The Bush Adminstration Knew There Were No WMDs – Iraq War Deception Exposed------Bush Knew There Were No WMDs - Jokes About the Lie that Resulted in Over 100,000 Deaths

Last week, while reading the following text from the article “Washington Thinks You Are Stupid” by Paul Craig Roberts, I was reminded of a video (see the video below) of George W. Bush making a big joke about the failure to find Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs) in Iraq:

“There’s the old saying that if the government fears the people, there is liberty, but if the people fear the government there is tyranny. The criminals in Washington not only do not fear us, they do not respect us. Washington looks upon Americans as stupid sheeple.

“Washington believes that it can tell the population anything and the people will believe it…

“And don’t forget those nonexistent weapons of mass destruction that Saddam Hussein was alleged by Washington to possess. Or the Gulf of Tonkin fake event when Washington claimed that its warship was attacked by North Vietnam. Really, the list of official lies is very long. Anyone who believes anything that Washington says is too naive to be let out of the house alone. But Americans believe the lies, because that is what they think patriotism requires.”

Dying Iraq War Veteran Tomas Young Reacts to George W. Bush Joke About Missing WMDs:

The WMD lie resulted in at least 100,000 deaths (and as many as 1.4 million deaths according to anti-war.com). Before we look at the evidence that Bush planned a regime change in Iraq from Day One of his administration, ignored intelligence reports indicating that there were no WMDs in Iraq, and promoted dubious intelligence as fact in order to start a war in Iraq, let’s watch comedian Bush joke about not finding WMDs at the annual dinner of the Radio and Television Correspondents in March, 2004 (also see the March 2004 BBC article: “Bush’s Iraq WMDs joke backfires”), and a response by dying Iraq War veteran Tomas Young, who was paralyzed by a bullet to the spine while deployed in Iraq:

(Note: Bush’s presented his WMD joke at the Radio and Television Correspondents dinner in March, 2004 – not the 2005 White House Correspondents Dinner as indicated in the above video).

Bush Sought Regime Change in Iraq from Day ONE of His Administration

In the above video, Lesley Stahl’s60 Minutes interview with Bush’s first Treasury Secretary, Paul O’Neill, which aired in early January, 2004, O’Neill revealed that regime change (getting rid of Saddam Hussein) in Iraq was Bush’s main focus from the very beginning of his administration. See the transcript below that.

Stahl: “And what happened in President Bush’s very first National Security Council meeting is one of O’Neill’s most startling revelations.”

O’Neill: “From the very beginning, there was a conviction that Saddam Hussein was a bad person and that he needed to go.”

Stahl: “He said that going after Saddam was topic ‘A’ 10 days after the inauguration – eight months before Sept. 11.”

Ron Suskind (author of the book “The Price of Loyalty” in which O’Neill was a significant contributor. O’Neill gave Suskind 19,000 internal documents): “From the very first instance, it was about Iraq. It was about what we can do to change this regime.”

Stahl: “Now everybody else thought that grew out of 9/11.”

Suskind: “No”

Stahl: “But this book says it was day one of this administration.”

Suskind: “Day one, these things were laid and sealed.”
