Subject: Fwd: The Real Reason For Bush's Invasion of Iraq Is A
National Security Secret
All of the leading Republican presidential candidates openly and
nonchalantly endorsed using nuclear weapons against Iran unless
Iran abandons its right to enrich uranium guaranteed by the
non-proliferation treaty, to which Iran is a signatory (unlike
nuclear-armed Israel).
What is moral degeneracy if not the willingness to use nuclear
weapons to murder masses of innocent civilians and spread deadly
radioactivity over vast areas of the planet, merely to force a
country to do what we want? If that isn't barbarism, what is?
Don't the American people realize that all the frontrunners for the
Republican presidential nomination are monsters who are eager to
mass-murder people who have done us no harm?
Don't they even care? Finding an "American" worthy of bearing that
illustrious name is like looking for "good Germans" after the
Holocaust, after Hitler was gone, after the German people failed.
Who were the most despicable and most morally culpable human beings
during the fall of Rome -- a few mad emperors, or the multitudes in
the Colosseum enjoying their evil rule?

Subject: The Real Reason For Bush's Invasion of Iraq Is A National
Security Secret
*http://www.ichblog.eu/text/content/view/1632/1/ The Real
Reason For Bush's Invasion of Iraq Is A National Security Secret*
By Paul Craig Roberts

"ICH' -- American soldiers have been fighting and dying in Iraq
since 2003, and Americans do not know why.
All the reasons President Bush gave us for his war are false. Bush
said he invaded Iraq "to disarm Iraq of weapons of mass
destruction, to end Saddam Hussein's support for terrorism, and to
free the Iraqi people."
We now know that these were false claims. Disinformation about
Iraq was produced by a special unit within the Pentagon run by
Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and Feith. The unit operated outside the
normal intelligence channels of the C.I.A. and D.I.A. Its purpose
was to create false intelligence to enable Bush to initiate war
with Iraq.
Did President Bush know that the claims put into his speeches by
his speech writers was false?
Who instructed Bush's speech writers to incorporate known lies into
the President's speeches?
Why did Vice President Cheney, the Secretary of State, the National
Security Advisor, and the Secretary of Defense all lie to the
American people and to the entire world?
What is the real agenda?
Millions of Americans have come to their own conclusions about the
reasons for Bush's invasion:
(1) Oil: the U.S. government wants to hold on to power by expanding
its control over oil, and Bush and Cheney want to reward their oil
company cronies.
(2) Military-security complex: Police agencies favor war as a means
of expanding their power, and military industries favor war as a
means of expanding their profits.
(3) Neoconservative ideology: Neocons' believe in "American
exceptionalism" and claim that America's virtue gives the U.S.
government the right and the obligation to impose U.S. hegemony on
the rest of the world, especially in the Middle East where
independent Muslim states object to Israel’s theft of Palestine.
(4) Karl Rove: Rove used the “war president” role to rescue Bush
from attack by Democrats as an illegitimate president elected by
one vote of the U.S. Supreme Court.
(5) American self-righteousness over 9/11 and lust for revenge.
All of these reasons came together to make a cruel war on an
innocent people.
There may be other reasons about which we know not.
As it is now recognized that every reason for the war is false or
illegitimate, the question is: why does Bush insist on persisting
with a costly war, the express reasons for which are now known to
be mistakes? There were no weapons of mass destruction, no
connections to al Qaeda, and Bush has installed a puppet Iraqi
government that cannot venture outside the heavily fortified and
U.S.-protected "green zone." The Iraqi government governs nothing.
War without cause is murder, not war.
That Bush persists with a war for which he can provide no
legitimate reason indicates that there is a secret agenda that has
not been shared with the American people. Are we experiencing the
privatization of the U.S. government by police agencies, the
military-security complex, and the Israel Lobby?
That the American people and their elected representatives continue
to tolerate a war that has killed and maimed thousands of their own
soldiers, destroyed the infrastructure of a country, killed
hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians, and created 4 million
refugees for no known reason raises serious questions about the
morals of the American people.
Is the impotence of the peace movement due to the power of the
Israel Lobby or have Americans become morally degenerate as
commentators increasingly assert?
One indication would be the response of presidential candidates to
the gratuitous and failed war. What we saw at the Republican
presidential candidates' debate on June 5 is inconsistent with the
self-esteem of the American people. All of the leading Republican
presidential candidates openly and nonchalantly endorsed using
nuclear weapons against Iran unless Iran abandons its right to
enrich uranium under the non-proliferation treaty, to which Iran is
a signatory (unlike nuclear-armed Israel, India, and U.S. puppet
Pakistan).
What is moral degeneracy if it is not using nuclear weapons to
murder masses of innocent civilians and spread deadly radioactivity
over vast areas merely in order to force a country to do as we
order? If this isn't barbarism, what is barbarism?
Do the American people realize that the frontrunners for the
Republican presidential nomination are monsters who want to murder
people who have done us no harm?
After five years of war that has achieved no noble purpose, no
valid aim, indeed, no aim at all except perhaps Osama bin Laden's
aim of stirring up uncontrollable strife in the Middle East, how
can Republicans cheer for candidates who preach a wider war and the
use of nuclear weapons against defenseless people?
Is the approval lavished on Republican presidential candidates, who
are willing to use nuclear weapons as means of terrorizing Muslim
peoples, an indication that the American people have morphed into
inhuman monsters?
If not, what does it indicate? Ignorant fanaticism? Paranoia?
Blind hatred? The belief that no one is of any value but Americans?
For six and one-half years the Bush Regime has relied on coercion,
intimidation, war, and threats of war. Diplomacy and good will have
been shunned. The regime's blatant warmongering has resurrected
the nuclear arms race. China and Russia regard America's drive for
world hegemony with great alarm. China has put nuclear I.C.B.M.s
on mobile platforms to increase their survivability in event of an
American attack. Russia has developed new multi-warhead I.C.B.M.s,
which can penetrate any known missile defense, and new cruise
missiles that Putin says will be targeted on Europe if the U.S.
persists in its aggressive military encirclement of Russia.
An administration that resurrects the threat of nuclear Armageddon
so that its cronies in the military-security complex can become
still richer is evil beyond compare.
