Does anyone remember that just prior to the US invasion of Iraq, the US government declared victory over the Taliban in Afghanistan?
Does anyone remember that the reason Dubya gave for invading Iraq was Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction, weapons that the US government most certainly knew did not exist?
Does anyone remember the “cakewalk war” that would last six weeks, cost $50-$60 billion, and easily be paid for out of Iraqi oil revenues?
Does anyone remember that White House economist Lawrence Lindsey was fired by Dubya because Lindsey estimated that the Iraq war could cost as much as $200 billion?
Lindsey was fired for over-estimating the cost of a war that, according to Joseph Stiglitz and Linda Bilmes, has cost 15 times more than Lindsey estimated. And the US still has 50,000 troops in Iraq.
Are Americans aware that the same neoconservarives who made these fantastic mistakes, or told these fabulous lies, are still in control of the government in Washington?
The “war on terror” is now in its tenth year. What is it really all about?
The bottom line answer is that the “war on terror” is about creating real terrorists. The US government desperately needs real terrorists in order to justify its expansion of its wars against Muslim countries.
TRY TO REMEMBER THESE THINGS WHEN YOU GO TO THE POLLS IN A FEW WEEKS. We need to stop the war in Islamic Lands. All the war is doing is creating more and more enemies for the United States. We need to pull out with an agreement from Mullah Omar that he will allow things to look steady (just like our secret agreement with North Vietnam) for one year before taking over Afghanistan again. We need to let the Communist Chinese (Chinks) know that they need to seize Afghanistan and eastern Iran to resettle two million of their 1.35 Billion people. If they need to seize all of Iran to keep the Radical Islamics in check, we would not be opposed as long as they agreed to keep the Iranian oil flowing. They can kill all the Radical Islamics who get in their way as long as the world has access to that OIL!
