Terrorism won when we invaded Iraq
When the Bush Administration and their allies told us that if we didn't invade right now, then we'd be hit in 45 minutes, the American People were scared into invading a country for no reason at all.

For an administration fighting a war on terror, it seems just slightly ironic that this nation was terrorized into invading Iraq in the first place.

It's sad really, plenty of conservatives show the signs of being traumatized by the effects of terrorism, way too many of them say that if we didn't invade Iraq then we'd all be speaking Arabic right now, they're just some of the Bush Administration's victims of terrorism.

When will the American People rise up and say that the push for war, the White House Iraq Group, the actual usage of psychological warfare on the American People by it's own federal government, all of those and more amounted up to be acts of terrorism in itself?

2. Hate to say it, but terrorism won in the 90s when GHWBush convinced a new Dem president
to deep-six the BCCI Report and all its outstanding matters.

The global terror networks would NEVER have flourished had they been exposed fully as instruments of official governments and crony financiers who were running drugs, dealing illegal arms, and spreading nuclear material and information as part of planned operations targeting regions for unrest and takeovers of their resources.

At its very core this is what BCCI was about. But GHWBush, Jackson Stephens, Dubai and Saudi royals were NOT going to let themselves be exposed by that report or for any investigation to be furthered past that report.
