Nation's Leading Historians to Bush/Cheney: Stop Destroying Records!

** Think Progress **

Thirty-two of the nation’s leading historians have sent letters to congressional leaders calling on them to stregthen the Presidential Records Act (PRA). The effort, led by the Center for American Progress Action Fund and joined by the American Historical Association, the Organization of American Historians, and the National Coalition for History, notes that while the PRA requires the administration to preserve presidential records, “it fails to provide an effective means
of enforcing compliance with that requirement.”

Dickhead Cheney considered killing Americans to provoke war with Iran

** Think Progress **

Speaking at the Campus Progress journalism conference earlier this month, Seymour Hersh — a Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist for The New Yorker — revealed that Bush administration officials held a meeting recently in the Vice President’s office to discuss ways to provoke a war with Iran.

In Hersh’s most recent article, he reports that this meeting occurred in the wake of the overblown incident in the Strait of Hormuz, when a U.S. carrier almost shot at a few small Iranian speedboats. The “meeting took place in the Vice-President’s office. ‘The subject was how to create a casus belli between Tehran and Washington,’” according to one of Hersh’s sources.

During the journalism conference event, I asked Hersh specifically about this meeting and if he could elaborate on what occurred. Hersh explained that, during the meeting in Cheney’s office, an idea was considered to dress up Navy Seals as Iranians, put them on fake Iranian speedboats, and shoot at them. This idea, intended to provoke an Iran war, was ultimately rejected:

FYI: Disgusting Republican Pig Rep. McHenry (NC) calls U.S. soldier in Iraq a 'two-bit security guard.'

** Think Progress **

Your typical chickenhawk, repulsive republican, never made a sacrifice for my country GOP Pig Patrick McHenry (NC-10) talking about a US Soldier in the Green Zone:

We spent the night in the Green Zone, in the poolhouse of one of Saddam’s palaces. A little weird, I got to be honest with you. But I felt safe. And so in the morning, I got up early — not that I make this a great habit — but I went to the gym because I just couldn’t sleep and everything else. Well, sure enough, the guard wouldn’t let me in. Said I didn’t have the correct credentials.

It’s 5:00 in the morning. I haven’t had sleep. I was not very happy with this two-bit security guard. So you know, I said, “I want to see your supervisor.” Thirty minutes later, the supervisor wasn’t happy with me, they escort me back to my room. It happens. I guess I didn’t need to work out anyway.

Yet ANOTHER repulsican PIG who thinks they are exempt from the rules. Who the hell do you think you are pig? You and everyone else in your 10th Congressional district that voted for your sorry ass are disgusting, un-American pigs. I am sure the filth in that district and perhaps the state is proud of you, Pig McHenry.

Of course, the repulsive republican spin machine is ONLY NOW making claims that the Pig was talking about a "contractor" working as a "security guard" inside the green zone. VERY convenient don't you think when the people working for the Pig at his Office and the gop lemmings, who lie to protect their own, took a while to make this claim.

I have no reason to believe you Pig, nor the lemmings that are willing to lie to protect your sorry Pig Ass.

Watch the Video @ Think Progress and contact the Pig by calling his D.C. office. Of course, his e-mail is restricted to NC Residents.
