To Bush the Hypocrite: There is no “Mission” to Accomplish in Iraq!

We are still being told, over and over, that US troops have to stay in Iraq until the ‘mission’ is accomplished. Nonsense!

Had the weapons inspections continued in Iraq, the originally stated ‘mission’ would have indeed been accomplished without a single life lost and George W. Bush would have been a respected global leader! But the mission was never about WMD and we all know it, but nobody is talking about it. No one ever publicly challenges this administration to clarify the ‘mission’ that has sent our soldiers into a self-sustaining meat grinder.

Reality check: the US launched an attack against a nation that had done nothing to provoke one. We were told that this war was needed to protect the American people from a real and growing threat based on Iraq’s WMD program and its cooperation with Al Qaeda. Both of those claims have been proven to be false and all indications, then and now, are that the Bush administration was intentionally lying about the threat posed by Iraq. No, they were not misled, nor did they ‘mislead’ the nation. They lied purposely and knowingly to terrorize a nation into accepting their war.

Instead, George W. Bush pushed the PNAC agenda. This was the real mission all along. This was why 9/11 happened Yes, I am saying that I believe 100 percent, based on the official body of evidence, that the events of 9/11/2001 were planned and conducted by elements within our government. This plan stemmed from from the determination of the PNAC neocon cabal to deliver the PNAC described New Pearl Harbor that they wrote about openly. Such a ‘cataclysmic event’ was a necessity for implementing their agenda which included regime change in Iraq, Iran and Syria!

Once again, the corporate media expose themselves as the enemy of the American people by continuing to report what has to be termed a “false reality.” They pretend that the mission in Iraq is legitimate. The ignore every single administrative hypocrisy; and there are more examples of this than one can be listed in a single day. And they continue to pretend that the obvious does not exist. In this case, the most obvious truth is still ignored by the networks - that the invasion of Iraq was based on a series of absolute lies. They still refuse to admit that inspectors were on the ground in Iraq, making the invasion completely unnecessary. For starters, do a search for the smoking gun known as the Downing Street Memos that the US media completely ignored)

The primary reason an invasion of Iraq became inevitable was that George W. Bush placed a time line on the inspections and he did this because WMD were never the issue. Regime change as per PNAC was. This should all be obvious to anybody who has even a minimally functioning brain ; if not then at least now! Think about it!

1. I find it vexing that no one ever asks these people to DEFINE this mission.

2. Shrub's* mission in Iraq is, "to keep the war going, spend as much

....money on that war as the American people will tolerate, keep Americans in fear of their security, control the attitudes of the American people so they will support their own enslavement and enrich Bush's power base of the very rich, the cunning and shrewd minded."

3. Richard Clarke: "let's just look at the facts"

... if you look at what happened, when the Bush administration came into office, they were told by the outgoing Clinton administration, they were told by the CIA director, George Tenet, that al-Qaida needed to be their number one national security issue, and they didn't make it their number one national security issue.

They appreciated that it must be important, but they didn't understand that it was urgent, even though I was telling them that, George Tenet was telling them that and the outgoing Clinton administration had told them that.

...

RICHARD CLARKE: Well, let's just look at the facts. Within days, within three days of the administration beginning, I wrote to Condoleezza Rice asking for an urgent -- underlined "urgent" -- meeting of the so-called Principals Committee. Now, that's the Cabinet-level members of the NSC: secretary of defense, secretary of state, CIA director, attorney general.

Instead of having that meeting, they had a meeting on February 1st on Iraq. And, in fact, I wasn't given a Cabinet-level NSC Principals meeting on terrorism until September 4th. Now, contrast that to December 1999, when we had similar intelligence that there was an impending al-Qaida attack, and President Clinton ordered his national security adviser to meet every day or every other day with the attorney general, the FBI director, and the secretary of defense, all of whom left those meetings every day, went back to their departments and shook the departments to do anything and everything they could to stop the al-Qaida attacks.

"they didn't understand that it was urgent"

No, Mr. Clarke. They understood that their biggest-robbery-of-them-all plan was well on its way. There really is no other reality. It's long overdue for the American people to throw these Treasury GANGSTA where they belong.

4. 4 goals of the "mission"

1. Permanent military bases in Iraq from which to project power and take out the next regimes on the neocon hit list: Syria & Iran.
2. Greater control over the stratgic resource of the region, lucrative contracts for US oil companies, and keeping the dollar as the currency for oil transactions.
3. Carry out policy goals of Israel's Likud Party.
4. Keep the US in a permanent state of war in order to control the public, empower the unitary executive, maintain Republicon control of government, and enrich defense contractors.

These goals have been at least partly achieved. They certainly haven't been abandoned. The problem is that this "mission" is not acknowledged by our elected representatives or widely understood by the American people.
