NYT prints today an Intelligence Memo from the Brits, recently made public in a book, "Lawless World, by Phillip Sands, that on Jan. 31, 2003, in a meeting with Prime Minister Blair, that Bush had made up his mind to go to war in Iraq.
This was not only before approaching the UN (which was apparently just and attempt at window dressing) BUT even before the ongoing UN weapons inspections were done.
All their empty words about threats, patriotism, security were, and continue to be, lies and a betrayal of the American people, the UN and the world we claim to protect and care about.
The same report indicates the Vice-President and his "democracy through the barrel of a gun" cohort were pushing for this war from Day One, their first day in office.
The White House said today, in response to this revelation of deception, that "We should not attempt to rewrite history."
In fact, history is often rewritten as more and more facts come out; history is also rewritten by the shifting viewpoints of time or politics; and that more versions of history exist than that approved by the White House.
The more disturbing fact is the consistent White House attempt and the attempts of the rampant right-wing media to shout people down, shut people up; (as they did back in the disputed 2004 elections).
History is not written in one day or one day after the fact. Nobody is "rewriting" history to bring out the truth of these government deceptions; the true history is finally coming out.
Now, with the same lies, they want to march us off into Iran. Even if Iran was an immediate threat (which I don't believe), who would believe them.
Or North Korea. Can we go and fight them now.
And what about the renewed efforts to make us fear our old Cold War enemies of Russia and China?
Gosh..it seems like we are surrounded by 'Evil Doers,' everywhere. And we still have to bring democracy to oil-rich Niger, and get rid of Chazev.
It's a tough job 'keep the peace." Of course, we don't need no stinkin' badges,
