Rachel Maddow Report on the Selling of the Iraq War

At this time, we all need to watch this video again.



Any news media that invites the scoundrels like Dick Cheney, etc. to opine about what Obama should do in Iraq should be turned off.

Unless we turn off the lies and end our subscriptions to the media that presents these lies, we are part of the problem.

Drop your cable subscription and cancel your newspaper subscriptions if they are showing any of the hawks who dishonestly sold the Iraq War to the American people.

"erroneous judgments"?????

Lies. Lies. Lies.

And I am not sure what to believe about Iraq at this time.

If we help the government of Maliki in Iraq we are wrong.

If we sit idly while the Sunni extremists take over in Iraq we are wrong.

And all of this is because of the stupidity and evil lies of the Bush administration.

By the say, listen for Hillary Clinton. She warns Bush to use the Iraq War powers wisely. What a joke. When you watch the video and recognize the obvious problems with the "evidence" supporting Bush's policy in the war, you have to question Hillary Clinton's judgment. I do.

But I don't think I'm gonna get any sleep tonight, seeing as how I am thrumming with rage. Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Feith and Tenet should all be dead now, having been arrested, tried for treason, and shot. As for Bush himself, I think he was just too fucking stupid to know which end was up, while Colin Powel was manipulated.

Like CSI: Iraq

I'm trying to wade my way through punctuating dramatic music and panning film edits to get to the information. Sorry, can't do it. Corporate TV sucks.

I knew it was based on lies from the start. I find it hard to believe if I knew that a Senator or Congressperson didn't.

why would anyone in their right mind consider voting for a fucking Republican for President. If you notice I said anyone in their right mind. But as this documentary proved Republicans will lie and people will still support them and that is dangerous to our Democracy.

*This is just more evidence that these people that lied to us belong behind bars.Bush,Cheney,Rumsfield,Tennet and many more

Rachel Maddow is one of my favorite news Journalist however the story is a lot deeper and filled with a long history of Bush complicity with the Bin Laden Saudi Royal family.

There is a huge gap in this GOP Republican party that can be characterized more as a political crime syndicate.

There are several books beyond just Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11 that truthfully defines The House of Saud connected to the House of Bush in Craig Unger’s Book 2004.

Who would go after any Bin Laden family member when tied to the Saudi Bin Laden’s for anywhere about one billion dollars in close family deals according to Unger. Good reason George Bush eventually said he did not care about Osama Bin Laden even though saying he wanted him dead or alive at the beginning.

The Bin Laden’s made the deals even sweeter banking with Citi- Group, Invested with Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch and even Disney the American broadcasting Company, ABC besides almost half interest in Fox news.

As Racheal would say a real barn burner is the business associates with former secretary of state James baker and of course Poppy himself George Herbert Walker Bush by investing in the Carlyle Group, with a huge debate as to the amount, but this domain is where anything goes as wild as the Indiana Jones deal.

As Eisenhower once said about watching out for the terrible things that could happen to America because of the military industrial complex turn out to be the Carlyle Group as the icon center player of that complex with George Bush’s dad bringing home oil money to the family fortune. Of course America should not forget Halliburton. At one time Cheney own over 400 thousand shares in a charity trust. Sure to be a family charity to promote politics.

Yep the Bush family from the time of Prescott played these kinds of war games to profiteer done way back in the WWII financing the Nazi. It just is incredible that it is repeated all over again in that now America’s GOP crime syndicate is complicit with the very terrorist America is fighting.

As Racheal said if America does not address this issue of war profiteering and crimes it will just happen again.

This whole war needs to be reviewed with all secret deals opened up. Especially, those secret deals with the Bin Laden family.
