When, in fact, the so-called war, and eviction of Saddam, was a clever cover-up, engineered by Dick Cheney and Halliburton, to initiate an endless "Build-and-destroy" process from which Halliburton et al, have received huge profits, hoping to see this contrived destruction to go on endlessly. All in the name of spreading Democracy and Christian principles throughout the Muslim world! This objective is set up for the undiscriminating American public to be taken in by, in the most cruel and deceptive way, in order to increase the wealth of large capital interests. Under the guise of tracking down terrorists, coupled with the worthy cause of "liberating" people, we have entered a quagmire, which seems to have no realistic goal or resolution. The loss of life, both to our young military people, as well as to the innocent populace in Iraq has reached such proportions, that there is no longer even the slightest attempt to give accurate figures to the number of Iraqi citizens who have been killed or injured. This is horrendous, in itself, but coupled with the cost to the American citizenry, it is criminal and heinous. How long can we afford to have such an unfeeling and dictatorial president, called "Commander-in-Chief," squandering our national assets to support his insane desire to protect the very wealthy over those who cannot even afford medical care, or, in many cases, even food and shelter, in this so-called "Land of the Free and Home of the Brave." The probable outcome of this disastrous plan is now obvious to the world and our former allies. The devastating impact of the actions initiated by this impostor president, and his henchmen, has spread to most of the Arab world, even to European countries, wreaking unspeakable torture & inhuman acts upon civilians living in combat zones! What a monstrous objective this country, America, has achieved. In summary, if truth and justice are compromised and violated as they are in this present administration; and if documents, vital to our legislative bodies, are held in secret, by irresponsible officials, such as Dick Cheney, then democracy is bent to the autocratic objectives of George Bush. Our present image to the world has sunk to a tragic low, and we should be outraged as a nation of good people to have been so misled by this president.
