PISSED OFF IRAQIS

"We know that dictators are quick to choose aggession, while free nations strive to resolve differences in peace."
George W. Bush

On Aug. 6, a CIA official brought the infamous "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S." memo to Crawford and read it out personally to the president. In response, he got nothing but a snide dismissal: "All right, you've covered your ass now."


After watching and listening to the Pre-Iraq War Intelligence Senate Democratic Policy Committee meeting on Monday June 26, 2006 [C-SPAN] the following can be concluded:

The unnecessary and tragic Iraq war (morass and debacle) was produced by a closed system of cherry-picked and self-serving data, lies, omissions and spurious information.
Dick Cheney, George W. Bush, Condoleeza Rice and Donald Rumsfeld (to name the key perpetrators) wanted to bomb and occupy Iraq even if they had to lie.
They lied.
They continue to lie to cover their you know what.
The war was pre-meditated murder.
This administration threw curve balls at the American people and Congress.
Bush and Blair agreed to go to war as early as April 2002.
Wonderful, isn’t it?
The American electorate is restive and becomes more pissed off day by day at what this duplicitous administration did.
But even more pissed off are the Iraqi people themselves.
Iraqis whose family members have been killed are now insurgents.
The pre-meditated Iraq war (and cover-up) is clearly justifiable grounds for censure and impeachment of George W. Bush and his administration.

The policy was already decided upon by Bush to make his pre-emptive attack and invasion of Iraq.
Intel was discounted, ignored and manipulated by Wolfowitz’s and Rumsfeld’s and Feith's Office of Special plans.
The main thing was to have their war; to deceive the Congress and American public; to have enough evidence (albeit false) to justify the pre-emptive war.
The low-profile and secret Wolfowitz/Rumsfeld/Feith Office of Special Plans was the basis of spurious scraps that were fed to Congress and the American people.
This false data superseded the data of the American Intelligence community.

In an interview with the Scottish Sunday Herald, former CIA officer Larry C. Johnson said the OSP was "dangerous for US national security and a threat to world peace. [The OSP] lied and manipulated intelligence to further its agenda of removing Saddam. It's a group of ideologues with pre-determined notions of truth and reality. They take bits of intelligence to support their agenda and ignore anything contrary. They should be eliminated." (Mackay, 2003)

"Senator Jay Rockefeller, senior Democrat on the [Senate] committee, said that Mr Feith's cell may even have undertaken 'unlawful' intelligence-gathering initiatives."
The OSP "deployed several extra-legal and unapproved task force missions" in Iraq both before and after the beginning of combat. The teams operated independently of other special forces operations, occasionally causing confusion on the battlefield. The teams appear to have had a political rather than military mission; specifically, to find Iraqi intelligence officers willing come up with evidence of WMD in Iraq whether or not such weapons actually existed:
"They come in the summer of 2003, bringing in Iraqis, interviewing them," [a source close to the UN Security Council] said. "Then they start talking about WMD and they say to [these Iraqi intelligence officers] that 'Our President is in trouble. He went to war saying there are WMD and there are no WMD. What can we do? Can you help us?'"[2]
