My List of DU'ers WHO DID NOT BELIEVE Bush LIES about Invading Iraq!

72. Afghanistan was for oil. The route to the Caspian sea. Robert Sheer among other great

journalists made that pretty clear even the summer before 9/11. And to put bases all over that region as we have done. And to give them some due, before 9/11, the NYT was publishing stories about Afghanistan as the route to the Caspian Sea. Our media KNEW Afghanistan was also a lie but remained silent and to a great extent, still do, in order not to be attacked as some of our best and most honest journalists were.

But THEY were right as history will show. There was no reason to invade a country that had zero to do with 9/11. Most of the people in Afghanistan did not even know what happened on 9/11 or why there were foreign soldiers in their country.

To accomplish the goal of gaining control of the region, Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld, even as they railed against 'Dictator Saddam Hussein', were making deals with Karamov of Uzbekistan one of the worst dictators in the region and Rummy, just as he once brought gifts from Ronald Reagan to Saddam Hussein, was delivering money to Karamov. It was hard to believe anything the Bush Regime said about anything, when every action they took contradicted every word they said.

I opposed the invasion of Afghanistan also and still do. It has been a horrific crime against the people there and shameful what we have done to those people, in every way.
