Default The Iraq Invasion - 06-05-2006, 10:11 AM

A great tragedy that has transpired, and that being the invasion of Iraq by US occupational forces spearheaded by the President of the United States, George W. Bush.

What is the purpose of this invasion? The US government has been feeding lies to its own people as well as the rest of the world about the so-called threat of the now deposed Iraqi regime.

The threat of global terrorism, the threat of weapons of mass destruction and the threat to world peace. The US government has initiated a campaign of propaganda aimed at painting the now deposed dictator, Saddam Hussein, as the worst enemy facing the so-called brightest beacon of democracy, The United States Of America. All things aside, without question Saddam was a tyrannical leader using intimidation and threats against his own people, however, how did that effect the security of the USA?

But, again I ask, What is the purpose of this invasion of Iraq? Could it have anything to do with the fact that Iraq holds under its dry soil the world’s second largest oil reserve? A reserve that more than likely is causing the oil crazed Bush family to salivate at the prospect of controlling such a reserve.


How sad to think of all the innocent lives lost during the bombing campaign of Afghanistan by the US. How many innocent children were killed by these bombs. Such images, obviously, were kept from the eyes of the American public. Images of a 5 year old boy who had his stomach ripped open by shrapnel from one of these bombs and how he suffered in agony for 12 hours before eventually dieing from his injuries. What did this 5 year old boy, and others like him, have to do with September 11th? We now face the same tragedy in Iraq.



The effects of this invasion is not felt in Iraq alone, but is now being felt in the US as well. On September 7, 2003, President Bush requested another $87 billion dollars, on top of the already allotted $79 billion dollars, to pay for military and reconstruction expenses for both Iraq and Afghanistan.

This is more money than the federal government of the US spends annually on education and roads combined. The US has gone from a surplus budget under the Clinton administration to a deficit of almost $500 billion dollars under the Bush administration.

Another $50 billion dollars will be needed from the American tax payers if the rest of the world does not assist in the rebuilding of Iraq and Afghanistan, which more than likely, they will not assist. Simply put, Bush’s war on terror is driving the USA into bankruptcy.

This has caused Bush to make an about face as he went to the United Nations and pleaded for international support, support he so arrogantly had no use for just six months prior to that. Despite Bush’s plea for assistance, he refuses to relinquish control of Iraq in exchange for cash, troops or UN support. Obviously, compromise is not a word in the Bush lexicon.



The American people have been bambuzzled into believing the lies of the Bush administration that this is a war on terror.
Does Bush care about all the innocent lives that have been so cruelly taken in this campaign?
Not just the lives of the innocent Iraqi civilians, but also of the countless men and women of the US armed forces who have also lost their lives in this evil campaign.
Does he care about the mothers who have lost their sons, the wives who have lost their husbands and for the children who have lost their fathers in this “War for Oil”?
The fact that his 19 year old troops are being used as target practice by the Iraqi resistance, a resistance that Bush labels as “Islamasists(???)” and “Terrorists”.
How can you label as a terrorist one who is fighting against foreign invaders? George W. Bush has proven himself to be nothing more than a lying, greedy, tyrannical bumbling buffoon.
Bush is on par with another global terrorist, that being Ariel Sharon, the Shaytan(Satan), who without question has a hand in this so-called “War on Terror”.
