February 28, 2011 - We will soon see the eighth anniversary of the US-led invasion of Iraq. That anniversary should remind us that the Iraq war has claimed many lives and permanently damaged many more. It is not clear when this war and occupation, or the war in Afghanistan, will ever end. What is clear is that the Iraq War was built entirely on lies and that painful fact grows clearer with each passing year. It is no longer possible for honest people to suggest that the false claims made to start this war were just a string of misunderstandings, which brings to mind an important question.
One of the two original justifications for invading Iraq was that Iraq was linked to al-Qaeda and the attacks of September 11. Vice President Dick Cheney made such claims on several occasions. But the truth was that Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with al-Qaeda or 9/11 and he was distrustful of that elusive organization. It was later reported by the US Senate Intelligence Committee that Hussein denied all requests to provide material or operational support to al-Qaeda, and that Cheney’s claims were all false.[1] {continued}
In 2003 some 72% of Americans fully supported the Abandoning of the Missions and those Sent to Accomplish so extremely Quickly after 9/11!!At least some 95%, if not more as less then 1% serve them, not only still support the, just below, total lack of Sacrifice, they ran from any and all Accountability and left everything still on the table to be continually used if the political/military want was still in play in future executive/legislative wants!!
DeJa-Vu: “With no shared sacrifices being asked of civilians after Sept. 11", Decades and War From, All Over Again!!
