Nicely Put ....

I couldn't have stated it better than Pissed on Politics:

I guess things do need to be repeated as President Bush would say to "catapult the propaganda". No matter how often it is said and no matter how much the evidence mounts some people, approximately 35% of this nation, refuse to acknowledge that President Bush misled our nation into War with Iraq.

What's worse, these people want to excuse the actions of President Bush with a simple "look at all the good we are doing in Iraq" or "have we been attacked yet since 9/11"? These are right wing mantras some people chant to themselves which a few people are actually starting to believe even though they are blatant lies.

We did not go to Iraq to spread freedom and democracy.

It is not better to "fight'em over there so we don't fight'em here".

Only 6% of the insurgents in Iraq are foreign fighters. We are not fightening'em in Iraq. Most of "them" are not in Iraq. We are fighting Iraqis who want us out of their country.

Iraq and Saddam had no links to Al Qaeda

Iraq and Saddam was not an imminent threat to the United States

Iraq and Saddam had no WMD

President Bush manipulated intelligence and masterfully used propaganda to win support for his war.

The Iraqis don't want a Democracy, they want a Theocracy. So where does that leave us? Fighting for the creation of an Islamic State? Is that the objective?

We are never leaving Iraq. The truth is the United States could care less about establishing a democracy in Iraq. All we want are permanent military installations in the Middle East. Iraq was the easiest target. Saudi Arabia would not allow us to keep our military in their country. Turkey will not allow us to have air bases in their country.

Bush and the NeoCons went to Iraq to establish a permanent military foothold in the Middle East. Iraq was the easiest target to justify.

Iraq will not have a democracy. Iraq will most likely be split into two if not three countries. In the best case scenario these Iraqi States will be peaceful and we will have our military outposts there.

In the worst case a civil war will break out with our troops caught in the middle. We will be driven out of Iraq and not even be able to keep our muli-million dollar military bases.

$2 Trillion dollars and countless thousands of lives will be all for not.

But don't you worry about it; Bush is doing a heckuva job.
