BUSH AND CHENEY LYING ON IRAQ
When will Bush, Cheney, and his White House stop spinning and lying about Bush’s war in Iraq?
On Aug. 21, 2006, Bush alleged at a news conference that Saddam "had relations with Zarqawi." However, a 2005 CIA report concluded Saddam's government "did not have a relationship, harbor or even turn a blind eye toward Zarqawi and his associates." Hussein actually considered Zarqawi an enemy and not a friend. This was detailed in a new Senate report released a few days ago. As have been illustrated by numerous investigation by the CIA, FBI, and Congress, no weapons of mass destruction ever existed in Iraq and there were no ties to al Qaeda or 9/11.
The facts are plan and simple: Bush distorted and manipulated intelligence to place fear in Americans to support his illegal invasion of Iraq (e.g. uranium form Africa, weapons-of mass destruction), continues to falsely claim Hussein had ties to al qaeda and 9/11, Bush failed to plan for post war chaos and insurgency in Iraq, resulting in the deaths of over 2600 Americans and nearly 125,000 innocent Iraqis and costing over $300 billion, Bush portrays all is well in Iraq while his military Officers paint a gloomy picture in Iraq of instability and chaos.
America is seeing the first warning signs---sectarian violence and increasing American war crimes-- of a U.S. military occupation in Iraq trapped in a war with no clear mission, fruitless civilian leadership (Bush and Rumsfeld) and no exit.
