Knight Rider: Murder and Plunder Mean Honors for Armitage
Chris Floyd
April 25, 2006
Richard Armitage: First in war, first in subversion, first in the hearts of someone else's countrymen.
For his outstanding service in leading America and Britain into an illegal war of aggression
that has murdered hundreds of thousands of innocent people in Iraq, as
well as his heroic role in running guns and money to the dope-dealing
terrorist bands that sought to overthrow the legitimate government of
Nicaragua, Richard Armitage has been secretly knighted by Queen
Elizabeth Deuce, as the Guardian reports today:
"Honoured
with a KCMG [Knight Commander of St. Michael and St. George, second
highest rank of British knighthood] is Richard Armitage, deputy
secretary of state under Colin Powell between 2001 and 2005 and a
leading player in rallying diplomatic support for the Iraq invasion. Mr
Armitage's role in the Iran-contra arms smuggling scandal was
controversial enough to prevent him becoming army secretary in 1989. He
worked alongside Oliver North to trade arms to Iran illegally and
siphon profits to the Nicaraguan contra rebels."
"[Armitage] is
one of 100 non-UK citizens honoured since last May who are named in a
list released by the Foreign Office after a parliamentary question from
the Liberal Democrat MP Norman Baker. Unlike honours to UK citizens,
those for foreigners are not generally announced..."
If
Armitage gets this kind of gilded wheeze for mere minioning in some of
the most murderous operations of the past half-century, then great
googily-moogily, what's George W. going to get, when he retires, for
actually being the trigger-man for the world-convulsing killing spree
in Iraq? Not to mention his relentless and ruthless gutting of the U.S.
Constitution? What honor would suffice for this sterling service? No
mere knighthood or baronage will do; Lizzie will have to adopt him into
the royal family or something, name him heir to the throne.
After
all, his whole life's work has been aimed at overthrowing the American
Revolution and restoring feudal rule by aristocrats, warlords,
religious cranks and simpering courtiers. Why not just bring the whole
thing full circle back to Buckingham Palace?
