He's at it again. Bush is saying specifically that we are in Iraq because we were attacked on 9/11.


How often can he drag out this old lie? The only grain of truth in that claim is that the terrorist attacks of 9/11 gave Bush his excuse to cloak an already planned invasion of Iraq in the fear of his newly-formed war on terrorism.

He's dragging out the old lie of a relationship between his attack on Iraq and the 9/11 attacks in hopes of regaining his drooping approval ratings. We must keep the truth out there. We can write to publications and sign petitions. For example, MoveOn.org still has Rep. Conyers' Tell The Truth letter up to sign. I believe he's aready presented it with the 500,000 signatures, but more won't hurt.

The fact is that this President used the intelligence community to bolster his personal plans for empire building. Sounds exactly like the administration of Richard Nixon. Nixon used the intelligence community to improve his chances for election and reelection. George W Bush has manipulated the intelligence community to apply the military force of our country and to force his will on the Middle East.

Nixon had to resign to avoid facing impeachment and likely removal from office. It is one thing to enact wrong policy, but quite another thing to lie to Congress and the American people in general.
