Poll question: Why do leading Democrats lie about the Iraq invasion?

The gang of criminals who now control the US state apparatus got there because Corporate America bought into the PNAC strategy for the expansion of multinational capitalism throughout the middle east and beyond, and making the people and natural resources of that area subservient parts of the global economy.

They laid out their plans and strategy clearly for all to read, and signed their names to that plan long before the election of 2000. Yet, with very few exceptions, Democrats talk about that brutal invasion only in the language of the PNAC cabal. You know: "Spreading 'democracy' - is it working in Iraq?" Fighting 'terrorism' - does this war help?" "War would have been good policy but there were no WMD."

Gore (when running), Kerry, Clinton, Biden, Murtha, Dean, Edwards -- name your favorite. They talk about the pros and cons of the Cons' talking points, but they effectively conceal the real truth.

1. One possibility is they are truly ignorant of the strategy behind the invasion.

2. A second is that they are truly indifferent; they don't care, and just say whatever they think will get them votes or money.

3. Another is that they know but are truly afraid of challenging the corporate interests that backed the PNAC plan.

4. A fourth is that they agree with the PNAC strategy but only object to the failures.

5. A fifth is that they regard it as part of their role in politics to keep the American people from understanding how things work; that this deception is a good thing that is needed to keep American capitalism working.

Why do leading Democrats lie about the Iraq invasion?
