President Bush Knows the True Reasons He Started A War in Iraq, But He's Not Going to Tell

By Jason Leopold

Every year, right around the anniversary of 9/11 the Bush administration spins the public about the reasons 1,864 American soldiers have died fighting for a lie in Iraq. And every year, it’s just as crucial that the media tell the public the truth about the reasons the war was started.

So here goes.

The disinformation campaign the White House launched last weekend should leave no doubt that the war in Iraq was hatched well before 9/11 and is part of a broader strategy to remake the entire Middle East into a so-called Pax Americana, a blueprint drafted by hardcore neoconservatives years ago that called for overthrowing Middle East dictators and installing U.S. approved governments in the region.

It’s entirely likely that the administration will attempt to sell Congress and the public another war in the near future, the next likely target being Iran. How else should we interpret the following statement Bush made in Idaho Monday, during a speech he made to Veterans of Foreign Wars?

“The third part of our strategy in the war on terror is to spread the hope of freedom across the broader Middle East,” Bush said.

As public support for the Iraq war erodes, President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney have taken their propaganda campaign on the road, once again linking the war in Iraq to the 9/11 terrorist attacks, in hopes that the administration can dramatically change perception of the military conflict in Iraq, even though a half-dozen federal investigations have concluded that Iraq played no role in 9/11.

2. Don't most dictators we install to insure our interests

eventually end up turning against our interests in any case? Look at Saddam, Osama, Noriega (I think.... I might be wrong).

3. nonsense

christ, bush has basically destroyed the us economy; he's made it likely a true change in regime would see exposure of all sorts of crap regarding the PLANNED THEFT OF 2000 election, whether by neo cons or by the aryan nation (lol), the activity of the 'plunge protection team' in helping bush by passing the costs of the bimbo's mad schemes onto the future, and the total corruption of the western news media (which everybody has seen) ...saying the entire exercise had an objective that were geopolitical in nature dodges the plain fact bush hasn't a shred of legal authority (if bush does, then so did ted bundy)
beware the goddam mediawhores: they always got an explanation.

4. As usual, Jason delivers

Just think about this:

In his inaugural address on January 20, 2001 President Bush also alluded to the possibility of war, although he did not mention Iraq by name.

“We will confront weapons of mass destruction, so that a new century is spared new horrors,” Bush said. “The enemies of liberty and our country should make no mistake … We will defend our allies and our interests.”

6. There is no god ...

but the mighty gods that run this country. They deserve worship and offerings for allowing us to be in the presence of their mighty selves. Jesus is dead. He died thousands of years ago. Bush the christ is here now and leading his chosen people, Americans, to the great glory that we so richly deserve. All hail the mighty Bush!
Hail! Hail! Heil!
