Forget about the huge lies...it's the TRUTH that hurts most
Once again, Karen Kwiatkowski, former USAF Lt. Col., formerly of the OSP, has hit the nail squarely on its head, WRT the massive, perhaps irreversible damage done to democracy here, not to mention the conversion of our foreign policy into nothing short of an attempted Pax Neocana.

In the following article, she references some fifty obvious lies told in furtherance of the buildup to/prosecution of the invasion, and, more importantly, its future ramifications.

More important than the lies used in furtherance of their "accomplishments," though, is the reality of what they've established.

Here:

*The mission IS accomplished.
Neoconservative objectives require a major repositioning of U.S. military forces into Iraq, and we have done that. Four permanent bases are being built to American standards. These bases will be operational whether Iraq is stable and democratic, or just another Somalia replete with warlord rule, religious fundamentalist furor and abject poverty. The positive evolution of Iraq is irrelevant. The neo-conmen already toasted their success at a special Black Coffee meeting on Iraq, held Friday morning, March 21, 2003. The real party was reportedly hosted the following Saturday night at Richard Perle’s house. Case closed.

*Forget A Bright Shining Lie, the lessons of Vietnam HAVE been learned.
Every point between Iraqi battlefields and American military hospitals and graveyards is under complete State media control. The President doesn’t do funerals. The media doesn’t cover flag-draped caskets and grief-stricken families. This time around, the State response to rational criticism – whether blacklisting Hollywood actors, making traitors of members of Congress, or smearing people in the street who dare raise their voices with rational questions – is instantaneous and massive.

*For the Bush administration and its backers, neo-conservatism is COST-FREE AND PROFITABLE.
The rest of America, the great unwashed, will kill for it, die for it, be maimed for it, and pay for it. Without end. And when this country can afford no more blood and treasure and offspring, the neo-conservative policy-makers will, conveniently and without a single hesitation, cash out and default on the whole failed project.
