Beware America; the cabal currently in control of this country will risk everything to stay in power this coming fall. Put this away in the back of your mind and remember it well should any of the predictions in this article actually occur before the elections.
There is entirely too much money invested right now in these wars and events for the administration to allow it all to end. Have no doubt about it. Here is the problem for the Neocons right now, they didn’t foresee being this far along in the game and actually being behind Kerry. With each passing day, another lie is exposed and the administration is forced to double up their lies and rhetoric to try and assuage the populace and their power base.
Years ago we heard about how badly Bill Clinton parsed the English language with the actual meaning of the word “is”. Now what we see from Bush, is a far more ridiculous parsing, about a far more serious matter. To listen to the White House try to spin the 9-11 commission’s findings as being consistent with their positions of there being a relationship between Al Qaeda and Iraq is painful at best. The statement from the commission is as follows:
"We have no credible evidence that Iraq and Al Qaeda cooperated on attacks against the United States," it said. And there appears to have been no “collaborative relationship" between Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden.
Contrast this with the statements made by this administration over the past three years:
"Iraq has trained Al Qaeda members in bomb-making and poisons and deadly gases." - Bush in October 2002.
"Saddam Hussein aids and protects terrorists, including members of al Qaeda." - January 2003 State of the Union address.
"Iraq has also provided Al Qaeda with chemical and biological weapons training." - Bush in February 2003.
"sinister nexus between Iraq and the Al-Qaeda terrorist network." – Powell in his U.N. speech prior to the Iraq War.
"We have removed an ally of Al Qaeda." – Bush in May 2003.
Stated that the Iraqis were "providing bomb-making expertise and advice to the Al Qaeda organization." - Cheney in September 2003.
"Saddam had an established relationship with Al Qaeda, providing training to Al Qaeda members in the areas of poisons, gases, making conventional weapons." - Cheney in October 2003.
What we have is a clear-cut opposition in statements. All of the statements made by this administration regarding the “connection” are simply unproven. They are in direct opposition to the conclusions reached by the commission. Any clear-thinking individual realizes this. However, after this, we see the following statements:
Cheney said Saddam "had long established ties with Al Qaeda." - June 14, 2004.
Bush said, "The reason I keep insisting that there was a relationship between Iraq and Saddam and Al Qaeda, because there was a relationship between Iraq and Al Qaeda." - June 17, 2004.
What? Then Cheney smirkingly refers to the possibility of him having more information than the commission had, even though he testified before that commission. They then refer to the fact that Bin-Laden did in fact contact Iraq in the 90’s, and refer to that as confirmation to a connection, or a relationship. Never mind that Iraq never even responded to those overtures. If I sent a request to Sandra Bullock to get together and she never responded, I would be hard pressed to call that a relationship, let alone a connection, yet that is how desperate this administration has become.
It is this desperation that we all need to be very scared of. Mark these words, one of two scenarios may very well play out between now and Election Day. One, Osama Bin-Hiding will be caught, and Bush the conquering hero will be championed as justified in all of his actions. Of course, this has been my prediction for years; that Bin Laden has been in fact either cooperating or captured for some time and the Neocons are simply waiting for the right moment before the election to present him to the American people. Never mind that even if he was caught that doesn’t excuse the war profiteering, Valerie Plame, HMO’s being bought off, the environment being gutted, or any of the other problems this administration is directly responsible for. Just keep this article in mind if indeed Bin Laden is caught before the election and ask yourself one credible question. When was he really caught? Once this administration has been caught in so many lies, what is one more?
The second lie to be wary of, is another attack on American soil. I don’t mean to be doomsayer, but you cannot discount how helpful the last one was to the cause of the Neocons. The 9-11 attacks allowed Bush to essentially declare Martial Law, pass the Patriot Act, and move forward with two wars, which have now been proven to have had nothing to do with 9-11. If Bush is losing badly before the election, what better way of rallying the people than with a heinous act that everyone can rally around him over? If this does occur, remember this article well and ask yourself two credible questions. Who benefits from the attack and why did it happen when it did.
We all are afraid when we see these lies being exposed. When we see the truth about the yellowcake in the Niger, the alleged sarin, mustard gas and other weapons that didn’t exist, connections between Saddam and Bin Laden which do not exist, the outing of a CIA agent as retaliation, the gutting of our civil liberties and all of the other horrific lies being spun by this administration we should be afraid. Only one thing scares me more. If this administration does not fear lying to this extent, I am much more afraid of the lies yet to come.
