We had eight years of Bush and Cheney, Now you get mad!?

Rosie said pass it on, so here you go... (http://www.rosie.com)

You didn't get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and
appointed a President.

You didn't get mad when Cheney allowed Energy company officials to dictate
energy policy.

You didn't get mad when a covert CIA operative got outed.

You didn't get mad when the Patriot Act got passed.
You didn't get mad when we illegally invaded a country that posed no threat to us.

You didn't get mad when we spent over 600 billion(and counting) on said illegal war.

You didn't get mad when over 10 billion dollars just disappeared in Iraq.

You didn't get mad when you found out we were torturing people.

You didn't get mad when the government was illegally wiretapping Americans.

You didn't get mad when we didn't catch Bin Laden.

You didn't get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter Reed.

You didn't get mad when we let a major US city, New Orleans, drown.
You didn't get mad when we gave a 900 billion tax break to the rich.

You didn't get mad when the deficit hit the trillion dollar mark.

You finally got mad when the government decided that people in America deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick. Yes, illegal wars, lies, corruption, torture, stealing your tax dollars to make the rich richer, are all okay with you, but helping other Americans...oh hell no.

W. House ignored FBI concerns on prisoner abuse -probe | Reuters

Top Bush administration security officials ignored FBI concerns over abusive treatment of terrorism suspects, which one agent called "borderline torture," a four-year Justice Department probe found.

The FBI, alarmed by interrogation techniques such as the use of snarling dogs, sexual provocation and forced nudity, clashed with the Defense Department and CIA over their use, said the 370-page report, released on Tuesday by the Justice Department's inspector general.

Congress in 2005 banned the inhumane treatment of prisoners, and the CIA says it has not used "waterboarding," a form of simulated drowning, in five years. But Bush in March vetoed legislation that would ban the CIA from using waterboarding and other abusive techniques.

The new report quotes an FBI agent as objecting that the CIA's interrogation of suspected senior al Qaeda commander Abu Zubaydah was "borderline torture," and said at one point an agent helped care for him in the hospital "even to the point of cleaning him up after bowel movements."

Specific interrogation techniques for Abu Zubaydah were blacked out in the report as classified information, but the CIA has acknowledged he was one of three suspects subjected to waterboarding.

As nightfall does not come all at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly unchanged. And it is in such a twilight that we all must be aware of change in the air—however slight—lest we become unwilling victims of the darkness.~Justice William O. Douglas~

• • Surveiling ordinary citizens
• • Infiltrating citizens’ groups

Cheney seeks pretext for war as US reestablishes elite Air Force wing

The US Air Force has reestablished the elite fighting force which planned the 1991 Gulf War's air campaign and tasked them with "fighting the next war" as US-Iran tensions bloom.

Also, Newsweek confirms Cheney was looking to Israel to provoke "Tehran into lashing out." Democratic foreign policy expert Steve Clemons, who said this week that President George W. Bush had ruled out a first-strike on Iran, voiced concern that the Cheney team might seek use an "accident" as a casus belli.

"I'm not saying there won't be any war but nothing in Bush's posture suggests he's really with the Cheney gang yet," Clemons told RAW STORY. "But I do worry about the Cheney gang..."

More Proof That Cheney Is In Charge: He Mulled Israeli Strike On Iran

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Vice President Dick Cheney had at one point considered asking Israel to launch limited missile strikes at an Iranian nuclear site to provoke a retaliation, Newsweek magazine reported on Sunday.

Newsweek said former Cheney Middle East adviser David Wurmser told a small group several months ago that Cheney was considering asking Israel to strike the Iranian nuclear site at Natanz.

A military response by Iran could give Washington an excuse to then launch airstrikes of its own, Newsweek said.

Trinicenter.com - Cheney Orders Corporate Media to Sell Iran Attack

"They [the source's institution] have 'instructions' (yes, that was the
word used) from the Office of the Vice-President to roll out a campaign for war
with Iran in the week after Labor Day," Packer quotes Rubin, "it will be
coordinated with the American Enterprise Institute, the Wall Street Journal, the
Weekly Standard, Commentary, Fox, and the usual suspects. It will be heavy
sustained assault on the airwaves, designed to knock public sentiment into a
position from which a war can be maintained. Evidently they don't think they'll
ever get majority support for this–they want something like 35-40 percent
support, which in their book is 'plenty.'

"Needless to say, the sales job will be easy, as around 20 percent of the
public consists of neocon sock puppets and another 15 to 20 percent–plugged into
the electronic corporate Borg hive–will be swayed effortlessly enough, as
millions were swayed by lies and cheap tricks in the lead-up to the mass murder
campaign directed against Iraq."
