Everyone Knew Iraq Had No WMDS … And Was Not Behind Anthrax Attacks Or 9/11

Everyone knewthat Iraq didn’t have weapons of mass destruction.
Indeed, Secretary of State Colin Powell’s chief of staff – Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson – just said that Powell knew that there were no WMDs:
I wonder what will happen when we put 500,000 troops into Iraq and comb the country from one end to the other and find nothing
It has been extensively documented that the White House decided to invade Iraq before 9/11:
  • Former CIA director George Tenet said that the White House wanted to invade Iraq long before 9/11, and inserted “crap” in its justifications for invading Iraq.Former Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill – who sat on the National Security Council – also saysthat Bush planned the Iraq war before 9/11. Top British officials saythat the U.S. discussed Iraq regime change even before Bush took office. And in 2000, Cheney saida Bush administration might “have to take military action to forcibly remove Saddam from power.” And see this.
  • Cheney made Iraqi’s oil fields a national security priority before 9/11. And the Sunday Herald reported: “Five months before September 11, the US advocated using force against Iraq … to secure control of its oil.” (remember that Alan Greenspan, John McCain, George W. Bush, Sarah Palin, a high-level National Security Council officerand others all say that the Iraq war was really about oil.)
Indeed, neoconservatives planned regime change in Iraq – and throughout the Middle East and North Africa – 20.
George W. Bush, John McCain, Sarah Palin, a high-level National Security Council officer, Alan Greenspanand others all say that the Iraq war was reallyabout oil.
But war is sold just like soda or toothpaste… and so a false justification needs to be concocted.
The government tried to falsely blame the anthrax attacks on Iraqas a justification for war:
When Congress was originally asked to pass the Patriot Act in late 2001, the anthrax attacks which occurred only weeks earlier were falsely blamed on spooky Arabs as a way to scare Congress members into approving the bill. Specifically:
George Bush throughout 2002 routinely featured “anthrax” as one of Saddam’s scary weapons.
Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, President Bush and VP Cheney all falsely linked Iraq with 9/11 … and the entire torture program was aimedat establishing such a false linkage.
A new book by NBC News and Newsweek investigative reporter Michael Isikoffadds details, including a memo written by Rumsfeld in November 2001– a year and a quarter before the start of the Iraq war – asking how to start a war against Iraq, and suggesting as one potential “justification” for war:
  • How start?
US discovers Saddam connection to Sept. 11 attack or to anthrax?
The Bush administration launched the Iraq war under false pretenses … unfortunately, Obama is no better.
