Bush 41's Crying Game: Dubya Destroyed Family Name

Why is it that I don't feel any sympathy for Bush Sr?

All the Bushes can burn in hell as far as I'm concerned.

Oh, maybe that's why.

It's old news now but always bears repeating. The Bush family history of Trading with the Enemy and getting rich off the blowback is so well documented and Poppy Bush may be crying over Dumbya's failures because they could lead to greater public awareness of that nasty Bush/Walker history. http://nhgazette.com/cgi-bin/NHGstore.cgi?user_action=detail&catalogno=NN_Bush_Nazi_Link

Kinda remined me of Billzeebubba a'slobberin & biten his lip. yuck

Some people just don't know the difference between a blow job and trading with the enemy.

I always was impressed with this Gore speech. Poppy Bush has as much to answer for as his boy. October 27, 1992

SEN. AL GORE
Rally at the University of Wisconsin
Oshkosh, WI

President Bush claims credit for successfully prosecuting the
Persian Gulf war, so he should be prepared to have the record of his
activities leading toward that war examined, particularly now, as he
asks the American people for their support for four more years.

The pattern of President Bush's own public statements on these
issues is itself worthy of special attention and the reasons are
increasingly evident. U.S. policy toward Iraq has been a first class
disaster. Even more disturbing is the fact that blended in with
violations of common sense may well be violations of law.

The President has tried to divorce himself from any connection
with events during the Reagan Administration, and he is also running
from the truth concerning his policies and actions during his own
time as President. Error can sometimes be excused, although when the
error is so great that it brings us to the edge of disaster, a
harsher judgment may be in order from the people. That the President
erred is one thing. The fact he has not leveled with the American
people is another.

The facts show, with increasing clarity, that as Vice President,
George Bush was centrally involved in the sale of weapons to Iran as
payment for release of U.S. hostages who were being held in Lebanon
by groups under Iranian control.

President Bush denied for years in the most categorical terms
that he was involved in the crafting or the execution of this policy.
In his words, he was "out of the loop." But a growing weight of
evidence points clearly to just the opposite conclusion. George Bush
wasn't "out of the loop," he was right in the middle of it.

That's what we know from the two most senior members of the
Reagan cabinet -- then-Secretaries of State and Defense, George
Shultz and Caspar Weinberger -- who registered shock and dismay that
Vice President Bush, who they knew to be a proponent of the arms sale
to Iran, was denying all knowledge.

And that's what we know from a former member of the National
Security Council staff, who says he personally briefed then-Vice
President Bush on the details of the arms for hostages deal with
Iran.

And, now we are being told - in a major article just published
in a national magazine -- that as Vice-President, George Bush not
only knew about the arms for hostage deal, but was a central player
in a plot that taught Saddam Hussein something about deception and
double-double-crosses.

Specifically, the article says that at the request of the late
CIA Director, William Casey, Vice President Bush used a trip he took
to the Middle East in the summer of 1986, to convince the timid Iraqi
air force to bomb deep into Iran and increase Iran's need for
American anti-aircraft defenses. That way, the U.S. could get more
favorable terms in the arms for hostages deal.

The arms for hostages deal must have rocked Saddam Hussein when
he discovered that he was dealing with people who were capable of
showing him a thing or two about deception and ruthless cynicism.
Here he thought that the U.S. government was squarely in his corner,
and then all of a sudden he discovers that his good friends were busy
arming his deadly enemies in Iran. As a result, the Reagan
Administration found itself obliged to increase earlier benefits to
Saddam Hussein, to make-up ground lost by the arms for hostages deal.
This is the process that George Bush pushed hard as Vice President,
and then even more vigorously, as President, coddling Saddam Hussein
and ignoring the warnings.

As a result of that program of favoritism for Iraq, billions of
dollars of credit flowed from our country to Saddam Hussein. Some of
that money was guaranteed by U.S. taxpayers, and U.S. taxpayers are
now holding the bag for almost $2 billion in these loans. Many
billions more were siphoned off from the Atlanta branch office of an
Italian bank. The Bush Administration had plenty of warning that
these funds were being misused: specifically, that they were being
diverted to military purposes by Saddam Hussein, and even more
alarmingly, that they were being used to help him in a global effort
to purchase the means to create chemical, biological and nuclear
weapons.

The Bush Administration has denied that it proceeded recklessly
in financing Saddam Hussein, and claims that it was merely trying to
coax him into the "family of nations." President Bush himself has
specifically and categorically denied that there was even a scintilla
of evidence that U.S. money and U.S. exports helped to build up
Saddam Hussein's military power. But the steady and quickening
stream of new information raises serious questions about the
President's explanations.

Those explanations fall short for example in justifying how the
Administration continued to push for loan guarantees to Iraq despite
clear warnings from the federal prosecutor investigating fraud at
that Italian bank funneling money to Saddam Hussein. New documents,
just released, show that the Chief Prosecutor in the bank case told
the Bush-Quayle Administration in the fall of 1989, that there had
been a multi-billion dollar scam involving the bank, and that the
Iraqi government was not only a party to fraud, but had been using
the money to buy military goods, and also machines that could "among
other things, remove burrs from nose cones of missiles and compress
nuclear fuel."

Now does that sound like someone you want to loan a lot of money
to? It doesn't to me and it wouldn't to most of us. But to George
Bush, unbelievably, Saddam Hussein still seemed a good bet.
Despite this fire-bell warning, and others similar to it that we knew
about before this latest revelation, the Administration went on to
force through more than one billion dollars in new loan guarantees to
Iraq.

All this took place after the end of the war between Iraq and
Iran, when our strategic need for Iraq had lessened. It took place
despite our knowledge of Saddam Hussein's use of poison gas against
Iraqi Kurds, and despite our knowledge of Saddam Hussein's continuing
hospitality to terrorist groups. And the reason it took place is
because of George Bush's fundamental misreading of Saddam Hussein.
George Bush thought he could turn Saddam Hussein into a tame stooge.
Instead, he got a raving and dangerous dictator.

The result is that, like a pilot flying in dense fog, who
refuses to believe his instruments, George Bush wound up flying
upside down. He disregarded every warning right until the bitter
end.

President Bush would have us believe that Saddam Hussein invaded
Kuwait despite tough warnings against any invasion. George Bush says
he made it clear to Saddam that he meant business. But the text of
President Bush's final message to Saddam was made public just last
week, and it is not a warning but a plea. Even top officials in
Bush's own Department of Defense thought George Bush's message to
Saddam was so soft and misleading that it ought to be stopped. They
tried but failed.

With 30,000 troops massed on Kuwait's border, Saddam Hussein had
to weigh the chances of a serious US response. He knew, what the
American people did not: that George Bush had, as Vice President and
as President, invariably accepted whatever abuse Saddam wanted to
hand out. Not only that, he knew from experience that George Bush
responded to such abuse not by cutting back on his secret generosity,
but by redoubling it. And at the decisive moment, he had in hand a
final message from an American President that deserves to be
described as base appeasement.

And so, Saddam Hussein invaded, and within months, the armed
forces of the United States began to move into position for what
ultimately would be a famous military victory. But let me remind you
that the Iraqi forces we were preparing to deal with had been
strengthened by the Bush Administration itself. President Bush
denies this. But again, we know the truth: the Iraqis were
particularly interested in obtaining high tech items from us, and the
Bush Administration swept aside objections from the Department of
Defense to make sure that the licenses were issued. The door was
gladly opened to send Iraq a broad array of goods -- sophisticated
computers and machine tools, and many other items that wound up in
military production facilities and labs.

Today, the Senate Banking Committee is holding a hearing to
explore the manner in which the Bush Administration dealt with Iraq's
export requests, and even more information has now become available.
Very little dignity remains to the President's assertion that there
was not "one scintilla" of evidence that U.S. exports had added to
Iraq's war machine. He has been contradicted by no less an authority
than the American who headed the U.N. inspection team, David Kay.

Meanwhile, it is clear that thanks to political interference,
the effort to get to the bottom of the Italian bank scandal has been
set back for many months. Prosecutors in Atlanta as well as the
original judge in the case have discovered that the Justice
Department may well have interfered with their access to vital
information. Now we have the spectacle of the Justice Department,
the CIA, and the FBI involved in mutual recriminations -- it would be
funny, if the result were not obstruction of justice, and if it
didn't mean that the truth will not come out until after the
election.

At the very bottom of all this are two central issues: George
Bush's foreign policy skills and our ability to trust him. George
Bush brags about his expertise and experience in foreign policy, yet
presides over a massive foreign policy failure and a cover-up that's
even larger than Watergate -- fueled by his own mis- statements. Now
he says he's going to do for our economy what he did for our foreign
policy. It makes you wonder how much worse he could make this
recession.

Or in Billzeebubbas case sleeping with the enemy.

"Enemy?" Jeezuz curriste; where do you live?

I thought W. only did what Daddy Bush wanted him to do? Thats what the libs have been saying.....and now this spin? Which is it?

What is today? :wink:

Leave it to okie to come up with really dumbass straw argument and LSM to agree with iot. If anything, Dubya takes after his mean, old bitch mother.
If only Dubya had taken after his father or the smart one (Jeb) had been elected instead of the sociopathic George W.

Remember when Bush 43 was asked about consulting with his dad on Iraq. The madman answered that he consulted with a higher fatherly power?

Oh my goodness, you mean when several of clintons aids said that it was monicas fault, it wasn't? I thought she was the enemy.

I would think that it would be hard for any parent to see their kid in a horrible situation, people calling him all kinds of names, death threats, hate, then there's the foreign enemies.
Whether your kid is right or wrong, you still hurt when they're hurt, no matter how old they get. then too, Mr Bush is in his 80's, maybe you'll cry when you reach that age.

Who are these "Clinton's aids" of whom you speak? Name three

Except that Bush 41 was crying about his favorite son, Jeb who will never get his chance and that the legacy of the Bush name will be forever ruined by the crimes of Dubya.

Anyone notice how Bush 41 expressed concerned over what his mean old bitch wife would think about his crying? There is a real pathology going on between them and this dysfunctional family.

Compared to Dubya and the bitch mother, George HW and Jeb are fairly decent human beings, or at least close to decent.

There's not a decent soul in that family. They are evil, corrupt people, and, as I said earlier, I hope every single one of them burns in hell.

And I hope they are raped by demons and have pitchforks shoved up their...
