The Iraq war is not the first time the US gouv. has tricked the Americans. This first time was the beginning of the US-Spanish War when a US battleship commander (I can't remember his name but if you want it I will search for it) attached another US battleship destoying it and said that they had been attached by the Spaniards.
Then there was Pearl Harbour where many Americans were killed, all this was orchestrated by FDR because he wanted and excuse to enter the war:

Then there is Iraq where the US administration again used the death of innocent Americans together with propaganda to convience the people that they should sacrifice there love ones.
US soldiers are the ones dying at the whim of a self gratifying gouv. that wants its name to go down in history as fighting for the people. Of course there are be writers who will right not the whole truth but will
further the propaganda into the future as has been done with past history.
When I see things like this I get p.........sed off. I am wandering if our Canadian gouv. is not doing a snowjob on us as well. Unless I missed it they never told us when the mission in Afghanistan changed or we never noticed. We will have to be much more alert, ask more questions and not blindly believe our politicans at face value.
