Is the Iraq war really just to distract everyone from what they are really
doing? If the Iraq war never happened, wouldn't a great deal of attention be focused on the numerous evils that BushCo is doing?

8. They knew they needed perpetual war
in order to get Congress to give them everything they want. The evil bastards are stealing our country and probably our futures right in front of us. If the f**king Idiot wasn't a "war prezdent", he and his handlers wouldn't have gotten away with all the crimes they've committed--and continue to commit. They knew that going in, and they planned accordingly. :evilfrown: :evilgrin:

war is meant to distract from the obvious-that Halliburton and it's subsidiaries are making record money right along with oil companies. Iraq had been being "softened up" for 12 years prior to Shock and Awe or Operation Iraqi Freedom (freeing the Iraqis from their lives and their oil). In truth if the Iraq war had not happened Shrub would not be president today. IMHO the war was the main he was the GOP candidate 2000, yes I think it was planned that far in advance.

11. It is a continuous cycle. One scandal after another, sprinkle in war
crimes over and over and over. Pretty soon people forget what was the first scandal, Bush vs Gore. Actually you can go way back to Nixon, but as long as it is ALLOWED to continue it will.
