Great article benchmarks GWB comments during Iraq occupation
Illusions in Iraq by Ari Berman
Ari's article points out various benchmarks in the Iraqi occupation and miserable failure's comments on how the situation is getting better(starting with his mission accomplished May 2003, to December 2004 where he's extolling how much better things will be after the election)
A section taken from Bush's 12/2004 press release :
"We have a vital interest in the success of a free Iraq. You see, free societies do not export terror. Free governments respect the aspirations of their citizens and serve their hopes for a better life. Free nations are peaceful nations. And free nations in the heart of the Middle East will show what is possible to others who want to live in a free society."
Too bad he doesn't tell us the truth about our "vital interest in the success of a free Iraq". Oil, oil, enough oil to keep our SUVs on the road and keep the SUV dealerships in the ready cash! Of course, there is also our "need" to have our military posts in the middle of Middle East to help protect our interests. I would also guess we are there to help protect Isreal, too... and so on.
