Kerry/Bush a cover-up team for Iran Contra

IMO, the Iran-Contra scandal should�ve been fully exposed. It would�ve shown just how corrupt the government has been for a very long time in the United States.

Does this article show that Bush and Kerry are closer allies than they appear to be in front of the camera? I think so.

For instance, he totally avoided the issue of CIA narcotic trafficking, and he totally avoided the issue of the enormous amount of fraud committed by the Bush family.

I think Kerry should�ve exposed the scandal. It would�ve made him a hero. So why didn�t he?

"But this is the way it all works. That was the magic connection that Kerry was frightened of, that you couldn�t keep this as revelations of fraud, graft, corruption, waste, and abuse. You couldn�t keep it as individual examples because there was so much interlinkage that the American people might finally understand that this is the way government works and always has.�

Kerry is just like Bush. Caring more about political issues than caring for the American people. Maybe he was influenced not to expose Iran Contra. Of course, since both Kerry and Bush are Skull and Bones buddies, why would Kerry rat on his Bones buddy Bush?

Questions About Bush's Iran-Contra Role Resurface

Ever since the scandal erupted almost six years ago, Bush has maintained that he was unaware that Reagan was secretly trading weapons to Iran as ransom for American hostages, and that he did not realize that then-Secretary of State George P. Shultz PhD '49 and then-Secretary of Defense Caspar W. Weinberger bitterly opposed the deal.

But the testimony of other high officials has contradicted the key points of Bush's account.

Now Democratic candidate Bill Clinton is seeking to focus public attention on the issue, arguing that more attention should be paid to what he calls Bush's deliberate misrepresentations of his role. "It seems to be that he is not telling the truth about this," Clinton spokesman George Stephanopoulos said Thursday. "I think George Bush has a big credibility problem."

Why Does George W. Bush Fly in Drug Smuggler Barry Seal's Airplane?

by
Daniel Hopsicker and Michael C. Ruppert

It has all the makings of a major box office thriller: Texas Governor and Republican Presidential contender George W. Bush and his brother Jeb, allegedly caught on videotape in 1985 picking up kilos of coc aine at a Florida airport in a DEA sting set up by Barry Seal�

An ensuing murderous cover-up featuring Seal's public assassination less than a year later by a hit team�the members of which, when caught, reveal to their attorneys during trial that their actions were being directed by then, National Security Council (NSC) staffer - Lt. Colonel Oliver North�

And a private turboprop King Air 200 supposedly caught on tape in the sting with FAA ownership records leading directly to the CIA and some of the perpetrators of the most notorious (and never punished) major financial frauds of the '80s. �Greek shippers paying bribes to obtain loans from American companies that would never be repaid.�An American executive snatching the charred remains of a $10,000 payoff check from an ashtray in an Athens restaurant�Swiss police finding bank accounts used for kickbacks and bribes�

Add to this mix the now irrefutable proof, some of it from the CIA itself, that then Vice President George H.W. Bush was a decision maker in illegal Contra support operations connected to the "unusual" acquisition of aircraft and that his staff participated in key financial, operational and political decisions�

All these events lead inexorably to one unanswered question: How did this one plane go from being controlled by Barry Seal, the biggest drug smuggler in American history, to becoming, according to state officials, a favored airplane of Texas Governor George W. Bush?

So once again, even though the two canidates seem to hate eachother in front of the cameras, I believe they share more of the same views behind closed doors.
