watch the talk head in archival news clip from tv in this documentary one be just amaze at how obvious it be that the bush administration lie about it reason for invade iraq . of course we have the benefit of hindsight and know for a fact that the weapon of mass destruction be not there . but the really striking thing be that all these so call leader of our country bush and cheney and rumsfeld and rice and and yes and colin powell knew they be lie . a al franken so succinctly say and it one thing for a president to lie about his sex life . it another to lie about why we be send our young men and woman into battle . what this documentary do through interview with lead expert in government and the military and and the intelligence community and juxtapose before and between and follow the many dire pronouncement from the administration and be demonstrate beyond a shadow of a doubt that what they say be propaganda and disinformation the big lie dish out to the congress and the press and the american people . the real question be why . what be the real reason for bush invasion of iraq . before i attempt to answer that question and two thing and one and this documentary be utterly convincing in it indictment of the bush administration and will be almost impossible to watch by those who support the war and continue to support the war . the evidence for the massive mendacity be so vividly express by knowledgeable and experienced people within and without the government people like former ambassador joe wilson and former director of the cia stansfield turner and anti terrorism expert rand beer and former assistant secretary of defense philip coyle and retird col patrick lang and and at least a dozen more that only the most hardened neocon and faith base true believer could doubt the subterfuge . incidentally and it be wilson wife and an undercover agent for the cia and who be deliberately expose by leak from the bush administration in order to punish wilson for his expression of the truth about wmd . two and the real blame beyond the bush administration lie with the press and with the congress . if medal be give for cowardice and member of the press and the congress would have chest ablaze with bronze and silver and gold . the press simply abdicate it fourth estate responsibility through fear of reprisal from the bush administration and while the congress dare not go against the bush propaganda machine for fear that it would be label anti american . in fact their cowardly and irresponsible behavior be deeply anti american while it be solidly pro bush . they both keep the american people in ignorance about the real reason for the war . okay what be those reason . oil . of course this be a factor . notice that other horrendous dictator elsewhere in the world be not remove from power by an american invading force . to right the wrong that the first president bush do when he keep saddam hussein in power after the gulf war . yes and but here be the beginning of the stupidity . the senior bush pull up short of depose saddam hussein because keep him in power be consider in the best interest of the united state . we have good control over him and he serve a buffer to iranian theocratic ambition . to demonstrate to the world the awesome might of the u military ( the shock and awe that have rumsfeld practically drool ) and show our willingness to use force if necessary . yes . this be probably the most important psychological and geopolitical reason for invade iraq . that it be immoral and likely to further alienate our ally and turn the vast majority of muslim throughout the world into enemy do not seem to occur to bush and the neocon . notice that another effect have be to convince iran that it need to acquire nuclear weapon and since it be obvious that the bush administration isn not about to invade a country that have them ( e. g. and north korea and pakistan ) . to mollify the american people and so many of whom naturally felt a great need after 9/11 to see some kind of action take and any action to show strength and like a bull whirl around and swing it horn at anything near . to smoke screen our failure to get osama bin laden and the general failure in afghanistan . absolutely . blow up great mound of dirt in afghanistan be not satisfactory and and go into nuke up pakistan to get bin laden be not palatable . to provide business for halliburton and other corporation close to bush and member of his administration . well and that be one of the effect of the war . to subconsciously get into the mind of soccer mom and make them feel safer by make u soldier ( who get pay for this sort of thing ) the target for terrorist in iraq instead of civilian at home . possibly . again and that be part of the effect of the war . to help bush win in 2004. without doubt . be a war time president would give bush a big advantage over any democrat . a quick victory over iraq ( celebrate aboard an aircraft carrier with bush in pilot gear strut around with a helmet tuck under his arm shaking hand ) would allow him to go one up on his father who foolishly abdicate such a possible advantage and lose the next election . btw and film of the bush strut be show in the documentary more fully and more embarrassingly than the nightly news dare show it at the time . you have to see it to believe it . i think this last reason be the most compelling reason that bush go to war and whether he realize it or not represent he want to win and not so much the war on terror and but the next election .
