Master of puppets

category international | anti-war / imperialism | opinion/analysis author Tuesday September 18, 2007 13:17author by Seán Ryan Report this post to the editors

Bush's puppet exposed and incinerated.

Al Qaeda not in Iraq.
Oops
Oops

Last Thursday Bush went on TV to speak about 'success' in Iraq. This was a dramatic change for the president of Genocide. Up until this broadcast, the American public and indeed the world at large was lead to believe that 'victory' was the goal of the American War Machine. - When victory mutates into success: - http://www.indymedia.ie/article/84209

Initially, it had been Bush's intention to praise the efforts of his latest puppet in Iraq, Sheik Abu Risha the self proclaimed leader of all the Iraqi tribes. Unfortunately for Bush, his puppet was blown up a few hours before the broadcast. Bush instead went on TV and shed a few crocodile tears for his puppet and blamed Al Qaeda for the killing. Bush and Co. were never ones to let such a thing go when it can be used for propaganda.

Sheik Abu Risha wasn't a Sheik. Big surprise. Al Qaeda didn't off this puppet either.

In his televised farce, Bush tells his sheeplike audience that the Anbar province has been taken away from Al Qaeda, that they had up until then had their flag planted there. Yeah the surge was a success alright. Unfortunately for Bush and his propaganda, simple logic tells another story. Indeed if simple logic is not enough, a brave cameraman has got the proof of this farce on video. In doing the reconcilliation deal, Bush has formed an alliance with the Sunni Sheiks in the Anbar province. Interestingly, immediately after this deal was done, Al Qaeda dissapeared overnight. American troops can now walk in areas where days before they were afraid to send tanks. These Skeiks had also proclaimed that the false Sheik Abu Risha was not welcome. It's not hard to figure out who exposed and then offed the puppet. The Sheiks were not amused at the millions the false Sheik had received for reconstruction. It should also be pointed out that the surge had nothing whatsoever to do with bringing calm. Money and power for the Sheiks was the solution.

Meanwhile the Government of Iraq is going bugshit over Bush and his penchant for giving war criminals power and arms. It would appear that the Sunni Sheiks have been ethnically cleansing the Shia out of all areas. Those not butchered are forced to flee to camps, where there is no aid from any source. Indeed in the video I've linked to, it can be seen that the American military have taken a house formerly owned by a Shia family, as a new base. In this video, US soldiers tell the cameraman that the guards loyal to the Sunni sheiks that they are talking to were formerly shooting at them, that a short while back they were the insurgents.

Cameraman Rick Rowley, who went to Iraq and took some very large risks, may be the journalist who finally gets Bush's head on a platter. Rowley may also be the beginning with regard to the mainstream media finally starting to do their jobs.

Bush’s Fake Sheik Whacked:
The Surge and the Al Qaeda Bunny by Greg Palast - http://www.gregpalast.com/bushs-fake-sheik-whacked-the-...-1848

What does all this say about the Irish dimension with regard to their support of Bush and his lies?

What will Bertie say? Will the Greens say nothing?

The French and Iranians are currently talking tough. War has been mentioned. It seems that France is pushing the propaganda on behalf of the US. They must be believed, afterall, remember that they didn't support Bush's invasion of Iraq. Times are getting desperate. Bush, in my opinion must now speed up his plans to invade Iran because his days are numbered. http://www.eux.tv/article.aspx?articleId=14685

We must be prepared to tell our government the facts, when they begin the next stage of their fawning adoration of Bush and his plan for domination and genocide.
