Suskind: Bush Ordered CIA to Forge Iraq-al Qaeda Link

2008-12-02T14:51:00Z

Investigative author Ron Suskind reveals that the Bush Administration had ordered the CIA to forge documents supposedly from lead 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta to Saddam Hussein in a blatant attempt to produce a nonexistent link between Iraq and 9/11 to justify a case for war.

In addition, Suskind reveals that Iraqi intelligence chief Tahir Habbush provided British intelligence evidence that Iraq had no WMD's. The Bush Administration dismissed Habbush as "unreliable".

Fighting Terrorism "Indirectly" - Thomas Henriksen

2008-10-28T21:30:51Z

Complete video at: fora.tv

Hoover Institution Senior Fellow Thomas Henriksen argues that indirect diplomatic and military support are a more effective strategy for fighting terrorism abroad than are large-scale military actions.

-----

Since the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the United States has been involved in a string of conflicts, from the Persian Gulf War to Panama, Somalia, Haiti, Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan and the Iraq war.

What are the connections between these various interventions? What common themes emerge through analysis? What missteps were made?

Henriksen notes the use of containment, interventions, regime changes, and even humanitarian assistance as responses to rogue states, civil strife, and militant Islam.

He will also analyze the transformation from Washington's stability-first policy to its democracy-promotion agenda in the Middle East, which threatens this crucial region with instability, he says, necessitating a new grand strategy to confront terrorism - The Commonwealth Club of California

Thomas H. Henriksen is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution. His current research focuses on American foreign policy in the post-Cold War world, international political affairs, and national defense. Henriksen specializes in the study of U.S. diplomatic and military courses of action toward terrorist havens, such as Afghanistan, and the so-called rogue states, including North Korea, Iraq, and Iran. He also concentrates on armed and covert interventions abroad.

Henriksen's most recent book is American Power after the Berlin Wall (Palgrave Macmillan, 2007), which examines for the first time, in a single volume, U.S. foreign policy from 1989 to the present through the prism of America’s interventions around the world.

Henry Kissinger on War and Dissent

Former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger gives his perspective on warfare and anti-war dissent.

-----

Henry Kissinger discusses war and more with Peter Robinson as part of the Hoover Institution's interview series, Uncommon Knowledge.

War and the media - the two have not partnered so well since Vietnam. But in the days of the Internet, conservative talk radio, and Fox News, has the dynamic changed?

Kissinger says only a bit, and that the media remain heavily biased against military action.

Additionally, the 1960s concept that the U.S. government is somehow an evil enterprise is alive and well.

In this environment, Kissinger says our leaders need to present a clearer and more educated vision of the American role in the world - Hoover Institution

Henry Alfred Kissinger was the 56th Secretary of State of the United States from 1973 to 1977, continuing to hold the position of Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs which he first assumed in 1969 until 1975. After leaving government service, he founded Kissinger Associates, an international consulting firm, of which he is chairman.

Peter M. Robinson is a research fellow at the Hoover Institution, where he writes about business and politics, edits Hoover's quarterly journal, the Hoover Digest, and hosts Hoover's television program, Uncommon Knowledge. Robinson is also the author of three books: How Ronald Reagan Changed My Life; It's My Party: A Republican's Messy Love Affair with the GOP; and the best-selling business book Snapshots from Hell: The Making of an MB.

Former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan criticizes the Bush Administration's conduct in the run-up to the Iraq war, for conducting what he describes as a "political marketing campaign" designed to "sell the war to the American people."

-----

Formerly a member of Bush's select, loyal inner circle, McClellan will speak with rare candor about his experiences as press secretary during the first three years of the Iraq War, one of the most challenging and contentious periods of recent U.S. history, as well as where he thinks the president and his top aides veered off course, and the lessons the American people need to learn as they choose a new leader - The Commonwealth Club of California

Scott McClellan is a former White House Press Secretary (2003-2006) for President George W. Bush. He replaced Ari Fleischer as press secretary in July 2003 and served until replaced by Tony Snow on April 26, 2006.

As Assistant to the President and White House Press Secretary, Scott McClellan served as the primary spokesperson for the President and delivered the daily White House briefing. Prior to joining the White House staff, he served as the traveling press secretary for the Bush-Cheney 2000 campaign.

Mr. McClellan began working as a gubernatorial spokesman for then-Governor Bush in early 1999. Previously, he served as chief of staff to a Texas state senator, worked on grassroots issue outreach in Texas, and managed three successful campaigns for statewide office.

Mr. McClellan is a native of Austin, Texas. He received his bachelor's degree in government from the University of Texas.

Schwarzkopf & Gates on why we DIDN'T invade Baghdad in '91

2008-12-02T14:51:00Z

From the 1997 PBS documentary "The Gulf War", an interview with former Commander of U.S. forces in the first Gulf War, General H. Norman Schwarzkopf and former Assistant National Security Adviser (turned Secretary of Defense under Bush-43) Robert Gates, defending the decision NOT to go on into Baghdad and remove Saddam Hussein from power after the first Gulf War in 1991.

An ominous and prescient warning totally ignored by the Neo-Cons in the Bush II Administration.

This is a re-release of my earlier video with the same title because YouTube kept cutting Gates off at the end.

J Street Redefines What It Means to Be "Pro-Israel"

2008-12-02T14:34:01Z

On the 60th anniversary of Israeli independence, the new American-Jewish lobbying group J Street is calling for peace in the Middle East through peaceful, diplomatic means.

For far too long, the neocons, Christian evangelicals, and conservative Jewish leaders have defined what it means to be "pro-Israel" in our country. They have purported themselves as the only friends Israel has in the U.S.; they have dictated U.S.-Israeli policies; and they have erroneously painted Bush as Israel's staunchest friend in Washington. By perpetuating the myths about what it means to be "pro-Israel," the neocons have suggested that you can't be simultaneously pro-Israel and pro-peace. Well, the dovish J Street is here to change the definition of the term.

J Street wants the U.S. government to take a stronger hand in putting diplomatic pressure on the Israeli government and other Arab nations. They believe the neocons have undercut Israel's longterm security. And they feel that Bush has basically been a cheerleader when it's come to Israel, when what he should have been was a referee, brokering peaceful Arab-Israeli negotiations and compromises.

Bush41: tears over Iraqi POWs. Defends not invading Baghdad.

2008-12-02T14:51:02Z

Former President George HW Bush gets emotional talking about how well U.S. troops treated captured Iraqi soldiers during the 1991 Gulf War, how hard it was to put troops in harms way, and defends his decision NOT to invade Baghdad.

Had this interview of taken place ten years earlier, he would of been bursting with pride, not tears, over how we treat prisoners of war.

Today, his son's administration is debating the use of *torture* on Iraqi's, has sent hundreds of thousands into harms way, is responsible to nearly FOUR THOUSAND dead U.S. troops, and has trapped the U.S. in a quagmire without end in Iraq.
