The REAL Reason behind the War in Iraq
"War without cause is murder, not war."
The Real Reason for Bush’s Invasion of Iraq Is a National Security Secret
by Paul Craig RobertsAmerican soldiers have been fighting and dying in Iraq since 2003, and Americans do not know why.
All the reasons President Bush gave us for his war are false. Bush said he invaded Iraq "to disarm Iraq of weapons of mass destruction, to end Saddam Hussein’s support for terrorism, and to free the Iraqi people."
We now know that these were false claims. Disinformation about Iraq was produced by a special unit within the Pentagon run by Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and Feith. The unit operated outside the normal intelligence channels of the CIA and DIA. Its purpose was to create false intelligence to enable Bush to initiate war with Iraq.
Did President Bush know that the claims put into his speeches by his speechwriters was false?
Who instructed Bush’s speechwriters to incorporate known lies into the President’s speeches?
Why did Vice President Cheney, the Secretary of State, the National Security Advisor, and the Secretary of Defense all lie to the American people and to the entire world?
What is the real agenda?
Millions of Americans have come to their own conclusions about the reasons for Bush’s invasion:
- Oil: the US government wants to hold on to power by expanding its control over oil, and Bush and Cheney want to reward their oil company cronies.
- Military-security complex: Police agencies favor war as a means of expanding their power, and military industries favor war as a means of expanding their profits.
- Neoconservative ideology: Neocons’ believe in "American exceptionalism" and claim that America’s virtue gives the US government the right and the obligation to impose US hegemony on the rest of the world, especially in the Middle East where independent Muslim states object to Israel’s theft of Palestine.
- Karl Rove: Rove used the "war president" role to rescue Bush from attack by Democrats as an illegitimate president elected by one vote of the US Supreme Court.
- American self-righteousness over 9/11 and lust for revenge.
All of these reasons came together to make a cruel war on an innocent people.
There may be other reasons about which we know not.
As it is now recognized that every reason for the war is false or illegitimate, the question is: why does Bush insist on persisting with a costly war, the express reasons for which are now known to be mistakes? There were no weapons of mass destruction, no connections to al Qaeda, and Bush has installed a puppet Iraqi government that cannot venture outside the heavily fortified and US protected "green zone." The Iraqi government governs nothing.
War without cause is murder, not war.
That Bush persists with a war for which he can provide no legitimate reason indicates that there is a secret agenda that has not been shared with the American people. Are we experiencing the privatization of the US government by police agencies, the military-security complex, and the Israel Lobby?
That the American people and their elected representatives continue to tolerate a war that has killed and maimed thousands of their own soldiers, destroyed the infrastructure of a country, killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians and created 4 million refugees for no known reason raises serious questions about the morals of the American people.
Is the impotence of the peace movement due to the power of the Israel Lobby or have Americans become morally degenerate as commentators increasingly assert?
One indication would be the response of presidential candidates to the gratuitous and failed war. What we saw at the Republican presidential candidates’ debate on June 5 is inconsistent with the self-esteem of the American people. All of the leading Republican presidential candidates openly and nonchalantly endorsed using nuclear weapons against Iran unless Iran abandons its right to enrich uranium under the non-proliferation treaty, to which Iran is a signatory (unlike nuclear-armed Israel, India, and US puppet Pakistan).
What is moral degeneracy if it is not using nuclear weapons to murder masses of innocent civilians and spread deadly radioactivity over vast areas merely in order to force a country to do as we order? If this isn’t barbarism, what is barbarism?
Do the American people realize that the frontrunners for the Republican presidential nomination are monsters who want to murder people who have done us no harm?
After five years of war that has achieved no noble purpose, no valid aim, indeed, no aim at all except perhaps Osama bin Laden’s aim of stirring up uncontrollable strife in the Middle East, how can Republicans cheer for candidates who preach a wider war and the use of nuclear weapons against defenseless people?
Is the approval lavished on Republican presidential candidates, who are willing to use nuclear weapons as means of terrorizing Muslim peoples, an indication that the American people have morphed into inhuman monsters?
If not, what does it indicate? Ignorant fanaticism? Paranoia? Blind hatred? The belief that no one is of any value but Americans?
For six and one-half years the Bush Regime has relied on coercion, intimidation, war, and threats of war. Diplomacy and good will have been shunned. The regime’s blatant warmongering has resurrected the nuclear arms race. China and Russia regard America’s drive for world hegemony with great alarm. China has put nuclear ICBMs on mobile platforms to increase their survivability in event of an American attack. Russia has developed new multi-warhead ICBMs, which can penetrate any known missile defense, and new cruise missiles that Putin says will be targeted on Europe if the US persists in its aggressive military encirclement of Russia.
An administration that resurrects the threat of nuclear Armageddon so that its cronies in the military-security complex can become still richer is evil beyond compare.

in whatever he said about US government, corporations and people in general. Unfortunately there is nothing outside of what he mentioned that is valid argument for US foreign and domestic policies. US citizens have morally degenerated to the point of no return. That is why they facilitated creation and expansion of Zionist(satanists) global corporations who in turn dictates political arena not just in US but worldwide. Zion-Antichrist banking elite with enormous financial power wields the sword of destruction over the head of any nation, or even super-nation (US,USSR, China) for that mater, capable to destroy almost overnight anyone who dares to challenge its supremacy. I am sad that a dream of free world has died with hijacking of US by Freemasons coming to US and installing the first US president George Washington. The American war of independence was hijacked by Freemasons rather planned to create safe haven for European freemasonry and creation of superpower that will enable them to establish NWO and their dream of global regime. UN is just experimental probing of such hegemonic policies dictated by the freemasonry elite who has created pyramidal hiearchy ensuring that lower level never knows what upper echelon is doing or planning. only top layer in the pyramid knows that the eye on top of pyramid is Antichrist. Ordinary lower levels of Freemasons are almost completely ignorant of the true nature of freemasonry. They actually believe that they society stands for something good like most American or western citizens think that their nations stand for freedom and human rights. What they don't want you to know is that all along shadowy figures were literally sacrificing millions of workers worldwide fr their satanic agenda and that they are so demented to actually involve into ritual satanic sacrificing of the human beings in places like Bohemian grove (over and underground). Bloodthirsty individuals that you thought to be fiction rendered by the Hollywood writers are based on real characters and real satanic culture. Now you know why so much bloodsheds around the world. Now you know why they are killing thousands of children every day (look at statistics). Now you know why they want to nuke countries around the world. These individuals have no human traits anymore cause they turned into devils themselves. Alex Jones latest edition of "Terror Storm" clearly exposes their evil nature and agenda that is unfolding in front of our eyes. How much proof we need that we don't have freedom, no human rights secured by any law which can be broken by present presidents and policing agencies. We are living the age portrayed in the recent Hollywood "fiction" Vendetta. What future you can expect from Presidents like Bush, the commander in chief, who has the last word on the nuclear red button. They will use their nukes on its own citizens if they dare to challenge their satanic regime, in fact they already did as part of the numerous nuclear tests. They will do it again if sufficiently threatened by their population. Those tunnels built underground across US are meant for the protection of the worshipers of the god of underground, Satan. Bush sitting in class over 20 minutes while his country is under attack is against all security protocols. Why? Because he and his satanic comrades were attacking it, so why should he worry about his safety. In the same way he did not care about sacrificing thousands of NY citizens on 911 he does not care about US soldiers killed in Iraq, Afghanistan or anywhere else. Do you know that the satanic rite in Bohemian grove is called 'the sacrifice of care". Bush dynasty has its own lodge in that place. Do you think that he goes there to have a tea or food unavailable in White House. Do you think that world elite is going there to relax over informal chat about natural beauty of Californian geography. They are sacrificing care about mankind which is doomed to complete destruction by the satanists of the Bohemian grove. If you think that nobody is that crazy to use nukes on Iran or any other country including US than think again. Nukes are invented by satanist sneaked in US by the CIA from NAZI scientific echelon. Those so called Jews who worked on the nuclear project were satanist and Satan orders one thing "Obey me or die in my infernal wrath (nuclear obliteration)." No weapon was ever created if it was not meant to be used for subduing opponents. Satan knows that Muslims will never worship him and he has very simple solution for that "Nuke them all, one by one", for he does not care. Radiation does not affect Satan and his hordes. He does not care how many of his supporters will perish in that war of the worlds. Crazed world leaders are not humans anymore. Their DNA has changed to accommodate demoniacal nature of their souls so no wonder that guys like David Icke regards them to be reptilians, in fact they are not far from truth. Human being by its structure can become holy like an angel and evil like a demon. Both dispositions are embedded in fundamental DNA structure of human being. That is one of the reasons why Almighty says in last chapter of the Holy Qur'an "Seek refuge in God from the devils among Jinn and Humans." Last chapter of the Last Testament is very applicable to the last days that we are living in. The previous two Testaments (Old and New) are talking about last days in very grim portrayal. Majority of mankind perishing in wars and plagues. According to Islamic tradition all believers with Jesus that will seek refuge from the Gog and Magog (possible underground creatures) will fit on mount Sinai. Now think there are 1.3 billion of Muslims today alone not including true believers of Christian denomination. How they can fit on such a small place as ravines of mount Sinai. Answer is simple and sad there wont be in billions but rather in thousands or at best a few hundred thousands. What happened to the rest...nukes, plagues etc. and when God and Magog is destroyed there will be some supernatural rain that will wash away infected Earth. Infected with what?! Radiation, killer viruses etc. In my opinion nukes will be used as tactical weapons with limited range of obliteration. Those who do not die on first impact will gradually perish from radiation fallout. If you look at the victims of radiation they are plagued by invisible virus like killer. Some people are more resistant and will live log enough to see fall of mankind in millions and billions. Some will even survive that horrible time because nobody can die if God does not want that. Survivors will join Jesus and go yet trough another trial with Gog and Magog and only after that Earth will be cleansed and shine in righteousness. I don't know if I will survive that trials and I don't know if any of you will survive that final battle for the Middle Earth but I do know this: I am a human being who knows right from wrong and who loves and appreciates human life. I want you to know that I love you guys not because you adhere to particular religion or so but because you stand for right against wrong even when you are faced with cruel satanic regimes that seek your demise. I pray to Almighty God for your safety and salvation and hope to see you at least in the hereafter face to face so I can say to you "It was an honor knowing you."
"Let there be Light!"
the feeling is mutual.
