"If Bush, the worst criminal in our nation's history, remains unaccountable for his unconscionable Iraq crimes, then what is the fairness or justification for anyone committing any lesser crime to ever be prosecuted?" Dick Fults

The Real Reasons Why Bush Attacked Iraq

Here are several unreported material facts about the Iraq war: Neither Iraq, nor the Iraq war, had anything whatsoever to do with either 9/11 or terrorism. Bush began planning for an Iraq attack in 1999, as a candidate for the Presidency.

Vincent Bugliosi, widely known for prosecuting and convicting Charles Manson, wrote in his 2008 book "The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder" "I present evidence against Bush that proves, beyond reasonable doubt, that he is guilty of (the) murder" of 4,450 American soldiers in Iraq.

The number of Iraqi civilians killed, originally reported as a "guesstimate" of perhaps 30,000 - 50,000 (Rumsfeld intentionally did not keep track), numbered over 800,000 by mid-2006, and more than twice than that now (as reported by Lancet, the British equivalent of our New England Journal of Medicine).

The number of American soldiers initially reported as suffering from the wound of "brain trauma" (permanent brain damage caused by blood vessels torn away from the brain by explosions) was belatedly increased by 32 fold -- from 10,000 to 320,000 -- in a 2009 Pentagon medical news conference. That increased the total number of Americans wounded in Iraq to over 650,000, including Psycho Traumatic Stress Disorder.

According to four highly credible, evaluated, and well corroborated intelligence reports -- reports that Bush was well aware of -- Iraq had no WMD since 1996. As a matter of fact, Bush deliberately falsified two of those reports, and buried all four of them – to hide them from Congress and the news media (see chapter 2). All of Bush's other pro war claims were simply phony pretexts for war – premeditated "phony facts," to brainwash us into attacking Iraq. He did that because all approvals for his attack were conditioned on the presence of WMD in Iraq; and he desperately wanted that attack to happen. Bush never had any evaluated intelligence reports that Iraq then currently had any WMD at all – only false allegations.

This unbelievable Iraq war history actually starts back in 1991 right after the first Iraq war. Bush Sr. had just concluded a very brief war. The American neoconservatives (neocons) were extremely upset with him because he had left Saddam Hussein in power in Iraq. They felt betrayed. They thought Saddam was a serious threat to Israel, and wanted to replace him with someone friendlier to Israel.

After 5 years of talking and plotting, three of them with dual American-Israeli citizenship moved to Jerusalem and developed a criminal, war crime Iraq attack plan called Clean Break. The lead author was Richard Perle. Their 1996 plan included a phony pretext for public consumption, to tell the public the myth that Iraq was threatening to attack them using WMD. The neocons were a cause looking for a sponsor.

Over 3 years later, after turndowns of that plan by both Israel and Clinton, the neocons approached Bush with that same criminal plan – this time armed with the false threat that Iraq intended to attack the US, using WMD. That phony threat would require the US to attack them first. Bush adopted that revised Clean Break plan as a candidate in 1999, complete with the original false threat…
