Bush Goes Around Media to Make Iraq Case
Mon Oct 13,10:29 AM ET Add White House - AP to My Yahoo!


WASHINGTON - President Bush, annoyed by what he considers the "filter" of news reporting, will seek to go around the press on Monday through television outlets that do not routinely cover the White House.

Bush was giving a series of interviews to make the case that the situation in Iraq is getting better.


The appearances are part of a week-old administration initiative against critics of the war and its aftermath. It's included speeches by Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and even first lady Laura Bush.


<snip>

Bush said that progress was coming as a result of his "clear strategy." But Democrats retorted, "The president did not plan well for winning the peace and rebuilding the nation."

1. YOUR TAXES. THEIR WARS.
YOUR TAXES. THEIR WARS.

They attack the oilcountries; they kill the people; they sieze control of the oil...

You pay for it with your taxes; soldiers and civilians pay with their lives; we all pay for it, with the increased hatred, instability and terrorism that are CAUSED by the so-called "war on terror".

The only winners are the super-rich political elite, with their dirty, bloodstained fingers in the oil and weapons industries.

It makes no difference who you vote for. Nobody gets into power without funding from the most powerful donors and lobbyists in the world: the oil lobby, the arms lobby, the Israel lobby. You can't compete with their money or their massive network of corruption.

After spending $billions of YOUR MONEY attacking Afghanistan & Iraq in order to sieze their oil, the British & American governments now want more of your money to fund and extend their crime-spree. Iran and Syria are next. Taxes in Britain and the United States will continue to rise as a result as they spend more of our money on more of their wars.

The Centgas pipeline, planned for Afghanistan long before September 11, is now going ahead, thanks to September 11 and the war on terror. Eleven countries forewarned the U.S. about the attacks. The FBI were watching the terrorists, who were known to be training as pilots. But the investigation was blocked at high levels. The U.S. oilgovernment said they needed regime change for the Centgas oil pipeline. After 9-11 they got that regime change. Many thousands more people died in Afghanistan than died in the Twin Towers. But their deaths were of no use to the U.S. propaganda machine. They were "unpeople".

The war in Iraq was declared officially over as soon as the oilfields were secure. Siezing the oilfields was the very first objective of the Operation Iraqi Liberation (OIL) groundwar. It was in fact the only real objective of attacking Iraq. Again, regime change in Iraq was planned before 9-11. Again this was openly for oil reasons at the time. No Iraqi had any links to al-Qaida before Iraq was attacked (Although for some reason most Americans think otherwise). Now, thanks to the oilwar, terrorists from all over the world are flooding into Iraq.


! IRAQ HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH SEPTEMBER 11! MOST OF THOSE RESPONSIBLE WERE FROM SAUDI ARABIA, WITH WHOM THE U.S. GOVERNMENT STILL TRADES.

! More Iraqi children have been killed PER MONTH by US-led sanctions than there were people killed in the entire September 11 tragedy. Innocents are still dying as a result of the illegal US-led invasion of Iraq.

! Thousands more innocent women and children were killed in Afghanistan by American attacks on civilians in civilian areas.

! But these deaths do not help justify U.S. foreign policies in the media so their deaths go largely un-noticed.

! The American & British governments are insulting us when they denounce Saddam's human rights abuses. Both governments funded and armed Saddam, before, during and after he gassed both Kurds and Iranians!

(If Iraq was about human rights then when do we attack Israel?


Iraq may have retained some of their WMD, which the U.S. government sold to them during the Iran-Iraq war. If so, then the Iraq war proved Iraq was not prepared to use them and hence was not the threat we were misled to believe they were. But the war has enabled terrorists to access any weapons that were still there.

"No WMD in Iraq" say the people looking for them:

The Oil Wars:
http://www.thedebate.org/

In order to consolidate their control over global oil markets, the businessmen who fund and control the U.S. oilgovernment now plan to extend their oilwar (which already amounts to the biggest armed robbery of all time). Attacking opponents of Israel's illegal & bloodthirsty American-funded occupation also strikes a blow for Israel. It was American Zionism that gave birth to the threat of anti-Western terrorism in the first place...

IRAN and SYRIA will soon be attacked and robbed of their oil interests too. Excuses, reasons and justifications will be found or faked. they may fabricate more intelligence. They may let another big terrorist outrage slip by. A few thousand more civilian casualties-of-war are entirely acceptable to these safe, rich oilmen. They justify the bloodshed to eachother by claiming that their country relies on that oil. But war is just business to them. They all have tight ties to the oil and defense industries and they all profit from the slaughter of men, women and children on both sides.

They take your taxes to pay for their crimes. But it's not just your money, it's your life that is at risk. It is not just the lives of soldiers and civilian war victims that are being spent by the oil industry, for the arms industry, and for Israel. The "war on terror" is pushing more and more people into hatred and extremism. It is uniting terrorists and attracting militants. Far from driving them out, the oilwars are attracting terrorists INTO places like Afghanistan and Iraq, from all over the world. The so-called "war on terror" has become a huge recruiting & fundraising campaign for extremists and militants. It is increasing the threat to everybody. All this so that a few super-rich people can make even more money from selling oil and weapons to everybody.

Their greed is infinite. They are already unimaginably wealthy, but they will continue to send good men - under-equipped, under-paid, under-supported, under-respected men - to die and to kill, for oil, for weapons sales, and for Israel. The whole machinery of intelligence and the military can now enjoy increased funding and influence as they create ever more instability and keep scaring us half to death about it.

Your taxes will continue to rise as a direct result of THEIR wars for THEIR profits and THEIR Zionism. They lied and tricked many of us into supporting their murder. They and their friends are making $billions from murder, terrorism and instability, while you are paying for the whole show with your taxes. $billions of American taxes also arm Israel's violent and illegal occupation of Arab land.

Is the whole Anglo-American political establishment entirely riddled with deception, greed, corruption and bloodlust?

If so, is it not time for change?

(If you are concerned, please share these important issues with others.)
