I am gagging today because
conservatives are attempting to express outrage that Bush money-man David Hossein Safavian has extensive terrorist ties.
We also now know that Abramoff has been lobbying for Islamist banks with ties to terrorists.
Safavian WAS chief of procurement policy in the Office of Management and Budget for the Bush administration at the beginning of this week; now he's out of jail on bail. He had to quickly resign before they handcuffed him and dragged him to jail. Yes, mark this as the first but not the last indictment of Bush administration officials who have ties to terrorists.
Oh and per that DCCC link above, one can extrapolate that the FBI is in on it, God forbid:
The AMC's [American Muslim Council] success at dissembling its true purposes was underscored when a spokesman for FBI Director Robert Mueller described it in 2002 as the "the most mainstream Muslim group in the United States."
Bush and 9/11? Oh yes. He LIHOP for political gain: Repubs and especially Bushco sold their souls to the devil and now the devil is coming for payment.
Granted the Repub machine is now trying to distance themselves from these traitors by all-of-a-sudden writing articles exposing these lobbyists' treasonous ties to terrorists, they do sum it up pretty well:
But Safavian's not just tied to a dirty lobbyist. He's also tied to a convicted terrorist and a suspected terrorist supporter. Lobbying disclosure forms revealed last year that he has been in the employ of Abdurahman Alamoudi, an avowed supporter of Hamas and Hezbollah. Prosecutors have discovered evidence that he has links to al-Qaeda. At the time, Safavian waved aside any affiliation to Alamoudi. He insisted that he was really lobbying for a client named Jamal al Barzinji. That revelation did little to clear Safavian's name: A federal affidavit identifies Barzinji as the ringleader of a group suspected of aiding terrorists.
The facts are as such:
- Conservatives have been dealing with what we now call terrorists since at least the first Afghan war (Cold War proxy war between the US and the Soviets)
- These mujahadeen Islamists later grew into Al Qaeda
- Republicans under Reagan extensively armed the mujahadeen holy warriors who defeated the Soviets with US weaponry
- Ollie North, Reagan lackey, sold arms to Shiite Islamists in Iran to bankroll the Nicaraguan Contras who were moving the first mass shipments of cocaine into southcentral L.A. to bet the most bang for their buck.
- The US under Reagan and Bush I sold chemical weapons to Iraq to get revenge for Saddam's betrayal, who quickly started paying off suicide bombers' families in Israel after the relationship with the US went south
So Safavian and Abramoff appear to be the gifts that keeps on giving; they apparently have the power to bring down Bushco one man at a time, which has started happening this week.
Unfortunately, the damage to the US from Republicans may last a generation, especially in regards to world opinion of America.
