Re: We were lied to about 9/11
As the brilliant Naomi Klein contends in her book The Shock Doctrine, 9/11 provided the neocons [Project For the New American Centrury aka PNAC] with the "Pearl Harbor-like" catastrophic event they had been waiting for-- to scare the bejesus out of Americans and get them in a "we want REVENGE" mood and thus allow the Bush Crime Family to launch an attack in the Middle East [wrong country, who gives a ****?...Bushies are hand-holding "family" with the Saudis who actually were the attackers, right?] and create war to please the right wing-neocon think tanks, the military industrial complex, the oil CEOs, the no bid contract clean-up creeps from Halliburton/Bechtel, etc. and provide Eric Prince's private military group Blackwater with a chance to play sheriff-with-no- consequences-games in Iraq. :icon_evil::icon_evil::icon_evil:
Catastrophic Event = Cash Opportunities for the Connected and the Corrupt.
And the dumb Amuricuns said, "hell yeah--we wanna little get back. We need a war." The mainstream press was complicit and spoon fed the propaganda for the administration to the public and failed to ask any questions that might have shown the wrong-headed idiocy of war with Iraq. So now all these years later Amuricuns are finally fed up with this never-ending waste of treasure and human life. And now we have a fine mess that Obama is supposed to rescue us from.
That the final image of Bush in Iraq seared into the memories of the world is of the doofus ducking two shoes thrown at him by an irate journalist, not the "War President/Statesman" photo op his "legacy" gurus were opting for--is the only good thing that's come out of that "money pit" hellhole. We have destroyed that country and for what exactly? Money to be made for the Bush Crime family and their cronies. They have stolen our treasury and bankrupted this country.
A whole slew of these creeps should be prosecuted for war crimes. But it won't happen. Or will it? Naaaaaw--it's the corrupt American way--the real criminals get away with everything including murder and treason and the guy busted for a joint goes to jail.
Ain't that America for you and me? :icon_eek::icon_confused:
