It is only delusional if it is not true.
"While there is no suggestion that Prescott Bush was sympathetic to the Nazi cause, the documents reveal that the firm he worked for, Brown Brothers Harriman (BBH), acted as a US base for the German industrialist, Fritz Thyssen, who helped finance Hitler in the 1930s before falling out with him at the end of the decade. The Guardian has seen evidence that shows Bush was the director of the New York-based Union Banking Corporation (UBC) that represented Thyssen''s US interests and he continued to work for the bank after America entered the war."
In short, those who helped Hitler rise to the chancellery of Germany are guilty of causing WW2.

- Finally, the truth is getting out. Iran does not want Al Qaeda as a next door neighbor because al Qaeda regards Iran as an infidel nation. We have a bargaining chip with Iran. With this in mind, who is more capable of leading this country? McCain, whose favorite song is "bomb,bomb,bomb,bomb.. Iran" or Obama who favors some sort of dialogue with Iran? We need to begin talking in some way with the people we don''t like. Furthermore, Obama understands Iran in a way that McCain and Palin cannot. Demographically, Iran is a young country. Iran''s young people have evolved a vibrant rock scene which has two centers, Tehran and Los Angeles(Hence,Terangeles?) More of Iran''s young people are connected to the internet than any other country in the Middle East. Iran''s economy is a mess. Gasoline shortages have resulted in anti-government riots.
McCain''s Iran policies will simply give new life to an increasingly unpopular regime. Obama reaches out and inspires the young. (After all a lot of young men in Iran share Obama''s middle name.) Perhaps, Obama is more popular among the young than the current regime of mullahs. With these facts in mind, our best hope of bringing about a regime change in Iran is to stage a regime change in the US.
We need to elect Obama with a landslide. - Reply to this comment

Laugh at this.
"...Of critical importance in this memo is the portion that reads:
9. It is not believed that in the present state of political opinion the United States government is capable of declaring war against Japan without more ado; and it is barely possible that vigorous action on our part might lead the Japanese to modify their attitude. Therefore, the following course of action is suggested:
A. Make an arrangement with Britain for the use of British bases in the Pacific, particularly Singapore.
B. Make an arrangement with Holland for the use of base facilities and acquisition of supplies in the Dutch East Indies.
C. Give all possible aid to the Chinese government of Chiang-Kai-Shek.
D. Send a division of long range heavy cruisers to the Orient, Philippines, or Singapore.
E. Send two divisions of submarines to the Orient.
F. Keep the main strength of the U.S. fleet now in the Pacific in the vicinity of the Hawaiian Islands.
G. Insist that the Dutch refuse to grant Japanese demands for undue economic concessions, particularly oil.
H. Completely embargo all U.S. trade with Japan, in collaboration with a similar embargo imposed by the British Empire.
10. If by these means Japan could be led to commit an overt act of war, so much the better. At all events we must be fully prepared to accept the threat of war.

Just because Prescott Bush''s companies did business with German companies doesn''t mean he STARTED WORLD WAR II!!
That is just plain delusional. - Reply to this comment

Great, glad they enjoyed it, now go to the google sites, and really give them something to laugh about.
Or are you afraid of the truth? Oh, that''s right, you all are probably voting McSame, so that question is moot. - Reply to this comment

- Wow. I did google prescott boosh. I wonder why that info isn''''t more widely known?..." Posted by stevex47
Because the Democrats, while sleazy, are not quite as sleazy as the Republicans. Bush Sr. dogged McSame, alleging that he fathered a "Black" baby, and this time we notice how Mr. Obama''s relatives are used as anti Obama justification.
Yet the Democrats would not use this public information against any of the Bushes, and as we''re talking about Bush Sr.''s father, there is a direct link.
Perhaps they thought it would actually benefit Bush''s ultra right to know their leader had a close link with their German Messiah. - Reply to this comment

George Galloway testified in the senate hearing on the Iraq oil for food scandal. "You tube" it, check out his opening statement, every word was undeniable, and he tore Bowman -R., and Levin -D., both new ones. He did mention the Saudis, check it out.

Well that game is over, India now has the brain power, and is now breaking out from British tactics, they already have nuclear power and nuclear weapons, and in the north are all the minerals they need, the power plants are being built now, with help from Japan, Korea, and other countries with the architectural expertise to build very quickly.
The two new power centers, India and China are now coming into their own, and there is nothing the "west" can do to stop them.
Just as Rome fell, so did the British Empire, and now the American empire follows. India and China will have their day, and as it has in the past theirs will also end. Nothing is permanent, and very little is real. - Reply to this comment
- Why should Iran feel guilty? The Saudis were behind the 9-11 Disaster. The ensuing war drove-up the price for a barrel of oil. OPEC is the culprit of this financial debacle.

- We all know what the root of the problem with Iran is.
Central banking systems cannot survive with countries developing their own energy and their sources of water.
The libor rate (British Interbank lending rate) is the key component in the British Empire in which has a interest rate spread based on countries and people taking out loans to buy oil and trade food and water.
If a country like Iran develops it''s own nuclear energy then it can demand real products that are now under sanctions for their oil instead of worthless paper Federal Reserve Notes.
That''s the issue, always has been always will...commodities for worthless paper ''dollars'' or for real products like airplane parts.
Look at the nuclear deal between the U.S. and India, it''s a joke because they want to force India to rely on imported fiscile material instead of them developing it independently. Why?
To keep India reliant on worthless paper Federal Reserve Notes. - Reply to this comment

- Iran handed copies of 300,000 passports to USA?
It is true, that Iraq had nothing to do with the 911 attack. Saddaam Hussien considered Osama Bin Laden a lunatic by Iraqi standards and wanted nothing to do with him.
It is true, that Saddaam Hussien was more fearful of an Iranian invasion than a USA invasion.
It is true, that Saddaam Hussien had WMD around the time of the Gulf War in ''92 but lost them during the war and afterwards. It is true, he maintained a defiant posture to the UN weapons inspectors and remained mysterious to keep his Iranian neighbors from exploiting his disadvantage.
It is true, the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait was started over horizontal drilling techniques used by Kuwait to extract oil from Iraq. When confronted, the Kuwait leader told Saddaam Hussien if Iraq tried to stop them, Kuwait would turn every woman in Iraq into a $10 prostitute.
The US State Department has been ineffective in their diplomatic missions and know very little about Mid-East Cultures. - Reply to this comment
- Well, let''''s see, we had Prescott Bush and his wealthy US friends who helped Hitler to power, and sold the fuel for the Nazi war machine, and on the other side the US embargo on Japan is now recognized as provoked by the US to create a reason to enter a war that the rich wanted, but the non-rich people did not.
You must have flunked history.

- For those who really want to laugh, watch George Galloway tear the US senate a new one over the Iraq oil for food scandal.
He even humbled the normally bulldog-ish Sen. Levin D-Mich., and by the end of his opening statement, the Republican senator was almost crying.
Of course the news media never mentioned it, watch it on you tube, and find out why. - Reply to this comment
