Once again President George Bush is trying to justify his imperialist adventures. The spoiled frat-rat, whose daddy got him a job, using huge amounts of slush money from the oil companies is trying to justify an obvious blunder.
According to CNN:
Bush said the war has not caused hatred of the United States among radical Muslims or global terror attacks, but rather is an "excuse" to further the goal of creating an Islamic state across the Mideast.
Bush made his remarks at the National Endowment for Democracy in Washington, and emphasized that the worldwide terror movement should not be appeased. (Watch Bush make his case to continue the Iraq war -- 3:05)
A CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll in late September found that 59 percent of people surveyed considered the 2003 invasion a mistake, 63 percent said they wanted to see some or all U.S. troops withdrawn, and only 32 percent approved of Bush's handling of the conflict.
"We're not facing a set of grievances" that can be negotiated, Bush said. (Full transcript)
"We're facing a radical ideology with an unalterable objective, to enslave whole nations and intimidate the whole world."
Intimidating the world ha become our job. The rest of the Middle-east is intimidated by the US.
“Bush said about 3,000 Iraqi troops had done "a fine job" in recent combat alongside American units in western Iraq.
"Over 30 percent of the Iraqi troops are in the lead on these offensive operations. We've got troops embedded with them, and that's an important part of the training mission," he said.
These troops are seen by much of the population as collaborators, just as many French who aided in the Nazi occupation of World War II.
Bush said the war has not caused hatred of the United States among radical Muslims or global terror attacks, but rather is an "excuse" to further the goal of creating an Islamic state across the Mideast.
"The militants believe that controlling one country will rally the Muslim masses, enabling them to overthrow all moderate governments in the region and establish a radical Islamic empire that spans from Spain to Indonesia," Bush said.
"The hatred of the radicals existed before Iraq was an issue," Bush said. "And it will exist after Iraq is no longer an excuse."
Comment- The hatred of the US has intensified both abroad and at home and is no longer just confined to Arabs or Muslims. And that includes people living here who are tired of the war and the lies.
