Methodist Bishops Repent Iraq War 'Complicity'
by K. J. Smith, 11/11/05

WASHINGTON -- Ninety-five bishops from President Bush's church said
Thursday they repent their "complicity" in the "unjust and immoral"
invasion and occupation of Iraq.

"In the face of the United States administration's rush toward military
action based on misleading information, too many of us were silent,"
said
a statement of conscience signed by more than half of the 164 retired
and
active United Methodist bishops worldwide.

President Bush is a member of the United Methodist Church, according to
various published biographies. The White House did not return a request
for comment on the bishops' statement.

Although United Methodist leadership has opposed the Iraq war in the
past,
this is the first time that individual bishops have confessed to a
personal failure to publicly challenge the buildup to the war.

The signatures were also an instrument for retired bishops to make their
views known, said bishop Joseph H. Yeakel, who served in the
Baltimore-Washington area from 1984 to 1996. The current bishop for the
Baltimore-Washington area, John R. Schol, also signed the statement.

The statement avoids making accusations, said retired Bishop Kenneth L.
Carder, instructor at Duke University's divinity school and an author of
the document.

"We would have made the statement regardless of who the president was.
It
was not meant to be either partisan or to single out any one person,"
Carder said. "It was the recognition that we are all part of the
decision
and we are all part of a democratic society. We all bear
responsibility."

Stith, who spent more than three years after his retirement working in
East Africa -- including with Rwandan refugees -- said going to war over
the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks did not solve the real problems behind them.

The real issues are that much of the world lives in poverty, desperation
and depression, he said, while an affluent minority of the world often
oppresses them. Americans need to take responsibility for their world,
Stith said.

"To ignore things and to assume that persons in the government have all
knowledge is to reject our franchise and our democracy," Stith said.

About six weeks ago, Carder discussed the idea of a public statement
with
other colleagues who "had concerns" about the war, and the idea just
grew,
Carder said.

Last week, the statement circulated during a biannual meeting of the
Council of Bishops, "and before the week was out, we had 95 bishops,"
Carder said.

In their statement, the bishops pledged to pray daily for the end of the
war, for its American and Iraqi victims and for American leaders to find
"truth, humility and policies of peace through justice."

"We confess our preoccupation with institutional enhancement and limited
agendas while American men and women are sent to Iraq to kill and be
killed, while thousands of Iraqi people needlessly suffer and die, while
poverty increases and preventable diseases go untreated," the statement
said.

Some bishops declined to sign their names, although they supported the
statement, Carder said.

This week's statement follows years of public opposition to the Iraq war
by the church.

In May 2004, the Council of Bishops passed a resolution that "lamented
the
continued warfare" and asked the U.S. government to seek international
help to rebuild Iraq. The church's women's division called for an end to
the war in 2002. And in 2001, the church's head of social policy, Jim
Winkler, said the push for war was "without any justification according
to
the teachings of Christ," according to a report by The (London)
Observer.

Public approval of the war has steadily declined since the United States
invaded Iraq in March 2003. At the time, seven of 10 Americans said the
U.S. did the right thing. By this October, only four of 10 Americans
did,
according to CBS polls.

About 11 million people belong to the United Methodist Church, including
200,000 in the Baltimore-Washington area.

Carder and Stith said they hoped their statement would encourage more
people to think about peacemaking.

"The only solution seems to be to stay the course. But if you're on the
wrong course, you don't stay the course," Carder said. "At the heart of
the Christian faith is the willingness to acknowledge mistakes."

They should all be sent to Gitmo and tortured until they apologize to Bush
and support the war again.

Here goes:

In August 2002, Cheney insisted: "Simply stated, there is no doubt that
Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction."

In a March 2003 address to the nation, Bush said: "Intelligence gathered by
this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to
possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised."

In April 2003, Fleischer claimed: "But make no mistake--as I said
earlier--we have high confidence that they have weapons of mass destruction.
That is what this war was about and it is about."

In February 2003, Powell said: "We know that Saddam Hussein is determined to
keep his weapons of mass destruction, is determined to make more."

But on 24 Feb 2001, Powell made the following statement while in Cairo,
Egypt:

"We had a good discussion, the Foreign Minister and I and the President and
I, had a good discussion about the nature of the sanctions -- the fact that
the sanctions exist -- not for the purpose of hurting the Iraqi people, but
for the purpose of keeping in check Saddam Hussein's ambitions toward
developing weapons of mass destruction. We should constantly be reviewing
our policies, constantly be looking at those sanctions to make sure that
they are directed toward that purpose. That purpose is every bit as
important now as it was ten years ago when we began it. And frankly they
have worked. He has not developed any significant capability with respect to
weapons of mass destruction. He is unable to project conventional power
against his neighbors. So in effect, our policies have strengthened the
security of the neighbors of Iraq..."

On 15 May 2001, Powell testified before the Foreign Operations, Export
Financing and Related Programs Subcommittee of the Senate Appropriations
Committee.

Senator Bennett: Mr. Secretary, the U.N. sanctions on Iraq expire the
beginning of June. We've had bombs dropped, we've had threats made, we've
had all kinds of activity vis-a-vis Iraq in the previous administration. Now
we're coming to the end. What's our level of concern about the progress of
Saddam Hussein's chemical and biological weapons programs?

Secretary Powell: The sanctions, as they are called, have succeeded over the
last 10 years, not in deterring him from moving in that direction, but from
actually being able to move in that direction. The Iraqi regime militarily
remains fairly weak. It doesn't have the capacity it had 10 or 12 years ago.
It has been contained. And even though we have no doubt in our mind that the
Iraqi regime is pursuing programs to develop weapons of mass destruction --
chemical, biological and nuclear -- I think the best intelligence estimates
suggest that they have not been terribly successful. There's no question
that they have some stockpiles of some of these sorts of weapons still under
their control, but they have not been able to break out, they have not been
able to come out with the capacity to deliver these kinds of systems or to
actually have these kinds of systems that is much beyond where they were 10
years ago.

Condoleeza Rice gets in on the act (29 July 2001, CNN Late Edition with Wolf
Blitzer) and her statement seems to support Powell's position:

"But in terms of Saddam Hussein being there, let's remember that his country
is divided, in effect. He does not control the northern part of his country.
We are able to keep arms from him. His military forces have not been
rebuilt."

Check out the following links:

http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/08/19/powell.un/
http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/...aq.wmd.report/

I don't believe that Hussein was able to go on a WMD after the Powell/Rice
statements and managed to obtain a huge aresenal between then and 2003.

All of this comes just as former Marine Corps General and former CENTCOM
commander Anthony Zinni has begun to speak out about the war in Iraq. Zinni
is the subject of a multiple page article in the Washington Post in which he
says "If I'm ever in a position to say what I think is right, I will. . . .
I don't care what happens to my career."

Zinni is indeed telling it like it is. To quote the Post:

"Iraq is in serious danger of coming apart because of lack of planning,
underestimating the task and buying into a flawed strategy," he says. "The
longer we stubbornly resist admitting the mistakes and not altering our
approach, the harder it will be to pull this chestnut out of the fire."

Apparently the time that Zinni turned against the Bush Administration (he
endorsed Bush in the 2000 election) was when he saw Vice President Dick
Cheney speak to a VFW convention.

"Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of
mass destruction," Cheney said. "There is no doubt that he is amassing them
to use against our friends, against our allies, and against us."

Cheney's certitude bewildered Zinni. As chief of the Central Command, Zinni
had been immersed in U.S. intelligence about Iraq. He was all too familiar
with the intelligence analysts' doubts about Iraq's programs to acquire
weapons of mass destruction, or WMD. "In my time at Centcom, I watched the
intelligence, and never -- not once -- did it say, 'He has WMD.' "

That's right. Zinni says that "never ‹ not once ‹ did [the intelligence]
say, 'He has WMD.'" It was uncertain. It was always uncertain. Once Cheney
left the stage Zinni was conviced of two things: first, that the Bush
Administration was determined to invade and occupy Iraq. And, second, "These
guys don't understand what they are getting into."

On Thursday, President Bush claimed that: "Nearly 100,000 fully trained and
equipped Iraqi soldiers, police officers, and other security personnel are
working today." *- President Bush, Press Conference, Sept. 23, 2004

However, the Pentagon said last Monday that of these ³nearly 100,000 fully
trained and equipped Iraqi soldiers² only about 53,000 Iraqi troops have
undergone training.

In addition, Reuters reports that of the nearly 90,000 Iraqis currently in
the police force, only 8,169 have had the full eight-week academy training.
And it will be July 2006 before the administration's new goal of 135,000
fully trained police is met.

On Thursday, President Bush claimed that: "Nearly 100,000 fully trained and
equipped Iraqi soldiers, police officers, and other security personnel are
working today." *- President Bush, Press Conference, Sept. 23, 2004

However, the Pentagon said last Monday that of these ³nearly 100,000 fully
trained and equipped Iraqi soldiers² only about 53,000 Iraqi troops have
undergone training.

In addition, Reuters reports that of the nearly 90,000 Iraqis currently in
the police force, only 8,169 have had the full eight-week academy training.
And it will be July 2006 before the administration's new goal of 135,000
fully trained police is met.

Greg



Did you ever stop to think that there were some trained Iraqi soldiers
before the war started? We did not kill them all you know. Do you
think that the Pentagon might have meant that we have only trained
53K?

All of this comes just as former Marine Corps General and former CENTCOM
commander Anthony Zinni has begun to speak out about the war in Iraq. Zinni
is the subject of a multiple page article in the Washington Post in which
he
says "If I'm ever in a position to say what I think is right, I will. . . .
I don't care what happens to my career."

Zinni is indeed telling it like it is. To quote the Post:

"Iraq is in serious danger of coming apart because of lack of planning,
underestimating the task and buying into a flawed strategy," he says. "The
longer we stubbornly resist admitting the mistakes and not altering our
approach, the harder it will be to pull this chestnut out of the fire."

Apparently the time that Zinni turned against the Bush Administration (he
endorsed Bush in the 2000 election) was when he saw Vice President Dick
Cheney speak to a VFW convention.

"Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of
mass destruction," Cheney said. "There is no doubt that he is amassing them
to use against our friends, against our allies, and against us."

Cheney's certitude bewildered Zinni. As chief of the Central Command, Zinni
had been immersed in U.S. intelligence about Iraq. He was all too familiar
with the intelligence analysts' doubts about Iraq's programs to acquire
weapons of mass destruction, or WMD. "In my time at Centcom, I watched the
intelligence, and never -- not once -- did it say, 'He has WMD.' "

That's right. Zinni says that "never ‹ not once ‹ did [the intelligence]
say, 'He has WMD.'" It was uncertain. It was always uncertain. Once Cheney
left the stage Zinni was conviced of two things: first, that the Bush
Administration was determined to invade and occupy Iraq. And, second,
"These
guys don't understand what they are getting into."

Why does it always have to be WMD's with you guys? You all seem to
forget the other hundred reasons that we should have kicked his butt!

The subject is Bush's lies. Try to keep up.

Why don't you just answer the question instead of avoiding it?

The Associated Press
PANAMA CITY, Panama Nov 7, 2005 ‹ President Bush vigorously defended U.S.
interrogation practices in the war on terror Monday and lobbied against a
congressional drive to outlaw torture.
"There's an enemy that lurks and plots and plans and wants to hurt America
again," Bush said. "So you bet we will aggressively pursue them but we will
do so under the law."
He declared, "We do not torture."


'Tard boy liberals such as yourself would rather give the terrorists some
milk,
cookies and a pat on the head.

Actually, I would prefer to have seen Osama killed or captured and Al Qaeda
destroyed in Afghanistan. But, like you, our commander-in-chief has a small
attention span. As to operating torture camps - isn't that what we're
supposed to be opposed to?

Greg



Actually, I don't think making people pose naked is torture, but the
liberal media got the attention of all the bleeding heart liberals. It
was the only way they had to fight back. They whined about some naked
pictures. What happened to the Jews at the hands of the Nazis, that
was torture.

Defections? Heck, just today I read that the head of the NAACP in Orlando
switched to the Republican party.

That's progress!

Now as soon as the rest of Black America realizes that the Liberal/Democrats
really don't have their best interests at heart the better off the rest of us
will be.

I love these guys that just post links to some obscure news story. Do
they actually have the ability to think critically for themselves.
Barnard, Mike, Greg, David, and others they are all cut from the same
mold I think. They remind me of a big turd swirling down the toilet.
Do you think they make up this stuff as they are swirling side by side
on the way down?
