It’s come to my attention that the neo cons are still holding on to the canard about weapons of mass destruction being the reason we occupied Iraq. Wow, where have they been? Clinton et al, in pointing out that Sadam Husein was a cruel and dangerous dictator, gave the Bush cabal just enough impetus to use this information to ramp up the rhetoric that led to the occupation of Iraq, the killing of a million Iraqis, stealing what was left of our countries monies (not to mention borrowing from Communist countries and then stealing that), giving international oil companies a foothold in colonizing Iraq, and worst of all, throwing that region completely out of balance by taking out the country that was keeping Iran at bay. (Hopefully, we’ve stopped them from going to war with Iran, which was, and continues to be on the Neo Cons agenda).
What the new brand of Republicans (or Neo Cons) continue to ignore, is that there are ways of dealing with dictators that we deem cruel and dangerous besides occupying there countries, killing a million of their citizens and in the process, bankrupting ours. Especially, when at the time, we were in the middle of going after the cock suckers that brought down the World Trade Centers, attacked the Pentagon, and were on their way to the White House to disrupt our government and therefore our way of life here in America. Later on, after 9/11, in the fog of the secret government set up by Bush and Cheney, Democrats had only the neo cons fucking lies to rely on, and therefore had no other option then to believe and then react to their secret and private Intel. Later on, it was proven that the whole shebang was total and utter bullshit that has ended up costing America and Iraq dearly. Even Bush had to, at best, admit that he was lied to by the Italians regarding our reasons for going to war. (More on this subject on a future blog concerning how a phony letter became a case for war).
