How much blood is on the hands of the Bush Family?

[heidiho]

Let's begin with selling WMD's to Saddam in the 80's (under Reagan-Bush) which were used to kill Iranians during the Iran-Iraq war.

The Persian Gulf War (which we are still not sure what the real story is and may never know) - how many Kuwaitis, Iraqis and US soldiers were killed and wounded.

The gassing of the Kurds and others in Iraq - presumably because George H. W. Bush asked the Kurds and others to try to oust Saddam and thousands got gassed with our very own US made chemical weapons.
ARen't those mass graves in Iraq the result of Bush I?

Iraqis starved and sick because of sanctions (allright the Bushes don't have ALL of the blame there but still)
And the illegal and immoral and WRONG attack and invasion of Iraq in March with thousands of Iraqi civilians dead, 500 plus Americans dead and countless others injured.

Is history going to call these times the "Bush Family Holocaust?"

3. The drug holocaust can be laid at GHWB's doorstep.

The crack cocaine explosion is directly attributed to Bush's Iran/Contra protected drug trade. How many lives, both in the US and in Latin America, have been devastated and lost on account of that?

And let's not forget the unjustified invasion of Panama, which was also, in no small part, linked to Bush's drug and money-laundering concerns.

Sounds crazy, I know, because it's buried history. But it's true.

4. Go WAY back...

According to Tarpley (www.tarpley.net/bushb.htm)

"...In the spring of 1918, Prescott's father, Samuel P. Bush, became chief of the Ordnance, Small Arms and Ammunition Section of the War Industries Board...The senior Bush took national responsibility for government assistance to and relations with Remington and other weapons companies."

"Merchants of Death" is what they later called men like Bush and the companies they oversaw.

Fast forward a few years...
"...On Oct. 20, 1942, the U.S. government ordered the seizure of Nazi German banking operations in New York City which were being conducted by Prescott Bush.

Under the Trading with the Enemy Act, the government took over the Union Banking Corporation, in which Bush was a director. The U.S. Alien Property Custodian seized Union Banking Corp.'s stock shares, all of which were owned by Prescott Bush, E. Roland `` Bunny '' Harriman, three Nazi executives, and two other associates of Bush..."

So, between "helping" Remmington Arms do business with the US Government and managing Hilter's money, to the CIA-run Central/South America drug operations, Iran-Countra, and GWI and II, there's an OCEAN of blood on the Bush family hands.

5. So much blood calls for a kick. n/t

6. Really impossible to tell. They have been involved in selling arms for

every war that occurred in the twentieth century. All of that blood is on their hands. Since Prescott was financing the company that made the steel for the tanks and armaments used by the Nazis to kill our relatives, all that blood is on their hands. Then there are the secret involvements that we know nothing about...yet.
