It's Been Four, Long, Bloody, Murdering Years...With Still No Reason "WHY??"
By afeldstein
from the former editor of Mad Magazine.

On the occasion of the fourth anniversary of the War In Iraq...some thoughts:
It has been four long, bloody, expensive, murdering years...with still no reason "WHY?"!
Even now..now that there has been substantial evidence that the President, the Vice President, and other high-ranking members of the Bush administration misled Congress and the American people regarding the decision to go to war with Iraq... and misstated and manipulated intelligence information regarding the justification for said war...
...that there were no WMD's...no poison gas...no ties to Al Qaeda and to 9-11...
....the burning question ... that everybody, including you!, seems to be deliberately avoiding... remains: Why?!
WHY?!
Why did the Bush Administration lie to us?!
Why did the Bush Administration invade Iraq?!
Why did we sacrifice all of those innocent lives?!
Here's the answer "WHY??"
Back in 1997, a political action group was formed by Paul Wolfowitz, Dick Chaney, Donald Rumsfeld, Jeb Bush, John Bolton, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, et al ... with publicly stated plans to "Democratize" the Middle East ( Translation: to get rid of the Sheiks and the Dictators and "privatize" their oil fields, which the Sheiks and Dictators had "nationalized" in the '70's, throwing out "Big Oil" {The American Oil Companies} and their ownership of those fields, and forming OPEC ).
The political action group's goal was to change those Middle East regimes under the pretext of "Democratizing" their countries so that "Big Oil" could once again attain ownership of their oil fields and their oil. The group was a "front" for America's "Big Oil"!
The group was called:
"Project For A New American Century"
Many of its original founders are currently (or were) high-placed, decision-making, influential members of the Bush Administration!
...see exactly who its original founders were...and read their "Statement of Principles"! Peruse their site...
And learn about their veiled plans to destroy OPEC for "Big Oil."
Unfortunately, Saddam Hussein had other plans:
( See "The Cheney Energy Task Force Papers" of March 5th, 2001... made public by the work of Judicial \Watch...deliniating the "Suitors For Iraqi Oil" and their lucrative "Post-Gulf War Sanctions" contracts, signed with Saddam Hussein )!
Go here to learn why we invaded Iraq and why over 3000 American G.I.'s have been killed and over 24,000 have been maimed and wounded...not to mention over 600,000 Iraqi civilians killed, maimed and wounded...
Because those NeoilCons active in, influential in and controlling the Bush Administration had to stop Saddam Hussein, once his Gulf War Sanctions were lifted, from developing his oil fields with the help of the French, the Germans, the Chinese and the Russians...while completely shunning the American "Big Oil" Companies that the NeoilCons were beholden to and fronting for!
It was imperative that those NeoilCons keep Iraq's oil OFF the market for "Big Oil's" sake!
It was imperative to maintain "Big Oil's" ( and OPEC's ) artificial price structure and obscene profits without any competition from Saddam Hussein!
Hence the invasion of Iraq and these long, bloody, murderous years of war!
So that you and I will continue to pay upwards of $3.00 a gallon for gasoline...without the competition from Saddam Hussein and Iraq's oil!
(Don't be fooled by the recent drop in gasoline prices! It's totally artificial...to help win the 2006 elections for the Republicans! It will be back up there soon...count on it! Right after Bush doubles our Strategic Oil Supply, as promised in his State Of The Union Address...as payback to "Big Oil" for temporarily reducing gas prices!)
Destroying OPEC for "Big Oil" is still on the Bush-Chaney-PNAC-NeoilCon's agenda...but it will have to wait for another day!
When, Dear God, is somebody going to wake up the American People and expose these murderers and their abominable crimes?!
And demand that they be IMPEACHED and/or PUNISHED?!
