No doubt why he sent our men and women to a useless war to die of Depleted Uranium! He said he thought that the war would end quickly! Yet his father, George HW Bush knew better. I quote from First Gulf War in which 250, 000 America troops who were in that war are now permanently disabled:
In his memoirs, A World Transformed, written more than five years ago, George Bush, Sr. wrote the following to explain why he didn't go after Saddam Hussein at the end of the Gulf War:
"Trying to eliminate Saddam .. would have incurred incalculable human and political costs. Apprehending him was probably impossible ... We would have been forced to occupy Baghdad and, in effect, rule Iraq ...there was no viable "exit strategy" we could see, violating another of our principles. Furthermore, we had been self-consciously trying to set a pattern for handling aggression in the post-Cold War world. Going in and occupying Iraq, thus unilaterally exceeding the United Nations' mandate, would have destroyed the precedent of international response to aggression that we hoped to establish. Had we gone the invasion route, the United States could conceivably still be an occupying power in a bitterly hostile land."
Who is the person who advises George W. Bush? His father the former president and CIA man. Don’t tell he didn’t know this would happen that we would be caught up in a no-win war! Why would anyone want to join the military in this type of situation? No one would in his or her right mind! As our military is stretched all over the world watch as we have disasters here at home till finally UN troops will be called at one big disaster because we have no troops at home and no young people want to join military to commit suicide in foreign lands. Yes and the troops in Iraq war now are suffering from experimental vaccines and Depleted Uranium as well as getting limbs blown off and getting killed! Don’t believe there is a draft coming!

An Interview with James Bamford
Inventing a Pretext for War
By KEVIN B. ZEESE
http://www.counterpunch.org/zeese05232005.html
Next, Pretext describes how the claims involving Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, the connections between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda, and Hussein's involvement with 9/11, were simply used as pretexts for a war long planned by a small group of neoconservatives supportive of the Israeli government's policies' and the expansion of U.S. military power throughout the Middle East. It examines how top Bush administration officials Richard Perle, Douglas Feith and David Wurmser first drafted a war plan outlining an attack on Iraq, and removal of Saddam Hussein, in 1996. But the document, titled "A Clean Break," was drafted for Israel, not the United States. At the time, the three were acting as advisors to newly elected Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. "Israel can shape its strategic environment," they wrote. "This effort can focus on removing Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq an important Israeli strategic objective." Not satisfied with regime change in Iraq, they went on to recommend that Israel continue to "shape its strategic environment" by "rolling back Syria."
