Tillman's Revenge

Wednesday, 01 August 2007
by Allen L. Roland

The execution and silencing of Pat Tillman could well be the singular event which will lead to the downfall of the Cheney/Bush crime syndicate and their ongoing abuse of power - as such, the poster boy for Bush's war could well become the poster boy for Bush's demise.
- Allen L Roland



The American people can reluctantly go along with the Bush administration's WMD charade in justifying its attack of Iraq and even their Katrina response fiasco but it will unequivocally not go along with the deliberate execution of Pat Tillman because he was about to go public with his misgivings about Bush's photo op war with Iraq.

Tillman will get his revenge when Congress reopens the investigation of Tillman's death and it should be sooner than later ~ for this will be the singular event which could well lead to the downfall of the Cheney/Bush crime syndicate and their ongoing abuse of power.

As such, Pat Tillman who was the poster boy for Bush's war could ironically become the poster boy for Bush's downfall.

Consider this, Tillman was deeply troubled by the war. In fact, he was overheard speaking out about the Iraq invasion and telling another soldier to vote for Kerry. The Progressive Review reveals that Tillman's favorite author was none other than Norm Chomsky. A visit with Chomsky was set up for as soon as Tillman returned. It seem most likely he was planning to speak out loudly and publicly against the war when his tour was over.

1. SO MANY THINGS have been introduced with:

"could well be the singular event which will lead to the downfall of the Cheney/Bush crime syndicate and their ongoing abuse of power...."

Ain't gonna happen.

8. Sadly, I agree.

2. What he was or wasn't going to speak loudly about is not tangible.

This is silly.

3. His extensive journal would have been tangible;

I guess that's why it 'disappeared'. From the article:

But here is the zinger ~ Tillman kept an extensive journal since he was 16 and guarded it with his life. A journal in which I am sure he shared his deep reservations about what he was seeing and experiencing in the middle east.Two days after his death, the journal, along with almost all of his other personal affects, disappeared.

4. If Tillman was indeed murdered, and for some reason I

do believe this to be the case, it leads to so many unanswered questions about other GIs. However, I don't believe this will bring BushCo down. I don't understand their ability to escape the multitudes of scandals unscathed, but somehow they manage to do it.

I wish this were the case, unfortunately I feel it is just another scandal that will be recorded but never result in accountability.

7. Rumsfeld looked old and at times as close to panic as I've ever

seen him yesterday when he was testifying aka, lying his soulless ass off.

6. I was thinking the same thing yesterday while watching that hearing.

But it's difficult to hold that thought because that poor family is still in a lot of pain.

9. well, lets hope

i do tend to agree with this sentiment, although, like others, i still can't figure out why bushco was not washed out to sea by katrina, at the least.
something will do it, though. something must.

10. A Chomsky-Reading NFL Pro?

Wow. Tillman is just all around ideal, wasn't he? Too good to be true.

11. Takes all kinds, eh? Yes, it appears that Tillman was one in a million

And for the record, I lay no claim to being even close to that, nor should most anyone else.

Tillman, as a human being had it all:

Intelligence
Consciousness
Conscience
Leadership
Drive
Determination
Ability
Physical Abilities that matched or exceeded his high mental abilities.

I don't want to make it sound like idol worship or anything, but a factual assessment of his character traits indicates he could well have been a great thinker and politician after his football and military career, maybe in the patheon of our greatest Congresspeople or he even could have won a popular for President 30 years from now had he taken that track.

Another reason that Tillman "had to go" according to the sick way Cheney thinks, to eliminate the problem before it became a bigger problem.

But they keep underestimating the determination of the American People, not to mention Pat's family and friends.

May the truth come out, and those responsible be found and punished, all the way up the chain of command.

RIP, Pat Tillman. :patriot: True patriot and perhaps a very great man but we will never know for he was cut down by the monsters and tyrants who have stolen our nation and will do ANYTHING to keep it.

12. Remember the thugs in a truck who ran over

the memorial crosses at Camp Casey?

They were stopped because some of those crosses - each bearing the name of a member of a US military member who had died in Iraq- punctured their tires.

A message from beyond?

Who knows but Tillman's story makes me remember that...

13. I will echo tom_paine...

from everything I've read and heard about Pat Tillman, he was certainly one in a million...maybe 10 or 100 million. On top of being, it appears, conscious and enlightened as well as mentally and physically gifted, there are not too many people who would turn down millions-of-dollars to spend possibly years fighting in the high deserts and mountains of Afghanistan with every possibility of being maimed for life or killed. Obviously his principles were more important to him than wealth...absolute polar opposite to the chicken hawks squatting in the WH.

Will this be the final straw that brings down Buschco? I have my doubts, but something that is different about the Tillman story is that it's a human story: just about everyone has heard of him and the story surrounding his death and the subsequent cover-up can be easily understood by just about anyone. You can't really say that about the issues surrounding warrantless wiretapping (TIA) or the USA firings or stolen elections or the Plame outing, etc., etc., all of which take an appreciable amount of self-study to fully comprehend. The tragic Tillman story, however, strikes right at the heart of the human experience.

14. The search for the Magic Bullet...again.

Once again, with every outrage, someone here looks for the Magic Bullet that will end the Bush Family Evil Empire and restore peace, freedom and prosperity to America. A while ago it was the Ashcroft hospital-room torture incident. Now it's the questionable death of Pat Tillman.

Will you people please grow up?

Nothing will take the place of a courageous Democratic Presidential candidate...which we haven't seen yet (no, not even Gore, who still refuses to run), who will gather people to the cause and make all that Republican sloganeering disappear.

So, sorry, folks. Pat Tillman died without becoming the Magic Bullet.
