Democrats BETTER NOT! apologize to Don Rumsfeld; Dick Cheney's Incompetence and Corruption Viceroy of War....
Democrats BETTER NOT! apologize for criticizing Donald Rumsfeld's brutally cruel, ruthlessly CORRUPT, tragically INCOMPETENT war in Iraq.
When the history of the first 6 years of the Bush administration are written, it will be noted that THE ONLY SUCCESSES of the Bush-Rove-Cheney White House have been in #1.) CORRUPTING the US government with ruthless intimidation and purging of non-Right-Wing officials from the US government (as for example Ambassador Wilson's wife Valerie Plame exposed as a CIA undercover agent by the Rove-Cheney-Libby White House operation to "out" her name to administration-friendly reporters as means of intimidating Ambassador Wilson and other administration critics); #2.) REWARDING their base with multi-billion-dollar, government-busting tax cuts and (as with the $13 billion taxpayer subsidsidies to the pharmaceutical industry, OUTRIGHT GIFTS), and #3.) COWING THE DEMOCRATS.
Other than these DOMESTIC 'successes' of corrupting the US government, press and COWING the Democrats, the Bush administration CAN_NOT_POINT_TO_A_SINGLE_SUCCESS..... unless one considers ETHNICALLY CLEANSING New Orleans of Black citizens and voters to be a "success."
And... we here at C-dems.blgspt.com must insist - the AIPAC (pro-Israel) tendency to SUPPORT ALL WAR POLICIES of the Bush administration (including support for torture and suspension of the Geneva Conventions) MUST BE QUELLED in the Democratic Party if there is to be ANY HOPE FOR AMERICAN DEMOCRACY in the future.
This above statement is NO exaggeration: With Republican MONOPOLY control of the ENTIRE US government, the Bush administration's dictatorial tendencies on social budget slashings, secret billion-dollar contracts, the suspension of Geneva conventions, the use of death squads oversees, the endless-war agenda, the control and containment of protest in America, and the PRIVATIZATION of the American voting process, the Bush-Republican party is ALREADY FLIRTING with TOTALITARIANISM HERE in AMERICA.
All that would be needed to trigger a MARTIAL LAW STATE OF EMERGENCY that would SUSPEND ELECTIONS indefinitely, would be for another terror attack to occur in the United States. We could easily argue that the Bush administration is ROLLING OUT THE RED CARPET for such a new terrorist attack - the Bush administration has done WORSE_THAN_NOTHING (in the exact words of a New York Times editorial on the subject, 14 June 2006 http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/14/opinion/14wed2.html) to prepare the nation's vulnerable CHEMICAL PLANTS and ENERGY REFINEMENT facilities for attack, the type of attacks that, of course, ALL NATION"S COMMANDOS or special-forces have been preparing for since the days of W.W.II at the very least.
And TOTALITARIAN minded authortarians in and around the US government DO NOT EVEN NEED commando or sapper attackers to wreak havoc on American targets - - - due to Bush admin. INEPTNESS, INCOMPETENCE, and/or outright TREACHERY, the ANTHRAX Attacker(s) is/are STILL OUT THERE IN AMERICA, and could, with a single visit to one mailbox (sending letters in different directions across the nation) SHUT DOWN THE Nation's ENTIRE POSTAL SYSTEM, wreaking havoc on the economy and industry in the process, and thereby TRIGGERING that MARTIAL LAW SUSPENSION of American rights and DEMOCRACY that Dick Cheney, Don Rumsfeld, and Alberto Gonzales (et al.) so clearly lust for.

Democrats in September of 2006 have a choice: go with the Lieberman/Zell Miller "ARBEIT MACHT FREI" agenda that despises Democratic voters, or go with the long tradition of AMERICA's DEMOCRACY and hold Mr. Bush, Mr. Cheney, and Mr. Rumsfeld ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR LIES, INCOMPETENCE, CORRUPTION, and INTIMIDATIONS.

Rumsfeld REACHES OUT to Democrats [NOT!]
By ANNE PLUMMER FLAHERTY, Associated Press Writer Fri Sep 1, 2006

WASHINGTON - Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld reached out to Democrats late Friday, opening up the door for them to retract their stinging indictment of him as Pentagon chief.
In a letter to Congress's top Democrats, Rumsfeld said recent remarks he made during a speech in Salt Lake City were misrepresented by the media, including by the Associated Press. Rumsfeld said he was "concerned" by the reaction of Democrats, many of whom called for his resignation and said he was treading on dangerous territory.
"I know you agree that with America under attack and U.S. troops in the field, our national debate on this should be constructive," Rumsfeld wrote Friday.
During his speech before thousands of veterans Tuesday, Rumsfeld said the world faces "a new type of fascism" and warned against repeating the pre-World War II mistake of appeasement. He alluded to critics of the Bush administration's war policies in terms associated with the failure to stop Nazism in the 1930s, "a time when a certain amount of cynicism and moral confusion set in among the Western democracies."
Without explicitly citing Bush critics at home or abroad, he said "it is apparent that many have still not learned history's lessons." Aides to Rumsfeld said later he was not accusing the administration's critics of trying to appease the terrorists but was cautioning against a repeat of errors made in earlier eras.
"Thought and careful preparation went into what I said," Rumsfeld wrote in the letter. "It is absolutely essential for us to look at lessons of history in this critical moment in the war on terror." I was honored by the reception my statements received from our veterans.
Pentagon press secretary Eric Ruff said Rumsfeld's letter "reaffirms his Salt Lake City speech and it suggests lawmakers who have criticized his remarks move beyond politics and read it for what it is." Ruff said the "speech raises important questions about how America and free societies are going to confront the 21st Century terrorists who are serious, lethal and relentless."
Democrats said Friday they stood by their remarks.
"We did read the speech and he makes comparisons to World War II" that are unjustified, said Brendan Daly, spokesman for House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi. "He needs to explain that. We stand behind what we said."
Pelosi, D-Calif., had said: "If Mr. Rumsfeld is so concerned with comparisons to World War II, he should explain why our troops have now been fighting in Iraq longer than it took our forces to defeat the Nazis in Europe."
"It's always been clear what Secretary Rumsfeld said," said Rebecca Kirszner, a spokeswoman for Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada. "What's not clear is that he has a strategy in Iraq and to keep America safe. This letter doesn't change that."
Sen. Jack Reed (news, bio, voting record), D-R.I., also "stands by his earlier comments," said spokeswoman Regan Lachapelle. "No one has misread history more than Secretary Rumsfeld, especially when it comes to Iraq."
Senate Democrats were expected to meet Wednesday to discuss several issues, including whether they will try to force a vote of no confidence on Rumsfeld. Sen. Barbara Boxer (news, bio, voting record), D-Calif., has vowed to push legislation next week calling for Rumsfeld to resign.
"Nothing can change the fact that Secretary Rumsfeld insulted the patriotism of the American people, and he needs to be held accountable for it," Boxer said Friday.
