Radio interview here with Seymour Hersh about his New Yorker revelations that the US and Saudis are funding al Qaeda, the group that attacked the US on 9/11, as a supposed check on Iran, which the US foolishly empowered by invading Iraq in '03. The Sunni jihadis are already setting up shop in Lebanon to combat Hezbollah. Elliott Abrams, the same person who brought you "selling arms to the Iranians to fund the Nicaraguan contras" in the '80s, is behind this cynical mess of a policy. And President Cheney, of course. Will Congress stop the treachery?
Abrams back in the inner circle is one of the awful things about Bush the elder's broad set of pardons at the end of his term. These guys should have been banned for life from government. The SEC can ban people from the financial industry; why can we do that for bad actors in government?
Another reason I laugh lustily when old man Bush breaks down and cries like a baby about the loss of his "legacy."
