Anti-American Priorities

President Bush today met with a dozen Iraqi's who said they were beaten, abused, imprisoned and lost loved ones due to the brutality of Saddam Hussein. Tragic stories all, they surely were representative of events no human being should endure.

That being said, Bush reportedly met with them for over an hour! The thirteen former Secretaries of State and Defense who he summoned to the White House to obtain their “counsel and advice” about Iraq only got five minutes. How many hours do the loved ones of our dead soldiers get? How many hours have the victims of Hurricane Katrina gotten? How many hours do America's seniors who can't get prescription drugs get?

With this Bush cabal, one needs only to believe the opposite of what they say in order to divine fact from fiction. 'The White House denied that the meeting was meant to deflect criticism of the administration in an annual report from Human Rights Watch issued Wednesday.' We now know why the meeting was held.

Bush also said the following: "One of the interesting moments will come here this year when Saddam Hussein's trial is brought forth for the world to see, to see the butcherer, the person who brutalized many people or ordered the brutality of many people here at this table, get his due justice under rule of law." That statement is also an omen of his future.
