[CTRL] The Worst US President (Part I)
-Caveat Lector- (The worst President in US History is a tough call. FDR obviously runs a close second - and Bush II clearly is going to give both a run for the money) flw WILSON'S DESTINY, Part I by Byron King At any given time in the life of a nation, events and circumstances offer its leader the opportunity to articulate and clarify key ideas that define its substance and govern its destiny. Woodrow Wilson (b.1856, d.1924) was such a figure, on both a national and international scale. During his two terms as President of the United States, Wilson inalterably changed the face of not just the United States, but of the world. The community of nations of today represents a world still spinning on a Wilsonian axis. When Wilson took office in March of 1913, the U.S. was a gold-standard nation, developing inwardly and filling its own continent with people, industry and capital. Since Colonial times, U.S. development had focused on westward expansion across the continent. The U.S. in 1913 had few historical precedents or cultural proclivities for international adventurism, and in fact was experiencing a bad case of indigestion of the modest fruits of the Spanish American War, a sore spot with the voters. When Wilson left office in 1921, he had involved the nation in Europe's Great War, and was in no small personal measure attempting to dictate the world's peace. Under Wilson's stewardship, the federal government was large and getting larger, the U.S. currency was beginning a long slide into debasement, and no American could even buy a legal drink at a bar. No one can truly understand the issues of the modern era without knowledge of the man who mid-wifed it into existence. It is not too much to say that the 20th Century was Wilson's Century, and that we live in Wilson's World. Woodrow Wilson was the son of a preacher, born and raised in Virginia, and certainly a Son of the South. He pursued a career as an academic, making a name for himself as an Anglophile scholar of government theory. Wilson taught at several schools, Pennsylvania's Bryn Mawr College and Connecticut's Wesleyan University among them, eventually taking a position at Princeton, in New Jersey. He rose through the ranks of college teaching and academic politics to serve as president of Princeton University between 1902 and 1910. Somewhat late in his career, at age 53, Wilson leveraged his prestigious socio-academic position at Princeton into a very short tenure as Governor of New Jersey (1911-1912). Then, being the top political figure in an important state, Wilson toured the country, and ran for and won the U.S. Presidency in 1912. The election of 1912 was a close, three-way race, with about 43% of the votes cast for Wilson. The race was, in reality, Wilson's to lose because it was marked by a seismic fault line in the Republican Party. But while many viewed the election as a reflection of internecine Republican politics, Wilson saw the election results in a somewhat different light. He is quoted as having told a key supporter, after the ballots were counted, Remember that God ordained that I should be the next president of the United States. Neither you nor any other mortal or mortals could have prevented that. Certainly, that should have settled things. Historian Paul Johnson has described Wilson as having ...A self-regarding arrogance and smugness, masquerading as righteousness, which was always there and which grew with the exercise of power. After all, how could one argue with a man ordained by no less than God to hold the nation's executive power? Historian Robert Nisbet wrote that Wilson was, if not ordained by God to lead the nation, an ardent prophet of the state, the state indeed as it was known to European scholars and statesmen...(Wilson) preached it... Thus, according to Nisbet, from Wilson has come the politicization, the centralization, and the commitment to bureaucracy of American society during the 20th Century. Historian Donald Miller has concluded that Wilson intended from his first day in office to transform America as well as the other nations. From a domestic and economic standpoint, as with his foreign policy, (Wilson) wanted to expand the power of government to effect a revolution in society. He sought to increase both the size and scope of government. He said that he wanted to put government 'at the service of humanity.' In March of 1913, when Wilson took his oath of office, the nation, if not humanity at large, was in the process of handing him the necessary tools that he would soon be using. Wilson's ambitious political goals, refined during his hard years of labor in the academic library stacks and teaching in the sweat mills of Princeton, could not have been accomplished without key changes in the power system defined by the U.S. Constitution. The Sixteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, giving Congress the power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, had been passed by

Officials said the recommendations were presented in a study from the Washington-based Rand Corporation to the Defense Policy Board. The board was established by the Pentagon to provide advice on U.S. defense and military policy. A Pentagon source said the briefing represented what he termed forward thinking in dealing with Saudi Arabia amid any U.S.-led war against Iraq, Middle East Newsline reported. The briefing took place on July 10 and for the first time reviewed the deteriorating U.S. relations with Saudi Arabia. Officials said the board was warned that the Saudi royal family has grown dependent on Islamic insurgency groups linked to Al Qaida and spends billions of dollars in supporting anti-Western religious activities throughout the world. Pentagon spokesman Victoria Clarke confirmed that the Defense Policy Board was briefed on U.S. relations with Saudi Arabia. But Ms. Clarke, in a written statement, said the views expressed at the meeting did not reflect the Pentagon. Neither the presentations nor the Defense Policy Board members' comments reflect the official views of the Department of Defense, the Pentagon statement on late Monday said. Saudi Arabia is a long-standing friend and ally of the United States. The Saudis cooperate fully in the global war on terrorism and have the department's and the administration's deep appreciation. On Tuesday, the Washington Post quoted the Rand report as urging the Bush administration to present Saudi Arabia with an ultimatum to end its support for Islamic insurgency groups. The Rand report, drafted by Rand analyst Laurent Murawiec, a former adviser to the French Defense Ministry, termed Riyad as the most dangerous opponent in the Middle East and recommended that the United States be prepared to seize Saudi oil fields and freeze Saudi assets in the United States. The Saudis are active at every level of the terror chain, from planners to financiers, from cadre to foot-soldier, from ideologist to cheerleader, the Rand briefing was quoted as saying. Saudi Arabia supports our enemies and attacks our allies. The source said U.S. intelligence agencies have been increasingly dismayed by reports that Riyad is cooperating militarily with Iran and Iraq and might have relayed information on U.S. troop movement in the kingdom. The Pentagon advisory board contains such members as former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, former Vice President Dan Quayle; former defense secretaries James Schlesinger and Harold Brown. The Post said Kissinger expressed heated objections to the recommendations in the Rand report, arguing that Washington can persuade Riyad to change its policies without the use of force.

It blasts earsplitting noise in a directed beam. The equipment, called a Long Range Acoustic Device, has been used on some U.S. ships. Now the Army and Marine Corps have added the auditory barrage dispenser to their arms ensembles. The developer of the device, American Technology Corp. of San Diego, recently got a $1.1 million contract from the Marine Corps to buy the gadget for units deployed to Iraq. The Army also sent the devices to Iraq to test on vehicles. The 45-pound, dish-shaped device belongs to a developing arsenal of technologies intended not to kill but to deter. Another such weapon, expected to be tested in the field soon, is the Active Denial System. It seeks to repel enemies with a painful energy beam. The sound devices can broadcast sound files containing warning messages. They also can be used with electronic translating devices for what amounts to narrowcasting. The sonic weapon can direct a high-pitched, piercing tone. Carl Gruenler of American Technology said the shrill tone could be as loud as about 150 decibels; smoke detectors are in the 80- to 90-decibel range.

David Kay, with whom the Bush administration placed its hopes of finding Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction, sent a startling E-mail to CIA Director George Tenet in early July 2003. I wrote that it looks as though they did not produce weapons, Kay reveals in an interview with the new Vanity Fair. Prober: I knew in days U.S. 'wrong' on WMD By JAMES GORDON MEEK DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU It wasn't until late January this year that Kay told the Senate Armed Services Committee that we were almost all wrong on Iraq. Kay told Vanity Fair, in its 22,000-word opus, The Path to War, that he was actually ready to come home in mid-December. Tenet said no. If you resign now, it will appear that we don't know what we're doing and the wheels are coming off, he said Tenet told him. So I said, 'Fine, I'll wait.' Vanity Fair's look at the war in Iraq portrays Vice President Cheney as among the lead advocates for war. The veep made at least 10 trips to the CIA's Langley, Va., headquarters, said Richard Kerr, a retired CIA official who did an internal review of prewar intelligence. There was a lot of pressure, no question, Kerr said. The magazine also bolstered the contention from some critics that President Bush was obsessed with Saddam. A former British ambassador recounts a dinner meeting Bush had with Prime Minister Tony Blair on Sept. 20, 2001 - nine days after the terror attacks on America - where Bush pressed for an attack on Iraq. The magazine also details extraordinary pressure on Secretary of State Powell to tie Saddam to the 9/11 attacks. Powell, who on Friday conceded the intelligence in his UN speech making the case for war in Iraq was faulty, refused.

DeFRANK DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU CHIEF WASHINGTON - A new book on the Bush political dynasty claims former President George H.W. Bush opposed last year's invasion of Iraq. In The Bushes: Portrait of a Dynasty, Peter and Rochelle Schweizer cite as evidence a summer 2002 interview in which the older Bush's sister said her brother had expressed his anguish about the administration's preparations for war. But do they have an exit strategy? the former President is quoted as worrying. Although he never went public with them, the authors assert, the President's own father shared many of [the] concerns of Brent Scowcroft, his national security adviser and a leading war opponent. Top Bush aide Jean Becker denied the allegations yesterday. From the very first day, President Bush 41 unequivocally supported the President on the war in Iraq, she said. He had absolutely no reservations of any kind. Peter Schweizer is a research fellow at Stanford University's conservative Hoover Institution and authored Reagan's War. The book pries open the door slightly on one of the Bush clan's most closely held secrets: the former President's private qualms about portions of his son's Iraq policy. He agrees with the policy goals but not with all of the execution, a close friend told the Daily News. The older Bush has maintained strict public silence about possible differences, and only last week hammered elites and intellectuals on the campaign trail for criticizing the war. Yet close friends and associates said the older Bush, while fiercely proud and protective of his son, nevertheless harbors concerns about the war and its aftermath. These sources told The News that aside from his exit-strategy fears of a prolonged, bloody conflict, the ex-President is troubled that the war fractured the international coalition he painstakingly assembled to expel deposed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein from Kuwait in 1991. One close associate said the older Bush feels Vice President Cheney and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld may have pushed President Bush too hard for a preemptive strike. In his 1998 diplomatic memoir, the former President offered this impassioned defense of his controversial decision not to attack Baghdad and topple Saddam in 1991: Trying to eliminate Saddam ... would have incurred incalculable human and political costs. ... Had we gone the invasion route, the United States could conceivably still be an occupying power in a bitterly hostile land. One well-placed Bush colleague said the older Bush recently acknowledged, I'm having trouble with my boy, referring to Iraq.

Finch and Why is He Investigating VOA Employees? February 25, 2004 Dateline: Washington, 02/25/04. Only six months after the Union and the Agency settled a Free Speech grievance the Agency is investigating Voice of America employees for what appears to be a free speech issue. It has been reported to the Union that the Agency has hired a contractor, Alfred J. Finch, for the sole purpose of finding out who spoke with an Egyptian reporter. Who hired Mr. Finch is unclear. Was he hired competitively is another question. An article appeared in an Egyptian Newspaper, El-Osboa, that Radio Sawa and Al-Hurrah poobahs apparently found offensive. It is believed that these officials feel that someone in the Agency, and they seem to be concentrating on ex-VOA Arabic Service employees, may have spoken with the author of the article. These employees have been subjected to interrogations that certainly seem to border on harassment. AFGE Local 1812 reminds all bargaining unit employees that they have the right to have a Union representative present during any investigatory meeting. They should refuse to meet with any investigator unless a Union representative is present. Isn't the Voice of America supposed to be an example to the world of what freedom of speech is all about?

His two goals are to discredit Bush (which isn't that hard to do with the truth) and exonerate the Clinton administration which in order to do he has to lie. This, of course, is a defense of his own actions since he was Clinton's top anti-terrorism guru. When Clarke talks about the intensified anti-terror Clinton program he fails to mention that it was directed at "domestic" terrorists, e.g "militias", Ruby Ridge, Waco to the exclusion of middle eastern Islamic terrorists. Both the Clinton and Bush regimes went to extraordinary efforts to shield Saudi Arabia from its involvement in funding terrorism. When John O'Neill (who had been tracking bin Laden since the 1993 WTCFBI/ al Quaeda bombing) started zeroing in on Saudi involvement in the USS Cole bombing in Yemen, Clarke, who was O'Neill's superior and sat on the National Security Council and had been a staunch supporter of O'Neill's pursuit of bin Laden, abandoned O'Neill and left him twisting in the wind. Clarke's emphasis on bin Laden to the exclusion of Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Syria,Iran and other supporters of Islamic terrorism was in line with the CFR's 1998 dictum that the Taliban had to go because of its intransigence in negotiations (involving Enron) over the gas and oil pipelines. (I'm sure the Taliban's shutting down of the opium and heroin trade also had something to do with it although not spelled out in the CFR piece laying out the policy), which incidentally was writtenat James Baker's think tank at Rice University. The Clinton shift to "domestic" terrorism as it defined it shoved to one side 40 boxes of information from interrogations and trial records of the 1993 WTC bombing which would have spelled out the plans of Ramzi Yousef, the alleged mastermind of the WTC bombing as well as the planner behind Bojinka, the 1995 plan uncovered by Philippine authorities which included hijacking US commercial airplanes and flying them into the Pentagon, WTC and Sears tower among other targets. Clarke's apology to the families of the WTC victims was appropriate if for no other reason. Clarke also participated in formulating the FBI's false explanation of the shootdown of TWA 800. As partisan as Salon is, it is understandable why they would spread Clarke's disinformation. But LaRouche's EIR has some very knowledgeable people in it and they should not have allowed further dissemination without at least interjecting some editorial comment about Clarke's obvious falsehoods.

Many of these mercenaries are veterans of deposed repressive regimes in Chile, South Africa, and elsewhere, with a general "black ops" background that sometimes include experience training "death squads." In other words, Iraq IS Bush's Vietnam and even has its own "Phoenix Program." Small wonder, then, that with its "secret private army" of mercenaries, US occupation forces --accused by Iraqis of thousands of unreported civilian deaths-- are unpopular. Sorrows of Empire Mercenaries and Occupiers By C.G. ESTABROOK April 6, 2004 CounterPunch The killing and mutilation of four Americans in Iraq were played to shock television audiences at home -- "too terrible to show." The attack added four more to the more than 50,000 deaths in Iraq that we're responsible for during the Bush administration. (The Clinton administration was responsible for many more.) American officials replied with immediate threats of revenge attacks, and have now sealed off Fallujah. Apparently this is what the White House meant when it "vowed [according to the New York Times] that the United States would finish its peacekeeping mission in Iraq despite the grisly attacks on civilian contractors." The Republican administration's putative opponents immediately agreed: Democratic presidential candidate Kerry said that we are "united in our resolve that these enemies will not prevail"; Democratic House leader Pelosi said, "We're not going to run out of town"; and "maverick" Senator McCain, asked whether he could see the United States withdrawing from Iraq, replied, "I cannot." These "contractors," the Times explained elsewhere, were from Blackwater USA, "a private military firm that provides an array of services once performed solely by military personnel. The company trains soldiers in counterterrorism and urban warfare. It also provides the American government with [mercenaries]: former Green Berets, Army Rangers and Navy Seals. In February it started training former Chilean commandos -- some of whom served under the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet -- for future service in Iraq." "Blackwater has about 400 ... armed commandos" in Iraq, said the Washington Post: it, not the military, guards US proconsul L. Paul Bremer. Blackwater "has contracts as well with the departments of Defense, State and Transportation. The company also did work in Afghanistan ... Blackwater is in Moyock, N.C., just across the Virginia border, and U.S. law enforcement and military personnel frequently use its 6,000-acre site for weapons training ... [it was also] paid $13 million between April 2002 and June 2003 for security training of Navy personnel. The firm's president and training director, and Blackwater Security Consulting's director, are veteran Navy SEALs. The name Blackwater alludes to covert missions undertaken by elite divers at night." The men killed in Fallujah were in short American mercenaries, being paid $1,000 a day -- one wonders, for what? Were their "contracts" of the Mafia sort? Were they part of an American death squad, contributing to the pacification of Iraq as the American Phoenix program once in did in Vietnam, by arranging literally tens of thousands of mob-style hits? There is evidence that the killing of these mercenaries was not random, and that it was done in retaliation for the American-sponsored assassination of the head of Hamas (which killed eight people and wounded twenty-four others),
