How Cheney's people Created False INtelligence to justify invading IRAQ
Some good research at this site. MSM never brings this up. They need to be emailed and reminded what they keep leaving out of the news.

Bush and Cheney keep repeating the big lie of "Faulty INtelligence" (it wasn't OUR fault). MSM doesn't talk about this as it would show Bush/Cheney are flat lieing about "faulty intelligence".

Office of Special Plans

In the days after September 11 terrorist attacks, Paul Wolfowitz and Douglas Feith started cooking intelligence to meet the needs of the radically new foreign and military policy that included regime change in Iraq as its top priority.

To bolster the Iraq war party, they needed intelligence that would persuade the U.S. public and policymakers that Saddam Hussein’s regime should be one of the first targets of the war on terrorism. Convinced that the CIA, Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), and the State Department would not provide them with type of alarmist threat assessments necessary to justify a preventive war, they created their own tightly controlled intelligence operation at the top levels of the Pentagon bureaucracy

1. Oil
It's all about oil and the all-mighty dollar so Bush's oil-buddies can make a few bucks at the expense of our soldiers' blood. Right?
