STILL BUSHED! IT WAS ALL PART OF THE PLAN-GATE
Olbermann June 4th, 2009 – Iraq Invasion – premeditated?

Damning Tapes Show Bush Planned To Invade Iraq, over A YEAR Before Elected President video – Kick Making Politics Fun
Keith’s away, and the mice will play bringing you an article there wasn’t time to post yesterday which I hope you find interesting. I did! It falls under the header “Bushed!”
A little ditty we start off with known as, It Was All Part Of The Plan Gate: A full year and a half before his election, and two before the terrorist acts of 9-11, George Bush sat down with journalist and Bush friend, Mickey Herskowitz on the record. What he says will be denied by some, and hit home with others. Please remember, we had no reason to invade Iraq when this interview took place. Watch in Shock and Awe as Gov. Bush tells Herskowitz his plans in much greater detail. I can’t resist an official “raspberry” to those who said I was a conspiracy theorist (or nut) at the time, so grab a hankie.

When Rachel joins you at the top of the hour, is anybody out there crazier than Dick Cheney? How about his daughter? She calls the implication of an Iraq/al Qaeda connection a liberal smear against the Bush administration. Oh my god, how high is she?
But first, because they may be gone, but their deeds outlive them, the headlines from the previous administration‘s 50 running scandals, Still Bushed.
Number three, Blackwater gate. The mercenary outfit now accused of three more murders in lawsuits filed in US federal courts by the survivors of two of the men, Azar Abdullah Ali (ph), father of three, a security guard for the Iraqi Media Network, and Rahim Kalif Sadoon (ph), a guard for the vice president of Iraq, killed on February 7th, 2007, the suit claims, as part of a shooting frenzy that began when an allegedly drunken Blackwater employee named Andrew Munen (ph) was alleged to have shot and killed Sadoon, quote, for no reason.
The suit claimed there were at least 20 Blackwater employees who witnessed the crimes, that the shooters avoided arrest because nobody in that crowd would say which of them had fired.
Number two, war crimes-gate. Once again, a kind of dog whistle in the dark that only Donald Rumsfeld can hear. Another UN special rapporteur, this one assigned to the independence of judges and lawyers, says, quote, “in a year or two, Rumsfeld‘s responsibilities will be established,” unquote, for human rights abuses at Gitmo. Early this year, the UN special rapporteur for torture said the United Nations had a clear responsibility to prosecute Rumsfeld and others. Now this other special rapporteur, Leandro Despoy (ph), says soon, wherever Rumsfeld goes, he will face difficulties.
Number one, it was all part of the plan-gate. More evidence supporting the long-standing report that a year before his election and two before 9/11, then Governor Bush told a reporter that if he ever became president, I‘m going to invade Iraq. Author Russ Baker quotes the long time Houston sports writer, columnist, author and Bush family friend Mickey Herskowitz as saying on tape, “he said he wanted to do it. And the reason he wanted to do it he had been led to understand that you could not really have a successful presidency unless you were seen as a commander in chief, unless you were seen as waging a war. The ideal thing was a small war. This was why Bush said nobody was going to be killed in Iraq because he thought it would be small war. His father knew that from Panama. Reagan knew that from Grenada. Maggie Thatcher knew this from the Falklands.”
Mr. Baker said he had the story and Herskowitz on tape before the election of 2004, that he approached the “Washington Post” and the “L.A Times” and neither would publish on Herskowitz‘s word alone. A low key point here, as we think of the wreckage that ensued by those decisions by the evil, irresponsible liberal media; we first reported Herskowitz‘s claims on November 2, 2006.
