I cannot seem to get away from the February 16th, 2000 interview done with GWBush and Jim Leherer. It keeps coming back and biting. It's all there. He says everything he has been saying today. He had intent, oh yes he did--plenty of it.
Online NewsHour: Newsmaker: George W. Bush -- February 16, 2000
With John Bolton as his nomination to the UN, he would have a spy. You see, I know I'm right when I say that Food For Oil program was co-sponsored by Germany, Russia, and France because they too heard Bush's words.
John Bolton and the mysterious Syria Documents. Ask yourselves what it means? Keep in mind that in Bush's interview in 2000 he spoke quite a bit on going to war with Syria. I heard R. George Allen speak on CSPAN. So I wrote him.
Here goes that letter:
Dear Mr. Allen,
You told the US today that our elected officials of the Democratic Party continue to obstruct the up-or-down vote. How would you like it if the voters slung similar dirt on the Republican Party by saying something like, "The Republicans are a paranoid war-mongering lot who cast blame everywhere else when they might be called to some accountability for their nefarious actions"?
That isn't too cool, is it sir?
All I ask is that you help to maintain an example in this world that is humane. If the rest of the world sees us as patsies then lets go isolationist. We don't need a spy in the UN. We all know that that is what Bolton is going to be-a spy. He wants to keep his eye on, as our president has said, "The temporary leader of Russia...", Putin.
Please allow me to remind you of Governor Bush's words to us from 2000.

Bush does plan on taking us to Syria. Why don't you represent us in America by helping to release the Syria Documents. Please, sir. I don't want my sons going to war there, or anywhere else for that matter.
I know you are in Virginia, but I do watch you all. Why? Because our people elected you. Please keep our needs in mind and check this fellow out closely.
Thank you, sir.

George W. Bush has done an absolutely terrible job of communicating the reasons for the invasion of Iraq to the American people. It should be self-evident that there were reasons which would justify this action for years and yet he has never talked about them. Hint-a Koran is flushed and riots break out, a bible is flushed and I just buy another one. In our world there are some who believe their god is so small he is limited to the pages of a book. When these people need to take "weapons of any destruction" to defend the pages of some book then the world is in danger and needs defending. Please note--I DID NOT SAY THEIR GOD WAS SMALL, I said THEY BELIEVE HE IS SMALL. The evidence is their actions. Second hint--I understand it was a different time in our history but maybe we, the American people, should have assisted in the fall of the Shaw of Iran. Maybe we would have better relations with our Arabian cousins.
Sire, Larry! Bravo! Yes, you are of course right on in that our president has led us blindly and ill prepared into a war we are fighting for all the undisclosed reasons. Yes, its a shame when anyone confines God to a few pages, a few chapters, or a human ritual. I agree with it all. I do say that we did help to see the Shah fall from the grace of his people. Remember, they had a democracy under the Shah. Here we are bringing the brothers of Iran democracy which essentially comes down to the public right to vote in public elections for those who will represent you and your country's needs. That's really all democracy is. This is what we are justifying this war as that and its partner cause--terrorism. This is a never ending excuse to be anywhere our leaders wish to take us. I call it clearing the land to make room for industry. Let's sit and watch, or bitch and watch, whichever we find more empowering.
