Sunday, April 23, 2006 Bush spends wkend w/ Iran warmongers ThinkProgress: This tidbit about Bush’s schedule was buried in Sat’s WashPost: Bush traveled Fri night to Stanford Univ, where he met privately with members of the libertarian Hoover Institution to discuss the war. He concluded the day with a private dinner held by George P. Shultz, a Hoover fellow and former secretary of state. Why is this significant? The Hoover Institution is a think tank that has been aggressively promoting the viability of a preemptive military strike in Iran. And Schultz, who hosted this event, was an "early defender of the use of pre-emptive force to deal with Saddam Hussein’s regime in Iraq." Bush is meeting w/ a group of warmongers to plan out pre-emptive lies and spew? That is just soooo shocking... and completely unheard of, no? |
