President's analyst? Doctor puts 'Bush on the Couch'
New York Daily News, NY - Jun 8, 2004

…Bush shows an inability to grieve - dating back to age 7, when his sister died. "The family's reaction - no funeral and no mourning - set in motion his life-long pattern of turning away from pain [and hiding] behind antic behavior," says Frank, who contends Bush may suffer from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder….

Reagan played decisive role in Saddam Hussein's survival in Iran-Iraq war

AFP 6-9-04

…Reagan, determined to check arch-foe Iran, opened a back door to Iraq through which flowed US intelligence and hundreds of millions of dollars in loan guarantees even as Washington professed neutrality in Baghdad's war with Tehran….

I don't know which is more disturbing--that Bush is a megalomaniac or the obsequious, distorted media coverage of Ronald Reagan's career. Decisions, decisions...

``The Washington Post revealed that in 2002, the Justice Department sent a memo to the White House justifying the use of torture. Torture - that's our Department of 'Justice' - they say `It's OK to torture people.' What's the Department of Education doing? Burning books?'' Jay Leno

Tampa International Airport now verifies flight of Saudis

The government has long denied that two days after the 9/11 attacks, the three were allowed to fly.

By JEAN HELLER, Times Staff Writer
Published June 9, 2004

TAMPA - Two days after the Sept. 11 attacks, with most of the nation's air traffic still grounded, a small jet landed at Tampa International Airport, picked up three young Saudi men and left...

...Perez, the former FBI agent on the flight, could not be located this week, and Grossi declined to talk about the experience.

"I'm over it," he said in a telephone interview. "The White House, the FAA and the FBI all said the flight didn't happen. Those are three agencies that are way over my head, and that's why I'm done talking about it."

Grossi did say that Unger's account of his participation in the flight is accurate...

Well, well, well...I guess BushInc couldn't keep this story under the covers forever.

Nancy Reagan noted for style, understated influence

BY MICHAEL KILIAN

Chicago Tribune

…Nancy Reagan had correct but very cool relations with Barbara Bush and, according to some Republicans, wanted George H.W. Bush, the vice president, removed from the ticket in 1984. One of her frequent luncheon companions was columnist George Will, who began attacking Bush as a "lap dog."…

The Gipper's Dignified Request

No congressional Democrats were invited to address a ceremony at the Capitol on Wednesday upon Reagan's arrival in Washington. The funeral was planned in detail by Reagan and his family dating back to 1989 when he left office.

Thanks for the memories Ronnie

Reagan, during his 1980 campaign, blamed trees for emitting 93 percent of the nation's nitrogen oxide pollution -- giving rise to jokes about killer trees.
Reagan fired 13,000 air traffic controllers in 1981 after they staged a work stoppage and used the National Labor Relations Board to crack down on labor unions. Reagan also banned the controllers from ever working again in their field. Clinton lifted that ban.

High crime rate
Deregulation of banks which led to the Savings & Loan scandals
Cuts in Medicaid, food stamps, Aid to Families with Dependent Children
The Reagan administration showed indifference to an emerging AIDS crisis.
Reagan supported mujaheddin rebels in Afghanistan in their prolonged battle against occupying Soviet forces. As part of that initiative, the CIA supported Muslim radicals from other Islamic countries. One of the first non-Afghan volunteers to join the ranks of the mujaheddin was Osama bin Laden.
The Reagan administration in 1984 secretly sold arms to Iran, a terrorist nation, to raise cash for the Nicaraguan contras, despite a congressional ban on support for the Latin American insurgency. An independent investigation concluded that the arms sales to Iran operations "were carried out with the knowledge of, among others, President Ronald Reagan (and) Vice President George Bush" and that "large volumes of highly relevant, contemporaneously created documents were systematically and willfully withheld from investigators by several Reagan Administration officials."
Fourteen officials were criminally charged and 11 convicted, although many were later pardoned. Lawrence Walsh, the independent counsel who ran the Iran-Contra inquiry, said there was "no credible evidence" that Reagan himself broke the law, but he set the stage for the illegal activities of others. Impeachment, Walsh said, "certainly should have been considered."
Reagan administration for five years provided military intelligence, economic aid and covert supplies of munitions to Iraq's armies in support of Saddam Hussein's war with Iran. The administration ignored Iraq's use of chemical weapons and treated Saddam's regime as the lesser of two evils.
Reagan's 1985 participation in a ceremony at a German cemetery where Nazi soldiers are buried.
Until a public protest forced Reagan to back away, his Agriculture Department sought to cut the school lunch program and redefine ketchup and relish as vegetables.
The combination of a huge "supply-side" tax cut, a historic military buildup and a painful two-year recession produced huge budget deficits and a nearly tripling of the national debt that haunted the country and policymakers for years and drained resources from social programs.

A George Bush Fan

A teacher in a small Texas town asks her class how many of them are George Bush fans. Not really knowing what a George Bush fan is, but wanting to be liked by the teacher, all the kids raise their hands except one boy.

The teacher asks Johnny why he has decided to be different. Johnny says, "I'm not a George Bush fan."

The teacher says, "Why aren't you a George Bush fan?" Johnny says, "I'm a John Kerry fan."

The teacher asks why he's a John Kerry fan. The boy says, "Well, my mom's a John Kerry fan and my dad's a John Kerry fan, so I'm a John
Kerry fan!"

The teacher is kind of angry, because this is Texas, so she asks, "What if your mom was a moron and your dad was an idiot, what would
that make you?"

Johnny says, "That would make me a George Bush fan."

"Barbara Bush looks more and more like George Washington everyday." Seen here

I miss the good old days when Nancy Reagan and Barbara Bush would engage in public catfights. Ahh, those were the days of true honor and dignity.
