The media would like us all to forget what happened to Nicaragua 20 years ago
Edited on Tue Sep-25-07 07:50 PM by ck4829
Apparently the media gave Daniel Ortega the 'liberal' media treatment today describing his speech as "railing" and "arm waving."

If you looked at the US government today and saw Dick Cheney, John Negroponte, Elliot Abrams, and all those other people BACK IN POWER, and not only are they back in power, they even ruined another country, Iraq, would you exactly be civil?

The contras didn't target soldiers or the government of Nicaragua for the most part, they targeted doctors and teachers out in the remote parts of the country, where the government could not respond as well to the terrorist acts of the contras, these tactics were taught to them by people in the White House today.

We must never forget what happened to Nicaragua 20 years or what is happening to Iraq today.

2. I wish that the record had not been scrubbed about who was involved
in the Business Plot against FDR - I'd be curious to see if there is a correlation between those names and the founders of the CIA.

They've been behind a slow-motion coup for two generations.
