MORE BULLSHIT FROM BUSH!
Bush is starting a new spin on his invasion of Iraq in an attempt to save the Republicans during November elections. He has, in the past, tried to tie the attacks of 9/11 to the invasion of Iraq but that did not fly; recently he had to admit, in a press conference, that the invasion of Iraq had nothing to do with the attacks of 9/11 - Logically then the invasion of Iraq had nothing to do with the war on terror but Bush keeps on spinning.
Now he is again trying to link the invasion / war in Iraq to the war on terror. He says that victory in the war on terror is dependent on victory in Iraq and that could not be further from the truth BUT he hopes Americans will buy this round of bullshit or at least enough Americans will buy into it to elect some Republicans in November.
As I said, ad nauseam, Iraq is in a civil war; the Shiites are fighting the Sunnis for control. These are not terrorists, these are Iraqis. Al Qaeda was never in Iraq – Saddam made sure of that. They only entered Iraq when Bush invaded and opened the door for them. Actually, the Iraqis have thrown Al Qaeda out of Iraq because they don’t want them messing with their civil war.
Now Bush is saying that the war on terror is like fighting the Nazis. He is playing on his new term “Islamic Fascists”. He has lumped everything and everyone together into one enemy, the so called Islamic Fascists to make things easier for Americans to understand and support, the problem is that this is just more bullshit – it is not true.
Hitler came to power because of blind patriotism on the part of many Germans – they believed him just like some Americans believe Bush and allow him to use dictatorial powers just like the Germans did for Hitler.
The terrorists don’t want to conquer the world like Hitler, they want the infidels out of the Middle East and they want the Middle East to be a theocracy (run by clerics) under strict Islamic law. Does that sound like Hitler of Mussolini to you?
The entire Bush administration including most of all Rumsfeld, are pressing this new tactic. The Democrats cannot allow it but they probably will – cause they have no balls or smarts.
