Vets and the Coward
By DOUG THOMPSON
Aug 24, 2005, 02:10

The man who dishonored American veterans by hiding out from the Vietnam War in the Texas Air National Guard added insult to injury this week by shamelessly invoking memories of those who died in war as a pathetic excuse to continue his illegal and failed war in Iraq.

Bush’s lame attempt so disgusted veterans attending the VFW annual convention in Salt Lake City that many of them wore “B.S. Protector” ear muffs during his speech to the group on Monday.

Memo to the dimwit now living at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue: When the vets who actually fought for their country stop buying your bullshit you’re in a lot of trouble.

Truth is, veterans, especially those who served in Vietnam, have long distrusted Dubya. They know he hid out from war, using his daddy’s connections to get bumped to the head of the line to get in the Texas Air National Guard to avoid serving in Southeast Asia. They’ve seen the enlistment documents where he opted out of overseas service, an extra step to make sure he stayed stateside during the war.

Real veterans can smell a coward and Bush stinks like a dead, rotting carcass – yellow through-and-through, a cardboard cowboy who can sign an executive order sending American men and women to their deaths in Iraq but one who didn’t have the courage to stand up and fight for his country when he had a chance.

Many vets joined in the patriotic fervor that followed the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and supported our military actions in Afghanistan to try and bring Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden to justice. Some backed the invasion of Iraq, choosing to believe Bush’s “justifications” for the war, justifications that turned out to be manufactured evidence and outright lies.

Now more and more vets see Bush for what he is – a lying, sniveling coward who does not deserve to be called Commander in Chief. They see a man who sent Americans to die in a war based on false pretenses and now has the gall to try and invoke the memories of real heroes to try and rationalize his illegality, immorality and cowardice.

They don’t buy it. Why should they? They served their country in war. He didn’t. He hid out like a spoiled little rich kid, afraid to stand up and face the enemy. Ironically, and sadly, the coward who used the National Guard to avoid service in conflict is now the President who sends Reserve and Guard Units to fight and die in his own dirty little war.

Veterans know Bush sold out this nation, its honor and its dignity by invading a country that posed no immediate threat to this nation and waging a war that didn’t need to be fought. They know the blood of more than 1,800 Americans forever stains the hands of a coward named Bush and every fool who supports him and his war.

They also see Bush as the President who cut their benefits, reduced their cost of living allowances and sent troops into battle without proper equipment, armor or safeguards.

Veterans who served their country have no use for someone who did not.

They have no use for George W. Bush.

The Right-Wing Cesspool Overflows:

A Pattern Begins to Emerge: The Dark Innards of The Political & Religous Right

It’s Ugly, almost Demonic, and people are talking about the AntiChrist— a deceiver who preys upon the faithful— as do Bush and other leaders of the "Christian" Far Right.

Like the green vomit and rotating head of demonically possessed Linda Blair, in The Exorcist, the disgusting demons of the far right are finally showing their true selves.

It seems that wherever you look, you can see the ugly demons that truly drive and lead George Bush’s right wing administration and followers. The Cesspool is overflowing, and the ugly creatures that truly drive the right wing’s policy are showing their horrific faces on talk radio, in response to Mother Cindy Sheehan, in response to the real democracy that is emerging in South American politics, in torture policies at Abu Ghraib, in the compromises for the Iraqi constitution.

There’s a new batch of Abu Ghraib pictures so bad, so shameful they will justifiably inflame the fury of the Arab and Islamic world. The pictures have been shown to members of congress and they were shocked. Truthout.org reports the following comments.

“"It was disgusting," said Texas Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson. "There were new ones that we hadn't seen before, and they're bad. I mean there's no doubt about that." Bad enough to show to Congress apparently, but not the American people.

The NewsHour's Ray Suarez said the images reportedly depict "assault, coerced sexual activity, rape, even dead bodies." Some may have originated outside of Abu Ghraib. Rep. Jane Harman said she saw videos of a prisoner banging his head against a wall and a group of men masturbating. "Some of the videos are more disturbing than the still photos that you've seen," added Sen. Bill Nelson.

Just as Pat Robertson has recently shown himself to be a totally out of control psycho, calling for the assassination of Hugo Chavez, these banned images show how out of control, how disgustingly perverted and sick the leadership chain has allowed itself to become. There is plenty of proof that these horrifically sadistic, pathetic acts of torture and degradation have occurred not only under the watch of Rumsfeld, Cheney, Gonzalez and Bush, but with their awareness and intentional support. We know that the republican led congress has made efforts to protect the perpetrators, perhaps even to enable them to continue their unconscionable acts.

Capitol Hill Blue reported, in a recent article, Is Bush Out of Control?

“Buy beleaguered, overworked White House aides enough drinks and they tell a sordid tale of an administration under siege, beset by bitter staff infighting and led by a man whose mood swings suggest paranoia bordering on schizophrenia.”

We have news commentators sliming, Plaming, and brutally, cruelly attacking Mother Cindy Sheehan, whose son was killed in a war started based on lies.

Over and over, the dark, ugly side of the right wing is showing its true, horrifyingly ugly face, like some second rate monster in a B movie. But these ugly surfacings are real. These awful words, actions, and behaviors are not fictional. They are shameful, outrageous and, most important, real reflections of the leadership of the group that is now in charge of the power in the USA.

These are not isolated incidents. I’m no believer in demons or the antichrist, though I did write an article last year, 'Anti-Christ George Bush and His Bishops from Hell'-- in which I commented,

“…their leaders have failed them morally, leading them to unknowingly make a deal with the devil, so they support the closest thing to the anti-Christ this planet has ever seen.

“The leaders, including Jerry Fallwell, James Dobson, Pat Robertson, Reverend Sun Myung Moon (owner of Washington Times) and too many Catholic Bishops, advise their "flocks" to support the Republican party”

There’s a pattern that is emerging, an ugly, hard-to-look-at pattern which we know the mainstream media will fail to pull together, though they may, in their desire to prey upon the worst in people, use the most lurid images and ideas separately. The pattern is the repeated, almost ubiquitous emergence of the mean, thoroughly disgusting, unexcusable evidence of who the right wing leaders really are. It is time to expose them.
