When the ‘Big Lie’ Becomes the Truth

"For the sake of your children’s future we must make sure this madman never has the capacity to hurt us with a nuclear weapon or to use stockpiles of anthrax that we know he has." (George W. Bush, Denver, Colorado, 27 September 2002)

When all the dust had settled after the US/UK invasion of Iraq, it quickly became apparent to everyone that there were no Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs). Visibly embarrassed and facing an impending scandal, the Bush cabinet proceeded to mount its own face-saving WMD ‘hunting expedition’, under the so-called Iraq Survey Group (ISG), headed by Dr. David Kay, an intelligence insider, hand picked by the CIA.

In his January 20, 2004 State of the Union Address, President Bush intimated, amidst applause, that the 1400-member ISG team had finally found the WMDs: "Already, the Kay Report identified dozens of weapons of mass destruction-related program activities and significant amounts of equipment that Iraq concealed from the UN. Had we failed to act, the dictator’s WMDs programs would continue to this day."

Ironically, three days later, Bush’s trusted appointee Dr. Kay not only resigned from his position as ‘special adviser’ to CIA Director George Tenet, he also refuted, in no uncertain terms, the very substance of the President’s State of the Union address: "I don’t think they existed. What everyone was talking about is stockpiles produced after the end of the Gulf War, and I don’t think there was a large-scale production program in the ‘90s." (Reuters, 24 January 2004). Two weeks later, George Tenet went on record to say that the CIA "never said there was an imminent threat" from Iraq. That idea, he said, emanated from the White House. Needless to say, the CIA not only briefs President Bush on a daily basis, it is also one of the major sources of fabricated intelligence.

Moreover, former Treasury Secretary, Paul O’Neill confirmed earlier in January on CBS ‘60 Minutes’ that Bush had planned the invasion/occupation of Iraq well before September 11, 2001. (See p. 51) What the Bush administration (including the Pentagon and the CIA) wanted was to find an excuse – any excuse – to invade and occupy Iraq.
