Accepting the Truth
Now that Americans are finally beginning to accept that there are no Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq, it’s time to accept the rest of the truth. The Administration made up the whole story because they wanted to go to war. Don’t believe me?
In Brittain, scandal is sweeping the nation over a leaked memo that revealed Tony Blair and George Bush were planning to attack Iraq, and were determined to manufacture a reason to go to war because there was no legal reason to attack.
A highly classified British memo, leaked in the midst of Britain’s just-concluded election campaign, indicates that President Bush decided to overthrow Iraqi President Saddam Hussein by summer 2002 and was determined to ensure that U.S. intelligence data supported his policy.
The document, which summarizes a July 23, 2002, meeting of British Prime Minister Tony Blair with his top security advisers, reports on a visit to Washington by the head of Britain’s MI-6 intelligence service.
In fact, George Bush’s cabinet members were planning the Iraq war before Bush even became president. Long before they became cabinet members.
During the Clinton administration:
(a)… right-wing policy group called Project for the New American Century, or PNAC – affiliated with Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rumsfeld’s top deputy Paul Wolfowitz and Bush’s brother Jeb – even urged then-President Clinton to invade Iraq back in January 1998.
“We urge you to… enunciate a new strategy that would secure the interests of the U.S. and our friends and allies around the world,” stated the letter to Clinton, signed by Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, and others. “That strategy should aim, above all, at the removal of Saddam Hussein’s regime from power.” (Full Text of the letter)
Most of the fellas who drafted that letter were just regular working class rich business tycoons back then.
Now that their man has been elected president, most of them occupy the most powerful jobs in our government.
Here’s a fun game:
Read the Statement of Principles for the New American Century. Now Google the names of the authors at the bottom of the page.
Where are they now?
