Impeach
George Bush and Dick Cheney to prevent Wider War in the Middle East
and Bring U.S. Forces Home from Iraq with Professor Francis Boyle
According to a Newsweek poll more than half the country, 58%, now say
they wish the Bush presidency were simply over. Much of the reason for
their dismay is the war in Iraq. Yet, leading Democrats have been resisting
calls from peace groups and progressive Democrats to issue a resolution
to impeach Bush and Cheney.
Professor Francis A. Boyle joins us for the half hour. He is a leading
American professor, practitioner and advocate of international law and
exactly four years ago on January 17th his draft impeachment resolution
against George W. Bush appeared in Counterpunch.
Professor Boyle’s latest piece on impeaching the President and
Vice President is dated January 20th 2007. His title is, ‘Immediate
Impeachment: Preventing the Guns of August in Eurasia.’ You can
find it online at globalresearch.ca
Prior to the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 the White House failed to heed
warnings from military and intelligence analysts about possible repercussions
from the violent overthrow of Saddam Hussein. Now it seems the U.S.
is again failing to heed warnings about the potential risks of an attack
on Iran. I asked Professor Boyle his view on why the present administration
ignores such warnings:
Professor Francis A. Boyle: Well you have to understand the Neo-conservative
mentality. I went to the University of Chicago with these people, (Paul)
Wolfowitz and all the rest of them, and I went through the same program,
the Department of Political Science run by the Neocon founder Leo Strauss.
His mentor in Germany before he came to the United States was Karl Schmidt
who went on to become the most notorious Nazi law professor of that
benighted era who tried to justify in legal terms every hideous atrocity
the Nazis inflicted on anyone.
So the Neocons had been thoroughly brainwashed I would say, as they
attempted to do to me at the University of Chicago, in Schmidt, and
Strauss, and Nietzsche and Machiavelli. These are the people we are
dealing with. They are extremely dangerous, very bright, cunning and
ruthless, and they are really out to dominate and control the two thirds
of the world’s hydrocarbon resources in Eurasia. –An objective
that Zbigniew Brzezinski identified a while ago in his book, The Grand
Chess Board.
I also went through the same PHD program at Harvard in political science
that produced (Henry) Kissinger, Brzezinski, Huntington, and the rest
of these people. They gave me Kissinger’s old office at the Center
for International Affairs. In fact, Kissinger and I had the same international
relations teacher, Hans Morganthau, and when I was 21 years old Morganthau
offered to call up Kissinger at the White House and get me a job on
his National Security Council which of course I declined to do.
So we simply cannot underestimate at all what these people are up to.
For example, the Deputy National Security Advisor, Elliott Abrams –he
was a classmate of mine at Harvard Law School; he’s one of these
people. Abrams was responsible for personally murdering 35,000 people
down in Nicaragua. He was in charge of the Contra war. And I say that
having been down there myself in 1985, we had a delegation of lawyers,
Ramsey Clark, Len Weinglass and two French Canadian lawyers, and we
were off in the war zone near Matagalpa investigating Contra atrocities
at a time when the Contras said they would kill any Americans on the
grounds that they were presumptively Sandanista sympathizers. And later
they would kill Ben Linder.
So this guy Abrams has already killed 35,000 in Nicaragua and he should
be in jail rather than Deputy National Security Advisor. He is running
Bush’s entire policy toward the Middle East. He is also a fanatical
Zionist affiliated with the Likud Party in Israel, as is true for many
but not all of these Neo-conservatives. This is an extremely dangerous
situation. These Neocons want to take on Iran as a favor to Israel.
They believe that what is good for Israel is good for the United States.
