| 8480 01/31/2010 Getting Away With Murder: Bush, Cheney and Blair Sam Hamod, Ph.D. |
| Call it what you will, but GW Bush, Dick Cheney and Tony Blair have all gotten away with, and will probably get away with, murder. It's as simple and true as can be. They are responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans, Iraqis, Afghanis, Briton, Germans, Dutch, French, Iranian, Lebanese, Syrian and Palestinians--and they have yet to be charged with murder in the first degree or second degree (manslaughter). At this time, at least the British PMs have put on what may be a "show' trial of those who fostered the 2003 attack on Iraq, and Tony Blair is getting away with one lie and one fob after another. He has even tried to shift the blame for the attack on Iraq on to Iran! Not once has he apologized for all the deaths he has been responsible for; the murders of civilians at the hands of his military, and the deaths of the British soldiers who were sent in to the evil deeds against others. In America, no one has dared to do the same with Bush or Cheney; in fact, the Washington, DC media and the major mass media often give him front page news space for his specious attacks on President Obama, constantly saying that Obama should be more aggressive and go more often to more warfare--as if Cheney even mattered anymore. It is clear that he and Bush made a slew of mistakes in Afghanistan and Iraq and in the process were responsible for the deaths of thousands of American military people and hundreds of thousands, and perhaps millions of Iraqis and Afghanis. Yet, no one has laid a glove on them for their outrageous crimes, and neither has uttered a word of apology. I wonder what Blair, Bush and Cheney will say in the future when thousands upon thousands of American military and Iraqis will come down with major illnesses and cancers from the depleted uranium weaponry that litters the ground of Iraq and is in the bodies of these people, at this time already creating ticking time bombs in their bodies??? Who will take them to court, who will ask that justice be done to them. I have a hunch that Cheney will be dead by then, or if he's called to testify, he'll have a "heart attack" and be incapitated or be "removed" from life so that he cannot speak out and put the blame on Bush; Bush may find a way to say, "I didn't know anything, Dick Cheney did it..." And it will go on, with senators and congrssmen who allowed them to get away with their criminal acts, solemnly, intoning, "Mr. President, may I kindly ask you, with the best of your recollection, since it's been a long time ago..." Letting him get away with it all. These three men have gotten away with murder--flat out, and are still walking the streets as free men while many minorities in America and England are being jailed for stealing a loaf of bread, a candy bar, a pack of cigarettes, smoking a joint, or protesting the wars these men foisted upon the dumb populace of their nations. Tis sad, tis sad, tis sad that the people are so dumb to let them still run free, that these mad dogs could be respected, to be allowed to live in luxury, while others have died, and thousands more will die from illness and the continuing wars that they started and Obamaa is too afraid to stop, because there are too many of the old Bush and Cheney still around who might do him harm (especially in the military command and the CIA). Surely, it is time to call them to account for their crimes, otherwise, we will have let them get away with blatant, outright murder. c: sam hamod, ph.d. jan.31, 2010 |
