They tell loud lies, then whisper apologies

[Sticky]

ROBERT SCHEER Sept 21/03


It's hard to believe that it was just a slip of the tongue rather than a calculated lie when Deputy Defence Secretary Paul Wolfowitz sullied the memory of those who died on 9/11 by exploiting their deaths for propaganda purposes.

The brainwashing of Americans, two-thirds of whom believe Saddam Hussein was behind the attacks, is too effective a political ploy for the Bush regime to suddenly let the truth get in the way.

"We know (Iraq) had a great deal to do with terrorism in general and with Al Qaeda in particular and we know a great many of (Osama) bin Laden's key lieutenants are now trying to organize in co-operation with old loyalists from the Saddam regime," Wolfowitz told ABC on this year's 9/11 anniversary.

We know nothing of the sort, of course, and the next day Wolfowitz was forced to admit it.

Without this claim, the president's men would be revealed as imperial adventurers who wasted lives and resources to redraw the map of the world. That scheme, including "pre-emptive military intervention," can be traced to a Planning Guidance document prepared by Wolfowitz in 1992 when he was Dick Cheney's undersecretary of defence.

3. That link still didn't seem to work for me.

But you provided enough info for a Google-search. Here's one hit: http://www.robertscheer.com/

Thanks. The LIES are catching up with that little weasel, and when his so-called 60% of supporters wake up, they'll be screaming the loudest.

Edited to include: Yes, I LOVE that line also, and will be using it whenever appropriate. (Pretty often from now on, I think).
