You left out a very important part, framing the McGovern quote.
"The session took an awkward turn when witness Ray McGovern, a former intelligence analyst, declared that the United States went to war in Iraq for oil, Israel and military bases craved by administration "neocons" so "the United States and Israel could dominate that part of the world." He said that Israel should not be considered an ally and that Bush was doing the bidding of Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon."
There was the motivations of the war, plain and simple. No WMDs. No link to Al Qaeda. No freeing the oppressed or bringing democracy. It was all about protecting the interests of the neo-cons (who happen to be very pro-Israel, and they are not afraid to promote that themselves). It certainly was not for the good of the American people, who have seen their country divided, their deficit swell to almost unmanagable levels, see fuel prices rise to prices that make it difficult for some to travel to work, etc.
Also, you missed a very important part of the article... TWICE! Early on the writer stated "The session was a mock impeachment inquiry over the Iraq war." he later finished up with the following summation.
"The glitches and the antiwar theatrics proved something of a distraction from the message the organizers aimed to deliver: that for the Bush White House, as lawyer John C. Bonifaz put it, the British memo is "the equivalent to the revelation that there was a taping system in the Nixon White House.""
But hey, the arm waiving was really effective, as usual.  |
You love your conspiracies don't you?
USA doing the bidding of Ariel Sharon? So since Sharon is in a coma......who is in charge now?
Ya the guy is a great source for whether or not Rumfeld lied.
