When did America meet the definition of a fascist state?

22. Perhaps when George H W Bush lied American into war on Iraq.

In the lie-up to war, even the Kuwait ambassador's daughter was called to perjure before Congress.

The nice young person said she was a nurse at a Kuwaiti City hospital who saw the Iraqi soldiers take babies from their incubators and leave them on the cold, hard floor so they could take the healthcare war booty for Baghdad.



"If I wanted to lie, or if we wanted to lie, if we wanted to exaggerate, I wouldn't use my daughter to do so. I could easily buy other people to do it." -- Kuwait Ambassador

The public interest also was perked up when Poppy and the Pentagon came out and said the spy satellite photos showed Saddam massing his tanks next to our Saudi oil fields. What really got to the People in '90, though, was the claim Saddam had WMDs and was planning to nuke the USA.

The buy-partisan nature of money-trumps-peace was made clear when Madeleine Albright, at the time the nation's ambassador to the United Nations, was asked on 60 Minutes:

Lesley Stahl on U.S. sanctions against Iraq: We have heard that a half million children have died. I mean, that's more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?

Secretary of State Madeleine Albright: [font color="red"]I think this is a very hard choice, but the price--we think the price is worth it.[/font color]

Maybe it's just us, grasswire, but I think the price of all the oil in the world, and all the oil that's been sold, and all the oil that will be sold, cannot equal the value of one human life.
