"American Assassination"

A few months ago, I ordered a book I saw on amazon.com called American Assassination: The Strange Death of Senator Paul Wellstone by Four Arrows Press and Jim Fetzer. This is a remarkable book. It makes a very convincing case for the argument that Wellstone was killed by elements in the Bush administration, in order to tip the Senate over to a Republican majority, which would then be able to vote for the attack on Iraq. (Just a little side note...did they really have to worry about that many Democrats voting against the attack? I guess they just wanted to make damn certain that wouldn't happen. In any case, they knew that Wellstone wasn't going to vote for it, if he'd lived)

And we all thought it was bad weather that caused Wellstone's plane to crash! Well, guess again, folks. I'm sorry, I know you may not be prepared to believe this one, but I sure am. You know, you have to hand it to these people...they're good at doing what they do. They're sick bastards, but they're good at what they do. If it's true (about Wellstone, I mean), they managed to take down his plane, make it look like an accident, and squash any attempt to investigate the incident. Incredible. And they got what they wanted. They got their "war." Read the book, it'll open your eyes.

And now, the whole thing is going so well that Bush has to stage a phony question and answer session with the troops. And everyone knows that it's staged! He has to resort to this in order to give the illusion of support. Pathetic. This administration is reaching new lows every day....
