Weapons Of Mass Destruction Fraud Admitted by BUSH


THIS IS HUGE!!I think this is bigger news than the big three issue. Having George Bush admit that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and if he had it to do over ...we would not have gone to war. Here is the transcript from the interview with Charlie Gibson
...."Bush: The biggest regret of all the presidency has to have been the intelligence failure in Iraq. A lot of people put their reputations on the line and said, you know ... the weapons of mass destruction is a reason to remove Saddam Hussein. It wasn't just people in my administration, and um ... You know, that's not a do-over, but I wish the intelligence had been different, I guess.
Gibson: If the intelligence had been right, would there have been an Iraq war?
Bush: If he had had weapons of mass destruction, would there have been a war? Absolutely.
Gibson: No, if you had known he didn't.
Bush: Oh, I see what you're saying. Uh ... You know, that's an interesting question. That is a do-over I can't do. It's hard for me to speculate."


I have watched listened to many many very knowledgable people try and justify invading Iraq from the WMD perspective....which is the only legitamate possible reason. Those who fall back on "Saadam needed to be removed", "he was evil", or "we must liberate and bring democracy to those poor people" are the the religous right wingnuts that show up at Palin rally's yelling "Nigger", "Arab",and "drill baby drill", and like a crack head they see a terrorist on every corner.

"(CBS) In the aftermath of Sept. 11, President Bush ordered his then top anti-terrorism adviser to look for a link between Iraq and the attacks, despite being told there didn't seem to be one. "
Bush really threw a lot of his more intelligent supporters under the Bus with his "do over theory". The list of Bush insiders like Cheney,Powell,Condoleeza,Rumsfeld..etc. etc who stood up promising evidence of WMD's, Proof positive! Time went on and ...NADA,ZIP,Goose Egg.


I LOVE THIS ONE...CHENEY BUSTED!!



THIS IS SUCH OLD NEWS....BUT...WILL HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF???



WhO IS NEXT....IRAN, CHAVEZ AND VENEZUELA, INDIA, PAKISTAN, TURKEY, RUSSIA...YOU?
WAR IS BUSINESS ARE YOU GETTING YOUR CUT??

You are being lied to right now....have you figured it out yet??

In Final Days, Bush Pushes for Iraq's Oil

As the Bush administration rumbles to an end, it is pushing with increasing urgency for a commitment to a long-term US presence in Iraq. Though the military aspect of this "commitment" has garnered substantial publicity, the administration is equally invested in the economic aspect: securing US control over Iraqi oil before Bush leaves office, according to experts in the field. source

Remember Veterans Day


Talk-show host Phil Donahue, a graduate of St. Edward High School in Lakewood, is the co-writer, director and producer of the documentary "Body of War,'' which the Sundance Channel will air at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 11, to recognize Veterans Day.

Winner of the National Board of Review award for best documentary, the film explores the experience of Iraq War veteran Tomas Young, whose spine was severed by a sniper's bullet within a week of arriving in Iraq. The injury left him paralyzed for life at age 25.

Written and directed in partnership with Ellen Spiro, Donahue's "Body of War'' features two original songs written and performed by Eddie Vedder. The documentary follows Young as he returns home to Missouri, marries in August 2005 and begins the next chapter of his life as an outspoken member of Iraq Veterans Against the War.

G.O.P. Donor Is Accused of Overcharging Pentagon


By JAMES GLANZ and MICHAEL LUO
Published: October 16, 2008
The Democratic chairman of a House investigative committee presented documents to the Pentagon on Thursday charging that a top Republican fund-raiser, Harry Sargeant III, made tens of millions of dollars in profits over the last four years because his contracting company vastly overcharged for deliveries of fuel to American air bases in Iraq.

S.V. Date/Palm Beach Post
Harry Sargeant III is the finance chairman of the Florida Republican Party.
In a written statement on Thursday, a lawyer for Mr. Sargeant, who is the finance chairman of the Florida Republican Party and a major fund-raiser for Senator John McCain’s presidential campaign, called the allegations “deeply disappointing” and asserted that they were not supported by the facts.

The contracting company, called the International Oil Trading Company, or I.O.T.C., was briefly in the news over the summer when a former partner filed a lawsuit against Mr. Sargeant in a Florida circuit court.

The former partner, a Jordanian named Mohammad al-Saleh, is a brother-in-law of King Abdullah II of Jordan. The court papers laid out his assertion that he obtained special governmental authorizations for the company to transport the fuel through Jordan and was then unlawfully forced out by Mr. Sargeant, who strongly disputed those allegations.
