They all lied and continue to lie. President Barack Obama was not bold enough to tell the troops coming out of Iraq that it all was for no good reason at all. There is not one good thing the can be said about the Iraq murder campaign. The country sent 4,500 people to their grave and 3,200 to a life of pain and suffering for no good reason.
The media, Congress, George Bush’s people, including Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice, lied. The general public would not protest Vietnam style. America didn’t pack the streets and jails, didn’t close down conventions held by the murderers to put the people back in office that led the murder campaign.
Now the poor people of Iraq have less: their cities have been bombed to hell and libraries, schools, museums, and homes that can’t be replaced are gone. Fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers are dead and bombing have just begin anew. The Iraqis will be fighting each other until the strongest group comes to power.
The puppets America left in charge may not be the strong group, but as it is in all countries, the strong group will rule. It may be the police or a gang, but the strong will rule. The question is how many will die before the strongest group comes to power?
Everyone in America lived this lie and let good people die.
