NOT ALL MUSLIMS ARE WORTHY OF FEAR
NOT ALL PEOPLE WITH THE NAME HUSSEIN ARE BAD
SEE King Hussein of Jordan
THE USA WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR SADDAM HUSSEIN BEING IN POWER
The following text is from www.hartford-hwp.com
The relationship between the CIA and Saddam Hussein is a long one. In 1963, the Americans plotted with the Ba'ath against Abdel Karim Kassem, a man who, in the words of the writer Said Aburish, retains more of the affection of the Iraqi people than any leader this century.
The CIA supplied lists for the Ba'ath to kill leftists and communists, and Washington flew arms to Kirkuk to use against the Kurds.
In Aburish's biography of the Iraqi leader, the author quotes many anti-Saddam Iraqis including Ahmad Chalabi, leader of the INC on CIA cooperation with the second Ba'ath coup in 1968. Later, in the 1980s, the United States and Britain helped arm Saddam in his confrontation with Iran only to turn against him over the 1990 Kuwait crisis. When in 1991 the Iraqi people rose against Saddam, the United States was fearful that change would put its majority Shi'ites and thus Iran in power, and US forces stood by as the Republican Guard crushed the rebellion. The CIA then worked on sponsoring a coup in Baghdad, a strategy that crumbled in 1996 when Iraqi intelligence infiltrated a conspiracy led by the ex-Ba'athist Iyad Alawi. Having rounded up hundreds of officers, the mukhabarat sent a message to the CIA team in Amman: We have arrested all your people. You might as well pack up and go home.
The CIA's half-hearted support for the INC also ended in 1996, when Saddam exploited Kurdish in-fighting to crush an INC presence in the Kurdish-controlled zone in the north. As Iraqi tanks moved in, the CIA fled and left the INC people to their fate. Washington washed its hands of the affair, and Chalabi noted that CIA officials are not known for their veracity.

The McCain-Palin supporters are claiming that Barack Obama will ruin the USA. They repeatedly say he is muslim, which is not true. Their anger is the kind that comes from rage. Rage is not rational. They are angry, but Barack Obama is not the source of their anger. It is transference and from past fears
Transference is a phenomenon characterized by unconscious redirection of feelings for one person to another...a reproduction of emotions relating to repressed experiences, especially of childhood, and the substitution of another person ... for the original object of the repressed impulses.
* "Franklin D. Roosevelt had campaigned against Herbert Hoover in the 1932 presidential election...his first inaugural address took on an unusually solemn, religious quality. And for good reason—by 1933 the depression had reached its depth.
Roosevelt’s first inaugural address outlined in broad terms how he hoped to govern and reminded Americans that the nation’s “common difficulties” concerned “only material things."

Palin abused power, reports finds
By Michael Rovito/FrontiersmanPublished on Friday, October 10, 2008 4:26 PM AKDT
ANCHORAGE -- The long awaited Troopergate report says Gov. Sarah Palin abused her power by violating an Alaska Statute of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act.
"The legislature reaffirms that each public officer holds office as a public trust, and any effort to benefit a personal or financial interest through official action is a violation of that trust," the report says.
Independent investigator Steven Branchflower says in the report he feels former Public Safety Commisioner Walt Monegan's refusal to fire trooper Mike Wooten was not the sole reason Palin fired him, but likely contributed.
Branchflower does say that Palin has the authority to fire Monegan.
The report that was released is only what's being made available to the public. Before the report became public Sen. Kim Elton said some parts of the report are confidential because they deal with personnel matters.
The Legislative Council convened at 9 a.m. this morning at the Legislative Information Office downtown. The council then went into executive session to discuss the Troopergate investigation report's findings.
A group of pro-Sarah Palin protestors greeted legislators as they filed into the office this morning. David Boyle, who admitted to working for the McCain-Palin campaign, called the Troopergate investigation a "kangaroo circus" run by Sen. Hollis French.
"I'm here to support a wonderful governor," Boyle said.
The pro-Palin protestors moved outside during executive session and swelled to about 20 people. By 11:30 a.m., the protestors had left.
The McCain campaign yesterday released its own report, a day before the Legislature's report was scheduled to come out, clearing Palin of any wrongdoing.
"The Palins make no apologies for wanting to protect their family and wanting to bring attention to the injustice of a violent trooper keeping his badge and abusing the workers' compensation system," the McCain report's conclusion says..
Media from seemingly all over the world, including from the BBC and an Asian outlet, are covering the meeting along with national media and local outlets.
The Frontiersman will update this story as more occurs.

- Extremists Mark Chryson and Steve Stoll helped launch Palin's political career in Alaska, and in return had influence over policy. "Her door was open," says Chryson -- and still is.
