>>>>When did the Mujahadeen wage war on US interests?
- 1979 Mujahadeen took the U.S. Embassy in Tehran with 62 US Hostages
- 1983 Mujahadeen bombed the U.S. Embassy in Beirut
- 1983 Mujahadeen killed the M.E. CIA Chief
- 1983 Mujahadeen drove a truck of explosives into a US Marine barrack killing 241 of our soldiers
- 1983 Mujahadeen attacked the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait
- 1983 Mujahadeen attacked Raytheon employees, an American company
- 1984 Mujahadeen kidnapped our CIA Chief, Bill Buckley
- 1984 thru 1985, airlines and cruiselines were hijacked with American passengers singled out for execution
That shows me that the Mujahadeen were enemies of the States.
I'm still waiting for you show me something that says 'The Bush I Admnistration had said to turn off the spigot'?
But you saying 'Did he really not know that the congress was end-running around him on the Mujahadeen?' tells me he never said that statement or anything remotely resembling it.
Can you tell me why Murtha got caught in AbScam as well as being involved with arming militant Islamists?
I submit Bush did know that the congress was end-running around him on the Mujahadeen. That is what created the need for AbScam.
"I'm still waiting for you show me something that says 'The Bush I Admnistration had said to turn off the spigot'?"
See my second to last post - "Wilson was surprised that spring to hear that the [BUSH I] administration was not putting in a request for more money. [was turning off the spigot] There had been meetings in Wilson's office and talks with Judge William Webster, the new director of Central Intelligence, about the coming year's budget, but the Agency was no longer of a single mind. The Bush administration, however, wanted out of this game [Wanted to Turn Off the Spigot] -- so the CIA's seventh floor had no choice but to reflect the opinion of their masters in the White House. "
Are all those "Mujahadeen" that you listed Afgani Mujahadeen that were fighting the Soviets?
If so you are right about Murtha being a tratior. But then so was the Reagan administration since it helped them fight the Soviets too. I can't buy that. The Afgani Mujahadeen that Murtha aided did not capture the US hostages Iran.
How bad was Murtha involved in Abscam? I didn't see him listed as "convicted" on your link, unlike the others.
This Abscam thing really does stink though. Probably Murtha was dirty on it and should have been run out of the House. But that still doesn't make him a traitor.
I saw murtha tonight on Fox being grilled by Kasich.
Kasich laid it right on him - why do you want to help Zarkawi? He just keeps saying the Iraqis are ready to take care of themselves, when it's obvious they're not. He wants our troops off to Kuwait and Okinawa.
What is his motivation?
