The Iraq War was NOT a mistake.

[madamesilverspurs]

It was a DELIBERATE lie.


The only "mistake" is the continuing refusal to acknowledge the difference.

1. exactly!!!!

2. Yes it was, is, and forever will be, a DELIBERATE lie!

I think someday Cheney will admit it because he really is proud of his role in the war and doesn't care that they had to lie to get us in it. His pride would show if there was one interviewer worth 2 cents who could get that out of him. But, with the corporate media complicate in the big lie, it'll never happen...

3. It was actually an overwhelming success, for a select few. Every one of our guys killed was worth

a million bucks or so to them.

4. W and Cheney even set up a separate unit in the CIA dedicated to NOT accepting

facts and twisting everything so they could make it look like their lie was true.

I forget what it was called, but they had to do this as most analysis was saying the opposite of what they wanted to hear.

Then two weeks before invading their PRIMARY SOURCE OF INTEL nicknamed "Curveball" was proven to have been LYING about EVERYTHING and he was the source for almost ALL of what Colin presented to the UN

But with that knowledge, that there was indeed NO WMD, at all, they invaded anyway, proving it was NEVER about WMD

Guilty of mass murder they are.

5. Richard Clarke TOLD us the truth. So sad he is forgotten here on DU.

No one mentions his name, or his book, or his interviews anymore. I for one am offended that he has been forgotten for telling the TRUTH when it was to be condemned for it. Like George Ball 40 years before, we forget those who should be our heroes, and who saw unnecessary and immoral war, and tried to stop it.

8. the biggest part of the biggest lie

thanks for hewing to the truth.
for want of truth and justice, the Bush Familia walks free.
who is truly responsible for this, their Republicans or
our Democratic misleaders?
