More Bush Censure
Liberation News Service: Bush Censure by Envoys May Be a First, Historians Say: “The statement by 27 former
diplomats and military officers on Wednesday calling
for the defeat of U.S. President George W. Bush may be
unprecedented.
“Their prominence and seniority and influence when in
their diplomatic or military posts, and their number,
is really remarkable,” said Richard Kohn, the
Pentagon’s chief Air Force historian from 1981-1991
and chairman of the University of North Carolina’s
peace, war and defense curriculum in Chapel Hill.
The group, which includes Democrats and Republicans,
said Bush’s foreign policy and the war in Iraq have
damaged U.S. security. Its statement may sway voters
already concerned by reports of abuse of Iraqi
prisoners by U.S. soldiers and the conclusion by a
bipartisan commission that Saddam Hussein had no
connection to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.”
