into law".
The bill is 342 pages long and makes changes, some large and some small, to over 15 different
statutes.The civil liberties of ordinary Americans have taken a tremendous blow with this law, especially
the right to privacy in our online communications and activities. Yet there is no evidence that our
previous civil liberties posed a barrier to the effective tracking or prosecution of terrorists."
