Truth Crushed To Eart Will Rise Again

Truth Crushed To Earth Shall Rise Again



“NEW YORK Half of all Americans, exactly 50%, now say the Bush administration deliberately misled Americans about whether Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, the Gallup Organization reported this morning."This is the highest percentage that Gallup has found on this measure since the question was first asked in late May 2003," the pollsters observed. "At that time, 31% said the administration deliberately misled Americans. This sentiment has gradually increased over time, to 39% in July 2003, 43% in January/February 2004, and 47% in October 2004." Also, according to the latest poll, more than half of Americans, 54%, disapprove of the way President Bush is handling the situation in Iraq, while 43% approve. In early February, Americans were more evenly divided on the way Bush was handling the situation in Iraq, with 50% approving and 48% disapproving. Last week Gallup reported that 53% now believe that the U.S. invasion of Iraq was "not worth it." But Frank Newport, editor in chief at Gallup, recalled today that although a majority of the public began to think the Vietnam war was a mistake in the summer of 1968, the United States did not pull out of Vietnam for more than five years, after thousands of more American lives were lost.”- www.Editorandpublisher.com Published: April 26, 2005 11:45 AM ET

An April 26, 2005 blurb in the online edition of Editor and Publisher a journal that covers the newspaper industry pointed out a recent Gallup poll indicated 50% of AmeriKKKans now openly say they believe the Bush administration misled (a euphemism for lied) to the public about Iraq’s WMD. Ironically on the same date the US Chief Weapons Inspector released its own report saying “inquires into Iraqi weapons of mass destruction have gone as far as feasible.” Charles Duelfer head of the Iraq Study Group was quoted in the BBC News Online edition of 04-26-05 as saying, “After more than 18 months, the WMD investigation and debriefing of the WMD-related detainees has been exhausted.” In other words all the searching and all the torture and abuse of Iraqis revealed there were no WMD! The Iraq Study Group was formed in 2003. Its’ first head, David Kay resigned in 2004 because he stated categorically no WMD would be found in Iraq. After extensive search by 1,200 experts from the US, Britain and Australia the ISG finally admitted what many people feared, there were no WMD in Iraq. What does this mean? It means Bush and Co: Cheney, Powell, Rice, Rumsfeld and the rest of the NeoConmen lied to start a war to invade a country that was not a threat to the US or its neighbors. It means the deaths of over 100,000 Iraqis, 1,500 US soldiers and the wounding maiming and traumatizing of countless other humans was all for nothing! How does that make you feel, Mr. And Mrs AmeriKKKa? How do you feel now that you know you have been chumped and punked by Bush and Co? Not that it’s any consolation but most African-Americans, 76% to be exact opposed the war because we know how white AmeriKKKa rolls, having experienced the brunt of its terror and brutality for four centuries. Now how does the rest of AmeriKKKa feel knowing that the distrust, contempt and loathing the world feels towards you is justified? How do you feel knowing AmeriKKKans razed and destroyed Fallujah for nothing? What about the journalists US soldiers shot and killed? Does that make you sleep sounder knowing AmeriKKKa went to war based on the lies of megalomaniacal sociopaths? How does it make you feel knowing we’ve allowed our young people to be put in harm’s way because of oil and empire yet the price of gas is higher now than any time before the invasion of Iraq and its still rising?!! Do you feel safer now knowing more and more people around the world hate us not for “our freedoms” as our village idiot says but because we’ve killed thousands of innocent men women and children who come from a culture that demands revenge: an eye for an eye, tooth for tooth and blood for blood?
How do you feel now AmeriKKKa knowing you’ve been duped and lied to? If the falling military recruitment numbers are any indication, young folks are taking a fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me attitude. The good news is they are shunning signing up to be cannon fodder for Uncle Sam’s latest crusade for oil and empire. If the rising number of taxpayers refusing to pay taxes to a government that initiated an immoral and illegal war are any indication, people are starting to wake up. Maybe Abraham Lincoln was correct when he observed, “you can fool some of the people all of the time, all of the people some of the time but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.” If a recent Gallup poll is any indication more and more folks are realizing truth crushed to earth will rise again.
