Bush's Global War FOR Terrorism
By Jihad el Khazen
October 13, 2005

On the steps of the Grand Serail in Beirut about 30 years ago, the Lebanese Prime Minister told a group of journalists, of whom I was one, the following: "You say that I'm a liar. Go see what Yasser Arafat has done." The Prime Minister then told us the details of the big lie that the Palestinian leader had told him.

In the evening, some of us went to the PLO's headquarters and told the story to Arafat, who thought for a bit and then said, "I'm ready to kill for the sake of Palestine; you want me not to lie?"

The Lebanese Prime Minister was lying in order to protect his position, and Arafat always lied due to his weakness vis-à-vis his key issue (Palestine). However technologically-advanced, it is lies that are being issued by the Bush Administration these days. The Americans are more advanced than us in everything, including the art of blending issues so that the truth is lost.

And the lying is in regard to just about everything. I was surprised the other day by the commotion caused by Nabil Shaath in remarks to a British television program, when he said that Bush told a Palestinian delegation in 2003 that "God would tell me, 'George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan.' And I did, and then God would tell me, 'George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq …' And I did.”
