You know, the one to cover-up Cuba/Mafia/CIA/Illuminati shooting John F. Kennedy.
But I guess using the actual evidence rather than wild speculation is *VERBOTEN* in some circles...

(13,200 posts)How can you be so sure? Perhaps you don't believe that George HW Bush negotiated with terrorists to hold the hostages in Iran? Maybe you don't believe that the CIA was instrumental in overthrowing the elected government of Iran which led to the hostage taking? Maybe you believe that Saddam Hussein threw babies out of incubators in Kuwait and had a stack of WMDs that were secreted off to Syria just before they could be discovered by George Bush Jr.?

The possibility is there. But there still is no actual CONFIRMABLE evidence that Bush elder actually did this.
It wouldn't surprise me if Bush elder did do this.
But so far all that is confirmable is that he may have done this.
"Maybe you don't believe that the CIA was instrumental in overthrowing the elected government of Iran which led to the hostage taking?"
The CIA supported the Shah. That much is known.
Why? Because the Shah was "anti-communist," and he let the oil companies have their way.
"Maybe you believe that Saddam Hussein threw babies out of incubators in Kuwait and had a stack of WMDs that were secreted off to Syria just before they could be discovered by George Bush Jr.?"
That "babies thrown out of incubators" turned out to be false.
Likewise the WMD claims.
These weren't part of some "grand conspiracy," they were claims by different groups who had vested interests in their claims.
Kuwaiti and Chalabi's groups.

(13,200 posts)The WMDs were a creation of White House Irag Group and Dick Cheney's office, using various specious "intelligence sources" as justification. If you think Chalabi drove that debacle then you are a fucking idiot.

Why? Obvious. Chalabi has made tons of $$$ from it.
Now just cool off and dump the insults.
