Ion Mihal Pacepa wrote an article in the Wall Street Journal August 7,2007, that should be the basis of a history class. He was not lucky to be born in America, but last July 28 he celebrated 29 years being an American citizen. Jimmy Carter signed his request for political asylum, when he escaped from Romania with two death sentences on his head.
He tells how it was his job to guide the intelligence community to hate and discredit American Presidents. It began right after WW11, when President Truman set up NATO. They used the reawakening in Europe to shift their hatred for Hitler over into hatred for Truman. They labeled him the new occupation power. The communist financed the leftist movement, he said they were like putty in their hands. It didn't take long to turn them around, they started beating their drums that President Truman was the "butcher of Hiroshima." His job with the KGB did not end there. They continued to smear other presidents. Eisenhower as a war-mongering "shark" run by the military. Johnson as the mafia boss who had bumped off his predecessor. Nixon as a petty tyrant, Ford as a dimwitted football player and Jimmy Carter as a bumbling peanut farmer.
He told how they spread vitriolic stories around the world, pretending that America's presidents sent GenghisKhan-style barbarian soldiers to Vietnam who raped at random,cut off limbs, blew up bodies and other atrocities. Yuri Andropov who dreamed up this plan said the U.S,. Citizens are more willing to believe smut than holiness.
Unlike Senator John Kerry, Pacepa tells because of their success, and the U.S. pulled out of Vietnam, which allowed the communist to massacred millions of people. This lingers till today, American creditability gap between America and the rest of the world.
He says competition drives the engine fore ward, with the American dream, but unity in time of war has made America the leader of the world. He says we are again at war, it is not the presidents war but America's war, authorized by 296 house members and 76 senators. He said he feels if the Dems, and Rep. would join together as they did during WW11. America would win.
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi predicted before he was killed,"We fight today in Iraq, tomorrow in the land of the Holy Places, and after there in the West."
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown thanked President Bush for leading the global war on terror, he said the world owes the U.S. for its leadership in this fight against international terrorism.
Pacepa worked in the Soviet-bloc intelligence community, at a top level. He knows of what he speaks, he can not believe such hate is directed at the President from political leaders in our own country. Europe and other countries make up their opinion by what is said here in the U.S. He feels we should return to the traditions of presidents who accepted nothing short of unconditional surrender from out deadly enemies.
He wrote a book "Programmed to Kill:Lee Harvey Oswald, the Soviet KGB and the Kennedy Assassination. I wrote John Kerry and told him I thought it would be a good idea if he read the article, since some of his tales sounded like the propaganda that was spread by the communist. It is well worth looking up to read.
