Bush End Game '07-'08

Exaggerating al-Qaeda's Threat
A staple of the Bush administration's "war on terror" has been to wildly exaggerate the global threat posed by al-Qaeda all the better to frighten the American people into supporting whatever measures George W. Bush demands. In this guest essay, Ivan Eland examines some fear-mongering by the Homeland Security chief. April 25, 2007

Hypocrisy: Thy Name Is Bush
George W. Bush claims that high moral principles guide his "war on terror" as he brings to justice those who kill innocent civilians to advance a political cause. But the only real consistency to Bush's policy is the hypocrisy.A Special Report. April 21, 2007


Explaining Cheney's Iraq War Smirk
Though the American people say they don't want an indefinite war in Iraq, Vice President Dick Cheney oozes confidence in his prediction that the Democrats will surrender to the White House demand for a funding bill that is stripped of a withdrawal timetable. In this guest essay, former CIA analyst Ray McGovern examines why Sen. Carl Levin, D-Michigan, so willingly raised the white flag. April 24, 2007


Gonzales & the 'Mayberry Machiavellis'
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales saw nothing unusual about White House complaints last fall that U.S. Attorneys weren't pushing out "voter fraud" indictments of Democrats fast enough. Nor did he resist firing some of those prosecutors a month after Republicans lost the Congress. April 20, 2007


Iraq Disaster May Cool War Fever
It is difficult to find any silver lining in the very dark cloud over George W. Bush's Iraq War. In this guest essay, however, Ivan Eland suggests that one positive consequence might be a public revulsion the next time a trigger-happy leader points the country toward war. April 19, 2007
