Las Vegas Sun OpEd: Bush a fear-mongering liar.

[Bluebear]

On the fifth anniversary of the Iraq war, new national polls show that nearly 66 percent of the American people do not believe President Bush when he says progress in the country has been worth the cost in lives and money. They have good reasons for believing that way...

And what tangible result does the United States have to show for itself after so much sacrifice? That’s a hard question to answer.

Iraq’s government, which is leaning toward Iran, cannot yet even begin to cope with the country’s many crises, including the ongoing sectarian bloodletting. Even Bush and our military leaders say 150,000 U.S. troops must remain indefinitely in Iraq and in harm’s way to prevent a complete collapse of order.

Five years ago Bush engaged in fear mongering to promote his desire to invade Iraq. Now he’s in denial, at least publicly, about what he has wrought. On Wednesday he said, “The battle in Iraq is noble, it is necessary, it is just.”

Yes, and Saddam Hussein was plotting to attack America with weapons of mass destruction.
