Trump Is Right, Bush Lied: A Little-Known Part of the Bogus Case for War…

Donald Trump said something about the Bush administration and the Iraq War that is essentially illegal for Republican politicians.

“They lied,” he said. “They said there were weapons of mass destruction, there were none. And they knew there were none.”

Bush Lied about WMD and the AMERICAN people herded up like the sheep they can sometimes be and followed Mr. Bush into the Rabbit Hole…. and allowed Mr. Bush to initiate his Iraq War that cost almost a trillion dollars and took the lives of almost 5,000 Americans… not to mention the 137,000 wounded….

… and Now the question is will the American People accept the LIES of Mr. Trump and follow Trump into his SWAMP…


America’s weapon of MASS destruction…

The 21,000-pound GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB) bomb that the US dropped on an Afghan town of almost 150,000 residents last week was the largest non-nuclear bomb used in history. US officials say the bomb’s intended target was an underground tunnel system allegedly held by ISIS, but let us be clear: this bomb was not just a weapon to target people underground. It was a tool for psychological warfare. It was a weapon of mass destruction. It was a blast that destroyed whatever was in its path for miles and caused severe hearing damage.

America Is the World’s Biggest Terrorist Organization—Why Is That So Hard to Understand?

When America bombs, it’s rational; when other countries do it, we cry terrorism.

Amnesia is the mode of thought in the United States. Cluelessness about its belligerent history is now general. It would sound strange to ask why the North Koreans feel such palatable threat from the United States. Odd to raise the fact that it was the United States that brutally bombed North Korea in the 1950s, targeting its towns and cities as well as farms and dams. The data is inescapable. The United States dropped 635,000 tons of bombs on North Korea. This includes 32,557 tons of napalm – essentially a chemical weapon. As a comparison, it is fitting to see that in all of the Pacific sector of World War II, the United States dropped a mere 503,000 tons of bombs. The United States, in other words, dropped more bombs on North Korea during the ill-named ‘limited war’ than it dropped during the entire engagement against Japan during World War II. Three million Koreans died in that war, the majority in the North.

North Korea has never attacked the United States.

When a North Korean is critical of North Korea that person disappears… When an American is critical of America that person’s patriotism is usually challenged… or your GROUP posting access is removed…you certainly can’t be critical and also love America….

A quote attributed to Ghandi goes something like this: “I love your Jesus but your Christians suck…”

When a country drops a 21,000 pound bomb, the largest non nuclear bomb ever used against other human beings, I think some “terror” goes along with the explosion…

… this MOAB obliterates everything for more than half mile radius and doesn’t ask if what is being obliterated is a combatant or non combatant…?

The Nazis performed terrible terrorist acts against mankind while good German people stood by…either turning a blind eye, ignorant of the events or simply tacitly complicit to the terrorist acts….

America ‘s existence was the direct result of Acts against legal authority and if the American Colonies hadn’t been victorious most of America’s founding fathers would have been hanged as traitors…

… I just raise the question as did the Alternet writer…
