George Bush Lies Are Responsible for Iraq War Casualties.George Bush attacked Iraq for colonization and not fighting terrorism. Back in 1998, the current Vice President, Sec. of Defense, Asst. Sec. of Defense, brother Jeb and other Bush 'neo-con' aides lobbied Congress and President Clinton for a more aggressive foreign policy in which an already weakened Iraq would be conquered and colonized to become a sphere of U.S. military dominance with four U.S. bases in the oil rich Middle East. Our military would then control the oil spigot upon which our EU rivals are dependant, thus explaining U.N. reluctance. We know that the Iraq war was discussed since Bush's first days in office and that Rumsfield said that they needed a Pearl Harbor to sell it to the American people. Then, just by eerie coincidence, the World Trade Center was struck and terrorism became the subterfuge for their war. It is suspicious that, even after enumerable warnings, the air force was stood down while three known hijacked airliners were unfettered for an hour inside the normally most protected corridor in the U.S. Also, it is unbelievable that the Pentagon could ever be hit. Furthermore, the FBI knew beforehand the attack would be soon, would involve airliners and the general area that would be targeted because they warned Ashcroft to stop flying commercial. The insurgents/terrorists killing and maiming young Americans were spawned and spurred to Iraq in response to Bush's preemptive attack and continued presence. With the course of the war and hatred for America both escalating, it is time to forego delusions of colonization and bring in the U.N. to replace our troops for stabilizing the country. We need some of those $Billions being squandered on Iraq to bolster our currently under funded homeland security. And, we need the reservists in Iraq to be sent home to protect our borders from terrorism. If we have another World Trade Center type attack, that blood will also be on Bush's hands.
