Exploiting 9/11

As we all know from Paul O'Neill, from day one, George Bush had his sights on invading Iraq. He just needed to prepare the people for war. Then came September 11th, a blank check for the neo-cons. They could justify anything after 9/11. All they had to do was play on the people's fear. This is what they will again be doing this Sunday when they sponsor a march from the Pentagon to the Mall for a concert to be beamed to the troops in Iraq. Clint Black will sing his lie of a song, "Iraq and Roll" that ties Saddam to 9/11, even though the shameful attacks on 9/11 were carried out by his enemies.
Once again, on Sunday, the Bush administration will be exploiting 9/11 to justify a war that there is no justification for. A war based on lies and evidence fixed to meet the policy. A war that accomplished many of Osama bin Laden's goals.
1. Iraq is moving toward becoming a theocracy.
2. Ibrahim Jaafari, the new Iraqi Prime Minister, has strong ties to hard line clerics in Iran.
3. Al Qaeda is growing in Iraq and throughout the region.
The American people may be wising up to the deception of the Bush administration. They are grasping at straws now to regain support for the war. They are now even admitting that they need to protect the oil. Let us all hope that the people don't buy into this charade and that we reject the latest attempt to exploit our fears.
