Thank goodness we have a “straight-shooter” in the white house who fesses up to the American people:
Officials inside government and advisers outside told ABCNEWS the administration emphasized the danger of Saddam's weapons to gain the legal justification for war from the United Nations and to stress the danger at home to Americans.
"We were not lying," said one official. "But it was just a matter of emphasis."
Officials now say they may not find hundreds of tons of mustard and nerve agents and maybe not thousands of liters of anthrax and other toxins. But U.S. forces will find some, they say. On Thursday, President Bush raised the possibility for the first time that any such Iraqi weapons were destroyed before or during the war.
If weapons of mass destruction were not the primary reason for war, what was?
So much for telling the truth - and this is not a simple matter of an illicit blowjob. (Of course they couldn't quite bring themselves to telling the truth about their lies... they only exaggerated.)
So when do the impeachment proceedings begin?
What about the rule of law??
What will we tell the children???
And, while we’re at it, what was the reason for the war?
Unbelievably the reporters go right back to the same people who just told that, basically, we lie to you (the press) and the American people to get what we want!
What is the answer from the lying dirt-bags this time?
They wanted a “perfect target” for a “show of force.”
Basically a US taxpayer funded commercial for Junior as a “determined man of action.”
The Bush administration wanted to make a statement about its determination to fight terrorism. And officials acknowledge that Saddam had all the requirements to make him, from their standpoint, the perfect target.
(The sources also confess that it didn’t hurt that Iraq is a “prime location” in the oil-rich Middle East.)
And why were they able to do orchestrate a war to boost Bush’s popularity? Because of 9/11 “changed everything.”
So a war, death, an occupation, the virtual destruction of the system of alliances that have helped keep America strong and respected, and the submarining of the war on terror, etc., etc. – why? – all so Junior could seem strong, determined and proactive.
This is corruption on a far grander scale than mere thievery or graft (the type most familiar from American history).
This corruption in the sense of the word when used by Thucydides or Machiavelli – the deliberate abuse of government resources though policies designed solely to further individual political careers. In other words corruption on such a scale involves the complete inversion of what government is all about – using public power to further the standing of a few private individuals.
Welcome to the reign of the “Mayberry Machiavellis.”
