As movie mobsters say, "The fix is in."
With a secret plan developed in September 2000 to attack Iraq, President George W. Bush is unleashing the dogs of war and once again plunging American troops through the gates of hell.
The secret war plan ("Rebuilding America’s Defenses”) calls for attacking Iraq ("Bush Planned Iraq ‘Regime Change’ Before Becoming President," Scotland's The Sunday Herald, September 15, 2002). This bloody blueprint, penned by the ultra-conservative think-tank Project for the New American Century, was given to Bush and top Republicans two years ago.
In 1990, during Desert Storm, U.S. soldiers were provided only official misinformation. Upon returning home, I realized “the fix was in” back then, too. Former President Bush lied about Iraqi intentions and capabilities to invade Saudi Arabia. And a multi-million dollar public relations campaign lied to Americans about Iraqi soldiers tossing Kuwaiti babies from incubators. Many in Congress relied on these lies when they voted in favor of going to war in January 1991. A few changed votes could have changed history.
But let’s not allow a few pesky facts to get in the way.
