AFTER GORE

What an irony! In the opinion of many, it was a Third Party candidate, Ralph Nader of the Greens, who doomed the Democratic candidate in 2000 and ensured victory for George Bush. Just over two years later, that same candidate, Al Gore, all but guaranteed there will be a third party challenger in 2004, maybe even Ralph Nader.

On Sunday, Dec. 15 of this waning year, Al Gore announced that he was no longer a candidate for the Democratic nomination in 2004. He'd come to that conclusion, he said, in the green room at NBC's studios in New York, waiting to go on "Saturday Night Live." Liberated from the burden of candidacy, Gore duly put on one of the better performances of his career in public life.

So why did he stand down, and what does his exit portend in the political battles ahead?

When Gore took his stance against the attack on Iraq he was parting ways with a group that has underwritten his political career these past 30 years, a group among whose prime features has been unswerving advocacy of the most hawkish Israeli positions, as expressed by Gore's tutor, Martin Peretz, Harvard fixture and sometime editor-in-chief of the New Republic.

It was Peretz who stood at Gore's elbow when the latter successfully established himself as one of the most delirious pro-Israel apologists in the U.S. Congress. It was Peretz who helped script Gore's prime-time Senate speech in 1991 announcing his defection from the Congressional Democrats in favor of Bush Sr.'s war.

Gore had to have known, when he started voicing opposition to Bush Jr.'s war plans, that his most enduring money source would dry up, that he was cutting off his own money supply.

Is the moral that no Democratic candidate can afford to take any position athwart that of Israel's hawks and their promoters here? It certainly looks like it.

Most prominent in the field as possible Democratic challengers to George Bush we now have Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts, Senator Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut and Senator John Edwards of North Carolina. Back in 1991, Kerry, a Vietnam vet, spoke strongly against war on Iraq, and in 2000, Gore discounted Kerry as a possible running mate because of that opposition. Now, Kerry favors war. Lieberman takes his cue from Ariel Sharon. Kerry has the financial advantage of being married to Teresa, formerly the wife of Senator John Heinz, who was killed in an air crash. Teresa inherited around $700 million. For his part, Lieberman rakes in cash from the corporations in whose cause he led the push to relax the accounting rules, thus prompting the corporate scandals that made 2002 such an enjoyable year.

To winch his nomination prospects out of the mud, Edwards began to pound the war drum last fall. The prospect of dropping bombs on Iraqi people enthralls the senator. On Sept. 19, Edwards rushed to be first in line among Senate Democrats to show his unflinching support for unlimited war, publishing an editorial in the Washington Post so in tune with Bush doctrine that the U.S. State Department featured it on its Web site.

Moral: As with Kerry, no Democratic candidate feels able to oppose a war on Iraq.

The same time that Gore was staking his antiwar ground, the Texan populist Ronnie Dugger wrote an impassioned article in The Nation magazine, entitled "Ralph, Don't Run," calling for unified opposition to Bush in 2004. Bush, Dugger wrote, is far worse than anyone could have imagined. There is no longer room, he concluded, for any Third Party candidate liable to take votes from the Democratic nominee.

Dugger recounted how he had vainly tried to get Ralph Nader to agree that all progressives, populists, Leftists, Greens, etc., should fall in behind the Democratic nominee. "Ralph persists in the view," Dugger wrote sadly, "that it does not matter whether a Democrat or a Republican sits in the White House."

Gore's departure hasn't made life any easier for those who would agree with Dugger. After all, here's was a Democratic politician building a campaign platform exactly along the sort of left-liberal lines Dugger has long campaigned for. Gore had come out in favor of single-payer health insurance. He'd been taking a populist line on the economy. He'd attacked the looming war. At which point he discovered that he had no future in the party as a presidential candidate and no prospect of raising any money.

There were three major issues in 2002: war with Iraq; national security and the bill of rights; and the tanking economy. The Democrats have failed on all three fronts, nowhere more dismally than on the economy, where opportunity has been ripest.

The Democrats have no plan, and much of the time manage to stand to the right of the Republicans on matters such as balancing the budget. Amid almost weekly examples of corporate looting and executive criminality unrivaled in the fragrant history of American capitalism, the Democrats have been unable to seize the initiative, which is scarcely surprising since the party has been soundly bribed into complaisance by these same corporate criminals.

When Gore took himself out of the race on Dec. 15, he proved once again Ralph Nader's point: the seamless realities of mainstream politics; the enduring need for alternative candidacies. It may not be Nader himself, but in all likelihood, there will be another Green candidate, and for those furious Democrats who think it was Nader who gave Bush the crucial edge in his dubious capture of the White House, that's grim news.

Question: Did Ariel Sharon advise George Bush to use the same policies on the American people that Israel uses on the Palestinians and on Israeli citizies, i.e. deportations, no due process, mandatory conscription? Does that explain the Patriot Act?

Who let that sleazy cocksucker Crazy Howie and his "The Wonder Years" cheapo-putzo little buds back on?!!

Jew purses opened wide, and now we've got an entire quisling Congress.

They got the shekels, and Findlay gives a few heckles.

The 'Net is spreading the Word, and that's good. But, each of us, must tell it to another American in the course of their daily strolls.

Democracy has been bought by Jews for Jews, and we gots to change that ugliness around.

ALexander James

Zionists' motto is "Make War by Deception". Zionists will lie, kill, torture, steal, cheat anyone. They have been doing it since centuries with their Freemason Brotherhood allies. Once they commit genocide on the Palestinians, they will continue with genocide on the rest of the world. They are having Palestinians for breakfast but the lunch and supper is the rest of the world.

Don't be fooled by what Zionists say! Zionists are real snakes and lizards!

Zionists even collaborated with Nazis to kill ordinary Jews and non-Jews.

Zionists collaborated with Stalin as well.

Zionists are a menace to manking. They control Israel and the United States in all significant power areas. It is only by exposing them that the rest of the world will be able to survive.

THE WISE COURSE: WITHDRAW FROM IRAQ
By Paul Findley / May 6, 2004

Misguided by the arrogance of military power and a dangerous vision of
imperial destiny, President George W. Bush and a compliant Congress have
led America into a bloody abyss that gets deeper and bloodier with each
passing day.

Their dreams of a flower-strewn path of Iraqi liberation have become a
nightmare. U.S. forces are mired in a lethal struggle against powerful,
resourceful insurgents. It is war, not liberation. Casualties blight
many thousands of families on both sides, with no end in sight. Iraqi
hostility to the U.S. occupation soars and so does anti-American fury
worldwide. Photographs of barbaric U.S. torture and abuse of
incarcerated Iraqis will long burn in the memories of many millions.
Never before has America been viewed in such wretched ugliness.

President Bush’s response to this plight is more troops, preferably from
other countries. It will only deepen the misery. We learned in Vietnam
that more foreign military firepower will increase insurgency, not quell
it. Bush misreads the militancy as the work of remnants of the Saddam
regime and newly arrived troublemakers from Al Queda. It fact, it is
motivated mainly by broad Iraqi fear that the United States plans to
control Iraq far into the future. Here are questions that trouble Iraqis:

-- Why has Washington established a super-embassy in Iraq with a staff
of 3,000, the largest diplomatic mission in world history? Is it
designed to influence future Iraqi governmental activity?

-- How long will U.S. troops remain in Iraq? Will U.S. military bases
there ever be dismantled?

-- When will reconstruction work be turned over to Iraqi contractors and
employees?

-- How can Iraqis believe Bush’s promise of independence and freedom
while he helps Israel deny these same rights in neighboring Palestine?

Israel has long manipulated U.S. policy in the Middle East and already
advises U.S. forces on how to organize the occupation. Consequently,
Iraqis fear Israel will be the real power in fashioning U.S. policy in
Iraq during the interim period that starts July l and will remain
dominant even after Iraqi citizens directly elect a government. A recent
major survey by CNN-USA Today reports that Iraqis fear becoming “another
Palestine.”

The remedy to this dreadful mess is a clear U.S. decision, announced
immediately, to exit Iraq. President Bush must face down Israeli
opposition and announce that, within weeks after the inauguration of the
new directly-elected government, probably in early January, a full U.S.
withdrawal will occur.

His announcement must state that all U.S. military forces and any
abnormal U.S. diplomatic bureaucracy will depart, except for those the
new Iraqi government may ask to remain. Beyond any such exceptions, all
U.S. military bases will be dismantled, all U.S. construction and
maintenance contracts will be terminated, and all future U.S. aid to
Iraq will handled through the U.S. Agency for International Development.

If Bush acts, his announcement will be applauded except by the Israeli
government. In America, all citizens will know that the costly mess in
Iraq will soon end. In Iraq, with the U.S. exit assured, insurgency will
surely diminish and casualties may even end. Attention will shift to
approving a constitution and electing a truly independent Iraqi government.

Worldwide anti-American passion will subside, because the announcement
will be read as a significant departure, not just from Iraq, but from
the war-making doctrines announced by the Bush administration after the
9/11 catastrophe. It will also signal the end of Bush’s dreams of empire
in the Middle East and be a significant expression of America’s.
confidence is the ability of the Iraqis to manage their own affairs.

When the U.S. exit is completed, Americans and Iraqis alike will be able
to give full attention to mending the awful wounds of an awful war.
