Iraq

This is something that I can’t even believe that we’re debating! Bush lied from the beginning about Iraq. It’s been proven that one of the first things that he asked when he got into office was “how can I get Saddam Hussein?”.

Somehow he convinced the American public that Saddam was involved with Sept 11, despite no proof whatsoever. Yes, Saddam was a bad man and was a horrible dictator, and I’m sure eventually the Iraqi people will be better off without him (although, obviously, there are many, many, many better ways of removing a dictator than invading the country), but there are lots of evil dictators all over the world and we are not attacking their countries.

Bush ignored the UN, the weapons inspectors, and all proof and common sense, and told Saddam that we will attack unless he shows us his WMDs! Big surprise – he couldn’t do that, because, as he told us, he did not have any! This is like pulling a gun on an unarmed man, telling him you will shoot unless he hands over his gun and when he says he doesn’t have one, you pull your trigger!

Worst of all, Bush did not really plan out anything, and now we are embroiled in a continuing conflict, with no exit strategy and more and more people dying every day, and more and more billions of our dollars being spent every week.

So, apparently, our way of looking for the man responsible for the Sept 11 tragedy is by attacking a country that has no ties to this person whatsoever! Wonderful logic!

Now, even Cheney & Powell cannot distinguish between the truth and their long list of lies. One person says there is no connection between 9/11 and Iraq and the other says that there is a connection! Look, we all know the truth – just admit it! This administration would have a lot more respect if they would stop telling us obvious, bold-faced lies!
