Little Mr Mahatma

Reminder
Periodically I rehash all the lies and manipulations foisted upon us by the Bush Administration because, frankly, they want us to foget. They want us to listen to their words and see their actions as if history didn't exist, as if we had no way to judge or validate them and so must rely on them and believe them to be truthful.


The Bush Administration acts as if communication is still shy of the pony express, slow to spread. They think that we won't remember that the Iraq Invasion was, according to them, due to Hussein about to use WMDs against us and they gave us PROOF. Except the proof was wrong but this was after the invasion. Fait accompli and all that. THey said that Hussein had WMDs but that changed to "tried to get" and that changed to "wanted".


They said that Hussein was in cahoots with al Qaeda but that changed to "supported" al Qaeda and that changed to "approved of" al Qaeda when connections weren't found.


They said our troops would be welcome with open arms. They were and even today our troops are killed with bombs and arms.


They said Iraq's oil would pay for the country's reconstruction but little of the money has gone to that cause. Instead, corruption and theft are rampant. The oil money and billions of our dollars are unaccounted for.


Bush preached that Hussein had to go because Hussein was such an evil guy, killing many of his people. But, with Abu Ghraib and an unknown number of civilian deaths, we've shown that our standards aren't so high either. With Rumsfeld, Rove, and ultimately Bush, we find accountability and responsibility are only words.


Yes, the Bush Administration would dearly love for us to forget, to be God-fearing, loyal, unquestioning Americans but he's finding our memories are a bit longer than his. He's finding that we do remember and that his attempts to distort what has happended and is happening in Iraq are being regularly questioned.


We're seeing the Bush Administration in panic, that if one strategy to fool us doesn't work then try another - clearly an active demonstration of Evolution. For when you mention the Bush Administration, there is obviously no support for Intelligent Design.
