Honored Guests AWOL at Gipper's Funeral
The GOP has no sense of loyalty nor protocol. The 3 major recipients of "Reagan's Legacy" were NOT asked to be present at his State funeral last Friday. In fact, they were banished from the USA. How's that for being RUDE?
During the 1980s the USA gov't gave more than several Billions of hard-earned taxpayers' money to the following 'freedom fighters' and 'moral equivalents to our founding fathers'(both Reagan-speak quotes almost as notable as Chief Chickenhawk's infamous "Mission Accomplished" propaganda faux pas):
1. USAMA & his band of religious fundamentalist fighters, who parlayed over $2 Billion of USA aid to turn Afghanistan into Washington's "failed state" of Biblical proportions.
2. SADDAM, the Butcher of Bagdad, was the host to Reagan special envoy 'Rumps-felt'(aka the Don who never met a carpet bomber he didn't like) in 1983, to received assurances of American military aid & intelligence scoops, for his attacks on the Iranians. Not only that, Warlord Don didn't have a single word of criticism for Saddam even while his visit occurred during the time gas was allegedly used by Iraqi forces on both the Iranians & the Kurds.
3. MANUEL NORIEGA, a loyal ally for the USA while Reagan used Panama to train terrorists against the legally-elected Sandinista gov't of Nicaragua.
4. Also, the notorious CONTRAS, armed & organized by convicted liars like Eliott Abrams & Olliver North, plus death squad-connected John Negroponte(all resurrected by the Neo-con Junta to spearhead the Bushwhacked War of Terror on the Planet), who used Made-in-USA weapons to kill tens of thousands of civilians in Nicaragua, El Salvador & Guatemala.
All these Primary Beneficiaries of the 'Reagan Legacy' should have been front-row Honored Guests at the GOP-contrived State Funeral for the Gipper last week. But why did the Bush Regime keep these 'freedom fighters' from coming? Instead, 2 of them are languishing in jail, and the third, W's 'Endearing Mate' Usama, is being hunted down somewhere in Pakistan.
What's up with that??
