A list of "chicken hawks" who never served in the active military. Interesting that they are amongst the loudest arm chair warriors in America today. Iraq wanna-attackers who themselves (most who were of draft age during Vietnam) never served in the real military: (Complete "ChickenHawk" database)
Why did George Bush Jr. order the dismantling of the Bin Laden Task Force prior to 9/11?
Was the George Bush Jr. administration involved in negotiations with the Taliban prior to 9/11 regarding a pipeline project to be undertaken in Afghanistan by Unocal Petroleum and a consortium of other corporations and nations, including Saudi Arabia?
Why were fighter interceptors not scrambled after it became clear that commercial aircraft had been hijacked?
Who made the decision to stop FBI Deputy Director John O'Neill from investigation of al Qaeda financial accounts?
What did Barbara Bodine, U.S. ambassador to Yemen, have to do with pulling O'Neill off the case?
Why were the Black Boxes and flight data recorders from the hijacked aircraft never recovered?
What was Saudi Arabia's involvement with the hijackers and the 9/11 plot, if any?
Why were pointed warnings received from Israel, Egypt, Germany and Russia, which detailed a plot to hijack aircraft and use them to attack prominent American targets, virtually ignored? Again, why were fighter jets not scrambled since this warning was already in hand?
What corporations are currently profiting from the War on Terror? In particular, how much does the multinational corporation The Carlyle Group, an entity steeped in petroleum production and weapons sales, stand to make from the conflict? George Bush Sr. is a major player in the Carlyle Group.
Israeli intelligence ignored by George Bush Jr. for politics?

July 2002 - Yet another Bush familty member arrested.
And yet another arrest. Why do the conservatives who supported George Bush Jr. not condemn the family for loose morals? 100% of the Bush family sprogs have been arrested! Imagine if Clinton's daugther had even one arrest as opposed the multiple arrests of the various Bush daughters (and sons). Hypocrisy is showing.
Family values?? ALL of the George Jr. and Jeb Bush kids have been arrested
The U.S. media is NOT liberal (even the New York Times)
04 Jun 2001. Just too many "coincidences" for the Bush family? Documented way back in 1992.http://caq.com/caq/BushFamilyPreys.html.
The Nation 30 Apr 2001. "During his first 100 days, George W. Bush's principal accomplishment, indeed his only one, was to demolish any too-generous illusions about who he is. The mild and moderate character who ran for President, claiming to want more or less the same things Al Gore wanted, has been replaced by a hard-edged, rather maladroit right-winger. Bush brushed aside his own rhetorical flourishes toward bipartisan civility and has engaged in a bare-knuckle (and politically tone-deaf) style of governing that most resembles the notorious theft in the Florida recount operation. "Read the rest of "The Worst 100 Days," from the May 14 issue of TheNation, available currently at:http://www.thenation.com/doc.mhtml?i=20010514&s=editors.
NYT 11 Apr 2001. "Mr. Bush is determined to push through a tax cut whose prime beneficiaries are highly paid executives and heirs to estates bigger than $5 million. Such people are a small minority everywhere, but they are thickest on the ground in places like the New York metropolitan area, and rare indeed in the parts of the country that put Mr. Bush in power. Meanwhile the farm states will suffer disproportionately from spending cuts.
At Washington's Gridiron dinner Mr. Bush joked that "you can fool some of the people all of the time, and those are the ones you have to concentrate on.". Or maybe it wasn't a joke; maybe he was thinking about rural America.
AP 31 Mar 2001. Is George Bush Jr. still on coke? Based upon this quote from the AP one might think that. "... the president announced that he thought our national parks, such as Yellowstone and Yosemite, have great potential for oil drilling,...".

The Oregonian 06 Feb 2001. "President Bush said Monday that the uproar over his choice of a conservative, John Ashcroft, for attorney general will not influence how he chooses judges for the Supreme Court.
"Look, my job is to fulfill campaign promises and to be true to a philosophy, and I'll be naming strick constructionists," Bush told a group of reporters gathered at the White House."
I thought that a president was supposed to represent all the people, not just "fulfill campaign promises". It appears also that Ex-governor George Bush Jr. does not want to acknowledge that most people voted against him. The fact is he was not "ELECTED" to fulfill campaign promises, he was "SELECTED" to fulfill campaign promises.
The key to dealing with the Bush people, however, is precisely not to accept them. Like most Americans, I have nothing personal against Bush, Dick Cheney, nor against Colin Powell and the others now surfacing as members of the new administration. But I will not reconcile myself to them. They lost the election. Then they arranged to obstruct the count of the vote. They don't deserve to be there, and that changes everything. They have earned our civic disrespect, and that is what we, the people, should accord them. In social terms, civic disrespect means that the illegitimacy of this administration must not be allowed to fade from view. The conventions of politics remain: Bush will be president; Congress must work with him. But those of us outside that process are not bound by those conventions, and to the extent that we have a voice, we should use it.
msnbc, 24 Jan 2001. "Just remember that this Administration is led by a Vietnam evader whose vice president and attorney general nominee dodged the draft. These shameless men have no scruples; they have no integrity."
Salon.com 12 Jan 2001. Ashcroft's nephew got probation after major pot bust. Although his arrest for growing 60 plants could have landed him in federal prison, Alex Ashcroft was tried in state court and avoided jail -- despite his uncle's crusade for tougher federal drug laws and mandatory prison sentences.
Ashcroft's nephew does not get treated as his uncle says drug offenders should?The Boston Globe, 16 Jan 2001, "...when Ashcroft faced induction into theArmy in 1967, at the height of the Vietnam War, he sought an occupational deferment from his local draft board on the grounds that his civilian job was critical. The Springfield, Mo., board approved the deferment. The critical job for the new 25-year-old law school graduate? Teaching business law to undergraduate business students at Southwest Missouri State University in Springfield. Mindy Tucker, a spokeswoman for President-elect George W. Bush who has been fielding questions for Ashcroft, said yesterday that SMSU was ''pretty adamant'' about having the new law school graduate teach there. ''He was not seeking to avoid military service,'' Tucker said, adding that Ashcroft supported US involvement in Vietnam."
IMO it sounds as if Mr. Ashcroft believes in fighting for freedom to the last drop of my blood.
Changed license in 1995 to avoid arrest disclosure
Bush took one step to keep [his drunk driving arrest] under wraps in March 1995, when his driver’s license number was changed. MSNBC.com first reported this in August 1999. At the time, MSNBC’s sources said that Bush got his license number changed because he was worried about an arrest record surfacing. “He has an arrest record that has to do with drinking,” a source said then. “He’s worried it will come out, but his handlers keep assuring him it won’t.” The allegation was not disclosed by MSNBC.com at the time because the arrest could not be confirmed. Also in August 1999, the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles told MSNBC.com that changing one’s driver’s license number was “highly unusual” and that it is done only when the holder of the license can prove that someone is using the license number for illegal activities. Repeated calls to Bush at the time were unanswered, until [they stated] Bush’s license number was changed for “security measures.” He declined to comment further. Source: MSNBC.com Nov 4, 2000November 03, 2000 Electoral, Popular Vote Split Could Get Ugly (Boston Herald) WASHINGTON - Both presidential campaigns are bracing for a nightmare scenario in the ever-tightening presidential race: one man wins the popular vote while the other collects an Electoral College majority. "It could get hairy," said U.S. Rep. James P. McGovern (D-Worcester). "We'd be moving into uncharted territory. It would open up a whole new debate." Texas Gov. George W. Bush's slim lead in the national polls over Al Gore coupled with the fluid state-by-state electoral vote counts has sparked a flurry of speculation about a split decision. The most intriguing scenario has Bush winning with voters while Gore squeaks to victory in the Electoral College. Such an ambiguous finish to the closest, most hotly contested White House race in decades, would give Gore a legal claim to the presidency - and likely plunge the nation into a messy political crisis. The Bush camp, sources said, would likely challenge the legitimacy of a Gore win, casting it as an affront to the people's will and branding the Electoral College as an antiquated relic.

Online Journal, 5 Oct 1999. As Marilyn Quayle bitterly told The Arizona Republic, "the caricature they made of Dan[Quayle] in '88 is George W. It's him. It wasn't true about Dan. But it is him. ... A guy that never accomplished anything. ... Everything he got, Daddy took care of."
