Now that the Bush administration is groveling before the United Nations begging them to take over in Iraq for his messed up war, (Still no weapons of mass distruction - Still no Saddam Hussein) makes we wonder if we are going to rename "Freedom Fries" back to "French Fries". As it turns out - they were right and we were wrong. Maybe Bush's rich friends should give back that upper class tax break to pay for this war.

It's going to be interesting to watch Bush crawl back on his hands and knees begging the UN to forgive him. This is the price America will have to pay for allowing the Supreme Court to appoint a president other than the one elected by the people. Bush is a miserable failure.

There really is no moral difference between abortion doctor killer Paul Hill who was just executed in Florida for the murder of a doctor and his bodyguard and the terrorists who crashed the planes into the world trade center. Both were religious terrorists using God as an excuse for mass murder and thinking of themselves as martyr to encourage others to murder for God. Whether Christian or Muslim - murder is murder - there's no difference.
Is God so impotent that he needs people like Paul Hill to murder doctors in his behalf? Is Jesus really that lame? Paul Hill is certianly not someone I want to be in Heaven with. Sure not going to win any souls here! What's scary is that there are a lot of Christian in America who actually believe in killing for Jesus. But as far as I'm concerned it's Christians like Paul Hill that make me thank God I'm an atheist.
------
So - where is Paul Hill now? Is he in Heaven or Hell? Neither. Paul Hill has ceased to exist. The problem with the concept of Heaven and Hell is - who goes where. The hijackers who killed 3000 people think that they would go to Heaven and be rewarded with 70 virgins. Do you think they are up there with 70 virgins? Not hardly! But - Paul Hill? Not hardly either.
The problem with those who believe this is "God's Work" is - why doesn't God do it himself? To believe in Hill is to believe that God is so lame that he can't kill people himself so God needs assassins who will do the killing for him. It is to say that God is an impotent psycopathic murderer who would like to kill himself but gets Christians to kill for him. Is this the kind of diety that I want to worship? Yeah right!
If this were actually true then God is the problem - not the solution. But - this will provide a moral masturbation experience for a lot of holier than thou bible thumpers who will get a self rightous rush out of thinking they are God's warriers in the battle against Satan.

It would appear that the Bush Administration is positioning itself for an invasion of Venezuela next in it's phony war on terrorism. According to United Press International - a press organization controlled by the Reverend Sun Myung Moon (Moonies) - the FBI is accusing the oil rich nation of Venezuela of harboring al-Qaida terrorists. In the summer of 2000 Bush made an unsuccessful attempt to overthrow the elected president and install one of his oil cronies in his place.
It interesting to note that although Bush talk tough on terrorism, that he is not going after Bin Laden. Only 2 months after 9-11 Bush struck a deal with Pakistan to let Bin Laden go free and get away with murdering 3000 Americans. We have already invaded Afghanistan and Iraq in a fake war on terror and now we are going to start a third fake war. I am ashamed to call myself an American.

Analysis: Venezuela's Islamic links
By Martin Arostegui
Published 9/1/2003 4:11 PM
CARACAS, Venezuela, Sept. 1 (UPI) -- Intelligence agencies are investigating links between Islamic terrorist networks and the Venezuelan government. While U.S. counter terrorist efforts in Latin America have until now tended to concentrate on the "tri border area" of Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina, it's believed that al-Qaida suicide bombers could also be hiding in Venezuela.
Investigators name two Venezuelan based al-Qaida suspects: Hakim Mamad Al Diab Fatah who was deported from the U.S. on suspicion of involvement with the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks and Rahaman Hazil Mohammed Alan who is jailed in the U.K. for smuggling an explosive device onto a British Airways flight. American and British officials complain that their investigations are stymied because the government of President Hugo Chavez has dismantled U.S.-trained intelligence units which tracked terrorist connections among the half-million strong Venezuelan Arab community.
Chavez has instead brought in Cuban and Libyan advisors to run his security services according to American, British and other European diplomatic officials in Caracas.
Although the U.S. State department does not yet consider Venezuela as a state sponsor of terrorism, FBI officials express concern over "a lack of cooperation on the part of Venezuelan authorities." Despite repeated requests, U.S. law enforcement agencies have received no satisfactory explanation on the whereabouts of Diab Fatah, Venezuelan ID 16104824, who is associated with Hani Hanjour, the hijacker of American Airlines flight 77 which crashed into the Pentagon.
Fatah attended the same New Jersey flight school as the suicide team and talked about blowing up airliners. He was arrested in the U.S. shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks but was deported when official inquiries through the Venezuelan government turned up nothing on him other than psychiatric records.
The U.S. legal attaché in Caracas at the time, Hector Rodriguez, informed the Venezuelan Interior Ministry of Fatah's flight number and 8 March 2002 arrival time to request that he be detained for questioning. But to the amazement of American authorities, the Venezuelan government says that there is no record of Fatah ever re-entering the country.
Venezuelan National Guard General Marcos Ferreira, who headed the interior ministry's border control department and forwarded the FBI request to Deputy Interior Minister Luis A. Camacho on 5 March 2002, believes that Venezuela's security service or Directorate for Intelligence Security and Prevention is protecting Fatah.
"DISIP fetched him directly from the plane and took him to a safe house," Ferreira tells UPI.
There is no independent confirmation of this account and the Chavez government discredits Ferreira by claiming that the general was involved in a May 2002 coup plot against the government. But the Fatah mystery appears to fall into a developing pattern of Venezuelan state involvement with terrorism.
British law enforcement officials are similarly perplexed about a fragmentation grenade which got smuggled on board a British Airways flight in the luggage of another Venezuelan Arab as the plane stopped off in Caracas last February 13 on it way to London. Mohammed Alan who boarded the plane with Venezuelan passport BO974970 was arrested upon arrival at London's Gatwick airport when X ray machines detected the device in one of his bags.
Britain's main airports had been on a high security alert all that week following tip offs that a major terrorist attack was being planned.
"The Venezuelans can't explain how the grenade got past security screening but the fact of the matter is that it got on the plane," says a British diplomatic official in Caracas. Chavez has since turned down an offer by the British ambassador to provide counter terrorist experts to assist Venezuela's security services.
According to intelligence sources, the smuggled hand grenade's serial number corresponds to weapons stocks of the Caracas based 3rd army Division and could have been the detonating system for a larger bomb. An unconfirmed report says that a thin sheet of plastic explosive was embedded within the box containing the grenade which Mohammed took on board the aircraft.
An account of the incident published in the Venezuelan magazine Tal Cual maintains that the alleged kamikaze carried the device in a backpack which he brought on board as hand luggage. An air disaster was only averted because the flight crew transferred the bag to the plane's luggage hold when it proved too bulky to fit into the passenger section's overhead compartments.
"He could no longer detonate the bomb in midair as may have been the original plan," says a source quoted in the magazine.
Britain's Scotland Yard cannot officially comment on the case until Mohammed Alan's trial opens. There is still no scheduled date. But members of a detective team sent to Caracas are reported to be "less than satisfied" with information which Venezuela's interior ministry has provided on the terrorist suspect.
Venezuelan police officials speaking on condition of anonymity say that Mohammed's identity is manufactured and that members of his supposed family have connections with Chavez government circles. They could also be connected with a Hizbollah money laundering operation centred around the Banco Confederado on the resort island of Margarita which channels money into the establishments of several Arabs in Venezuela with known radical ties,
A U.S. trained Venezuelan intelligence officer who formed part of the disbanded counter terrorist unit, Section 11, tells UPI that Chavez has been withholding key intelligence from U.S. authorities about the head of Hizbollah's financial operation, Mohammed Al Din, a contributor to Chavez's presidential campaign.
The source says that his unit was eliminated while it was investigating suspicious cash transfers between the Banco Confederado and Lebanon during 2001. A Section 11 undercover agent was killed in Margarita where Diab Fatah has been recently spotted according to Intelligence officers. The island is considered a stronghold of Chavez's state sponsored militias, the Circulos Bolivarianos.

What amazes me is that the press is still sucking up to Bush even after having so many of their own murdered in Iraq by the US military. They deliberately kill reporters as a way of using terrorism to intimidate them - and yey they keep silent and say "Bush is a good ol' boy!" We are a nation of cowards. And the press has no tongue.
