Iraq and 9/11 WTF???
Tonight George Bush layed out the latest justification for the Iraq war. No more mention of the weapons of mass destruction that Saddam Hussein was poised to unleash on the US or hand over to Al Quada.
No, it's about fighting the 9/11 terrorists. He made no less than nine references to 9/11 and Osama bin Laden, neither of which had any connection to Iraq, and whose current connection is vague at best.
It has been said that if you repeat a lie enough times, people will believe it. Tonight it is the link between 9/11 and Iraq. While no one in the Bush administration ever explicitly said that Saddam Hussein was directly involved in 9/11, it was strongly implied in the rhetoric.
And the process continues tonight. He speaks of terrorists terrorists terrorists, as if everyone you can call a terrorist is a member of one big terrorist family. Terrorists attacked New York City and Washington. Terrorists are exploding car bombs in Baghdad - one and the same. There were at least four references to terrorists as dehumanized murdering monsters.
Creating democracy in the Middle East is a noble cause, but must we build democracy on a bed of lies?
What should be more frightening to us than "terrorists" in Iraq is how sucessfully Bush is using peoples anger and fear from 9/11 to persue his policy of remaking the Middle East in his own image.
