[Sosfbay-discuss] My DailyKos Diary on Ford, Reagan, Rumsfeld and Saddam

[alexcathy at aol.com]

Dear Green Friends, 
 
Does everybody in America have a bad case of amnesia?
 
I cannot believe that notorious 1983 picture of Donald Rumsfeld shaking hands with Saddam Hussein has not been posted a thousand places around the Web these last few days. 
 
(sigh) 
 
For what it's worth, see my "Diary" posted on the Daily Kos:

We'll be hearing this nonsense about that "nice guy" Gerald Ford all day today.  In my article there is a link back to decent piece on that subject by, of all people, Christopher Hitchens.  Among other things, Ford and Kissinger double-crossed the Kurds in Iraq also (is there any sleazy thing that has happened on the planet in the last thirty-eight years that Henry Kissinger didn't have a hand in?). 
 
Peace, 
 
Alex Walker
