British Movie Writer/Director Assassinates President Bush

by Don Anastas @ 6:05 pm. Filed under Uncategorized

Is this wishful thinking coming out of Great Britain? It’s sick and uncalled for despite the justification provided.

This is the dramatic moment when President George Bush is gunned down by a sniper after a public address at a hotel, in a gripping new docudrama soon to be aired on TV.

Set around October 2007, President Bush is assassinated as he leaves the Sheraton Hotel in Chicago.

Death of a President, shot in the style of a retrospective documentary, looks at the effect the assassination of Bush has on America in light of its ‘War on Terror’.

The 90 minutes feature explores who could have planned the murder, with a Syrian-born man wrongly put in the frame.

Peter Dale, head of More4, which is due to air the film on October 9, said the drama was a “thought-provoking critique” of contemporary US society.

He said: “It’s an extraordinarily gripping and powerful piece of work, a drama constructed like a documentary that looks back at the assassination of George Bush as the starting point for a very gripping detective story.

“It’s a pointed political examination of what the War on Terror did to the American body politic.

“I’m sure that there will be people who will be upset by it but when you watch it you realise what a sophisticated piece of work it is.

“It’s not sensationalist, or simplistic but a very thought-provoking, powerful drama. I hope people will see that the intention behind it is good.”

The film will premier at the Toronto Film Festival in September and was written and directed by Gabriel Range.

It’s my opinion that the writer, producer and director, Gabriel Range is no less than a sick twist and this protrayal is nothing more than a terrible swipe at George W. Bush. Reading this made me ill and angry. Where and when does the media stop with their hate? This is absolutely going to far!

Two Failed Presidents Meet

by Don Anastas @ 7:36 am. Filed under Foreign Affairs

Former Iranian president Mohammad Khatami is coming to the United States after he was granted a visa for the annual UN anniversary celebration. Harvard is offering Khatami a forum to spread his “message,” and is scheduled to speak at the Washington National Cathedral on Sept. 7.

xxx

Khatami’s schedule may include speeches at the University of Virginia and to an Islamic group in Chicago. He may also pay a private visit to Thomas Jefferson’s home at Monticello and meet with our worst former president, Jimmy Carter, who has agreed to meet with Khatami. How nice!

xxxxxx

Carter’s term as president was dominated by the rupture in relations after the 1979 Iranian revolution and the takeover of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, where 52 Americans were held hostage for 444 days until the day he left office.

xxx

Khatami was president of the Islamic republic from 1997 to 2005 and never disavowed Ayatollah Khomeini’s actions when he was supreme leader. He was labeled a moderate and reformer but was feckless and never stood up to the Mullah’s for change.

xxx

Carter on the other hand recently stated to Der Spiegel and The Daily Telegraph in interviews that that Israel was unjustified in attacking Lebanon. Speaking to the British Daily Telegraph, Carter condemned British PM Tony Blair for being too compliant and subservient to President Bush. How diplomatic!

xxx

Carter doesn’t believe Israel has a right to defend itself upon attack. “I don’t think that Israel has any legal or moral justification for the massive bombing of the entire nation of Lebanon.” Carter added that he believed he spoke for the vast majority of Democrats.

xxx

Khatami on Sunday emphasized the legitimacy of Iran’s nuclear technology development program. He is sticking with the hardline view so as to embrace his puppet masters.

xxx

Khatami conceded he had failed to implement his democratic reform program while Iran’s President, claiming he had bowed to the will of supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his hard-line allies to avoid riots and preserve the ruling Islamic establishment. “If I retreated, I retreated against the system I believed in,” said Khatami in 2004. A system he believed in? How does this mesh with his “reformer” label?

xxx

“The only way to save the country is to establish democracy,” said Khatami speaking of reform in Iran. “The way toward democracy is through and within the Islamic Republic.” Is Khatami speaking of radical Islam or the so-called peaceful Islam many in the West are attempting to see through all of the violence.

Khatami was voted into office by landside majority in 1997 and 2001. Like Carter his presidency was failed. Students would later chant: “Khatami, Khatami shame on you! Incompetent Khatami, may our vote not bless you!”

xxx

Khatami responded, “I considered it necessary to save the ruling establishment.”

xxx

Now we have come full circle while Iran thumbs its nose at the West and continues on the path to nuclear weapons. Two failed former Presidents may meet and chat about their failed policies and Carter will lament on George W. Bush and Tony Blair as failures in leadership.

xxx

Carter is now a voice for the angry left and hate mongers at The Daily Kos and MoveOn.org. With the elections in November and the threat of a Democratic takeover in the House any rational and conservative minded individual should ask themselves one question. Do we want Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House?

xxx

Khatami will meet with the worst President in U.S. history and will visit a memorial to one of the great Founding Fathers in American history. This all seems like an insult to Thomas Jefferson.

Colin Powell and Richard Armitage – Ultimate Betrayal

by Don Anastas @ 8:01 am. Filed under Uncategorized

It is now presumed that Richard Armitage, former Deputy Secretary of State (2001-2005) is the Valerie Plame “leaker.” Armitage comes from the Colin Powell era and did the Whitehouse no favors if he, in fact, did leak Plame’s name to columnist Robert Novak.

xxx

Powell and Armitage are considered moderates, I would see this as an understatement.

xxx

Armitage signed “The Project for the New American Century” letter to President Bill Clinton in 1998. The letter urged Clinton to target the removal of Saddam Hussein’s regime from power in Iraq due to erosion of the Gulf War Coalition’s containment policy and the resulting possibility that Iraq might create weapons of mass destruction.

xxx

During his years in the Bush administration Armitage was an internal Administration opponent of the conservatives who supported the ouster of Saddam Hussein.

xxx

The Timeline Alledgedly Exposing Armitage:

According to an April 2006 Vanity Fair article (published March 14, 2006), former Washington Post executive editor Ben Bradlee said in an interview “That Armitage is the likely source is a fair assumption,” though Bradlee later told the Post that he “[did] not recall making that precise statement” in the interview.
On March 2, 2006, bloggers discovered that “Richard Armitage” fit the spacing on a redacted court document, suggesting he was a source for the Plame leak.
On August 21, 2006, the Associated Press published a story that revealed Armitage met with Bob Woodward in mid-June 2003. The information came from official State Department calendars, provided to The Associated Press under the Freedom of Information Act.
In the September 4, 2006 issue of Newsweek magazine, in an article titled “The Man Who Said Too Much,” journalist Michael Isikoff, quoting a “source directly familiar with the conversation who asked not to be identified because of legal sensitivities,” reported that Armitage was the original source for Robert Novak’s piece outing Plame.
Isikoff also reported that Armitage had also told Bob Woodward of Plame’s identity in 2003, and that special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald investigated Armitage’s role “aggressively,” but did not charge Armitage with a crime because he “found no evidence that Armitage knew of Plame’s covert CIA status when he talked to Novak and Woodward.”
Novak, in an August 27, 2006 appearance on Meet the Press, stated that although he still would not release the name of his source, he felt it was long overdue that the source reveal himself.
On August 29, 2006 Neil A. Lewis of The New York Times reported that Armitage is confirmed to be the first and primary source of the CIA leak investigation.

According to The Washington Note, Armitage has testified before the grand jury three times. Armitage has also reportedly been a cooperative and key witness in the Plame leak investigation.

xxx

In “Fess Up, Mr. Armitage” the Wall Street Journal states for starters, fessing up would put to rest the conspiracy theories once and for all. Bush opponents have continued to promote this myth, with Mr. Wilson writing in June 2004 that “the conspiracy to destroy us was most likely conceived — and carried out — within the office of the vice president of the United States.” Not a word of that was true. The White House, in short, was not engaged in any campaign to “out” Ms. Plame.

xxx

According to the new book by David Corn and Michael Isikoff, Mr. Armitage never did tell the White House or the President, that he was the leaker. In October 2003 he told then Secretary of State Colin Powell, who told the State Department general counsel, who in turn told the Justice Department but gave the White House Counsel only the sketchiest overview of what he’d learned and didn’t mention Mr. Armitage’s name.

xxx

Powell and Armitage let the President take political heat for the case, while also letting Mr. Rove, Mr. Libby and other White House officials twist in the wind for more than two years.

xxx

The Wall Street Journal further states Powell’s former chief of staff Lawrence Wilkerson and intelligence officer Carl Ford Jr. did much to trash John Bolton’s nomination to be Ambassador to the U.N. in 2005. The State Department clique Mr. Bush tolerated for so long did tremendous damage to his Administration.

xxx

While President Bush is known for his loyalty it seems he never received the same from State Department officials at the top or then Deputy Attorney General James Comey, who according to the Corn-Isikoff book, presumably knew by October 2003 about Mr. Armitage’s role as the leaker and if the book’s account is correct, misled the White House with his silence.

xxx

It seems Mr. Bush has let his loyalty go to far and blind him to the reality that some of his closest members in the Cabinet allowed him to drown in false stories and media-liberal spin that there was some nefarious White House leaker to discover. Why did President Bush continue to let his closest aides, Scooter Libby and Karl Rove be hounded by a special counsel?

We should seriously question what specific ax to grind Colin Powell and Richard Armitage had and how far their insubordination and betrayal should have been tolerated.
