Bush and an advisor in a stratgey session.
Looks like we’ll soon be headed into Iran.
The hysteria about possible nukes in the hands of the Iranians has been building and building in the past few weeks.
The Bush administration has been making a much more subtle case than they did with Iraq – drawing the “bad” news out slowly, trying to shape public opinion, making it so the public can only make one conclusion: that Iran has nuclear weapons and it’s the United States’ job to go in there and disarm them – to save the world from the Iranian menace.
Bush, a true schizophrenic, in one breath termed the idea of invading Iraq “ridiculous,” and then flatly stated the US was “keeping all options open.”
Talk about mixed messages.
One small problem with all this: can you say WMD? In the words of President Ronald Reagan, “There they go again!”
Although no one apparently remembers it, our invasion of Iraq was almost wholly based on the fact that Bush assured us that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction and that he was preparing to use them against the Free World. The United States was forced to invade Iraq to protect all us freedom-loving sorts from imminent destruction.
Okay. So exactly how many weapons of Mass Destruction did we fond in Iraq? Don’t all raise your hands at once.
That’s right. None. Zero. Zip.
Oppsie daisy…
The really amazing thing is that Bush and his buddies have successfully pushed this fact aside.
“Well, Jeeze… Saddam was gonna develop WMD’s real soon. And he was a very very, bad man. So even if we screwed up and miscalculated about the WMD’s, it was still okay to invade Iraq.”
And people, by and large, have bought this tripe.
Like PT Barnum once said, “…there’s one born every minute.”
So now here we are and the administration is hyping Iran as the next big bogeyman with WMD’s.
Does anyone seriously believe the administration’s intelligence data on Iran is better or more accurate now than it was prior to the Iraq invasion? Really?
I believe the administration is lying its ass off trying to further Bush’s vision of a US dominated Middle East. Like they did with Iraq, I believe they’re manipulating facts to suit their conclusion.
And that is dead wrong.
So how many more American lives are we going to spend in support of George Bush’s goal of world domination?
This has got to stop.
Wake up America. It’s time to bring the soldiers home, now.
