See, I told ya, Bush isn't the only one...
Larry Elder (back to story) February 20, 2003 When Clinton supported regime change The opponents of the Bush administration's possible military action against Iraq make the following arguments: "He's simply trying to finish the job his father started"; "No blood for oil"; "Iraq poses no imminent threat"; "Wars kill innocent women and children"; "Allow the United Nations inspections to proceed"; "Containment works"; "Avoid unilateralism, and proceed only with the United Nation's approval"; and the all-encompassing "No smoking gun exists demonstrating that Saddam possesses weapons of mass destruction." But Bill Clinton, four years ago, took to the airwaves and explained his authorization of non-U.N.-approved missile strikes against Iraq, using the very same arguments now advanced by President Bush. Yet the silence was deafening. Clinton, Dec. 19, 1998: "Earlier today, I ordered America's armed forces to strike military and security targets in Iraq. . . . Their mission is to attack Iraq's nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs and its military capacity to threaten its neighbors. . . . Saddam Hussein must not be allowed to threaten his neighbors or the world with nuclear arms, poison gas or biological weapons." George W. Bush, Jan. 28, 2003: "Year after year, Saddam Hussein has gone to elaborate lengths, spent enormous sums, taken great risks, to build and keep weapons of mass destruction. But why? The only possible explanation, the only possible use he could have for those weapons is to dominate, intimidate or attack. With nuclear arms or a full arsenal of chemical and biological weapons, Saddam Hussein could resume his ambitions of conquest in the Middle East and create deadly havoc in that region." Clinton: "Six weeks ago, Saddam Hussein announced that he would no longer cooperate with the United Nations weapons inspectors called UNSCOM. . . . Their job is to oversee the elimination of Iraq's capability to retain, create and use weapons of mass destruction, and to verify that Iraq does not attempt to rebuild that capability. . . . Iraq has failed to turn over virtually all the documents requested by the inspectors. Indeed, we know that Iraq ordered the destruction of weapons-related documents in anticipation of an UNSCOM inspection." Bush: "The dictator of Iraq is not disarming. To the contrary, he is deceiving. From intelligence sources, we know for instance, that thousands of Iraqi security personnel are at work hiding documents and materials from the U.N. inspectors, sanitizing inspection sites, and monitoring the inspectors themselves." Clinton: "Other countries possess weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles. With Saddam, there is one big difference: He has used them. Not once, but repeatedly. Unleashing chemical weapons against Iranian troops during a decade-long war. Not only against soldiers, but against civilians, firing Scud missiles at the citizens of Israel, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Iran. And not only against a foreign enemy, but even against his own people, gassing Kurdish civilians in Northern Iraq. . . . I have no doubt today, that left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will use these terrible weapons again." Bush: "Some have said we must not act until the threat is imminent. Since when have terrorists and tyrants announced their intentions, politely putting us on notice before they strike? If this threat is permitted to fully and suddenly emerge, all actions, all words and all recriminations would come too late. Trusting in the sanity and restraint of Saddam Hussein is not a strategy and it is not an option. The dictator who is assembling the world's most dangerous weapons has already used them on whole villages, leaving thousands of his own citizens dead, blind or disfigured." Clinton: "The decision to use force is never cost-free. Whenever American forces are placed in harm's way, we risk the loss of life. And while our strikes are focused on Iraq's military capabilities, there will be unintended Iraqi casualties. . . . Heavy as they are, the costs of action must be weighed against the price of inaction. If Saddam defies the world and we fail to respond, we will face a far greater threat in the future. Saddam will strike again at his neighbors. He will make war on his own people. . . . But once more, the United States has proven that although we are never eager to use force, when we must act in America's vital interests, we will do so." Bush: "Sending Americans into battle is the most profound decision a president can make. The technologies of war have changed, the risks and suffering of war have not. For the brave Americans, this nation fights reluctantly because we know the cost and we dread the days of mourning that always come. We seek peace. We strive for peace. And sometimes, peace must be defended. A future lived at the mercy of terrible threats is no peace at all. If war is forced upon us, we
joke: Dubya's State of the Union Address
Here's another funny. Reactions to Bush's State of the Union address, in which he called Iraq, Iran, and North Korea the 'Axis of Evil ANGERED BY SNUBBING, LIBYA, CHINA SYRIA FORM AXIS OF JUST AS EVIL Cuba, Sudan, Serbia Form Axis of Somewhat Evil; Other Nations Start Own Clubs Beijing: Bitter after being snubbed for membership in the Axis of Evil, Libya, China, and Syria today announced they had formed the Axis of Just as Evil, which they said would be way eviler than that stupid Iran-Iraq-North Korea axis President Bush warned of in his State of the Union address. Axis of Evil members, however, immediately dismissed the new axis as having, for starters, a really dumb name. Right. They are Just as Evil... in their dreams! declared North Korean leader Kim Jong-il. Everybody knows we're the best evils... best at being evil... we're the best. Diplomats from Syria denied they were jealous over being excluded, although they conceded they did ask if they could join the Axis of Evil. They told us it was full, said Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. An Axis can't have more than three countries, explained Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. This is not my rule, it's tradition. In World War II you had Germany, Italy, and Japan in the evil Axis. So you can only have three. And a secret handshake. Ours is wicked cool. International reaction to Bush's Axis of Evil declaration was swift, as within minutes, France surrendered. Elsewhere, peer-conscious nations rushed to gain triumvirate status in what became a game of geopolitical chairs. Cuba, Sudan, and Serbia said they had formed the Axis of Somewhat Evil, forcing Somalia to join with Uganda and Myanmar in the Axis of Occasionally Evil, while Bulgaria, Indonesia and Russia established the Axis of Not So Much Evil Really As Just Generally Disagreeable. With the criteria suddenly expanded and all the desirable clubs filling up, Sierra Leone, El Salvador, and Rwanda applied to be called the Axis of Countries That Aren't the Worst But Certainly Won't Be Asked to Host the Olympics; Canada, Mexico, and Australia formed the Axis of Nations That Are Actually Quite Nice But Secretly Have Nasty Thoughts About America, while Spain, Scotland, and New Zealand established the Axis of Countries That Will Allow Sheep to Wear Lipstick. That's not a threat, really, just something we like to do, said Scottish Executive First Minister Jack McConnell. While wondering if the other nations of the world weren't perhaps making fun of him, a cautious Bush granted approval for most axes, although he rejected the establishment of the Axis of Countries Whose Names End in Guay, accusing one of its members of filing a false application. Officials from Paraguay, Uruguay, and Chadguay denied the charges. Israel, meanwhile, insisted it didn't want to join any Axis, but privately, world leaders said that's only because no one asked them.

TPH FLASH Joyce will be on the first hour of the COAST TO COAST SHOW WITH GEORGE NOORY
FRIDAY FEBRUARY 21 Joyce will be on the first hour of the COAST TO COAST SHOW WITH GEORGE NOORY listen and learn whats new about the lastest press release below GULF WAR VETERANS ASSOCIATION QUESTIONS WHO STARTED THE OIL WELL FIRES IN KUWAIT. For the past six years, the American Gulf War Veterans Association have received numerous reports from veterans stating that US forces were responsible for the setting of the oil well fires at the end of the Gulf War. These testimonies are now being taken very seriously in light of recent revelations of the events that occurred during the first Gulf War. Joyce Riley, spokesperson for The American Gulf War Veterans Association is quoted as saying: There was intentional misinformation given to the American people to generate support for Desert Storm often created by advertising agencies such as Hill and Knowlton. * Revelations regarding the Incubator story, in which Republican Guard were reported to have thrown babies out of their incubators onto the cold floor turned out to be false and a fraud on the American People. (S.R. 103-900). * The St. Petersburg Times disproved the report of satellite photos showing a thousand Iraqi tanks amassing on the Saudi border. * April Glaspie, US Ambassador, gave tacit approval to Saddam Hussein to invade Iraq by saying, We have no opinion on your border dispute with Kuwait. * John Shalikashvilli, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and William Perry, Secretary of Defense wrote in a memo (obtained by the AGWVA) on May 25, 1994, There is no information, classified or unclassified that indicates that chemical or biological weapons were used in the Persian Gulf. General Norman Schwartzkopfs NBC (nuclear, biological and chemical) logs (also obtained by the AGWVA) dated Feb. 27, 1991, and March 3, 1991, clearly disprove the above statement. One veteran has now stepped forward and given a detailed account of how he and others in special teams, moved forward of the front, (behind enemy lines ahead of US forces) and then set charges on the well heads. We were mustered into the briefing tent at which point a gentleman whom I first had thought to be an American began to brief us on the operation. I was concerned because he was not wearing a US uniform and insignias. The information provided over a series of meetings with this veteran corroborates reports from other veterans who are totally unconnected with this individual. This testimony brings into serious question the integrity of the US government, as it provided information to the American public and military during the last Gulf War. The American Gulf War Veterans Association is presently dissenting on the war and has been joined by The British Gulf War Veterans and Families Association. Riley states that: Not only is it our opinion that the Department of Defense has not been forthcoming about the severity of our militarys illnesses, significant concern is now being raised over the causation as well.
Re: Mystery ships and E-bombs
If you want to look deeper in the truth start here... but be careful things should begin to clear-up and when that happens they will be forced to put their cards on the post haste or back off and reformulate. http://www.americanfreedomnews.com/archives/audio_archives/audio_files/koryagina_1.ram GOD bless you with all wisdom and may your understanding be fruitful kra 20/02/03 - Original Message - From: Astro To: The Power Hour Cc: Power Hour Flash Stats Sent: Thursday, February 20, 2003 9:13 PM Subject: Mystery ships and E-bombs Morewar scams in progress? The United States and Great Britain, fighting a losing battle against world opinion, have now announced that there are three "mystery ships" winding around the world's oceans, not going anywhere in particular, not using their radios, in other words, acting VERY and conveniently suspicious. The US/UK have announced that they have "intelligence" that these ships hold Saddam's arsenal of weapons of mass destruction. This explains why the US and UK 'know' that Saddam has banned weapons, even though the UN cannot find them. No support has been given for this story. There are no photos of the ships, no indications of plans to board and search them, and certainly nothing that links the ships and their contents to Saddam. And, we have seen prior cases where ships full of weapons claimed to belong to one group turned out to be a plant by another. Given that the US supplied so much of Iraq's banned weapons in the first place, how hard would it be to find some old cargo ships and load them up with identical munitions from US stockpiles? The US and UK claim they are afraid to stop and board these ships, because of the terrible environmental damage that would result if the ship the US and UK "know" are carrying weapons of mass destruction should be scuttled. Such concern for the environment is touching, coming from the nations that have showered the Middle East with depleted uranium weapons. But this claim does not withstand the smell test. If indeed the entire US and UK Navy could be held off by having some Anthrax on board a ship, every drug smuggler with a fast boat could make himself instantly untouchable by carrying materials equally unfriendly to the environment. 2/20/03 The US navy is boarding an average of six vessels a day as it steps up patrols in international waters searching for Iraqi weapons rumored to have been hidden on ships or smuggled overseas. David Osler, industrial editor of the maritime journal Lloyd's List, said: "It's becoming a bit of an embarrassment to them - they haven't really found anything." http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story/0,2763,899206,00.html 2/20/03 More on the "Mystery ships" story. http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/hi/news/5013011.html The E-bomb 2/19/03 This appears to be a hoax. The plans shown in this article will not work. The moment the bomb commences detonation, by the article's own admission, the coil creating the magnetic field shorts out. The speed at which electricity flows and induced magnetic fields propagate is far greater than the force of a chemical explosive blast, and a magnetic field can be compressed only by another magnetic field. It is my opinion that this E-bomb story is being put out to explain away the energy spikes which will be detected by other nations resulting from the clandestine use of nuclear weapons.

Growing like wildfire....Seattle is the latest to Condemn expansion of police powers
44 cities and towns have passed resolutions protecting the civil liberties of their 5,566,084 residents. Many more are in progress. http://www.bordc.org Congratulations to this week's new Safe Zones:Vashon-Maury Islandand Seattle, Washington;Ashland, Oregon; Castle Valley, Utah;Rockingham, Vermont; andYork, Pennsylvania! City Council takes aim at Patriot Act By Jim BrunnerSeattle Times staff reporter Condemning the expansion of police powers in the war on terrorism, the Seattle City Council yesterday approved a resolution critical of the USA Patriot Act, the broad-ranging federal law passed after Sept. 11, 2001. The vote put Seattle in the company of more than three dozen cities and towns nationwide that have passed resolutions critical of the act. They include Oakland, Calif., San Francisco, Detroit, Denver and Cambridge, Mass., according to the Bill of Rights Defense Committee. Seattle council members said they were aware that some might slam them for fretting about an issue that has little to do with the day-to-day business of city government. Indeed, the resolution approved yesterday has no real authority, though it requests city departments to post copies of the Bill of Rights in "prominent locations" in city buildings. "We may take some ridicule for this," said City Council President Peter Steinbrueck. "I think that's absolutely wrong." Steinbrueck and others said that with the nation poised on the brink of a possible war with Iraq, it was important for elected leaders to publicly defend civil liberties. "This resolution is not just whistling in the wind. This is, I believe, ringing the Liberty Bell," said Councilman Nick Licata, who traveled to Washington, D.C., last week for a gathering of city officials opposed to a war with Iraq. The Patriot Act expanded law-enforcement powers with the intention of making it easier for police to stop terrorists. Those powers include secret searches without warrants; reduced judicial supervision of telephone and Internet surveillance; and increased access by federal agents to medical files, financial documents and library records. The resolution, approved on a 6-0 vote (with Richard Conlin, Jan Drago and Richard McIver absent) yesterday, says such measures threaten the civil liberties, particularly those of "immigrants and ethnic minorities," under a "false pretense of national security or patriotic zeal." The measure also reaffirmed support for the Seattle police intelligence ordinance, which limits the ability of local police to gather or share information on religious or political groups. Federal officials have said the city may have to alter the ordinance or risk being shut out of an emerging anti-terrorism database, though no changes have yet been proposed.

A word of caution
From another email list Warning foranyone using LimeWire or Morpheus For many years now I've used a free download service called LimeWire. You can usually find songs, programs and other information others care to share.Lately, there have been a number of programs that turn up when you search for what you want that are viruses that plant invisable report programs on your computer. This virus doesn't do any damage but rather monitors keystrokes and URL visits and reports these back to another computer. This system has thought of everything you could possibly search for and has renamed this same file under hundreds of thousands of different names. It's the exact same file and comes from the exact same IP: 38.144.198.150. If any of your more advanced users care to back trace the IP, they will find it's the central computer for the Federal Bureau of Investigation located in the Justice Department building on Capitol Hill Blvd.I would warn anyone who uses LimeWire or Morpheus to beware of what you're downloading. If you ask for, say, Sunny Day.mp3 and you see a file listed that says something like this:Sunny Day (Awesome!) mp3 (Size) 302 kbOrSunny Day (The Real Thing!) mp3 (Size) 302 kbBe careful!!! First of all, any song will be at least 1,500 kb unless it's only a fragment. Second of all, why would someone put "AWESOME!!" or "The Real Thing!" unless they were trying to scam you in the first place?Every single one of those files in questions traces back to IP 38.144.198.150.I downloaded the file but didn't run it and sent it to a computer whiz friend who analyzed it by line code. It's designed to record keystrokes (whatever you type on your keyboard is kept in a file you don't know about on your hard drive and downloaded on command), record which websites you visit, copy your email and place a pass through any firewall so that the recorded information can be transmitted back to the main FBI computer.Beware, Big Brother is in place.Yours,Stephanie
US to launch War on Iraq from February 23-28
US To Launch War On Iraq From February 23-28 Report by Mike Gaddy China Central Television reported today that the United States would begin the war on Iraq sometime between the 23rd to the 28th of February. CCTV said it was quoting the Egyptian Gazette on the time frame that has been set by President George W. Bush. "All the units designated for stage one of the war must be at their battle stations by one of the following dates: Feb. 23, 24 or latest 25," the newspaper quoted US sources in Washington as saying in its "exclusive" report. By these dates, the Pentagon, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Richard Myers, and war commander Tommy Franks, must be able to inform the president that the armed forces are at their stations and everything is ready for the offensive to start, unless the countdown is wound back to the beginning again, the report said. The American troika in charge of war planning and operations, Myers, Franks and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, has assured the president that everything has been done from a military, logistical and intelligence standpoint to limit the duration of the war to 100 hours, meaning four to five days, it added. According to ABC News, the war with Iraq has already begun. U.S. warplanes have been bombing Iraqi so much, it’s part of the local weather forecasts in Baghdad. Other aircraft are dropping millions of leaflets all over Iraq warning people things are about to change, and explaining in short – “UN resolutions don’t apply here”. Small numbers of CIA and U.S. military operatives, and Psy-Ops are secretly working inside Iraq. American commando teams have been operating in Iraq's western desert, where the United States believes Saddam Hussein has hidden Scud missiles capable of hitting Israel or Jordan with nerve gas, sources told ABC NEWS These teams are dropped by helicopter in darkness. They stay for one to two days in order to hunt scuds, scout for future bases and plant surveillance equipment. Other teams, operating more openly, have set up small bases in Kurdish-controlled northern Iraq. They are working with tribal leaders, assessing their willingness and ability to fight.

Pentagon buys up 80,000 gas masks
Pentagon Buys Escape Masks for Local Use By Vernon Loeb Washington Post Staff Writer Friday, February 21, 2003; Page A25 The Defense Department has purchased 80,000 "escape masks" to protect employees and visitors against chemical and biological attacks and will begin distributing them next week at the Pentagon and 46 other leased buildings in the area, defense officials announced yesterday. Lt. Cmdr. Jeff Davis, a Pentagon spokesman, said the Survivair Quick 2000 masks, which cost $150 apiece, would enable employees, contractors and visitors to safely make their way out of a building or area that has been attacked with poisonous chemicals or biological toxins. The masks, which come packed in a vacuum bag, would not be reusable. Davis said everyone working at the Pentagon and leased buildings would receive training when they are issued a mask, which they will have to sign for. The Defense Department will distribute about 500 masks a day, starting next week, he said. Caches of masks will be stored throughout the Pentagon for use by visitors. The masks, manufactured by Quick Protective Systems Inc. in Stuart, Fla., have been tested at the Edgewood Chemical Biological Center at the Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland. The Quick 2000 is a hood that covers an individual's head and fastens around the neck. It has a breathing cartridge made of military grade carbon and "provides protection against a wide range of deadly particles and gases," according to Quick Protective Systems' Web site. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A38196-2003Feb20.html © 2003 The Washington Post Company
