"canonization of one of its imperial saints"

Come on


mainstream media:

"Throughout his long life, George Bush was admired as a man of decency, modesty, and uncommon achievement."

"George Herbert Walker Bush today is being remembered as a great man and as a gentle soul."

Some of the extensive documentary record which discredits this hagiography is succinctly laid out in the video.

so what do you mean, "Come on"?

The Intercept is fucking trash.

Since GWHB's death, The Intercept has repeatedly pushed this idea that the US is responsible for Saddam Hussein's 1990 invasion of Kuwait because then US Ambassador to Iraq April Glaspie said the US had "no opinion" on an ongoing (at that point, nonviolent) dispute between Iraq and Kuwait over a variety of issues including the border and Kuwait's level of oil production. They pushed this idea in the full length version of The Intercepted Podcast, on the Deconstructed podcast, and also in their written articles. This is a nonsense argument, and one pushed by folks who basically blame the US on every bad thing in the world. When she said that, she was referring to a diplomatic dispute between the two countries, she was not saying the US had no opinion on an invasion, which the US did not predict at the time was actually something Saddam was considering. And yet, The Intercept has blamed it all on the US that Saddam decided to invade and annex another UN member state.

Another thing that invalidates this theory is that Saddam had plenty of time to pull out of Kuwait once he found out that the entire rest of the world was outraged and in complete opposition to the idea. Did he pull out? No, he kept his troops there until they were forced out by an international military coalition.

I used to be a Jeremy Scahill fan, but over the last few years it has become evident that he is a dishonest actor. The same goes for the entire staff of The Intercept (maybe with a few exceptions).

What do you want the media to say? Rip apart a dead man on his funeral?

The guy's a former president and deserves a state funeral. Sure he did some bad things. The time to talk about those bad things was the 1992 election

And ironically, none of those "bad things" were actually major issues during the campaign. The public was fine with it. What was a major issue? The fact that he raised taxes after promising not to.

LOL at the idea that any of this is "honestly acknowledging" anything. Let's be honest, holding a radical Marxist view in which America is by default the aggressor and the reason behind every negative outcome on the planet is not an honest worldview from which to interpret global politics. You will conclude that it's America's fault for everything.

Weird how I didn't see you guys posting this shit before he died. Almost as if you....didn't care or it wasn't edgy enough.

Does the fact that other presidents are and were killers exonerate 41 in your mind?


Are you saying that all American presidents were imperialist killers? Because that just proves my earlier point. Someone who operates from a radical Marxist worldview where any American is a priori an imperialist and/or imperialist killer cannot be trusted to have an honest interpretation of Bush. Because they've already started with that position in mind.

You'd probably have to go back to at least Truman before finding one who wasn't. What's the point of your question?


They would have to go back before Truman, as he nuked Japan, got the US involved in the Korean War, and started the CIA, among other things. Some might not even allow FDR to be named because they will point to German, Japanese, and Italian civilians killed in Allied air raids while FDR was still alive.

For the record, I think it's BS to call these people war criminals, but I've spent enough time listening to far-lefties that I know their talking points pretty well.
