Bush Thinks the Unthinkable, Terrorizes by WMD Threat

Bush Thinks the Unthinkable, Terrorizes by WMD Threat

This article by Paul Craig Roberts is a great one. It lays out how the Bush administration has reinvented our ideas about weapons of mass destruction and presidential authority in a way that would allow nukes to be used in first strike aggression. And it may explain why General Pace lost his job.

 

From the article:

 

"It is the absolute responsibility of everybody in uniform to disobey an order that is either illegal or immoral."

General Peter Pace, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, National Press Club, February 17, 2006.

 

"They will be held accountable for the decisions they make. So they should in fact not obey the illegal and immoral orders to use weapons of mass destruction."

General Peter Pace, CNN With Wolf Blitzer, April 6, 2003
