US newspapers swallow Bush lies

IN recent weeks, mass-market US newspapers have taken to a constant drumbeat asserting that attacks in Iraq are ‘linked’ to al-Qaida.

What these papers fail to mention is that the ‘linkage’ is but the latest lie of the Bush regime that has been swallowed whole by the same media that convinced many Americans that Saddam Hussein was behind 9/11.

The latest articles fail to point out that the people of Iraq are sick and tired of an occupying power that has killed more than 650,000 of their fellow-citizens in order to turn over Iraqi oil to the multinational oil cartel.

As with Vichy France, those fighting for the liberation of Iraq take a dim view of collaborators. And as with America during its Revolutionary War, the people of Iraq are willing to form alliances with those they might otherwise have serious differences with in order to obtain freedom from an empire abroad.

The creation of the USA began with fighting a mentally-disturbed king by the name of George who sought to subjugate a nation. Today we Americans are ruled by a demented president, also named George, who has asserted powers far beyond those of a mere king and who likewise seeks to plunder far beyond his shores.
