Havana, Feb 1 (AIN) The threats, lies and war mongering schemes
presented by US President George W. Bush during his State of the
Union address were the focus of the analysis of the Cuban Prime Time
radio and TV program The Round Table on Wednesday.
Bush's speech was described by international news analysts in the
show as a total failure. According to information provided by the
panel, the results of the opinion polls taken immediately after Bush
ended his address to Congress showed that more than fifty percent of
the Americans rejected the written statement that he read.
Cuban top TV news analyst Eduardo Dimas explained that Bush's address
had been based on about two hundred drafts, focusing mainly on
supposed terrorist threats that serve to justify the internal
repression in progress in the United States of America. Bush bypassed
topics related to the social and economic hurdles through which
millions of American citizens are going in their daily struggle for
survival.
Dimas stated that Bush's words were of a very hypocritical nature in
an attempt to prepare public opinion for future wars of aggression,
which will be started under the umbrella of a terrorist menace that
will again justify the US policies.
During the Round Table it was also learned that moments before
President Bush's State of the Union speech, Cindy Sheehan had been
arrested by the police. Sheehan, who is the mother of an American
soldier that got killed in Iraq, reiterated that she will continue to
fight to the very end so that the war be terminated and all soldiers
return home.
Bush told Congress that during his mandate there will be no troop
withdrawals, despite the failure of the Iraq invasion, where 136,000
US soldiers form part of the occupation forces.
Granma daily newspaper director Lazaro Barredo who also took part in
the Round Table added that 90 percent of the people of Iraq, of
whatever political tendency or religion they may be, want a solution
to the US military presence. Meanwhile Bush rejected any possibility
of relinquishing the political, military and economic domination of
Iraq, a nation that is suffering terribly from the genocidal war
unleashed by the US government.
So far 2,243 American military men and women had died in the war,
though the Pentagon refuses to add to the list those who were
severely wounded and have died while undergoing medical treatment in
military hospitals in Europe and the US.
Meanwhile, the number of British soldiers that have died in Iraq
reached the 100 mark, unleashing severe criticism in the UK media.
Juventud Rebelde newspaper director Rogelio Polanco referred to how
Bush launched a direct verbal attack against Iran during his State of
the Union speech, reiterating false arguments and accusing the
Teheran government of wanting to use nuclear technology to build
weapons.
Polanco warned about the dangers involved in submitting the so-called
"Iran nuclear issue" to the United Nations Security Council, because
that will lead to a possible intervention, which has been rejected by
Iranian President Ahmadinejad. It is maintained by Ahmadinejad that
his nation has the right to access the technology for peaceful
purposes, just as many other nations do.
Polanco affirmed that Bush is trying to create propaganda aimed at
the upcoming mid-term elections to take place in November, therefore
he carefully avoided mentioning topics that connect his
administration to corruption scandals in which members of Congress
and companies related to the administration are deeply involved.
Cuban TV journalist Reinaldo Taladrid analyzed how for the first time
ever the president of the United States admitted that his nation is
"addicted to oil", and "having to deal with criticism about the oil
promoted war" stated that there is a need to search for alternative
forms of energy.
Taladrid provided information about the huge profits being realized
by the oil giants, the rapid rise in the price of oil, and
highlighted the fact that the United States is now far behind in
research efforts aimed at the development of alternative energy
sources.
During The Round Table, Lazaro Barredo analyzed the difficult social,
healthcare and educational situation that the American people have to
deal with, while the nation is spending $500 billion on weapons.
There are no less than 46 million people, 39 percent of whom are
Latino, who have no healthcare insurance despite what George W.
Bush promised years ago.
Randy Alonso, the moderator of The Round Table reported that 39
billion dollars of the upcoming budget were cut today by the House of
Representatives, basically in the areas of healthcare and education,
something that will have a devastating impact among lower-income
people.
Alonso concluded that the US president's State of the Union message
while newly crafted had nothing but electoral aims and the desire
to continue imposing the same old militarist policies which are
running into ever-growing opposition worldwide.
