The BUSHES-Father & Sons - Are & Have Been World Terrorists

When the Terrorists Were 'Our Guys'

By Robert Parry (A Special Report)
February 22, 2008


In 1976, when George H.W. Bush was CIA director, the U.S. government tolerated right-wing terrorist cells inside the United States and mostly looked the other way when these killers topped even Palestinian terrorists in spilling blood, including a lethal car bombing in Washington, D.C., according to newly obtained internal government documents.

.............

In 1998, when Pinochet was detained in Great Britain on an extradition request from Spanish Judge Baltasar Garzon, who was pursuing Pinochet for killing Spanish citizens, George H.W. Bush was one of the world leaders who rallied to Pinochet’s defense.

Bush called the case against Pinochet “a travesty of justice” and demanded that Pinochet be sent home to Chile “as soon as possible,” which the British courts did.

...

The younger George Bush – and his brother Florida Gov. Jeb Bush – also helped out in protecting the old Cuban terrorists who were implicated in the Cubana Airline bombing, Orlando Bosch and Luis Posada Carriles. Both have been allowed to live out their golden years in the relative safety and comfort of the United States.

As for Pinochet, the aging general never had to face justice for his acts of international terrorism or for his domestic human rights crimes. Pinochet died of a heart attack on Dec. 10, 2006, at the age of 91.

.................

After the 9/11 terror attacks in 2001, the U.S. government presented itself as the innocent victim of international terrorism with a moral right not only to pursue the “bad guys” across the globe but to subject some captives to torture, to lock others up indefinitely without trial, and to launch attacks that have killed many thousands of innocents.

In the years that have followed, there were few recollections of the days under the current president’s father when the bloodiest terrorists were “our guys.”

2. If I ever hear different from those I know from El Salvador, Columbia, Honduras or Nicaragua...
I'll get right back to you. To date, the BFEE's reputation as the creators and sponsors of international terrorism is intact.

And do take note the Bushes have never really been fond of the Venezuelan government. They are not real fond of any government that has ever stood up to them.

In today's world and today's war on terror, it is not just who you know but who you kill that makes the difference between being a patriot and a terrorist. Especially when you're a friend of the Bushes. Most of the friends of the Bushes appear to be enemies of the American people.

4. Finally getting some airtime!
We've spent the last 60 years dismantling the free world in our attempt to control everything and everyone on our side of the iron curtain. People think the Bush Administration are above censure because of 9/11...when they were the ones who allowed it to happen!

Still, no one likes the truth- it's ugly and it makes us feel uncomfortable.

6. From first hand experience
I have no doubt that GHW Bush would have someone killed that was a threat to his freedom. Junior is an uncontrolled sociopath but poppy is even more dangerous because he hides his tracks by eliminating people that might get off the reservation.

The contractors doing the dirty work for this administration better watch their backs. There was a group like them during Viet Nam called the JEWELERS because they worked on the family jewels. By the early eighties they were all dead.
