Quoted from HERE in the Gulf News Online.
Former U.S. senator and author Paul Findley has said that the September 11 attacks could have been avoided if the United States government had been fair in its dealings with Palestinians and not blindly supported Israel.

Well, first, he was a Congressman from Illinois. Second, bin Laden said it was about Saudi Arabia.

While visiting Saudi Arabia for the first time to promote his book Silent No More, which aims to rectify the image of Islam in the United States, Findely told a large audience and the media here that in 1990 he advised the Arab Americans to vote for George W. Bush to get fair treatment from the United States but unfortunately when Bush was elected he turned a blind eye to Arab issues.

The assumption being that the only issue that matters to Arabs is Israel. Wrong right from the start.

“The President of the United States is not taking a fair stand with both the Arabs and Israelis. He has ignored the Arabs and is blindly supporting the Israelis. Despite the rejections of the Americans towards the new stand of the U.S. government, the President is running the show without even seeking the support of the people,” Findley said.

Hmmm, then why the dozens of speeches about Iraq, and the War on Terror, and the many, many appearances on new shows by Administration members? And, oddly, too, the polls seem to show he has the support of the American people.

“Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of this doctrine is that the authority for pre-emptive acts of war lies exclusively with one person who happens to be the President of the United States.

It’s called the Constitution. As a former Congressman, you might have some familiarity with the document. For one thing, it allows you to be the public asswipe you are without fear of retribution from the government.

“After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the American government has started seeking another enemy, which now is Islam.”

Which is why they attacked us first? If you’re worried about preemption, look at what the Islamofascists did.

Elaborating on the Bush administration’s “overreaction” to the September 11 attacks, Findley said: “Their over-reaction has led to racial profiling, detention without charge, the fingerprinting of people and wiretapping which has become a fact of life.”

Oh, have you been detained or fingerprinted? How about recognizing that if you are in this country illegally, you might, just might, get arrested for it? Or if you sell forged documents, or stolen credit cards? Or if you went to Afghanistan and trained with bin Laden?

He observed that Americans by and large continue to remain ignorant of the real world situation.

Crap! Most Americans have a pretty good idea of the world situation. Most of the world could screw up getting out of bed in the morning. That’s why they need our money, our soldiers, our blood shed, so that they can stay free, and stupid.

“They have been misled by the American media, which is controlled by the Jewish lobby. They believe in what they see in the media and do not get to know what’s actually happening in Israel. I must say that people in America should know the truth.”

The Jews! The Jews! Come on, Mr. Congressman, why don’t you just call for the camps and get it over with?

Speaking on Silent No More, Findely said he had spent more than two years on it and published it a month prior to the September attacks.

See the next paragraph, then read this one again.

“I wrote it because I realised that the false image of Islam is the most critical problem standing in the way of reform of Middle East policies. The Americans should know exactly that Islam is a religion of peace, justice, and charity.

ROTFL. The echo you hear is his voice, because his head is so far up his ass…

“Thanks to the media, Americans think that Muslims are a bunch of terrorists which really justifies the brutal treatment of Israel to the innocent Palestinians.”

No, actually it justifies our treatment of a bunch of brutal terrorists. How many Jewish children are blowing themselves up in Palestinian coffee bars?

He also stressed the importance of Arabs to take a greater role in order to correct the image of Islam in the United States.

Yeah, toss out rule by Islamic law. Banish religion from politics. Accept Israel’s right to exist and be secure. Stop murdering your children and raping your women in the name of your God. Then, maybe we’ll start to see Islam in a different light.

Oh, by the way, Congressman, there are a whole shit load of Moslems that aren’t Arabs. Take some of the blood money you’ve received from your Arab buddies and buy a clue!
