Tuesday, November 08, 2005 Toronto Star Bitchslaps Bush on Iraq War Lies Read this from the TorontoStar. Holy Jesus on a moped... if only our US corporate media had the balls to call a spade a spade: "If Bush had announced, prior to invading Iraq, that his motive was to seize Iraq's oil, to enhance Israel's power or to ensure US military dominance of the Middle East, none of these justifications would have satisfied the public. Hence the need for a cover story, something sufficiently alarming to convince Americans there was an urgent need to go to war. Claims that Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein harboured WMDs seemed the best bet. Concocting a cover story of this magnitude is not easy. But then the US govt is not w/out resources. Enter Dick Cheney, a group of war-hawks, and Scooter Libby... furnishing "evidence" of Saddam's non-existent arsenal." Yes indeedy... enter the evil cabal of chickenhawk fabricators... and 2000+ dead soldiers/ 15000+ wounded later, the lies still spin. |
