“This is incredibly tawdry,” said Charles Lewis, director of the Center for
Public Integrity, an independent group that highlights the link between money
and politics. “That famous statue of the lady of justice with the blindfold --
this kind of throws that out the window. There is an incredible mercenary
element to this that implies that policy is bought and sold.”
In Ohio, Iraq Questions Shake Even Some of Bush’s Faithful
http://www.commondreams.org/headlines03/0717-01.htm
CINCINNATI, July 16 -- Jim Stock voted for George W. Bush in 2000 and says that
if the election were held tomorrow, he’d vote for President Bush again. But he
says he is troubled by indications that the White House used questionable
intelligence about Iraqi efforts to buy uranium in Africa to push for war in
Iraq. And he wants a fuller accounting.
“I’d like to know whether there was any deliberate attempt to deceive,” said Mr.
Stock, 70, a retired public school administrator. “My feeling is there was not.
But there was an eagerness in the administration to pursue the battle and to
believe information that wasn’t quite good.”
“It’s painful to say,” he added, “but I don’t like where this is coming down.”
The motive for nearly everything our govt. does is the same at every level: to
please and thereby obtain money from its corporate masters. You don’t need to
wonder about Shrub’s motive -- simply ask who stood to gain the most from these
wars we’ve been waging.
May these thoughts keep you warm at night after your children come home in body
bags.
