An interview with former UN Weapons Inspector Scott Ritter
on the Resignation of David Kay and the Weapons of Mass Destruction
Lie;
Dennis interviews author Kevin Philips on the Bush Dynasty
and the Bush family Rise To Power;
5:01 PM PST
Nora examines Mr. Ritter's reactions to David Kay's acknowledgement
that no Weapons of Mass Destruction will be found in Iraq.
After 500+ American military and over ten thousand Iraqi's
killed in an unecessary war. The sad thing is this was the
conclusion that should have been readily drawn prior to the
Iraq invasion and occupation by the U.S. David Kay erroneously
attributes error to lack of CIA data, but this is grossly
irresponsible and politically motivated on his part. American
people need to be less susceptible to the Bush hysterical
pitch for this destructive war. "The truth is not the
friend of this administation when it comes to Iraq - the truth
is the enemy". Colin Powell recently concided that Iraq
may not have had the weapons The world knows that America
is a nation now ruled by a liar, not only to the US but to
the world. The President made a decision to go to war either
based on his ignorance, or his inability to tell the truth.
What are we, the American people going to do now in 2004.
If GW Bush is elected President because we don't hold him
accountable, we aren't worthy or deserve the title of citizens
of the United States of American.

Kevin Philips, author of "American Dynasty: Aristocracy,
Fortune, and the Politics of Deceit in the House of Bush"
is interviewed by Dennis Bernstein. Mr. Philips lays out the
controversial history of the Bush family. They've consolidated
power for four generations, much to the detriment of most
Americans. His preface summarizes "The result is an unusual
and unflattering portrait great in power, not morality, that
has built a base over the course of the 20th Century in the
back corridors of the military-industrial complex and in close
association with the growing Intelligence and National Security
Establishments. In doing so, the Bush have threaded their
way through damning political banking and armament scandals.
Since the 1980's, controversies like the October Surprise,
Iran Contra and Iraqgate, imbroglios which in other climates
or difficult times might have led to impeachment." Philips,
a firm Republican makes his critique all the more damning
and dovetails with recent revelations by former Treasury Secretary
O'Neil.
