Forward: Don't miss the 'Bush Aid' quote. Next to last. How any person can deny what's going on is beyond me. They all but admit everything. I spose folks just don't want to know.
The Iraq War appears to be history's largest armed robbery:
"An audit by the U.S. Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction said U.S. auditors could not account for nearly $8.8 billion in Iraqi funds and the United States had not provided adequate controls for this money."
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/co ... 34_pf.htmlThe Nazis also stole from the people they exterminated, and that cash is still being tracked and reparations made. Ironically the Bush
family had a large hand in that too:

"See in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda."
- George W. Bush
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases ... 524-3.html"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."
- Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Propaganda Minister
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Lie#Go ... ited_quote"All propaganda must be popular and its intellectual level must be adjusted to the most limited intelligence among those it is addressed
to. Consequently, the greater the mass it is intended to reach, the lower its purely intellectual level will have to be. But if, as in
propaganda for sticking out a war, the aim is to influence a whole people, we must avoid excessive intellectual demands on our public, and too much caution cannot be exerted in this direction."
"The receptivity of the great masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan."
"[T]he masses are slowmoving, and they always require a certain time before they are ready even to notice a thing, and only after the simplest ideas are repeated thousands of times will the masses finally remember them."
- Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf
http://www.hitler.org/writings/Mein_Kampf/mkv1ch06.html"Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 in the attacks and prepared for war; liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to
prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers."
"Let me just put this in fairly simple terms: Al Jazeera now broadcasts the words of Senator Durbin to the Mideast, certainly putting our troops in greater danger. No more needs to be said about the motives of liberals."
- Karl Rove, advisor to President Bush
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/co ... 00097.html"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple
matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or
no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being
attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."
-- Hermann Goering, Nazi Reichsmarshall and Luftwaffe-Chief
http://www.snopes.com/quotes/goering.htm"The [Bush] aide said that guys like me were ''in what we call the reality-based community,'' which he defined as people who ''believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible
reality.'' I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off. ''That's not the way the world really works anymore,'' he continued. ''We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality -- judiciously, as you will -- we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.'"

putting us on, or imbeciles who really mean it."
-Mark Twain
