The sharade of lies by the Bush administration is getting more interesting every day. Today, a CIA report came out giving a definitive conclusion that Iraq had scrapped its weapons programs in 1991 and never resumed them since. Weapons of mass destruction were the main reason Bush and his gang used to invade a sovereign nation. The credibility of this president has sunk to a dangerously low level and the US credibility has suffered as a result of this administration's actions. Lies and deceipt seem to run in the Bush family: we all remember when Bush the father also invaded Iraq regardless of whether Saddam pulled out of Kuwait or not. The only difference is that Bush the father had more sense when he made sure he had more international backing and refrained from getting US troops stuck in a quagmire of urban warfare. Now that the catastrophic results of this president's adventure are impossible to ignore, we see interesting twist and spin coming from his administration: such as trying to find different excuses for the war than the ones used before the invasion; or that the weapons report actually reinforces the "wisdom" of going to war. Going after tyrants is very commendable and would have been quite welcome in the Arab world had it been done for the right reasons. However, going after a defeated tyrant whose days were numbered, causing immeasurable suffering in Iraq and in the US, while ignoring tyrants who are actively and openly amassing weapons of mass destruction, all of these are not indicative of a president who deserves a second term.
