CLINTONS CONNECTED TO THE GEORGE ALLEN LYNCHING
Are Saddams Saddemocrats Behind The George Allen Lynching
Politics and Bedfellows An Age Old Story Told Once Again We start
with the following excerpt from:
http://newsbusters.org/node/7862
“TFL started in 1996 by Dr. Ken Shelton of Hendersonville
Radiological Consultants and is currently operating out of an office
on the Pardee Hospital campus. Pardee Hospital Foundation acts as
TFL’s fiscal agent and provides TFL with 501c3 nonprofit status.
Interesting that Shelton claims that an Allen Presidential candidacy
is what made him so suddenly concerned as to begin writing down
recollections several months ago. Exactly how much prodding did his
memory require if this was so significant at the time?...”
SOURCE: http://newsbusters.org/node/7862
We are very interested to know whether Todd Webb is related to
James Webb, a.k.a. Jim Webb, who is running against Senator Allen in
Virginia. Relatively speaking, in a manner of speaking we do not
know if
Senator George Allen’s opponent in the 2006 US Senate race James
Webb is related to Todd Webb. Todd Webb? You may remember Todd
Webb’s name from his listing as the “Pardee Hospital Foundation Treasurer Todd A. Webb” at:
http://pardeehospital.org/foundation/who_we_are/board/index.htm and
Pardee Hospital. We do not believe radiologist Ken Shelton’s tall
tale about Senator Allen. We think that tall tale may well have been
inspired
by a number of things. Let’s share those things with you here. We
firmly believe Senator Allen’s denial of the deer head story.
How it was fabricated. Who fabricated it, remains to be seen.
Here now some background material to consider:
“HBO BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT April 22, 2005 Episode #309 “REAL TIME
WITH BILL MAHER” BILL MAHER JANE FONDA (via satellite) JOE
SCARBOROUGH MAUREEN DOWD Sen. ALAN SIMPSON ROBERT F. KENNEDY, JR.
(via satellite)
(Senator)SIMPSON: I was on federal probation when I was a kid—
MAHER: No.
(Senator) SIMPSON: --for shooting mailboxes. [laughter]
SCARBOROUGH : Front page of the L.A. Times says – and this is in the
lead – front page of the L.A. Times – that some more information is
coming out about John Bolton that proves he’s not fit to serve at
the U.N. Why, he once slammed a phone down and yelled at somebody.
Three years from now, Hillary Clinton is going to be running for
President of the United States, and I wonder if the same Democratic
Senators that think him slamming the phone down disqualifies him are
going to think Hillary – or running down a hall in Russia and
shooting documents underneath the doors, should disqualify him –will
disqualify Hillary Clinton from being President of the United States
because she threw lamps in the White House residence. MAHER: At her
husband! SCARBOROUGH : Exactly. [laughter] The Commander in Chief!
“The Art of Political Humor
With Al Franken, Helen Thomas, and Senator Alan Simpson; moderated
by Jeff Greenfield John F. Kennedy Library and Foundation
October 16, 2002 SENATOR ALAN SIMPSON: I remember one of my
campaigns where this guy said, “You know, Simpson’s hiding something
from us.” I had told him I’d been on federal probation for shooting
mailboxes…” We think the Shelton Big Lie about the deer head in the
mail box was made up out of whole cloth, and was probably inspired
by the Simpson mail box incident and the Godfather horse’s head
incident.
Clearly Hillary Clinton’s damage control team had to have focused in
on the REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER episode excerpted from above. We
believe that what Shelton is saying is absolutely
untrue. “During a deer hunt with Allen in the early 1970s” Shelton
lied, “Allen asked whether black families lived in the area before
stuffing a female deer’s head into the mail box of a black
household. “George insisted on taking the severed head, and I was a
little shocked by that,” Shelton lied. “This was just after the
movie ‘The Godfather’ came out with the severed horse’s head in the
bed,” Shelton lied to the AP. Doug Jones, who said he roomed with
Shelton at Virginia, said in a statement that he never saw or heard
anything from Allen that supports Shelton ‘s claims. “I never heard
George Allen use any racially disparaging word nor did I ever
witness or hear about him acting in a racially insensitive manner,”
Jones said.”
Please pay particular attention to the following item in the article
below in which Senator Warner is comparing the invitation to the
50th birthday party for Larry Sabato to Marlon Brando’s “offer you
can’t refuse”.
Surely that line must have stuck with Larry Sabato.
Larry Sabato must have remembered that line.
“U.S. Senator John Warner, R-Va., compared the invitation to Marlon
Brando’s “offer you can’t refuse.”
In case you are not a fan of The Godfather, which starred Marlon
Brando Senator Warner’s 2002 reference was to Marlon Brando’s
character Don Vito Corleone, The Godfather,” Don Vito’s line, “I’m
going to make him an offer he can’t refuse” was voted as the second
most memorable line in cinema history in a 2005 poll”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Godfather
The reference is to a character being pressured by The Godfather to
use a film star favored by The Godfather waking up to find the
severed head of a horse in his bed.
item immediately below is excerpted from the Wednesday, October
23rd,
2002 issue of a publication called THE CAVALIER DAILY
“Life
Birthday Bashing
Politicians, professors and students gather to celebrate Larry J.
Sabato’s 50th birthday and raise money for the Center for Politics…
Katie
Sullivan , Cavalier Daily Associate Editor
… Clearly, these people could only have gathered for one reason—to
celebrate Politics Prof. Larry J. Sabato’s 50th birthday. Virginia
politicians, political analysts, journalists and University students
and alumni gathered Monday night in the Richmond Marriot to wish
Sabato a happy birthday... a few prominent Virginia politicians
humorously chose to light something else on fire—Sabato’s reputation.
The celebration, called the “Sabato Five-O,” took the form of a
roast a la Comedy Central. The event also served as a fundraiser for
The University of Virginia Center for Politics, of which Sabato
serves as director.
The Center for Politics, located on Old Ivy Road …After the crowd
made its way
into the dining room, former Virginia
Gov. L. Douglas Wilder introduced himself as emcee of the night’s
festivities, and proceeded to introduce a video, much like those
shown at bachelor parties.
The video started out with photos of Sabato’s youth, then moved to
doctored photographs including Sabato as Elvis and an onlooker in
the fateful photograph of former President Clinton and Monica
Lewinsky. …The program then gave six of Virginia ‘s most powerful
politicians
the opportunity to poke fun at a man who, as he himself claimed, has
predicted defeat for every one of them…. Virginia Attorney General
Jerry Kilgore
spoke about Sabato’s ability
to state the obvious and make it sound profound, then joked about
Sabato’s abundance of media exposure.
“He spends so much time in front of the camera lights,” Kilgore
said, “that when he opens his fridge at night he speaks for three
minutes.”… U.S. Senator George Allen, R-Va., cited a need to keep
Sabato off their backs.
“There are places we’d rather be,” Allen said. “But we didn’t want
to cross the good professor.”
U.S. Senator John Warner, R-Va., compared the invitation to Marlon
Brando’s “offer you can’t refuse.”
…Allen mentioned budgets cuts facing the University as well, and,
indicating Warner, said, “If he cuts your budget next year, Larry,
put it in your file as something mean a Democrat did to you.” Allen,
who attended the University as an undergraduate with Sabato,
remembered Sabato’s beginnings as a student who wanted to fight the
power of special interest groups. “Then I see this gathering,” Allen
said. “You make Hillary Clinton look like a pike.”
Other commentary centered on Sabato’s role as a professor...

itself:
National Conference for Community and Justice (NCCJ)
http://www.nccj.org/nccj/nccj.nsf/articleall/4499?
open document
that organization states:
“The National Conference of Christians and Jews, changed its name in
the 1990’s to better reflect its mission to build whole and
inclusive communities. The historic name confused many, who believed
that NCCJ was an interfaith organization. Therefore the new name is
not a change in vision, but rather an affirmation of our abiding
commitment to embrace the diversity of our nation. NCCJ is the only
national human relations organization that focuses on a broad range
of “isms,” the multiple manifestations of discrimination and
oppression that are based on one’s religion, race, gender, sexual
orientation, bias crimes to racial profiling - the challenges ahead
are real. To confront and overcome them, NCCJ maintains an abiding
commitment to work with decision-makers and leaders to support their
work to build an inclusive society.” Now all of these things are of
course worthy goals. Medical research is admirable, so is fighting
the ills of tobacco, although Webb himself admits to being someone
who has chewed tobacco for many years, and certainly fighting
discrimination of any sort is a worthy goal.
The following item on Jim
Webb,
a.k.a. James Webb. comes from his campaign website:
“In government, Jim served in the U.S. Congress as counsel to the
House
Committee on Veterans Affairs from l977 to l98l”
source: http://www.webbforsenate.com/biography/
We wonder what sort of useful and lasting contact Jim Webb, a.k.a.
James Webb,
might have made while he “served in the U.S. Congress as counsel to
the House
Committee on Veterans Affairs from l977 to l98l”.
“Public release date: 22-Jan-1998

We hope that you will rember the name of the James H. Cummings
Foundation of Buffalo in the article above.
It is the interesting
cross connections between the characters involved in the character
assassination and overall lynching of Senator Allen that lead us to
believe that there are just too many coincidences involved to be
pure coincidence. However, to paraphrase Fox News once again, “We
report, you decide!” What do you think of the so-called coincidences
in this story? Are they more than mere coincidence?
Remember the name John N. Walsh Jr.? You do if you read Are Saddams
Saddemocrats Behind The George Allen Lynching.
John N. Walsh Jr. is also a relative of John N. Walsh, III.

Recall if you will Doctor Ken Shelton. Dr. Who? No not the British
science fiction series time traveler in any of his many
incarnations. Doctor Ken Shelton is the man we firmly believe is
lying. Of course lies are nothing new to Saddam’s Saddemocrats.
Recall if you will the 2004 fake Dan Rather memo falsely accusing
President Bush on his National Guard record. The Big Lie is nothing
new to these people. They are masters of The Big Lie. We think
Shelton is falsely accusing Virginia Republican US Senator George
Allen. We believe that what Shelton is saying is absolutely
untrue. “During a deer hunt with Allen in the early 1970s” Shelton
lied, “Allen asked whether black families lived in the area before
stuffing a female deer’s head into the mail box of a black
household. “George insisted on taking the severed head, and I was a
little shocked by that,” Shelton lied. “This was just after the
movie ‘The Godfather’ came out with the severed horse’s head in the
bed,” Shelton lied to the AP. Doug Jones, who said he roomed with
Shelton at Virginia, said in a statement that he never saw or heard
anything from Allen that supports Shelton ‘s claims. “I never heard
George Allen use any racially disparaging word nor did I ever
witness or hear about him acting in a racially insensitive manner,”
Jones said.” Whoever wrote the frame up script against George Allen
may well have been inspired by the story told by Senator Simpson
regarding shooting at mailboxes and by the Godfather movie reference
at the Larry Sabato birthday party. Was it Sabato himself? Was it
French intelligence? Was it Hillary Clinton? We really do not know.
Who do you think wrote it? The first item below is excerpted from

plain.html “In the summer of 1994, they (Hillary Rodham Clinton and
then President Bill Clinton),traveled to Naples, Italy, again for
the G-7 Summit.” Whether it was at that summit, or at some other
time, we suspect that Hillary Rodham Clinton may well have met with
none other than Anne Lauvergeon. Anne Lauvergeon is listed as number
eight in The 100 Most Powerful Women at:
http://www.forbes.com/lists/2006/11/06women_Anne-Lauvergeon_YTCZ.html
The Delegations of France and the United States are described
below: “G-7 Summit Naples , Italy July 8th-10th, 1994 France :
François Mitterrand, President of the Republic

We wonder if Anne Lauvergeon and Hillary Rodham Clinton may have met
at some function or other of something called the “Young Leaders
Program”. The program is described as: “The Young Leaders is the
flagship program of the French-American Foundation and continues to
be central to the Foundation’s success in deepening understanding
between France and the United States. The program was created in
1981 in response to observations that the close working
relationships between French and American leaders in the post-war
period were waning as new, younger leaders rose with little exposure
to their transatlantic counterparts. From its inception, the program
has taken small groups of carefully selected up-and-coming leaders
in government, business, the media, the military and the non-profit
sector and provided them the opportunity to spend four days
discussing issues of common concern and, most importantly, getting
to know each other. The relaxed atmosphere and the off-the-record
nature of the conferences have fostered trenchant and open
discussions of policy and social issues, and have been very
successful in facilitating the development of a new network of
transatlantic leaders. The 18 meetings which have been held since
1981 have been attended by 250 influential men and women, many of
whom have gone on to positions of significant responsibility. Young
Leaders include such prominent American as President Clinton,
Senators Bill Bradley and Hillary Clinton, General Wesley Clark, …as
well as business leaders… On the French side, past participants
include several distinguished business leaders, such as, Anne
Lauvergeon (with Areva)…Roundtables are moderated by past
participants with relevant expertise. An emphasis is always placed
on creating an informal, frank dialogue: discussions are therefore
strictly off-the-record. The group stays together throughout the
length of the conference, with meals, free time and group activities
providing further opportunities to develop personal relationships
and networks, and promote cross-cultural understanding....”

“Iran Asks France to Oversee Enrichment
October 3rd, 2006 By ANGELA CHARLTON Associated Press Writer PARIS A
top Iranian nuclear official proposed Tuesday that France create a
consortium to enrich uranium in Iran, saying that could satisfy
international demands for outside oversight of Tehran ‘s nuclear
program. “To be able to arrive at a solution, we have just had an
idea. We propose that France create a consortium for the production
in Iran of enriched uranium,” Mohammad Saeedi, deputy chief of
Iran ‘s Atomic Energy Organization, told France-Info radio.”That way
France , through the companies Eurodif and Areva, could control in a
tangible way our enrichment activities,” he said.
Eurodif is a branch of Areva, a French state-controlled nuclear
manufacturer, and was created in part with Iranian backing in the
1970s.”...European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana gave a
cautious response to the proposal, saying the idea of a consortium
had long been discussed in his talks with Larijani. “It’s an
interesting thing, but it’s difficult to put it in place,” Solana
said on the sidelines of an EU defense ministers’ meeting in
Finland .Iranian state television, in a commentary Tuesday, said the
proposal amounted to a “a test ... to assess the extent of the
French government’s realism and flexibility.” It said timing of the
proposal following talks between Larijani and Solana “shows Iran ‘s
determination in seeking a negotiated settlement” over Tehran ‘s
nuclear activities....Iran’s participation in Eurodif was reduced
after the 1979 revolution, and now Iran has a “purely financial”
stake of about 11 percent through a joint French-Iranian company
called Sofidif, Hufnagel said.”

“It was hardly a secret that Saddam was aiming to develop nuclear
weapons. He ahd already shelled out $3 billion, purchasing much of
the equipment from the french. Indeed Saddam had even given an
interview to a Lebanese journalist in 1975 in which he called his
dealilngs with France “the first concrete step toward the production
of the Arab atomic weapon.”

“Although Saddam had been obtaining most of his arms from the Soviet
Union since the early 1970s, the top of the line equipment he really
craved was Western. So he had begun cultivating the Europeans,
especially the French, and in September 1975 he found himself flying
into Paris for a champagne reception offered by Prime Minister
Jacques Chirac. It was not long before France, which saw billions of
francs worth of business just over the horizon, began selling Saddam
missiles, helicopters, defense electronics, and ultimately the
materials and technology he needed to construct a nuclear reactor.
So obvious was his intended use of this technology that the French
press even allowed itself some grim humor, referring to the Iraqi
reactor as “O’Chirac” . After he approved the Osirak deal and other
weapons transactions for Baghdad, he became known in certain French
business circles as “Mr.Iraq.”

“Allivane did not discriminate between the two combatants in the
Iran-Iraq war. Back in 1983, it had signed up as a subcontractor for
Luchaire, a French company that was selling the popular 155-mm shell
to Iran. The Luchaire sales, based on false end-user certificates,
were approved at cabinet level in Paris and contradicted France’s
officially stated policy of neutrality. When they became public,
they caused a political fracas.”

“If Baghdad’s nuclear weapons ambitions were acknowledged by London
and Washington at the same time they were officially condemned by
them, the same was true of Iraqi chemical weapons development. The
Iraqis would frequently order BNL to provide funds to finance a huge
petrochemicals complex called PC2, located above seventy kilometers
south of Baghdad, near the natural gas feeder lines that came from
the southern oil fields. PC2 was to be the pride of the Iraqi
military establishment because it had the support of contractors
from the United States, Japan, Italy, France and Britain. More
significant, as Western intelligence agents knew, although PC2 would
manufacture normal petrochemicals upon completion, like many of
Saddam’s disguised operations, it would be dual-use. This meant it
would be able to generate chemical compounds needed to make mustard
gas and nerve gas as well. The head of Iraq’s chemicals industry,
Lieutenant General Amer Hamoudi al Saadi, was proud of PC2. Al Saadi
was himself a dual operative-his other job was as head of Saddam’s
ballistic missile and chemical weapons programs, reporting to
Hussein Kamel and his father-in-law, Saddam Hussein.”

“Francois Mitterrand’s political career spanned half a century, and
his 14 years as president made him France ‘s longest serving leader
since Napoleon III. Peter Morgan of Independent Television News
remembers Mitterrand just after his death. Morgan’s report precedes
a discussion between Washington Post senior foreign correspondent
Jim Hoagland and Charlayne Hunter-Gault.
PETER MORGAN, ITN: Francois Mitterrand worked at first for Marshal
Petain’s pro-Nazi Vichy government. Later, he downplayed his ties
with that regime and stressed his work for the Resistance. FRANCOIS
MITTERRAND: (speaking through interpreter) I started my political
life in the Resistance. It was there that I had my first
responsibility.
PETER MORGAN: But a recently discovered photograph showing
Mitterrand with Marshal Petain suggested a more uncomfortable
truth. Mitterrand continued to lead a political double life,
cultivating the extreme right and the extreme left to further his
career. Soon after the liberation, Mitterrand joined the government
as its youngest minister, but when DeGaulle returned to power in
1958, Mitterrand left the government. In political exile, the former
conservative discovered Socialism. DeGaulle always ridiculed the
conversion.” http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/remember/mitterrand_1-
8b.html “A recent biography revealed Mitterrand flirted with fascism
as a young man and was also, for a time, an admirer of the pro-Nazi
collaborationist leader Marchal Petain. Mitterrand himself helped
the author’s research and never disavowed the facts presented in the
biography.” http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9601/mitterand/ “Even in death,
Mitterrand remains a controversial and contradictory figure. After
the Nazi conquest of France , he spent a year working for the
collaborationist Vichy government… he defended associates who had
aided the persecution of Jews under the Vichy regime.”

Tiersky/dp/0312129084 Bitter Scent : The Case of L’Oreal, Nazis, and The Arab Boycott Michael Bar-Zohar Publisher Information:
New York : Dutton. Penguin, 1996.
ISBN: 0525940685
“The business of L’Oreal is beauty. It is the world’s largest
cosmetics firm.” This startling book shows the other face of
beauty. It is the story of how this giant company became a haven
for ex-Nazis. It reveals the illegal alliance the L’Oreal forged
with the Arab Boycott Bureau. And it brings to light the secret link
between the L’Oreal high command and the President of France
himself, Francois Mitterrand—a link cast in the darkness of the Nazi
past. Above all, it tells the story of what happened when L’Oreal
partner Jean Frydman, a former French Resistance hero who had fought
against anti-Semitism all his life, stumbled upon and exposed the
shocking truth about L’Oreal and its web of concealed Nazi
collaborators. Making it his crusade to unmask the cosmetics firm’s
long history of Nazi connections, Frydman filed suit against L’Oreal
for forgery, perjury, and racial discrimination. “Though the Nazi
movement of the 1930s and 1940s appears to be moribund, vestiges
still remain—and in some unlikely places. Official biographer of
David Ben-Gurion and novelist, Bar-Zohar documents the very strange
truth of how certain top L’Oreal managers collaborated with Hitler
and how they conspired to eradicate an existing Arab boycott on
their products in the 1990s. The story begins—and ends—with Jean
Frydman, a French-Israeli executive running one of the cosmetic
giant’s subsidiaries. Told to resign for no apparently valid reason,
Frydman launched a series of investigations and lawsuits that
eventually led to the resignations of high-ranking businessmen.
Jacques Correze, the president of L’Oreal’s Cosmair in New York
City , was part of La Cagoule, a band of Hitler sympathizers; and
Andre Bettencourt, a L’Oreal director and friend of French president
Mitterrand, was found to have been on the payroll of the propaganda
ministry of Nazi Germany. Revelations such as these shocked the
world press—and will probably do the same for readers in this well-
wrought, fact-filled book.”
Library Journal: “Bar-Zohar. a specialist on Jewish-Arab relations,
presents another masterpiece (previously published in Israel ) about
the corruptions and violations of France ‘s anti-boycott laws by
L’Oreal, a giant French conglomerate, with the ‘zealous cooperation
of the French embassy in Damascus ‘ and other important French
dignitaries. Bar-Zohar relates how L’Oreal yielded to the Arab
boycott of Israeli products, which started even before the birth of
the state of Israel . He also gives a fascinating look into
France ‘s murky past during World War II, following the complex
story of President Francois Mitterand’s right-wing connections
during his youth, activities as an official of the Petain government
at Vichy , and his continued and shadowy ties with top L’Oreal
executives. The author also delves into the shadowy past of L’Oreal
owner Andre Bettencourt, a cabinet minister, senator, and recipient
of the Resistance medal who was on the payroll of the Propaganda
Ministry of Nazi Germany. Bar-Zohar’s work is richly detailed and
clearly argued but not well documented. It is a remarkable work
designed for nonspecialists.”
Publishers Weekly: “In 1989, Jean Frydman, a director of L’Oreal,
the highly profitable Paris-based cosmetics conglomerate, learned he
had “resigned” at a board of directors meeting that never actually
took place. A hero of the French Resistance, founder of Paravision
(a L’Oreal subsidiary), a Jew and a part-time resident of Israel ,
Frydman suspected that his resignation had been forged to meet the
demands of the Arab League, which, at that time, was enforcing an
illegal ban in both France and the U.S. on businesses with ties to
Israel . He later began to suspect that the instigator of his
removal was Jacques Correze, a former Nazi collaborator and
convicted war criminal who was head of the company’s U.S. operation.
The ensuing lawsuits created a scandal in France . As retold by Bar-
Zohar, a novelist and a biographer of David Ben-Gurion, L’Oreal was
a hotbed of former Nazi sympathizers all too willing to bribe and be
pressured by anti-Zionists. It also had friends in high places, Bar-
Zohar claims, as high as French President Francois Mitterand.” http://www.a1wdb.com/cgi-bin/women/13503.html You can see a photo of Mitterand with Petain at:

“Trouble With Uranium Processing Co. H. Josef Hebert
Associated Press April 11, 2000 WASHINGTON (AP) - Less than two
years after the government sold its uranium business, the private
company it created to take on the job is mired in financial
quicksand. The deal is also jeopardizing a crucial nuclear security
agreement with Russia , critics say. USEC Inc.’s (NYSE:USU -news)
first 20 months as a private company have been anything but smooth.
Its stock has dropped 70 percent, its credit rating is in junk bond
territory, and its earnings have nose dived. Amid the financial
turmoil, lawmakers and others are questioning the sale. A
congressional investigation has been under way for a year, with the
first public hearings scheduled this week. While investors have
lost millions of dollars, some of the people who pushed hardest for
an initial stock offering have profited handsomely.
“A number of lobbyists, company insiders and investment bankers made
a killing financially,” said Charles Lewis, director of the Center
for Public Integrity, a private government watchdog.
In all, Wall Street bankers, Washington lawyers and lobbyists – many
with close ties to the Clinton administration – earned more than $75
million on the $1.9 billion sale, according to contracts and
interviews. Among those talking up the stock offering in 1998 on
Capitol Hill and in the White House were Susan Thomases, a New York
lawyer and confidante of Hillary Rodham Clinton, and Greg Simon,
formerly Vice President Al Gore’s domestic policy adviser. The law
firm of Skadden Arps, which represented President Clinton in the
Paula Jones case, was USEC’s lead attorney in the deal.”

“What Wilson Didn’t Say About Africa Joseph Wilson’s Silent Partners
By Fedora with help from a few FReeper friends Former ambassador
Joseph Wilson has been a leading spokesman for critics who accuse
President Bush of basing his case for war against Iraq on forged
documents purporting that Iraq attempted to buy uranium from Niger.
Wilson’s charge has been discredited by a Senate investigation,1 but
what
remains unanswered are questions arising from what is now known
about French
intelligence’s role...The role of France and Wilson in undermining
Bush’s case
for war looks particularly curious in light of disclosures about
Saddam
Hussein’s bribery of foreign political and business figures during
the course of
the Oil-for-Food program from 1996 to 2003. Saddam’s web of graft
spun in many
directions: among others, to UN officials,Russian and Chinese oil
companies,
British critics of Tony Blair’s Iraq policies, and US critics of
President
Bush’s Iraq policies, as well as France. Near the center of the web
was the
Banque Nationale de Paris, where Iraq’s Oil-for-Food revenues were
initially
kept until 2001, when they were redistributed among several
undisclosed banks
approved by Iraq. Meanwhile French oil company TotalFinaElf received
Oil-for-Food vouchers and held a contract to develop oil fields in
southern
Iraq.2

Already in December 2001, Russia had announced it would not support
a US attack on Iraq.3 Then shortly after President Bush’s January
29, 2002 State of the Union Address named Iraq as a member of a
terrorist-sponsoring “Axis of Evil”, France announced on February
22, 2002 that Europe would not support a US attack on Iraq.4 French
intelligence soon began a campaign to discredit the US case for war
against Iraq. In 1999, French intelligence had begun investigating
the security of uranium supplies in Niger, where uranium production
was controlled by a consortium led by the French mining company
COGEMA, a division of the French state-owned nuclear energy firm
AREVA.
Wilson, a lifetime Francophile, had spent the bulk of his diplomatic
career in former French African colonies like Niger.7 His second
wife from 1986 to 1998, Jacqueline, had served the French embassy in
Burundi as a “cultural counselor” (a function often used as a cover
by French intelligence).8 From Wilson’s experience in Niger he was
familiar with the Niger uranium industry. Additionally, he had
worked in Iraq during the days leading up to the Gulf War.
(Intriguingly, on the eve of Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait Wilson had
dined at the home of an arms dealer who bought weapons for Iraq from
France; a Vanity Fair profile on Wilson mentions his wife’s presence
at this event, but Wilson’s book states “I was the only guest.”).9
Wilson ran his company out of the offices of an investment company
called Rock Creek Corporation. Rock Creek was controlled by Mohammed
Alamoudi, whom Wilson had met in 1997 at a reception organized for
the World Bank by Westar Group. Alamoudi was a member of the Saudi-
Ethiopian Alamoudi dynasty, which was heavily invested in the
segments of the African economy Wilson was seeking to penetrate. The
Alamoudi-affiliated company Delta Services—a Swiss subsidiary of the
Saudi company Delta Oil—handled Iraqi oil export contracts in 2000
and 2001 and was revealed in 2003 as a recipient of Iraqi Oil-for-
Food vouchers channeled through Abu Abbas, a Palestinian terrorist
with Iraqi connections. Delta Services also cooperated with
Afghanistan’s Taliban regime in a project to build an oil pipeline
from Afghanistan to Pakistan, prior to this project’s suspension in
1998. In 1999, Alamoudi was accused by USA Today reporter Jack
Kelley of heading a bank which was being investigated for financing
Al Qaeda. USA Today printed retractions of several details in
Kelley’s article in 2004, after another member of the Alamoudi
family—Abdurahman Alamoudi, a prominent American Muslim lobbyist—was
indicted on terror-related charges involving a Libyan-backed
conspiracy to assassinate Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Abdullah.
Abdurahman was ultimately convicted in October 2004 and sentenced to
23 years in prison.12 Under Mohammed Alamoudi’s direction, Rock
Creek was chaired by Elias Aburdene, an Arab-American international
banking advisor and lobbyist who had previously advised banks linked
to organized crime and intelligence community figures involved in
the S&L Scam. In 2003 and 2004 Aburdene donated to the Sandhills
Political Action Committee, which was affiliated with Senator Chuck
Hagel, 13 a leading Republican critic of the Bush administration’s
Iraq policy.14
While Wilson was pursuing his foreign investment ventures, he also
served as a foreign policy advisor to the 2000 Presidential campaign
of Al Gore. A company the Gore family had a long-term relationship
with, Occidental Petroleum, shared business interests with Alamoudi-
affiliated companies in Africa and the Middle East, and employed as
Vice President for Middle East business Odeh Aburdene,24 who shared
a complex network of relationships with Rock Creek’s Elias Aburdene
and Joseph Wilson—notably, all three contributed to Arab-American
Congressional Caucus leader Nick Rahall,25 who supported Muslim
lobbying groups linked to terrorists and opposed military action in
Iraq.26 Abdurahman Alamoudi also contributed to Rahall, and sat on
the steering committee of Arab Americans for Clinton/Gore ‘96 along
with his associate James Zogby, who later advised Gore’s 2000
Presidential campaign.27 Wilson had worked as an aide to Gore from
1985 to 1986 and had developed a friendly relationship with him.
Wilson says Gore was the first person outside the State Department
to contact him expressing support when he was caught in Iraq in the
middle of the diplomatic crisis leading up to the Gulf War. In 1997
Gore recommended Wilson to President Clinton to help him plan a trip
to Africa. When Wilson began publicly opposing Bush’s Iraq policy in
2002, Gore was still considered a potential candidate in the 2004
election. Gore’s speeches were then being sponsored by the antiwar
group Moveon.org, which Wilson would support in September 2003 in an
attempt to petition Congress against appropriating funds for Iraq
operations.28 Moveon.org was financed by billionaire George Soros,29
who had business interests encompassing, among other things, the BTC
Pipeline that Mohammed Alamoudi’s Delta Oil was helping build.30
Later, after Gore announced in December 2002 that he would not be
running in the 2004 campaign,31 Moveon.org began supporting John
Kerry’s campaign.32 Wilson began advising Kerry’s campaign on
foreign policy matters around May 2003, several months prior to his
public entry into the Niger uranium controversy.33
Another question that might be raised is why Wilson and the CIA’s
investigation did not explore at least the possibility of the French-
led company COGEMA covertly allowing Niger to sell uranium to Iraq.
In Wilson’s book, while explaining the method that led him to
conclude the report of Niger selling uranium to Iraq was false,
Wilson explains that he ruled out the possibility of an off-the-
books transaction partly because “COGEMA, as the managing partner,
would have had to know and be complicit.”37 This seems to rule out a
priori the very thing Wilson was sent to investigate, and in the
process, to rule out the possibility of French complicity in arming
Saddam Hussein’s regime, which seems a hasty exoneration in light of
the fact that France had a long history of selling Iraq military
equipment and resisting UN sanctions against Iraq.38 It is now known
that in fact French companies were helping Iraq skirt UN
sanctions.39”

We thought you might wish to find out a bit more about C.A.I.R.
from “Daniel Pipes, a former Reagan administration Middle East aide
who now runs the Middle East Forum in Philadelphia and the
wonderfully informative Web site DanielPipes.org: Mr. Pipes says:
“CAIR is a particularly worrisome organization because it has
succeeded in portraying itself as a public affairs organization
promoting ‘interest and understanding among the general public with
regards to Islam and Muslims in North America.’ In fact, this
organization is radical to the core; it seeks nothing less than the
imposition of Islamist mores on the United States.” Mr. Pipes notes
that CAIR’s record includes the following: “Apologizing for such
killers as Hamas (a group associated with the murder of 7 Americans)
and Usama bin Ladin (charged with the Tanzania and Kenya embassy
bombings a year ago). . . . Helping promote terrorism: In the words
of Steve Pomerantz, a former Chief of Counter-terrorism for the
FBI, ‘CAIR, its leaders, and its activities, effectively give aid to
international terrorist groups.’ . . . Intimidation of patriotic
Muslims who disagree with CAIR’s chauvinist agenda: In one case
(Sheikh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani), the FBI is looking into charges
that he received death threats after renouncing the
chauvinists. . . Defense of even the most archaic and barbaric of
customs associated with Islam: When a prosecutor in Cleveland argued
that the bail of two young men being held for an ‘honor killing’ of
their female cousin should be increased, CAIR replied by accusing
him of ‘ethnic and religious stereotyping’ and called for a formal
investigation into the prosecutor’s actions.” In addition, as anti-
terrorism expert Steven Emerson has noted in Congressional
testimony, CAIR co-sponsored a May 24, 1998, all-day program in the
Walt Whitman Auditorium of Brooklyn College in Brooklyn, New York.
As Mr. Emerson testified, “In Arabic,Wagdi Ghuniem, a militant
Islamic cleric from Egypt, mesmerized his audience, with his
relentless tirade against the Jews, reminding them of the
Jews’ ‘infidelity,’ ‘stealth’ and ‘deceit.’ Known for his folksy
deliveries and exhortations to commit violence against the Jews,
Ghuniem did not disappoint his crowd, several of whom had come just
to hear him. The conflict with the Jews, he said, was not over land
but one of religion. ‘The problem of Palestine is not a problem of
belief. suppose the Jews said “Palestine-you [Muslims] can take it.”
Would it then be ok? What would we tell them? No! The problem is
belief, it is not a problem of land.’” Mr. Emerson
continued: “Ghuniem then led his rapt audience, which numbered as
many as 500, in a special song, the audience responsively repeating
each refrain: ‘No to the Jews, Descendants of the Apes.’” Says Mr.
Pipes: “In short, CAIR represents not the great civilization of
Islam but a radical utopian movement originating in the Middle East
that seeks to impose its ways on the United States. Americans should
consider themselves warned: a new danger exists in their midst.”

Here is an excerpt from the bio of one George Beam:
“George Beam Senior Vice President, Nuclear Services AREVA NP Inc.
George Beam is currently Senior Vice President of Nuclear Services
for AREVA NP Inc. Beam started his career as a Reactor Engineer at
the Oconee Nuclear Station in 1977. After two years, he left to
attend business school,after which he started work at Babcock &
Wilcox in its Nuclear Services business in 1981. He initially
started out on staff as a Strategic Planner, followed by several
assignments in Business Development/Marketing for Steam Generator
and Reactor Services. In 1992, Beam became the General Manager for
the Plant Services business responsible for all field services
performed by B&W Nuclear Technologies, excluding steam generator
services. In 1998, he was promoted to Vice President, Steam
Generator Services. Beam received a Bachelor of Science degree in
Applied Math and Computer Science from the University of Virginia ,
a Master of Science in Nuclear Engineering from N.C. State , and a
Master of Business Administration from the University of Virginia .
He is a registered professional engineer in the state of Virginia .”

You may have heard of George Beam, currently Senior Vice President
of Nuclear Services for AREVA NP Inc., recently Writing about the
imaginary deer hunt, which was really a hunt that never happened
DALE EISMAN, wrote in The Virginian-Pilot on September 28, 2006
about one “George Beam, now an executive at a nuclear engineering
firm based in Lynchburg,(Virginia).”
Beam, wrote Eisman: “was not part of the hunting party.” Which is of
course true because there was no hunt and no hunting party to begin
with.
Eisman writes that Beam “ told the Associated Press that one of the
hunters, his now-deceased roommate, Bill Lanahan, described the
incident to him later over a beer. “Billy Lanahan told me they cut
the head off a deer and stuffed it in a mailbox. He didn’t say whose
idea it was, and he didn’t say, at least not in my presence,
anything about a black family or a black neighborhood,”
In our opinion Beam lied to the AP.
Eisman’s article continued: “Allen insisted Monday that “The deer
head story is... pure fabrication, absolutely false.” The senator
and several of his former classmates also have denied allegations
that he routinely used the “n” word to refer to blacks.
Beam did not return several calls Wednesday from The Virginian-
Pilot...Dick Wadhams, Allen’s campaign manager, insisted Wednesday
that there is no evidence to support Shelton ‘s claim and called
Shelton and Beam “sad and pathetic” for bringing Lanahan, who died
earlier this year, into the dispute. “The incident did not occur.
This gentleman is just piling on to a false story,” he said of Beam,
adding later that “I have no idea why he would do it.”
(The fabricated “hunt” allegedly)
the article being quoted continues:
“took place on land owned by Lanahan’s family in Louisa County ,
east of Charlottesville. Maj. Donald Lowe of the Louisa Sheriff’s
Department said Wednesday that a search this week of department
records failed to produce any evidence of a complaint concerning a
deer’s head....Lowe said the sheriff’s department also has
interviewed several deputies from the early 1970s as well as with
black community leaders at the time. None recalled any complaint
concerning a deer’s head.…

We do not believe Areva Senior Vice President George Beam’s story
about the imaginary “deer hunt”.
Here is Beam being quoted on August 2, 2006
AREVA wins contract for replacement reactor vessel head project at
Diablo Canyon power plant...AREVA, through its subsidiary AREVA NP,
has received a contract from Pacific Gas & Electric Company for two
replacement reactor vessel heads at the Diablo Canyon Power Plant
Units One and Two. “The replacement Reactor Vessel Closure Head
(RVCH) project is particularly exciting because we are working with
AREVA to fabricate RVCHs in the United States for the first time in
many years.” “A replacement reactor vessel head with a state-of-the-
art integrated head assembly is one of the best economic options for
a commercial nuclear utility to choose in today’s cost and safety
conscious environment to ensure continued operational safety as well
as guarantee shorter outage durations and less cumulative personnel
dose in the future. AREVA looks forward to working with PG&E to
provide clean, safe, cost effective nuclear power for years to come”
said George Beam, Senior Vice President of AREVA NP Inc.”
The axis of evil certainly figures into this story. Whether it is
Iran, Iraq or North Korea.
“Reprocessing is the chemical separation of the spent fuel into its
three parts—plutonium, uranium, and highly radioactive reactor
waste. Several countries have the capability to reprocess North
Korea’s spent fuel, but only two—the United Kingdom and
France —have companies that offer commercial reprocessing
services.\3 These
companies also have direct experience in reprocessing magnox fuel—
the type of
fuel used in
North Korea ‘s 5-MW(e) reactor.\4 Two companies provide commercial
reprocessing
services—British Nuclear Fuels plc. (BNFL) of the
United Kingdom and Cogema of France—and both have expressed interest
in
reprocessing North Korea’s spent fuel.\5 If either of these
companies is
selected to do the reprocessing, under normal circumstances, the
repackaged
spent fuel would be picked up, transported to the company’s
reprocessing
facility, and placed in interim storage until it is reprocessed.
Neither company
would normally take title to the spent fuel or the
products of reprocessing so, unless other arrangements are made, the
separated materials would be stored for up to 5 years and,
eventually, returned to the country of origin. The specific terms of
the commercial arrangement would be defined in a contract between the
parties. According to BNFL, other matters—such as ownership and
liability for the fuel after its removal—would be defined in letters
between the governments. According to BNFL, reprocessing
North Korea ‘s spent fuel would result in approximately 25 kilograms
of
plutonium, 50,000 kilograms of uranium, and 160 liters (one
canister) of
high-level waste. If the spent fuel is reprocessed, the separated
plutonium and
uranium would
be purified and converted into stable compounds that can be safely
stored until final disposal.\6 The separated uranium and plutonium
could be used as fuel for a nuclear power reactor. If not used as
fuel, the plutonium would be disposed of in an underground
radioactive waste repository, and the uranium would be stored for its
economic value and potential use. The radioactive waste would be
mixed with melted glass and poured into a steel canister to harden—a
process called vitrification—and eventually disposed of in an
underground repository.\7
BNFL representatives estimated that it would cost between $50 million
to $100 million to transport and reprocess
North Korea ‘s spent fuel,
treat the waste, and store the resulting products for up to 5
years.\8 In addition to the cost of reprocessing, costs would also be
incurred for the final disposal of the plutonium and the one canister
of radioactive waste in an underground repository. We could not
determine the costs of disposing of these materials because, among
other factors, the disposal location and the cost of preparing the
materials for disposal are not known.\9”

Then there is the issue of James Webb, a.k.a. Jim Webb, who is
running against Senator Allen in Virginia.

Excerpted from Page 138
“ France had begun supplying Iraq with arms in 1967 and continued
until early 1990, by which time it had overtaken China as Baghdad ‘s
second-largest supplier after the Soviet Union . The inventory of
items supplied during thirteen years is lengthy. In addition to
Mystere and Mirage fighters, it includes Alouette, Gazelle, Puma and
Super Frelon helicopters supplied by Aerospatiale; HOT and Milan
anti-tank missiles and Exocet AM-39 and MM -40 anti-ship missiles
from Euromissile; as well as AMX -10-P mechanized combat vehicles
and AMX-30 main battle tanks supplied by GIAT. Other French
companies who have supplied weapons and equipment to Baghdad include
Panhard, Thompson-Brandt, Matra, Thomson CSF, Lucaire, COFRAS,
Raclet, Matra Manurhin Defense and Lacroix.”
Excerpted from Page 139
“In 1980, shortly after declaring war on Iran , the Iraqis had
turned to France in desperation after Baghdad itself was subjected
to air raids. Saddam Hussein had been advised, byl former generals
of the deposed Shah’s imperial army, that the Iranians were
desperately short of trained pilots and that those who had
previously served the Shah would, if permitted to fly, take off and
not return to Iran . In fact, this was totally incorrect and it was
a grave miscalculation on Saddam Hussein’s part to allow himself to
be convinced by such ill-founded beliefs. Not only did the Iraqis
fail to knock out the Iranian air force but the Iranian pilots,
putting duty before Ideology, also carried the war into the Iraqi
heartlands. Baghdad , which is only four minutes’ flying time from
the border with Iran , was subjected to a series of well-planned air
attacks which exposed the inadequacy of the Iraqi air defences. The
Iraqis immediately placed orders with the French for considerable
amounts of air defence systems and eighty Mirage fighters.”
“The French arms industry had always enjoyed a full measure of
support from its government, the latter’s attitude apparently being
that arms exports are in the interest of national security and that
they enable France to afford to manufacture its own
arsenal. “ “There is no doubt that France considered Iraq an
important client deserving preferential treatment. There is evidence
that the French intelligence services tolerated
several ‘irregularities’ by the Iraqi Mukhabarat on their own soil
in order to keep the path smooth for lucrative arms deals. In 1979
Barzan Takriti, Saddam Hussein’s half-brother and the head of the
Mukhabarat , commissioned his deputy, Sabaawi Ibramhim, to oversee
the creation of a new network in Europe . This consisted in part of
companies owned by Iraqi residents in France which acted as fronts
for both covert procurement tasks and intelligence operations.
Sabaawi Ibrahim in turn sent Sadd Saleh Al-Jabouri, a Mukhabarat
officer, to Paris as the chief of a new bureau housed at the Iraqi
Airways office in the French capital. Part of his brief was to
mastermind the hunting down and elimination of opponents of Saddam
Hussein’s regime…” “Al-Jabouri was subsequently joined by two other
Iraqis-Kadhem Al-Rabie and Nizar Hamdoun, the former an Iraqi
businessman who subsequently used his connections to set up
a ‘front’ company and was successful in striking a number of
important arms deals in France .”
Excerpted from Page 140
“In 1967 France ‘s stock in the arab world had gone up following
General de Gaulle’s decision to stop supplying arms to Israel …”
Excerpted from Pages 141-142 “During the first half of the 1980s,
French assistance to Iraq also extended to the loan of aircraft and
personnel for use in the conflict against Iran . On 26th, May 1983 a
secret agreement was signed by President Francious Mitterand,
covering the supply on lease of five Super Etendard aircraft. In
February of that year there had been reports in the French media
that the government was planning to sell the aircraft, complete with
Exocet missiles, to Iraq , but the Defence Minister at that time,
Charles Hernu, denied the report. However at the beginning of June,
Hernu signed an agreement with the manufacturers of the aircraft
Dassault and Snecma. Subsequently, Iraqi pilots and technicians
underwent fourteen weeks of intensive training at an airbase at
Cuers.” “On the morning of 7 October 1983 five Super Etendards left
the Brittany base of Landivisiau, staging at Corsica before
eventually making a rendezvous with the aircraft carrier Clemenceau
in the Mediterranean . During the following week, the aircraft were
repainted in Iraqi colours whilst checks were carried out to ensure
that the pilots removed all identifying insignia from their personal
equipment and that they were not carrying any incriminating
documentation. The aircraft were then flown to Iraq .” “A detachment
of thirty French military personnel, including seven pilots and
several technicians from Dassault, Snecma, Aerospatiale and Matra,
were based in Iraq to provide training and logistical support. It
was subsequently reported buy not confirmed that the pilots also
participated in missions….
The Super Etendards and their Exocet missiles proved a decisive
factor in the outcome of the (Iran-Iraq) war (in the Persian
Gulf ). The five aircraft enabled Iraq to intensify what was known
as the ‘tanker war’, which achieved wider political objectives for
the Iraqis…It was a French-supplied Exocet which in 1987 crippled
the American frigate USS Stark, causing the US navy’s rules of
engagement to be changed an ultimately resulting in America’s direct
involvement in the (Iran-Iraq War in the Persian Gulf ).”
“In May 1989, it was revealed that France was negotiating with Iraq
for the supply of fifty Dassault Mirage 2000 and fifty Alpha Jet
trainer ground attack aircraft. It was, however, France and not Iraq
which had sought the deal. In efforts intensified during 1989,
Defence Minister Jean-Pierre Chevenment’s visit to the four Gulf
states also included Iraq . The Iraqis were impressed by the
performance of the Mirage 2000 at the Dubai Air Show on 20th January
1989, when two Aircraft flew all the way from France , stopping once
in Egypt and refueling in mid-air several times en route.”
“Dassault, one of the jewels in the French arms industry’s crown,
had supplied the Iraqis with aircraft since 1976, when it sold them
thirty-two Mirage F1EQ and foru F1BQ. A second order for twenty-
eight F1Eq-4 and three F1BQ was placed in the same year and all
these aircraft were delivered between 1983 and 1985.
A third order for twenty Mirage F1EQ-5, equipped to carry Exocet
missiles, was placed in 1981 and these were delivered between 1983
and 1985. At the same time, a further eighteen F1EQ-6 and six F1BQ
were ordered, delivery being planned to take place at intervals
between 1987 and 1989.”
Excerpted from Page 143
“In December 1989, a high-level delegation headed by Jacques
Mitterand, the president’s brothers, visited Baghdad to discuss
closer cooperation on aerospace and other projects. It included in
its ranks representatives of several French companies. During their
stay, which included a visit to the Saad-16 missile development
complex near Mosul , meetings took palce with the Iraqi Deputy Prime
Minister, Sadoun Hammadi, Minster of Industry and Military
Industrialisation General Hussein Kamal Al-Majid, Transport and
Communications Minsiter Mohammad Hamza Al Zubiadi, and Oil Minister
Issam Abdul Rahmim al-Chalabi.”
“In February 1990, Jean-Pierre Chevenement paid a further visit to
Baghdad , where he met Saddam Hussein.”

“Islamist Nukes: The French Connection
Lowell Ponte, FrontPageMag.com
Tuesday, March 7, 2006
“No civilian nuclear program can explain the Iranian nuclear
program. It is a clandestine Iranian military nuclear program,”
But what of that other nation that poses a serious risk of
deliberately or inadvertently providing nuclear weapons to Islamo-
fascist terrorists?
This other nation was willing to give atomic weapons potential to
Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.
This other nation that may beget a world of atom-wielding Ayatollahs
is France itself.
At least three paths could lead to the French arming Islamists with
nuclear weapons.
The first path to this doomsday nightmare came to public attention
in June 1981, when Israeli warplanes destroyed a nuclear reactor 18
miles south of Baghdad .
This Osirak reactor was being built by the French for Saddam
Hussein, who had already used nerve gas on his own people and on
Iranians. Hussein had already described himself as the reincarnation
of the ancient Babylonian king and mass murderer Nebuchadnezzer II
who destroyed Jerusalem around 586 BCE.
Had Israel not carried out this preemptive act of Assertive
Disarmament weeks before the reactor became operational, Hussein
could have fabricated nuclear weapons from this reactor’s
radioactive output by the time he invaded neighboring Kuwait in
August 1990. The threat that Hussein could then unleash radioactive
devastation on nearby Iranian and Saudi Arabian oil facilities might
have made him too dangerous to attack....
France is among the world’s leading sellers of nuclear reactors and
reprocessors and sellers of radioactive reactor fuel. Days after
President George W. Bush struck a nuclear power deal last week
between the U.S. and India , for example, a high member of France ‘s
National Assembly on Sunday quietly dropped the news to Reuters that
France has agreed to help develop a “peaceful” nuclear power program
for oil-rich Libya ‘s dictator and longtime terrorism backer Col.
Mohammar Qaddafi.
Amid the controversies over whether Saddam Hussein attempted to
procure radioactive material in Africa, few bothered to note that
the country at the center of this discussion is a former French
colony, Niger .
One of the biggest uranium mine owners and dealers in processed
uranium in Niger is COGEMA, historically 82 percent owned by the
French Atomic Energy Commission and now a subsidiary of the French-
controlled French-German consortium Areva, a major worldwide nuclear
reactor manufacturer and seller....
But, as nuclear scholar Henry Sokolski reported in 2004, “the French
firm Areva,” like its international reactor-marketing competitors,
has been “so eager to sell China nuclear-power plants that they and
their governments are turning a blind eye to…a Chinese deal to sell
Islamabad (Pakistan) a large reactor.”
Pakistan, the one Islamic nation that already has atomic weapons,
has refused to sign the nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT).
Pakistan ‘s chief atomic weapons scientist secretly provided nuclear
materials and nuclear bomb-making information to other Muslim
states, but after brief imprisonment for this crime he was recently
set free by his government.
The French government not only approved selling its Osirak reactor
and ample radioactive fuel to Saddam Hussein but also threatened to
use its veto as a permanent member of the United Nations Security
Council to prevent Hussein’s overthrow.
It later came to light that several of French President Jacques
Chirac’s closest political allies were being given millions of
dollars worth of oil certificates by Hussein under the United
Nations Oil-for-Food program that controlled Iraqi oil sales. Was
there also a secret deal with Hussein involving COGEMA, Areva, the
French Government and Niger ?
Can a French Government that was willing to put nuclear weapons
ingredients into the hands of Saddam Hussein be trusted to keep such
materials out of the hands of oil-rich Islamist fanatics? Is France
again willing to sell doomsday weapon capability if the price is
right?...(If the world were sane, of course, France would have
forfeited its nuclear weapons and materials after the Osirak reactor
it was building was destroyed. France has shown that it lacks both
the morality and maturity to be trusted with these dangerous tools
the U.S. and Britain gave it – along with a permanent seat on the
Security Council – following the French complicity with Hitler
during World War II.)... (During World War II the German-aligned
Vichy government in France used its national railroad to transport
76,000 French Jews to their doom in Nazi death camps. Virulent anti-
Semitism is one of the ideologies many French share with their
former Nazi overlords and Islamofascists. French treachery has not
been limited to its Arab citizens.)... Lowell Ponte is the former
Roving Science Editor for Reader’s Digest and a former think tank
specialist in nuclear terrorism. His ancestors came to the U.S. from
France in 1848.”

“The Wilson, Rockefeller, & McCarthy Ties
Filed under: General— Robert Farrow by Curt
Very interesting stuff going on in the Mary McCarthy files. It
appears many of us missed a few important connections:
One aspect of her background so far comparatively unexamined is her
West African uranium connection. She served in a key government
position concerned with West African nations producing yellowcake
uranium at the same time that Joseph Wilson was working in the
area. The two may be considered members of the “yellowcake
community” within the Clinton national security apparatus of the
1990s. There are more questions than answers for the moment, but
yellowcake uranium is not only of strategic importance for WMD
purposes, it is also a highly profitable commodity traded under UN
supervision and restrictions, a set of circumstances known to
produce extraordinary opportunities for both profit and corruption,
as in Oil-for-Food. These comparatively still waters may run deep.
Investigators equipped with both subpoena power and security
clearance may be called for.
Mary McCarthy held positions in both African and Latin American
analysis desks at Langley while Wilson was U.S. Ambassador to the
Gabonese Republic from 1992 to 1995. Gabon was a producer of
yellowcake uranium. Wilson ‘s powerful position in Gabon from 1992
to 1995 raises questions about his official trip to Niger to
discredit President Bush’s claim that Iraq had sought quantities of
uranium from Africa .
During his time in Gabon , Wilson must have been deeply
knowledgeable about uranium production and trade there, and must
have been familiar with officials of the French energy giant COGEMA,
now consolidated into the French Areva Group, a firm closely
involved with the French government which appoints members of its
board. Joe Wilson has his own French connection.
So, who better to send to Africa to dig up dirt to refute
intelligence findings of both the US and Great Britain concerning
the Iraq-Africa yellowcake trade?
The article then goes into great detail about the loophole the UN
instituted to allow: certain nuclear materials to be maintained and
traded even by countries known to be covertly developing a nuclear
capability or who supported terrorist groups….
Speaking of dealing in commodities, this whole affair brings us back
to square one and Mary McCarthy. One of her previous employers was
Beri, SA. Possibly by coincidence Beri provides a Mineral Extraction
Risk Assessment service for up to 145 countries that are expected to
show rapid growth in oil, gas, and mineral extraction capacity. If
one had advance access to economic intelligence and had fostered
close business ties over the years with uranium producers, huge
financial gains would be possible…. Macranger, the former
intelligence official, believes he knows what is coming next:
I can’t tire of telling you how important it is that Mary Loose Lips
has been brought down. More than just a random ‘discovery’ - she is
the key to the lock. Guys at the agency and the DOJ knew exactly
where to target - and they hit it dead on. In the coming days you
will see why Senator Rockefeller HAD to make such an emergency visit
to Syria in 2002. For a little tip, read here.
The “here” he is referring to is a Italian article that points out
Rockefeller’s business dealings with none other, Cogema…. Cogema
runs the Niger uranium trade.
Getting a little fishy in here as AJ Strata notices:
the Italian story mentions Senator Jay Rockefeller and his unique
efforts against the invasion of Iraq . Among them is mention of “the
relationship of the Senate American “. The story links the UN Oil
For Food program and the Uranium trade (which I showed was possible
in previous posts).
Then the story talks about a connection: “the French of the Cogema
are in transactions with the magnates of the oil, comprised the
group Rockefeller American. “ Wow. COGEMA is the French company…
that runs the Niger mines and monitors the uranium. Now I
understand what Mac Ranger meant by this comment:
In the coming days you will see why Senator Rockefeller HAD to make
such an emergency visit to Syria in 2002.
I had not made the connection until now that Wilson and Rockefeller
both raced to the region in 2002! Maybe the heads up Rockefeller was
giving Bathaast Bashir (and therefore Baathist Hussein) was not just
about the pending war. The timing is right. Wilson went to Niger in
February 2002, Rockefeller went to Syria in January 2002. So far
Mac has been dead on in his predictions. This one is going to be a
doozy.
McCarthy now appears to be a little fish in a BIG pond whose scum
layer is getting quite thick.

We think that Hillary Rodham Clinton may well be playing a major
role in the campaign against Senator George Allen. Allen has been
seen as THE likely Republican Presidential nominee in 2008, in other
words, the person Hillary Rodham Clinton might well be running
against for President in 2008. We hope that you will join us in
revealing Hillary’s Hidden Hands in the George Allen Lynching.
“Hillary headlines Webb event By Seth McLaughlin
THE WASHINGTON TIMES October 4, 2006
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton endorsed Democrat James H. Webb Jr. in
the U.S. Senate race in Virginia at a fundraiser yesterday… Mrs.
Clinton, who headlined the “Women for Webb” luncheon in Alexandria ,
said Congress needs someone with Mr. Webb’s military expertise and
demonstrated leadership”

“My opponent doesn’t stand with John Warner and me in keeping taxes
low,” Republican US Senator from Virginia George Allen said in his
opening statement in the recent October 2006 debate between Senator
Allen and James Webb, a.k.a. Jim Webb.
“He stands with Hillary Clinton, John Kerry and the big-government
Democrats who want to raise taxes.”
“Allen, Webb spar in final TV debate
By LARRY O’DELL, Associated Press Writers October 2006
RICHMOND, Va. (AP)Throughout the debate, Webb looked tense, his eyes
riveted on his off-camera questioners or on Allen. His answers were
detailed, sometimes to the point of wonkishness; his delivery
sometimes halting. Allen, a veteran of numerous TV debates in his
long political career, appeared relaxed, his eyes connecting
comfortably with the camera, even as he offered up refrains he has
used for years and made a practice of opening his response with
attacks on Webb.
At least three times, Allen took pains to link Webb, a former
Republican, with Democrats Hillary Clinton and John Kerry, the
Democrats’ 2004 presidential nominee.”
In 2004 John Forbes Kerry launched what was seen by many as a pre-
emptive strike against the Bush-Cheney re-election campaign by
discussing the sexual orientation of Vice President Cheney’s
daughter. Some years earlier, published reports in a Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania newspaper had alleged that Theresa Heinz, who later
became Theresa Heinz Kerry, was a lesbian. In light of the
vulnerability to charges of racism in the story immediately above
one wonders whether history was in a sense repeating itself when the
baseless charges of racism against US Senator George Allen of
Virginia were aired by the Saddemocrat controlled media. Kerry’s
2004 campaign was taken over by Clintonistas in the fall of 2004.

“Welch removed his glasses, stared dolefully at the table and shook
his head. What he said then became the event’s dramatic climax, and
a moment more movie-like in its dramatic impact than even most
movies come close to.
“Until this moment, Senator, I think I never really gauged your
cruelty or your recklessness.” There was no noise in the huge, high-
ceilinged room save for the sparse clearing of throats. “Let us not
assassinate this lad further, Senator. You have done enough. Have
you no sense of decency sir, at long last? Have you no sense of
decency?”
“Mary Beth Cahill, John Kerry’s campaign manager, called Mary
Cheney’s sexuality “fair game” in a post-debate interview with Fox
News Wednesday night (October 13th, 2004).”

presidential candidate John Edwards, suggested in a radio interview
that Mrs. Cheney might feel “a certain degree of shame” because her

‘Clintonistas’ Rally Behind Kerry’s Presidential Bid
AFP: 9/22/2004 WEST PALM BEACH, United States (AFP) - Democratic
Senator John
Kerry‘s White House bid has become more combative, more open to
reporters and
delivered a more focused message recently which
observers have attributed to the influence of former Bill Clinton
administration staffers. Under advice from the ‘Clintonistas‘,
according to US
media reports, the veteran Massachusetts senator‘s campaign has
clicked into a
higher gear just 41 days before Amercians go to the polls on
November 2. The
Democratic presidential hopeful interrupted his campaigning across
Florida on
Tuesday to hold a press conference, his first in more than seven
weeks, at which
he lambasted President George W. Bush‘s credibility over Iraq.
Kerry last spoke took questions from the press on August 9, despite
the growing number of reporters who are following the Democrat
around the country. Kerry criticized Bush who has also kept his
distance from
the press. ...Under the guidance of former Clinton era White House
spokesman Joe
Lockhart, and other former high-powered ‘Clintonistas‘ including
James Carville,
Paul Begala,... the Democratic candidate has become more combative
and less nuanced.
Kerry has notably increased his attacks on Bush, concentrating his
fire on Bush‘s handling of Iraq in clear-cut language.
Citing the “chaos” and “colossal errors” in Bush‘s decision to go to
war against the former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein in March 2003,
Kerry laid into Bush in a speech on Iraq this week at New York
University.
According to Michael McCurry, another former Clinton spokesman who
has joined the Kerry campaign, the speech was “exactly what you‘d
expect, many people have said this was a speech that you needed to
give.”
The Democratic candidate, who has pulled back of late in some polls,
has said he always performs better as he approaches the finishing
tape in political campaigns.
“Tonight I‘m going to talk softly, but carry a big stick, the guys
have got me in a fighting mood,” Kerry told thousands of supporters
at an Orlando rally late Tuesday.
“There is a time for everything and it was time for him to take off
the gloves,” Kerry‘s wife Teresa told a New York audience at a fund-
raising dinner for her husband.
Kerry has not hidden the fact that Bill Clinton‘s seemingly
inexhaustible energy might be rubbing off: “He is probably the best
observer of American politics, the only Democrat who‘s won twice in
50 years or more, he is worth listening to,” Kerry told CBS talk-
show host David Letterman earlier this week.
Explaining the recent ramping up of his campaign, Kerry said “a
campaign grows, a presidential campaign is an enormous undertaking,
suddenly you‘re building a multimillion dollar corporation.
You grow and there are stages in it, we have fabulous people in
place, nobody was fired, we just hired more people and brought in
more talent,” he added.”

“The Clintonista “Coups.” At several critical junctures Kerry’s
campaign (and
the candidate himself), struggled to find sure footing. Following
the missteps
of August, Clinton veteran James Carville confronted Kerry campaign
manager Mary
Beth Cahill, telling her she had to step aside and let newly arrived
Joe
Lockhart run the campaign. So worked up, Carville began to cry,
imploring
Cahill: “You’ve got to let him do it.” Carville continued, “Nobody
can gain
power without someone losing power.” Carville threatened to go
on “Meet the
Press” the next day “and tell the truth about how bad it is” if
Cahill didn’t give effective control to Lockhart.”

Fortunately the Clintons can’t fool all of the people all of the
time.
It was Déjà vu all over again in the fall of 2006 as once again
Saddam’s Saddemocrats sought to drag the Cheney family into the mud,
and once again played the so-called “Lesbian Card”, against the
Cheney family.
“October 27, 2006 Lynne Cheney was in the “Situation Room” this
afternoon and was asked about Jim Webb’s comments that her books
contain explicit sexual descriptions:
Cheney: “Jim Webb is full of baloney. I have never written anything
sexually explicit. His novels are full of sexual explicit references
to incest, sexually explicit references—well, you know, I just don’t
want my grandchildren to turn on the television set. This morning,
Imus was reading from the novels, and it’s triple-X rated.”
CNN’s Blitzer: “Here’s what the Democratic Party put out today, the
Democratic Congressional—Senatorial Campaign Committee: ‘Lynne
Cheney’s book featured brothels and attempted rape. In 1981, Vice
President Dick Cheney’s wife, Lynne, wrote a book called “Sisters”,
which featured a lesbian love affair, brothels and attempted
rapes.’ ... In 1988, Lynn Cheney wrote about a Republican vice
president who dies of a heart attack while having sex with his
mistress.’ Is that true?”
Cheney: “Nothing explicit.”
Blitzer: “There’s nothing in there about rape and brothels?”
Cheney: “Well, Wolf, could we talk about a children’s book for a
minute?”
Blitzer: “This is an opportunity for you to explain on these
sensitive issues.”
Cheney: “I have nothing to explain. Jim Webb has a lot to explain.”
More Cheney: “Jim Webb is full of baloney” (CNN, 10/27).

It seems that Saddam’s Saddemocrats just cannot get away from their
fascination with the lesbian theme. Whether this is a case of
Saddam’s Saddemocrats striking first before the Republicans can
bring up the widespread belief that Hillary Rodham Clinton, who, for
years, jokingly, or not, has been referred to as a “Tri-Sexual”, the
pun being that Hillary would Try Anything Sexual with anyone, except
perhaps for Bill Clinton remains to be seen.
And what of Webb himself? It strikes me that any man who is
fascinated with scenes of perversion has something very wrong with
him. It reminds me of some of the following: “[You are] of eyes too
pure to behold evil, and You cannot gaze upon iniquity.” Source:
Judaica Press Complete Tanach. Unfortunately Webb seems to be
obsessed with scenes of perversion which he says he has actually
gone to see in of all places Thailand.
Whether Webb was some earlier version of John Mark Karr, or not,
remains to be seen. Why would Webb want to go to Thailand to gaze
intently upon iniquity? Is Webb obsessed with such things? Then
there is the whole issue of torturing women. Webb seems to be
obsessed with torturing women. See also, the original at Drudge. We
have cleaned up some of Webb’s foul language in this excerpt of that
post so you do not have to read the filth that Webb actually wrote.
“ALLEN--- EXPOSES UNDERAGE SEX SCENES IN OPPONENT’S NOVELS
Thu Oct 26 2006 20:05:37 ET
Sen. George Allen, R-VA, unleashed a press release late Thursday
that exposed his rival’s fiction writing, which includes graphic
underage sex scenes. The press release, as provided by the Allen Campaign:
WEBB’S WEIRD WORLD
The Author’s Disturbing Writings Show a Continued Pattern of
Demeaning Women
• Some of Webb’s writings are very disturbing for a candidate
hoping
to represent the families of Virginians in the U.S. Senate.
• Many excellent books about the United States military and
wartime
service accomplish their purposes, and even win awards, without
systematically demeaning women, and without dehumanizing women, men
and even children.
• Webb’s novels disturbingly and consistently – indeed, almost
uniformly – portray women as servile, subordinate, inept,
incompetent, promiscuous, perverted, or some combination of these.
In novel after novel, Webb assigns his female characters base,
negative characteristics. In thousands of pages of fiction penned by
Webb, there are few if any strong, admirable women or positive
female role models.
Why does Jim Webb refuse to portray women in a respectful, positive
light, whether in his non-fiction concerning their role in the
military, or in his provocative novels? How can women trust him to
represent their views in the Senate when chauvinistic attitudes and
sexually exploitive references run throughout his fiction and non-
fiction writings?
• Most Virginians and Americans would find passages such as
those
below shocking, especially coming from the pen of someone who seeks
the privilege of serving in the United States Senate, one of the
highest offices in the land:

The following is excerpted from:” The Stormy Departure of a Navy
Secretary who
veered off course (Washington Post, March 7, 1988) “Webb also
attempted to dispel
concerns over a magazine article he’d written years earlier
entitled “Women
Can’t Fight” by opening more non-combat jobs to women….. Webb”
(told) “a group
of newspaper editors and reporters that he believed the United
States should
respond to Iranian hostilities with strikes that would prevent
further
aggression rather than hitting small military targets. The United
States
recently had destroyed Iranian oil platforms used for communications
and launching small boats.”
the following is excerpted from:”A Tangled Webb By Colonel Paul E.
Roush, U.S.
Marine Corps (Retired)When James Webb wrote “Women Can’t Fight” for
Washingtonian magazine in 1979, he initiated an assault that
continues to the
present day. The assault primarily is on women, but it extends much
further. It
is an assault on the Naval Academy and on the naval service. . . .
It is an assault on civilian control of the military and ultimately
on the
constitutional constraints that define the relation between citizen
and soldier.
His 1981 book, A Sense of Honor, continued to press certain elements
of the
assault. In particular, it decried congressional legislation
regarding hazing.
In an article entitled “The War on the Military Culture” in The
Weekly Standard
in January 1997, he returned again to some of the basic themes that
have marked his writings over the years.
The content of James Webb’s writing matters for several reasons.
First, he is a
person of influence—a highly decorated small-unit combat leader, an
accomplished
writer, a former Secretary of the Navy. Second, his writings are an
appeal to
the politics of resentment, one result of which is to foster
cynicism toward the
institution and the profession. Third, many midshipmen continue to
refer to his
ideas and to be shaped by them in their formative years of
preparation for
future leadership roles in the Navy and Marine Corps.
Accordingly, it is worth giving careful attention to what I see as
his central
themes.Theme #1: Stress is fungible and is the means by which
warriors are made
at the Naval Academy.Webb seems to believe that response to stress
generalizes
almost without limit. In other words, if one learns to deal with one
kind of
stress, one is assured of being able to deal with all other kinds of
stress.
He uses this theory to defend the use of physical abuse at the Naval
Academy.The
argument goes something like this: Being abused physically by those
in power is
stressful. Combat also is stressful. Learning to endure the stress
of physical
abuse therefore will allow one to face the stress of combat without
being debilitated by it.
This belief undergirds the notion that the way for a midshipman to
become a
warrior is to submit to a regimen of pervasive, arbitrary physical
and
psychological abuse at the hands of other barely post-pubescent
midshipmen who
have never heard a shot fired in anger. These slightly older
midshipmen, despite
their utter lack of combat experience, will know how to create
warriors. They
will harass, haze, and brutalize. Then they will separate the
victims into two
piles: the worthy and the worthless. Those who submit to and thrive
on brutality
will be the worthy; those who do not tolerate it or do not thrive on
it will be counted among the worthless.
This theme is central to “Women Can’t Fight.” Webb apparently
believes he owes
his prowess on the battlefield to the fact that, as a midshipman at
the Naval
Academy, he was severely beaten with a cricket bat by a group of
upperclassmen
and otherwise exposed to physical assaults. It is a major point in A
Sense of
Honor that a plebe is indoctrinated by being severely stressed by an
upperclassman—never mind that in the process the upperclassman
violates the hazing laws legislated by Congress.
From this perspective, A Sense of Honor is an object lesson in and a
glorification of the violation of congressional legislation. Because
Congress is
granted the right to make laws governing the armed forces by the
Constitution,
the book is also a model of how one violates one’s commissioning
oath to support
and defend the Constitution without any mental reservation or
purpose of evasion.
Stress always has played a part in plebe training, but not always
did it extend
to the type of physical abuse Jim Webb recounts. Vice Admirals
William Lawrence
and James Stockdale (here, addressing the Brigade of Midshipmen),
both
distinguished leaders and warriors, noted that their Naval Academy
experience did not include such abuse.
Theme #2: Women at the Naval Academy preclude the development of
warriors.In
“Women Can’t Fight,” Webb expresses the view that the presence of
women poisons
the preparation of men for combat command and that the process of
training for
combat leadership at the Naval Academy has been sterilized as a
result.
Consider the implications of this particular theme: If the presence
of women in
the college experience prevents the brutality that is necessary to
the
inculcation of warriorhood, the Marine Corps is in deep trouble.
After all,
Naval Academy graduates are a minority within the Marine Corps
officer cadre;
most of that cadre went to college with women and missed out on
being physically abused by upperclassmen.
Does that mean that the majority of the officers in the Marine Corps
are
incompetent warriors?The answer, of course, is no; non-academy
Marine Corps
officers learn to be warriors at Quantico, which is the same place
Naval Academy
graduates learn to be the kind of warriors the Marine Corps wants.
Theme #3: Military women are the beneficiaries of a pervasive, pro-
women double
standard. In “Women Can’t Fight,” Webb grumbles that women are
advantaged at
every turn. He is incensed by the fact that the media spend more time
interviewing women than men, thereby conferring on women undeserved
attention
and falsely inferred merit. From the beginning, there has been
complaining about
the fact that there are differences in the physical readiness tests.
The women, it turned out, could receive a given grade with lower
scores than
were required from the men for the same grade. Of course, the men
seldom mention
the fact that they are allowed to weigh about 30 pounds more than a
woman of
their same height before being placed on a weight-control program.
When that difference is pointed out, they tend to have a sudden
burst of insight
in which they see that physiological and anatomical differences
really do need
to be taken into account.The unwarranted litany of half-truths with
regard to
alleged double standards creates—and, in my judgment, is calculated
to
create—resentment among the men.There is a particular aspect of the
politics of
resentment on which Webb’s writings seem fixated, namely, resentment
against
those who ascribe leadership abilities to women.
He asserts in “Women Can’t Fight” that women were being rated higher
in
leadership by officers than they had been by their male peers.
Things had gone
so far by the time Webb wrote his article that peer ratings had been
discontinued. Webb was mortified; this meant that there was no way
for a woman’s
male peers to prevent her from being assigned to leadership
positions, given
what he saw as the craven propensity of the company officers to
impute unmerited
favor to female midshipmen.Webb does not explain why those male
company
officers, who had graduated from an all-male Naval Academy in which
physical
abuse was the order of the day, would be so lacking in moral
courage, so unable
to deal with the stress engendered by pressure from above that they
would lie on
command about the abilities of the women in their companies.
The implication is that women were unworthy and that all the men
knew this, but
the officers were under pressure to artificially and unfairly build
them up.
Only their male peers would tell the truth about women on their peer
evaluations.The reality was somewhat different. The male peers were
secreting
bigotry from every pore. There was not the slightest possibility
that the women
would be rated fairly by the men, who deplored their very presence
at the institution.
Further, there is no possibility that Webb did not know this;
in “Women Can’t
Fight,” he frequently quoted male midshipmen’s disparaging comments
about
women. Nothing so disadvantages a person as to be psychologically
rejected by his
or her peers; to be told both blatantly and more subtly that you are
not wanted;
to have your competence questioned on the basis of invidious
comparison.
However difficult plebe year may have been for men when Webb was a
midshipman or
at the time “Women Can’t Fight” was published, it was made even more
difficult
by an order of magnitude for women by the threat and practice of
bigotry.
When an upperclass leader uses his position of power to refer
publicly to a
female midshipman in degrading and humiliating gender-related terms,
when she
must listen to and even participate in demeaning marching chants in
which she is
the object of ridicule, the stress engendered far exceeds that of a
beating with a cricket bat.
The consequences of that kind of psychological sadism include
evisceration of
her self-esteem and instruction for her peers that she is an
inferior being;
that she does not belong; that she is a prime candidate for
the “worthless”
pile. Nothing could more rapidly destroy unit cohesion.”Women Can’t
Fight” has
been the single greatest purveyor of degradation and humiliation on
the basis of
gender that academy women have had to endure. Men, on the other
hand, were not
mocked or ridiculed because of their gender.
They were not required by their peers to go outside their own
identity to avoid
overt harassment. They did not face the threat of psychological
isolation. In
other words, men were unstressed relative to women.According to Mr.
Webb’s
dictum, then, every woman graduate thereby is more prepared to be a
warrior than
all of her male counterparts.The tragedy of all this is that the
interference
with the integration process, which should not have happened at all,
would have
been over in a relatively short period were it not for the brooding
presence of “Women Can’t Fight.”
Year after year, this article has taught and continues to teach a
certain number
of men about the insufferable affront of the presence of women at
the Naval
Academy.Theme #4: Women in the military remain a gigantic social
experiment.As
when it was used to oppose the racial integration of the military in
the 1950s
and 1960s, this argument is an attempt to deceive, to make
uninformed persons
believe that the only basis on which a particular minority could be
deserving of
entry into the military is that the military leadership had
capitulated to groups with an alien agenda.
Those outside groups, it is contended, are intent on furthering
their own social
and political ends even if the consequence is to diminish the
capability of the
armed forces to fight and survive.Applying the appellation of social
experiment
to women in the military, as he does repeatedly in the January 1997
article in
The Weekly Standard, Webb continues to disseminate this propaganda.
But it is
simply not true that women in the military are a social experiment;
we have
decades of experience by which to assess the performance of women.
The issue for women in the Navy for more than 40 years was service
on combatant
ships and aircraft—the exclusion laws applied there and nowhere else—
and we have
plenty of data showing that women can fly planes and serve on ships
in a superb
fashion. Neither of these types of service is a social
experiment.Service in the
infantry was never the issue for women at the Naval Academy.
Nevertheless, a
significant portion of Webb’s objection to women in any combat role
was
addressed by demonstrating how difficult it would be for women to
serve in the infantry.
Webb had to have been aware that the legislative battle was with
regard to
service on ships and aircraft, but the case against women is, of
course, much
harder to make in those two realms—hence the shift to talking so
extensively
about women in the infantry. If this was not an intent to deceive,
it was a
splendid imitation.Theme #5: An officer’s priority of loyalties may
be disregarded in the pursuit of ideology.
In “ The War on the Military Culture” Webb points out that military
officers are
taught that “policies that were strongly opposed while under
consideration will
be just as strongly implemented once [they are] decided upon.” That,
of course,
is a fundamental undergirding of the professional military ethic.
Yet, in “Women
Can’t Fight,” Webb quotes midshipmen who speak words that defame and
slander academy women.
It seems clear that Webb approves of—and sometimes adds to—this
vilification. In
no instance does he reprimand the men for their statements, which
are in
opposition to the legislation passed by Congress that admitted women
to the academy.
Instead, he urges that male midshipmen who oppose women at the
academy should be
allowed to say so and to say so without fear of retribution. He calls
prohibitions on such activity censorship.If ever there was an action
intended to
break down or prevent the formation of unit cohesion, it is the
action Webb
advocates. Urging that midshipmen be permitted publicly to speak out
in
opposition to the law of the land while they remain on active duty is
inexcusable. Leaders are free to disagree up until the decision is
made; at that
point they either get on board or find another line of work.
Midshipmen or officers who insist on proclaiming in public that
women should not
be at the academy should be ushered out of the military into
civilian society,
where they may contemplate their bigotry in a setting in which they
probably
will do less harm.Midshipmen take an oath to support and defend the
Constitution. That document contains a provision that grants to
Congress the
authority to make regulations governing the armed forces.
The legislation that opened the service academies to women is a
legitimate
exercise of that authority. It also is the supreme law of the land
as defined by
the Constitution. For anyone who has taken the oath of office,
obedience is not
optional. Midshipmen, from the moment that law was passed in 1975,
were under
obligation to obey not only the letter but also the spirit of the
law. Their
duty was to do all in their power to facilitate its implementation.
Webb’s
discussions in “Women Can’t Fight” had to have a corrupting
influence on male
midshipmen, reinforcing the negative views they held, letting them
know that an
authority figure agreed with their perspective.
Theme #6: Webb’s experience as a midshipman in the 1960s reflects
the experience
of all midshipmen before then, as well.Webb describes the Naval
Academy as
having had a consistent approach until the women arrived. I have no
doubt that
he describes the Naval Academy culture in 1964-1968 quite accurately—
other of
his classmates have confirmed much of what he writes—but on the
matter of predecessor classes, he fails badly.
I graduated 11 years before Webb, in 1957. I never experienced a
single moment
of physical abuse as a plebe, nor am I aware of any physical abuse
being
suffered by my roommates or company mates. During plebe summer, the
time of most
significant stress today, my classmates and I did not even have
upperclass
present. A solitary, recently commissioned ensign shepherded each
company
through the two-month process. It was a time in which we learned
much, but being
away from home was about the most stressful thing we experienced.
When the
brigade returned in the fall there was plenty of stress, but it did
not extend
to physical abuse. Nor were we as exhausted as are today’s
midshipmen; we slept
eight hours per night, and our academic load was significantly
lighter.
I also talked with several of our more illustrious predecessors to
find out
about their four years at Annapolis. In particular, I was interested
to talk
with retired Vice Admirals James Stockdale and William Lawrence.
These men were
prisoners of war for more than five years during the Vietnam War.
For his
service in the prison camps Admiral Stockdale was awarded the Medal
of Honor.
Admiral Lawrence served as Superintendent of the Naval Academy
during the time “
Women Can’t Fight” was published. These leaders and warriors
confirmed that
their academy experience was like the one I knew and not like what
Webb
apparently has come to believe always existed.
Theme #7: Leaders are not necessarily accountable for the
performance of their
followers.When Webb writes about the 1991 Tailhook convention he
advocates an
approach that absolves leadership for its obvious abdication of
responsibility
and accountability. He frequently interprets the events as having
been caused by
a small number of drunken aviators and rejects the notion that Navy
culture was
implicated in any way. In an article in The Washington Post
entitled “The Navy
Adrift,” an adaptation of his speech at the Naval Institute’s 1996
Annapolis
Seminar, he described Tailhook as an event that should have been in
the news for three to five days.
His comments then, as always, avoided the larger context of
Tailhook.Tailhook is
not about some number of drunken aviators; it is only peripherally
about sexual
assaults and other forms of sexual misconduct. Rather, it is about
staggering
professional deficiencies—in truth telling; in respect for persons;
in military
discipline; in subordination of the military to civilian control; in
understanding that unit cohesion and hence combat effectiveness is
incompatible
with bigotry. Webb’s attempts to trivialize Tailhook are without
redeeming
social or military value.When Webb advocates punishing the “few
drunken
aviators” but never advocates holding the leadership accountable,
one wonders if
he has the slightest clue about the obligations of command.
Writing in the Wall Street Journal in June 1996, Republican Senators
Kay Bailey
Hutchinson and Daniel Coates pointed out a portion of those
responsibilities.
Section 5947 of Title 10 U.S. Code establishes the positive
obligation of
commanding officers to demonstrate “ a good example of virtue. . . ;
to be
vigilant in inspecting the conduct of all persons who are placed
under their
command; to guard against and suppress all dissolute and immoral
practices.”The
Senators pointed out that the “statute does not reflect contemporary
situational
ethics, political correctness, or feminist pressure.
It was first set forth in the Regulations for the Navy drafted by
John Adams and
approved by the Continental Congress in 1775, enacted by the U.S.
Congress in
1779, and codified at the express request of the Navy in 1956.” It
is an
expression of the bedrock culture toward which Navy leadership—and
anyone who
writes about Navy leadership—should aspire.Mr. Webb’s views are not
likely to
change. Based on the politics of resentment, they are the cause of
significant
harm to the naval service and to the military in general. They are
destructive
of unit cohesion. Somewhere along the line it wi

Somewhere along the line it will be important to
get into the
hands of students, perhaps in a core course, written material that
discusses the
implications for institutional culture that are embedded in Webb’s
writing. One thing is certain. Silence will not do.
The issue is too important. There must be no more free rides for
those who
would undermine what this great institution is about.Colonel Roush
is a
professor in the U.S. Naval Academy’s Leadership Ethics & Law
Department. His
26-year career in the Marine Corps included tours in Vietnam and as
an attache
in Moscow. He served on the faculties of the Industrial College of
the Armed
Forces and the National War College. He holds a Ph.D from American
University.” So you be the judge, is Webb some kind of weird pervert
obsessed with torturing women? Has he ever gone beyond writing about
it to actually doing it? We of course do not know. We certainly hope
that Webb has never tortured or murdered anyone, not an Asian
prostitute on his John Mark Karr like travels through Asia, and
certainly not any of his many wives, all of which we believe are
still living, and certainly hope are well, or any child prostitutes
in places like Thailand that Webb evidently, like John Mark Karr,
could not stay away from.

Former Navy Secretary Virginia US Senate Candidate James Webb has
been a long
time opponent of the liberation of Iraq. When he was Secretary of
the Navy he
urged that the US attack Saddam’s enemy Iran. While we support the
liberation of
both Iraq and Iran, it is clear that the US tilt towards Iraq and
against Iran
in the Iran-Iraq war helped to set Iran on its current anti-American
path.
That tilt was a major mistake. Webb’s role in that tilt as Secretary
of the Navy
during part of the Iran-Iraq war is examined briefly here. Hopefully
those who
are naive enough to think of former Navy Secretary Webb as a
peacemaker will
have their eyes opened by this brief look at some of his history. Excerpted from Pages 39-40 of SPIDER’S WEB: THE SECRET HISTORY OF HOW THE WHITE HOUSE ILLEGALLY ARMED IRAQ by Alan Friedman ASIN:
0553096508
“In January 1987, as the” (Iran-Iraq)”war entered its seventh year
and the
combined death toll neared one million people, Iran began yet
another major
offensive. This time it pushed deep into Iraqi territory. Saddam
Hussein needed
help-but he also required reassurance from Washington about its
intentions,
since revelations in the Iran-Contra scandal were now detailing the
U.S. covert
military aid that had been going to his enemy, Iran. From Baghdad’s
point of
view, Washington was either ambivalent or duplicitous.
Thanks to the rival pro-Iraq and pro-Iran factions inside the
government, the
United States had indeed sent out very confusing signals.
Nonetheless, the
secret shipments to Iran paled when compared with the support given
Saddam, and
William Casey led the drive to placate Iraq. He had already met with
Tariq Aziz
at the United Nations to make sure Iraq was happy with the flow of
intelligence
it was receiving, and he encouraged Aziz to go ahead with more
attacks on Iranian economic targets.
Then netural ships in the Persian Gulf began coming under attack
from both Iran
and Iraq. Those of oil-rich Kuwait were of particular concern to the
administration. Kuwaiti leaders wanted their oil tankers protected
by either
Moscow of Washington, and in March 1987 top U.S. officials including
Caspar
Weinberger, George Schultz aand Admiral William Crowe, the chairman
of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, decided to defend Kuwaiti vessels that were
navigating the Gulf.
Two months later, on May 17th, pro-Iraqi officials such as
Weinberger suffered
an instant case of political whiplash when a U.S. frigate, the
Stark, was
attacked by an Iraqi warplane and thirty-seven Americans on board
were
killed….The Stark incident underscored the increasingly risky state
of affairs
in the Gulf, and it was followed by a formal announcement from
President Reagan
that the United States would reflag Kuwaiti oil tankers so that the
U.S. Navy could escort them.”
You can see photos of the USS Stark in the
VICTIMS OF ARAB ATTACKS photo album at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KnowTheEnemy/
“May 17 1987, had started out as a routine day in the Persian gulf,
we were to
soon be on patrol escorting the newly flagged Kuwaiti Oil tankers.
Little Did I
know that day would change my life forever .we were always thinking
of The world
and our loved ones back at home, to get this over with do our duty
to our
country .I had just helped Daniel Homicki, move into my old bunk,
and I went on
my last watch ,my commitment to the Navy was up.
What was supposed to be a good last memory for me went horribly
wrong. The
excitement of coming home was over shadowed by an Iraqi attack that
killed 37 of
my shipmates, and wounded many more, I narrowly escaped death myself
by being on a SH2 Sea sprite helicopter.”

“USS STARK
On May 17, 1987, the Oliver Hazard Perry class frigate, USS Stark
(FFG 31) was
hit by two Exocet anti-ship cruise missiles fired by an Iraqi F-1
Mirage fighter
aircraft while operating in the central Persian Gulf. The explosion
of the first
missile caused extensive structural damage and flooding. Combustion
of the
burning propellant of both missiles immediately caused intense fires
to build
throughout the ship. There were 37 deaths and 5 injuries reported as
a result of the attack.

“THE STARK INCIDENT
When the USS Stark (FFG-31) took a hit from a pair of Exocet

unavailable.
Additionally, the ship’s damage control and fire fighting inventory
did not
include many of the important fire fighting and life saving
equipment that
ordinary fire fighters ashore use every day.

sailors were killed, and over 30 others were wounded.”
“Iraq has the motivation and the means to actively support the
Islamist networks of the region*** In the past, there have been
intelligence reports of possible cooperation between Iraq and Osama
bin Laden. Iraq has already tried to assassinate President Bush
Senior in 1993, when he visited Kuwait as a private citizen. In the
attack on the USS Cole in Aden (in) October (of 2000), there could
have been an
Iraqi connection. Iraq has excellent relations with the anti-Western
Yemeni
Islamists of the Army of Aden-Abyan, whose militants have been
arrested by the
Yemenite authorities in connection with the attack. Such an attack
required long
preparations, technical and military skills and good operational
intelligence.
In addition, the explosive used in the attack was sophisticated,
a “shaped

organizations, and which may have come from a military stockpile.”

Well it was nice that Webb eulogized the crew of the USS Stark, but
as Secretary of the Navy he would be expected to do no less. What
was troublesome was that instead of advocating regime change in
Saddam Hussein’s Iraq, which had hit the USS Stark, Webb instead
advocated attacking Iran, which had also been attacked by Saddam
Hussein’s Iraq.
The Iran-Iraq war started when Saddam Hussein sought to seize the
oil rich Abadan section of Iran, proclaiming that “Abadan is Arab!”
While we support regime change in BOTH Saddam Hussein’s Iraq and in
the Iran of the lunatics who run that country, Webb’s pro-Saddam
tilt in the Iran-Iraq war had to have helped to keep Iran on its
anti-American trajectory. That trajectory may well result in Iranian
nuclear weapons being used against America by Iran in the not too
distant future. We have a million dollar question about Larry
Sabato. From “AJR,
American Journalism Review April/May 2005 issue The Quote
Machines By Mark Francis Cohen
Mark Francis Cohen, whose work has appeared in the Washington Post
and the New York Times, is a contributing editor at Washingtonian
magazine.
Larry J. Sabato, who bills himself on the paid speaking circuit
as “probably the most quoted college professor in the land,”
recently donated $1 million to the University of Virginia .
That sum of money—estimated to be 12 to 13 times the scholar’s
annual salary—makes Sabato, 52, the most generous faculty member the
university has ever employed. Actually, it’s one of the biggest
gifts an active professor has handed to a school anywhere.
So where did Sabato get all this cash? “Thank goodness for compound
interest,” the mustachioed pundit told the Washington Post the day
his gift was announced. “It’s amazing what you can live on eating
Kraft Macaroni & Cheese for dinner.”
“Still, a prudent lifestyle and savvy investment decisions hardly
explain Sabato’s beneficence. The scholar has amassed mounds of
extra cash writing 23 books and moonlighting as a public speaker.
He’s a successful pundit whose words and face blanket the newspapers
and airwaves, appearances that boost his profile and his cachet on
the speaking circuit….it has become routine for individual editors,
say on a national desk, to forbid reporters from using certain
pundits as sources. Many editors interviewed for this article would
only admit such prohibitions anonymously. “I have told my reporters
not to use Larry Sabato anymore,” says the editor of a publication
that covers Congress.”
You decide: Where did Sabato get the million dollars? Why would “the
editor of a publication that covers Congress” have told
his “reporters not to use Larry Sabato anymore.” ? “Larry Sabato..
a classmate of Allen’s in the early 1970s, said in a
televised interview Monday that Allen used the “n-word.”
Earlier, Dr. Ken Shelton — a radiologist who played football with
Allen at the University of Virginia in the early 1970s — said Allen
not only used the slur frequently but also once stuffed a severed
deer head into a black family’s mailbox…. Christopher LaCivita, an
Allen strategist… said Allen and Sabato were not friends nor did
they associate with each other in college. “ Sabato, director of the
University of Virginia Center for Politics, would not say how he
knew Allen used the slur. He told Chris Matthews on MSNBC that he
did not know whether it was true that Allen used the word frequently.
“I’m simply going to stay with what I know is the case, and the fact
is he did use the n-word, whether he’s denying it or not,” Sabato
said.
However, Tuesday, Sabato acknowledged he has never directly heard
Allen use the slur.

UVA’s Larry Sabato had strong words about Sen. George Allen (R-VA)
on “Hardball” last night:
MSNBC’s Matthews: “What about these charges that he actually used
the bad language that some of us are familiar with in this country—
in fact, most Americans are—the bad language about people from
another, other background—did he do it?”
Sabato: “I can’t say how frequently he did it, but I don’t believe
him when he denies never having done it.”
More Sabato: “I’m simply going to say that I’m going to stay with
what I know is the case. And the fact is that he did use the ‘N’
word, whether he’s denying it now or not. He did use it. It was
the ‘70s, you’re right, it was a harsh term, it was an obscenity at
this as far as I’m concerned.”
Matthews: “How do you know about the ‘N’ word? How do you know,
Larry, about the ‘N’ word?”
Sabato: “Because there is other evidence that I’m not going to go
into on your show, Chris, sorry.”

As far back as May of 2006 Larry Sabato was so concerned about who
would challenge Republican US Senator George Allen in the Virginia
Senate Race in 2006 that he was calling one of the Democratic
candidates for the nomination “The worst candidate I have ever
seen.” That candidate, Harris Miller, did not get nominated.
The candidate who was nominated was former Navy Secretary James
Webb, a.k.a. Jim Webb.
Sabato in May of 2006 said of George Allen in 2008, “Sabato ranks
him as one of three GOP hopefuls who have an actual shot at winning
the nomination.”

Larry and Me
I had the good fortune to be able to speak with UVA Prof. Larry
Sabato yesterday after an event in D.C. I got the chance to ask him
about some of the hot topics in the Virginia blogosphere and he had
some interesting things to say.
“The worst candidate I have ever seen.” “A joke.” “Won’t even look
you in the eye when he is talking to you.”
Who might you ask is he describing?
None other than 2006 Democrat senate hopeful Harris Miller.
However, Sabato wouldn’t go so far as to say that Miller wouldn’t be
the nominee. While the good Professor didn’t shy away from making
predictions in any other race he was asked about, he didn’t even
make a guess on the Democrat senate primary next month. Why? Well,
he seems convinced that there is a large Democrat contingent who
will never vote for Jim Webb on the sole basis that he was a Reagan
appointee.
What he would say is that neither Miller nor Webb would defeat
George Allen in November. He said that Webb would make it more
interesting than Miller, but they would both ultimately lose.
Aside from Democrats not voting for Webb on the basis of his ties to
the Reagan Administration, Sabato claimed that there are organized
efforts by Republicans to vote in the Democrat primary for Miller on
the basis that he is such a horrible candidate and would lose worse
than Webb to Allen in November. (If there are indeed such efforts, I
have yet to hear of them.)
On George Allen in 2008, Sabato ranks him as one of three GOP
hopefuls who have an actual shot at winning the nomination, the
other two being John McCain and Mitt Romney. Sabato pointed out the
weaknesses of all three candidates—McCain being a maverick in a
party that hasn’t nominated a maverick since Wendell Wilke; Romney
being Governor of Massachusetts which automatically makes him
suspect to conservatives; and Allen being more Bush than Bush in a
time when W’s approval ratings are in the basement.
Finally, closer to home, I posed the question to Prof. Sabato about
whether PWC Chairman Sean Connaughton has a future at the statewide
level in Virginia . Sabato thought that without a doubt he does, but
said Connaughton might have to wait a cycle or two in order to give
himself a chance to remake his image after he was, as Sabato put
it, “unfairly characterized as a Tom Davis-moderate” during the 2005
Lt. Gov. primary.
So, there you have it—straight from Sabato’s mouth to my ears and
typed here by my fingers.

That Larry Sabato was concerned about who might be elected President
in 2008 is clear. Here’s Sabato being quoted about a Hillary blunder:
“A blunder for Clinton ?
By THOMAS M. DeFRANK
DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU

WASHINGTON - Hillary Clinton’s painstakingly crafted campaign to
soften her limousine liberal pedigree for 2008 hit a speed bump in
Harlem yesterday.
Ever since being elected to the Senate, New York ‘s junior senator
has strived to persuade moderate and independent voters she’s not
just another Hollywood lefty.
But her likening of House Republican leaders to slave-era plantation
overseers at least momentarily complicates her move-to-the-middle
blueprint.
“The use of the word ‘plantation’ is terribly unwise,” said Larry
Sabato, director of the University of Virginia ‘s Center for
Politics. “It will just reinforce the view most Americans have of
Hillary Clinton as being very liberal.”
It could have been worse, Sabato added: “At least she didn’t mention
Hitler.”

NewsMeat.com reveals that Cain gave Sen. John Kerry $300 last year
and Sabato donated $500 in 1999 to Utah Democrat James Matheson’s
winning run for a seat in the House.
Yet, good luck locating a single news story that quotes either man
and references the political donations they’ve made.
Sabato’s official site, the Crystal Ball, evaluates Rep. Matheson’s
race in 2006, and he doesn’t mention his contribution to Matheson. I
guess Sabato doesn’t believe in full disclosure and transparency.

Next we come to the issues of racism and anti-Semitism. Not only has
the Webb campaign paid for and created an anti-Semitic flyer against
Webb’s Jewish opponent in the Democrat US Senate Primary, Anti-
Semites have used words like Senator Macacawitz to describe Senator
Allen in a clear attempt to appeal to anti-Semitism.
The following was from being an “isolated incident”
“Campaign staffer in House race resigns after Allen e-mail
DANVILLE, Va. A campaign staffer for Democratic Congressional
candidate Al Weed resigned today after sending an e-mail to
supporters that used vulgar language and poked fun at Senator George
Allen.
Weed’s campaign says Meryl Ibis resigned after sending the e-mail in
preparation for Allen’s scheduled stop in Danville today.
In the message, Ibis referred to Allen as “George ‘Macacawitz’
Allen,” The e-mail also contained an expletive.”Democratic Organizer
Quits After Calling Allen ‘Macacawitz’
Thursday, October 5, 2006; B02
A field organizer for Democratic congressional candidate Al Weed
resigned yesterday after it was discovered that she referred to Sen.
George Allen (R-Va.) as “Macacawitz.”
In an e-mail sent last night, Meryl Ibis asked Democratic supporters
to protest “George ‘Macacawitz’ Allen” during a Republican rally in
Danville.
Dick Wadhams, Allen’s campaign manager, said Ibis’s e-mail “fits a
pattern of anti-Semitic behavior” by Democrats. Wadhams said Allen’s
opponent, Democrat James Webb, should be held accountable for Ibis’s
e-mail because she also was one of his volunteer organizers.”
Or this from another source: “Richard Clarke” (said) …Allen’s known
as Senator Macacawitz. Not surprising, from what I’ve heard about
Clarke.”

Clarke of course is another of Saddam’s Saddemocrats, like Webb,
Clarke opposed the liberation of Iraq. For those concerned with
things such as the genocide in Rwanda the role of Richard Clarke in
blocking Madeline Albright from trying to stop that genocide should
be instructive: Excerpted from the PBS Frontline Interview with
former U.S. Secretary of State Madeline Albright:
Can you tell the story that you talk about in your book of the
instructions that came to you at the U.N. about the U.S. position on
calling for a full withdrawal of U.N. forces The secretary-general
basically came to the Security Council with three options: either to
reinforce this UNAMIR group, which really was inadequate; to
withdraw it completely; or to have a kind of medium option of some
reinforcement of it. My instructions were to support full
withdrawal. I listened to the discussion very carefully in the
Security Council. I could see that our position was wrong, and
especially in
listening to the African delegate, Ambassador Gambari from Nigeria,
[who] was
very moving on this. [So] I had these instructions which made no
sense at all. These were in informal meetings of the Security
Council, where the real discussion goes on. I asked my deputy to
take my seat while I left, and went out into the hall into these
phone booths and called Washington. I decided not to call the State
Department from whence my instructions really came, but the
National Security Council, because they were dealing with it on a
very imminent basis. I felt that I would get a better hearing if I
called the National
Security Council, which I did, and they said, Well, no, were
worrying about
this, and these are your instructions. I actually screamed into the
phone. I
said, Theyre unacceptable. I want them changed. So they told me to
chill
out and calm down. But ultimately, they did send me instructions that
allowed us to do a reinforcement of UNAMIR; not a massive changing of
the mandate and enlarging it or withdrawing it, but the middle option
allowed me to support that. I have been told you talked to Richard
Clarke, that the conversation was with him. That is correct. Dick
Clarke and others were in charge of developing a new peacekeeping
policy that had begun to be discussed
under the Bush administration, that ended up being this Presidential
Decision Directive 25. And that listed how, and under what
circumstances
peacekeeping operations would be supported by the United States.
I talked to Dick Clarke. I did not talk to Tony Lake.
I was not the secretary of state; I was the U.N. ambassador, and I
was
trying very hard to make sure that we could continue to support
peacekeeping
operations. Therefore, the mandates were very important.”

Speaking about another Clark, Saddam Hussein’s lawyer: Ramsey Clark,
the following passage should also be instructive:
“In an echo of the 1939 Hitler-Stalin Pact, former communists and
anarchists in Russia now work with figures like
Zhirinovsky, who have themselves sought alliances with German
neo-Nazis. Clark, meanwhile, represented a Rwandan Hutu militiaman
fighting his extradition from the US back to Rwanda to face genocide
charges. The WWP line simultaneously (and predictably) tilted to the
genocidal Hutu militias as the UN wrote up war crime charges against
their leaders for ordering the slaughter of half a million Tutsi
civilians in 1994.”
“AS ELECTED PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE OF THE UNITED STATES SENATE, ROBERT
BYRD IS THIRD IN LINE TO SUCCEED THE PRESIDENT, FEW PEOPLE REALIZE
HOW
POWERFUL HE IS” read one of the many internet postings about Byrd.
Of course for “Senator Byrd, a ‘former’ Ku Klux Klansman, to again
become third in line to succeed the President the Democrats would
have to regain control of the US Senate. Here another internet
posting keeps up with
Byrd’s current activities: “October 3, 2002 Robert C. Byrd was the
only Senator in the 100-member chamber to vote against opening debate
on the Iraq question. The Senate has opened debate on Joint
Resolution
46, a resolution authorizing the President to use whatever force he
deems necessary in Iraq or elsewhere. Byrd was first elected to the
Senate in 1958 and has now served for 44 years.” Of course Byrd has a
long record in such matters.
Ultra-right-wing extremst and notorious anti-Israel CNN Crossfire
co-host Robert Novak, interviewing Colin Powell, of all people,
quoted
his fellow anti-Israel lunatic Senator Robert Byrd:
“MR. NOVAK: Mr. Secretary, Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, the
president pro tem of the Senate, often speaks his mind. He did this
week, and we’ll put it up on the screen. He said, “If we expect to
kill every terrorist in the world, that’s going to keep us going
beyond doomsday. How long can we afford this?”
http://www.state.gov/secretary/rm/2002/8624.htm
How long could the terrorists afford to continue to be wiped out by
the US government we wonder? Well I guess that question never
occurred
to Byrd or to the online Egyptian newspaper AL-AHRAM which used the
same quote from Byrd. Clearly Byrd hates the idea of wiping out arab
terrorists.
http://www.ahram.org.eg/weekly/2002/576/re74.htm
Published in Cairo by AL-AHRAM established in 1875 Al-Ahram Weekly
Online 7 - 13 March 2002 Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia: “If we
expect to kill every terrorist in the world, that’s going to keep us
going beyond doomsday,” he said. “How long can we afford this?” The
thing is, though clearly Byrd, Novak, and Al Ahram aren’t interested,
is that we cannot afford not to continue to go after terrorists like
arafat and bin Laden and their master Saddam Hussein. All of whom we
guess must be among Byrd’s and Novak’s biggest fans. THIS FROM AN
ANTI-ISRAEL SOURCE: “only Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV) had a perfect
record of zero compliance with recommendations of the American Israel
Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), Israel’s principal Washington, DC
lobby.” Quite a turn of phrase there, in case it slipped by you, the
anti-Israel source quoted immediately above used the
word “compliance”
, a buzz-word among classical anti-Semites in their “vast Jewish
conspiracy” theories.
THIS FROM a very different sort of source entirely: “Friends, if ever

Here yet another internet posting tracks the terrorists’ best friend
on
Capitol Hill, Robert Byrd: “Wednesday, Feb. 27, 2002 Sen. Byrd Gripes
About War on Terror Senator Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., the famous former
Ku
Klux Klansman, complained today, “There’s no end in sight in our
mission in Afghanistan.” The remarks “were among the harshest in
Congress yet about the anti-terrorism campaign,” the Associated Press
noted today. Long ago saddled with the nickname Senator Pork for his
notoriously wasteful squandering of taxpayer dollars, Byrd controls
spending legislation as chairman of the Senate Appropriations
Committee. Though he loves bringing boondoggle make-work projects
home
to West Virginia, he has begun expressing reluctance about footing
the bill for ending terrorism.” Byrd’s obstructionism to fighting
terrorists like arafat and bin Laden and their master: Saddam
Hussein,
seems to have no bounds, “Thursday, October 10, 2002 By a 66-31 vote,
the Senate rejected an amendment by Sen. Robert Byrd D-W.Va. - the
most outspoken Senate opponent of the war resolution - that would
have ended the authorization for him to use force against Iraq after
two years.” Fortunately a number of people on and off the net have
been keeping track of the terrorists’ best friend on Capitol Hill, US
Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, for instance: “WHY AM I NOT
SURPRISED? Finally, Congress has somewhat meekly voiced its support
for Israel. The Senate version of the bill was symbolic and largely
omitted language from the House which placed blame on Arafat. Despite
the watering down in the Senate, two members voted against it: “The
two most senior Democrats, Sens. Robert Byrd of West Virginia and
Ernest “Fritz” Hollings of South Carolina, still opposed it, however
Byrd is a former Klansman. “ http://opinionated.blogspot.com/
“This ex-Klansman wasn’t just a passive member of the nation’s most
notorious hate group. According to news accounts and biographical
information, Sen. Byrd was a “Kleagle”-an official recruiter who
signed up members for $10 a head. He said he joined because it
“offered excitement” and because the Klan was an “effective force” in
“promoting traditional American values.” Nothing like the thrill of
gathering ‘round a midnight bonfire, , tying nooses, and promoting
white supremacy with a bunch of your hooded friends. The ex-Klansman
allegedly ended his ties with the group in 1943. He may have stopped
paying dues, but he continued to pay homage to the KKK. (someone) in
West Virginia discovered a letter Sen. Byrd had written to the
Imperial Wizard of the KKK three years after he says he abandoned the
group. He wrote: “The Klan is needed today as never before and I am
anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia” and “in every state
in the Union.” The ex-Klansman later filibustered the landmark 1964
Civil Rights Act-for more than 14 hours. He also opposed the
nominations of the Supreme Court’s two black justices, liberal
Thurgood Marshall and conservative Clarence Thomas. Meanwhile, author
Graham Smith recently discovered another letter Sen. Byrd wrote after
he quit the KKK, this time attacking desegregation of the armed
forces. The ex-Klansman vowed never to fight “with a Negro by my
side.
Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in
the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours
become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest
specimen from the wilds.”
http://www.capitalismmagazine.com/2001/march/mm_byrd_kkk.htm
All it would take for Byrd to become President of the United States
would be for Democrats to regain control of the US Senate and
Saddam’s Saddemocrats, and, or, arab terrorists, to “remove”
President Bush, Vice President Cheney and the Speaker of the
House. “One of the most influential Nazi spies in the U.S. was Dr.
Walter
Becher, an anti-Communist “refugee leader” from the Hitler regime.
Becher joined the Nazi Party in December, 1931, and became an editor
of Die Zeit, a Nazi propaganda sheet in 1937. He was a Brown-Shirt
for
a spell and a member of the National Socialist Student Bund. He
editorialized for the purge of all Jews from state-owned radio in
Prague. During the war, Becher worked in the Goebbels Propaganda
Ministry and for the Wehrmacht as a war correspondent. Soon after the
war, he founded a newspaper in Germany that agitated for the
restoration of National Socialism. Becher had his advocates in
Washington, D.C. In 1957, Congressman Usher Burdick inserted one of
Dr. Becher’s propaganda pieces in the Congressional Record, and in
August 1959, seven more appeared in the pages of the Record. When he
junketed to the States, conferences were arranged for him by the
State
Department. His geopolitical opinions were trumpeted by scores of
newspapers and the Mutual Broadcasting Network’s 600 affiliates.
Dr. Becher’s early contacts in Washington were McCarthy and William
Jenner in the Senate, and a handful of congressmen in the House. T.H.
Tetens in The New Germany and the Old Nazis, was awed by the Nazi’s
camaraderie with Beltway politicians, and tracked his movements
through the District of Columbia: “During the early fifties, when he
first came to Washington, he began to build for himself a formidable
political machine. His scheme was very simple. If he could obtain the
support of leading politicians in the United States, his prestige and
stature would grow enormously at home.... With the help of the
McCarthy faction in the United States, he could establish a
nationwide
reputation as the foremost leader of the anti-Communist crusade.”
Among the senators who sent personal letters of support to Dr. Becher
in Munich in the 1950s: Robert Byrd.”. Senate Asks Clinton to Oppose

http://politics.wizbangblog.com/2006/09/20/george-allens-jewish-
heritage-confirmed.php
In a statement on AllenHQ and in an interview with The Jewish Daily
Forward, Senator George Allen addresses the ethnicity of his parents.
Yesterday, I found it especially reprehensible that a reporter would
impugn the attitudes of my mother, as Ms. Peggy Fox did in her first
question at the Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce Senate debate. My
mother and father both taught me to abhor bigotry, and Ms. Fox’s
suggestion to the contrary was deeply offensive.”

“The notion peddled by the Webb campaign that I am somehow
embarrassed by my heritage is equally offensive, and also absurd.”
“I was raised as a Christian and my mother was raised as a
Christian. And I embrace and take great pride in every aspect of my
diverse heritage, including my Lumbroso family line’s Jewish
heritage, which I learned about from a recent magazine article and
my mother confirmed.”
“On several occasions through the years, I have mentioned publicly
that my mother’s father was incarcerated by the Nazis. I have never
known whether he was persecuted by the Nazis because of his
nationality, his religious faith, his role as a community leader, or
his part in the anti-Nazi resistance. What I do know is that my
grandfather’s imprisonment by the Nazis had a profound impact on my
mother. It was a subject she found painful to discuss and so we
almost never discussed it.”
“Some may find it odd that I have not probed deeply into the details
of my family history, but it’s a fact. We in the Allen household
were simply taught that what matters is a person’s character,
integrity, effort, and performance - not race, gender, ethnicity or
religion. And so whenever we would ask my mother through the years
about our family background on her side, the answer always was, ‘Who
cares about that?’”
“My mother has lived a long and full life, and I hope and pray she
will enjoy many more years. She deserves respect and she also
deserves privacy, especially where painful memories are concerned. I
sincerely hope that simple decency will be respected.”
In case you missed the question, here it is:
“It has been reported,” said Fox, that “your grandfather Felix, whom
you were given your middle name for, was Jewish. Could you please
tell us whether your forebears include Jews and, if so, at which
point Jewish identity might have ended?”
In a campaign most notable for missteps, Allen’s response confounds
pundits, but in our estimation plays very well to potential voters,
at a visceral, emotional level. He wasn’t being questioned about a
his family history, he was being accused of hiding it. The
desperation of Jim Webb’s Netroots Coordinator Lowell Feld to make
this persona matter an issue should be spotlighted by the Allen
campaign - repeatedly. Privacy, or more importantly inappropriate
incursions into ones private life, is an issue that everyone can
identify with, and voters have a history of being very supportive of
politicians requests to allow them a level of privacy in their
family - for example Clinton and Bush’s protectiveness of their
daughters privacy.
This clip, where Allen’s justifiable outrage at the tone and
aspersions of the question, will go along way …
The response shows an Allen who is passionate, raw, unscripted, and
protective of his family. Anyone who thinks those qualities are a
negative with voters is just deluding themselves.” Here is a story
about Senator Allen’s opponent Jim Webb, a.k.a.
James Webb, that you will NEVER see on the Saddemocrat controlled
media:
“Webb’s alleged use of a racial epithet
In late September, Webb was asked if he had ever used the “N-word.”
Webb replied that “I don’t think that there’s anyone who grew up
around the South that hasn’t had the word pass through their lips at
one time in their life.” Webb noted that that word and a lot of
other epithets were in “Fields of Fire,” a novel Webb wrote about
the Vietnam War.
Allen campaign officials referred reporters to Dan Cragg, a former
acquaintance of Webb’s. Craig said that Webb told him in 1983 that
Webb and members of his ROTC unit at the University of Southern
California would “hop into their cars, and would go down to Watts ,”
taking fake rifles, yell out epithets, “point the rifles at them,
pull the triggers and then drive off laughing.”

By contrast, although he has wrongfully been painted as a racist by
the
Saddemocrat controlled media US Senator George Allen, Republican of
Virginia is
no such thing. He is in fact, just the opposite.
As a US Senator George Allen sponsored legislation to award $1.25
billion in
grants for computers and technology for historically black colleges
and
universities — the measure died in the US House of Representatives.
“I have worked very hard in the Senate to reach out to all
Americans, regardless
of their race, religion, ethnicity or gender,” Senator George Allen
said.
Senator George Allen proposed that the Senate apologize for its
failure to enact anti-lynching laws in the 1930’s and 40’s.
In fact Senator Allen is being politically lynched every day in the
Saddemocrat controlled media. He is no racist.
We have what we believe is a credible theory about the so-called
“macaca” incident. What we did not know at the time the so-called
“macaca” story appeared was that Senator Allen’s mother is Jewish.
We found that out later. Jews of the generation of Senator Allen’s
mother
frequently speak one version of Yiddish or another.
Here is some of the coverage of the so-called “macaca” incident:
“This fellow here, over here with the yellow shirt, Macaca, or
whatever his name
is, he’s with my opponent,” Mr. Allen said on Friday night at a
rally in Breaks,
next to the Kentucky border. “He’s following us around everywhere.
And it’s just
great…. The senator’s communications director, John Reid, said in an
interview
Tuesday that Allen campaign workers had good-naturedly nicknamed Mr.
Sidarth
“Mohawk” because he would not disclose his name and the sobriquet
seemed
appropriate for Mr. Sidarth’s hairstyle. Perhaps, Mr. Reid
suggested, “Mohawk”
morphed into “macaca,” with results that turned out to be
regrettable.
After his initial use of the term, Mr. Allen went on to urge the
crowd to “give
a welcome to Macaca here. Welcome to America and the real world of
Virginia
.”Mr. Reid said those words were not an effort to stamp
a “foreigner” label on
Mr. Sidarth, who was born in Fairfax County , Va. People who follow
the campaign
of Mr. Allen, who was born in California , know that he often talks
about “the
real America , real people in the real world,” meaning people
outside the
Washington Beltway, Mr. Reid said. Mr. Allen expressed further
regrets on
Tuesday, saying, “I apologize if my comments offended this young
man.”
What we believe Senator Allen was trying to say was
fakakta: Yiddish for crazy, all mixed up.

We believe that Senator Allen would have heard one version of that
word or
another frequently as a child from his Jewish mother or one or more
of his other
Jewish relatives,some of whom spoke several languages.

There are thousands of online examples of the word fakakta
which is also sometimes spelled in a variety of other ways including
fekakte or verkakte, among others. We cannot blame Senator Allen for
mispronouncing fakakta as “macaca”. He certainly never meant to use
any sort of racial slur or epithet.

crescendo as the girls suddenly bit the snakes with their teeth,
repeatedly tore
off flesh and spat it out as blood ran down their chins. As the
leaders
applauded, the girls
then attached the snakes to sticks and grilled them over the fire,

Washington’s smiles turning back toward Damascus, Syrian President
Hafez Assad grabbed his opportunity, and General Aoun has been
driven to seek refuge in the French Embassy in Beirut. At least 30,
and perhaps as many as 100, of General Aoun’s followers were
captured by Syrian soldiers, handcuffed, lined up and shot in the
back of the head. On Sunday in the town of Baabda, gunmen in
Lebanese army uniforms murdered another of the few remaining
Lebanese leaders to dare to oppose Syrian control-Danny Chamoun-and
his wife and two young sons. France has asked the United Nations to
investigate the atrocities that have followed the Syrian takeover.
The U.S has not joined that request. The State Department,
instantaneous and eager in its condemnation of Israel, has yet to
mumble a word of displeasure about Syria’s killings. As the Syrians
descend on Lebanon, so soon after their brother Baathists consumed
Kuwait, we hope the Bush Administration is able to sustain a clear-
eyed view of America’s new Middle Eastern ally, Hafez Assad.”

Can you imagine the nightmare of Hillary Rodham Clinton elected
President in 2008 and James Webb,a.k.a. Jim Webb, elected Vice
President in
2008? What sort of views does Webb have of Bashir al Assad, the son
of the
Syrian dictator Hafez Al Assad, and his Baathist regime?
Here is Webb being quoted about Syria, the nation from which and
through which most of the terrorists who are murdering Americans and
coalition
forces and innocent Iraqis right now come from,in 2006:
“On the current situation in the Middle East, Webb said he believes
the U.S. must befriend Syria and try to use that country as an ally…”
And if under President Hillary Rodham Clinton and Vice President
James Webb,
a.k.a. Jim Webb, or President Webb should something happen to
Presdient Hillary
Rodham Clinton the U.S. befriends Syria and tries to use Syria as an
ally what
country or countries will
Syria be used as an ally against?

Against Israel? Syria is no friend of Israel. So if under President
Hillary
Rodham Clinton and Vice President James Webb, a.k.a. Jim Webb
America becomes the friend of Syria and the Syria is the enemy of
Israel does America become the enemy of Israel? Does America nuke
Israel? Does America round up American Jews and open extermination
camps? In
America can a sitting US Senator be asked whether he has Jewish
ancestry? Think
it can’t happen here? It just did in Virginia!

SYRIAN THREAT, ROCKET THREATS
Tensions with Syria continue, while Israel Air Force officer says
short-range rockets are the main threat.
Syria’s Information Minister Muhsin Bilal says the “Syrian nation
will not wait
much longer for the return of the Golan Heights.” He told the
Egyptian Al-Ahram
newspaper that though Syria has waited patiently for 16 years hoping
the “peace
for land” formula would be implemented, “nothing has happened.” In
the
meanwhile, an Israel Air Force officer said today that the main
threat against
Israel today stems from short-range rockets from Gaza, Lebanon and
possibly
Judea and Samaria. “If the IDF had had full intelligence on
everything going on
in southern Lebanon near Israel, we could have prepared better for a
better
solution, both from the air and on the ground, to the short-range
Katyusha
missiles,” he said. The officer said that the maps used by the Air
Force were
more up-to-date than those used by the ground forces.Two Kassam
rockets were
fired by Palestinian terrorists in Gaza Monday morning. The rockets
landed just
short of the northern Gaza border fence, causing no damage.”
And what of Hamas, whose headquarters are in Damascus,Syria?
“Report: Hamas weighing large-scale conflict with Israel
...Hamas smuggled hundreds of tons of weapons from Egypt into Gaza
Strip Aaron
Klein, WND Hamas has succeeded in smuggling “hundreds of tons” of
weapons from
Egypt into the Gaza Strip and is preparing for the possibility of
launching a
large-scale conflict with Israel... Hamas has smuggled from the
Egyptian Sinai
desert between several hundred and 1,300 tons of advanced rockets;
anti-tank and
anti-aircraft missiles; rocket propelled grenades; raw explosives;
rifles;
ammunition; and other heavy weaponry....Israel withdrew from the
Gaza Strip last
year. In a deal brokered in November by Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice, the
Egypt-Gaza border, once controlled by the Jewish state, now is
manned by
Egyptian and (so-calle) “palestinian” security officials and is
observed by
European monitors. The monitors reportedly have fled their duty
several times
the past few months. Israeli security officials have noted multiple
breaches in
border security, including the transport of terrorists and weapons
across the
border. They say several key sections of the border are penetrable
and that
smuggling tunnels that snake under the border
are “thriving.” ...since the
Jewish state withdrew from Gaza, the (so-called) “palestinians”
successfully
have transferred hundreds of tons of weapons into the Strip. “If we
don’t move
to counter this smuggling, it will continue and create a situation
in Gaza
similar to the one in southern Lebanon,” (Yuval Diskin,
director of Israel’s Shin Bet Security Services, said)referring to
Hizbullah’s
development of large rocket and weapons arsenals in south Lebanon
for use
against Israel. Hizbullah ‘turning Gaza into south Lebanon’... “he
is right. We
are turning Gaza into south Lebanon,” said Abu Ahmed, northern Gaza
leader for
the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terror group. “We learned from
Hizbullah’s victory
that Israel can be defeated if we know how to hit them and if we are
well
prepared,” Abu Ahmed said. “We are importing rockets and the
knowledge to launch
them and we are also making many plans for battle.” Abu Abdullah, a
leader of
Hamas’ so-called “military wing” told WND his group is preparing for
war against
Israel. “In the last 15 months, even though the fighters of Hamas
kept the
cease-fire, we did not stop making important advancements and
professional
training on the military level. In the future, after Hamas is
obliged to stop
the cease-fire, the world shall see our new military capabilities,”
said Abu
Abdullah, who is considered one of the most important operational
members of
Hamas’ Izzedine al-Qassam Martyrs Brigades, Hamas’
declared “resistance”
department. Al Aqsa’s Abu Ahmed said his group is receiving help
from Hizbullah
to import long-range rockets and train in guerrilla warfare
tactics. “We have
warm relations with Hizbullah, which helps with some of the training
programs,”
Abu Ahmed said. “We don’t have anything to be ashamed of - that we
are dealing
with Hizbullah and that we are receiving training and information
from them.” He
said Hizbullah maintains cells in the Sinai. “The Sinai is an
excellent ground
for training, the exchange of information and weapons and for
meetings on how to
turn every piece of land into usable territory for a confrontation
with Israel,”
Abu Ahmed said. The terror leader said (so-called) “palestinian”
groups are
developing war bunkers inside Gaza imilar to the underground
Hizbullah lairs
Israel found during last month’s war in Lebanon. “Our preparations
include the
building of special bunkers. Of course, we are taking into
consideration that
Gaza is not the same topography as Lebanon,” Abu Ahmed said. During
its
confrontation with Hizbullah, Israel destroyed scores of complex
bunkers that
snaked along the Lebanese side of the Israel-Lebanon border.
Military officials
said they were surprised by the scale of the Hizbullah bunkers, in
which Israeli
troops reportedly found war rooms stocked with advanced
eavesdropping and
surveillance equipment they noted were made by Iran. Abu Ahmed said
the most
important “tool” in the so-called “palestinian resistance arsenal
was rockets.
He said his group learned from Hizbullah that Israel can be defeated
with
missiles. “We saw that with the capacity to bombard the Israeli
population with
hundreds of rockets every day we can change the strategic balance
with Israel,”
he said. Since Israel’s Gaza withdrawal, so-called “palestinian”
terror groups
have been regularly firing rockets at nearby Jewish communities. The
terrorists
generally have fired three versions of Qassam rockets, improvised
steel
projectiles filled with explosives and fuel. Qassams can travel
between one and
five miles depending on the sophistication of the particular rocket.
Israel has noted improvements in Qassams, including rockets carrying
double
engines. Israeli security officials say a large number of Katyusha
rockets have
been brought into Gaza. Katyushas can travel about 12 miles and can
deliver
large payloads. Hizbullah fired more than 2,800 Katyusha rockets
into Israel in
July and August, devastating many northern towns. In August, Islamic
Jihad fired
a Katyusha rocket into the Israeli Negev. It landed in an empty
area. In June
the group fired a Katyusha-like rocket that traveled about nine
miles. “The
Katyusha we fired (in August) shows we can have every weapon we
need,” said Abu
Ahmed. “It is only a matter of a small period before Gaza is ready
for war.”
