Important Facts

“I am saddened that it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge what everyone knows: the Iraq war is largely about oil.”- Alan Greenspan

Our representatives in Congress find it politically inconvenient to acknowledge this fact, because they may loose financial support from the military-industrial complex or be labeled unpatriotic.

Iraq and Iran have never been a real threat to the security of the American people, but most members of Congress are pretending that the occupation of Iraq has nothing to do with oil. They never mention of oil, but it’s obvious that were it not for oil, our military-industrial complex would have little interest in the region or its people.

Al Qaeda was responsible for 9/11, and fifteen of the nineteen perpetrator were Saudi Arabian Sunni Muslims. None were Shiites from Iraq or Iran.

Iran’s Shiite, Grand Ayatollah Saanei insists: “Martyrdom for your faith should never be confused with suicide terrorism. Terrorists should go to Hell, and that is our belief. But if the enemy attacks us, we have the right to defend ourselves in any possible way.”

Our own National Intelligence Estimate said that we’re attracting more terrorists because we’re in Iraq.

General Petraeus admitted that there were no al Qaeda in Iraq, before we invaded. 

In 2006, former Iranian President Mohammad Khatami argued that our invasion of Iraq has led more youth to join terrorist groups.

The former head of the bin Laden unit, Michael Scheuer, pointed out: “It’s about the impact of our policies in the Islamic world. And because we won’t talk about that here in America, we’re not adequately defended.”

Nevertheless, Clinton, Schumer and Gillibrand refuse to communicate that our past and present policies in the Middle East endanger our safety.

“If any question why we died tell them because our fathers lied.”- Rudyard Kipling
