You can't handle the truth!
Bush and Cheney have admitted that knowing what we know today they would have still invaded Iraq. The evidence has made it clear that they and other proponents of the Iraq war did not care whether Saddam had weapons of mass destruction, or whether he was involved with 9/11. They did not care about the evidence. They had made their minds up nearly a decade earlier that the invasion of Iraq would help to make a new Middle East, which would strengthen America's leverage against Iran.
Those terrible things which Saddam did to his own people were done with the full support of the Republican administration of the '80s, of which Dick Cheney was a part. The use of chemical weapons and the killing of innocent civilians were all done without a peep of criticism from some of the same people that knowingly manipulate Congress and the American people to invade Iraq.
By invading Iraq, we involved our military in a sectarian civil war between Shias and Sunnis. Furthermore, we provided al Qaeda the greatest recruitment propaganda imaginable and created a terrorist spawning ground. If democracy takes hold in Iraq, the Iranians will have won, because the Shias make up more than 60% of the population in both Iraq and Iran.
Americans claim that they want our politicians to tell us the truth and be honest. The Bush regime has not been truthful, but many Republicans keep voting for the politicians that do the best job of lying and manipulating them.
If congressional Republicans were honest they’d admit, that to win, we need to institute a draft and raise taxes to pay for the war. They won’t even consider it, because they’d be voted out of office. We have become a society that buries it’s head in the sand and avoids asking hard questions or making tough decisions. The politicians that lie and make false promises keep getting reelected. Americans claim they want politicians that are truthful, but the politicians are fully aware that, "You can't handle the truth."
