Five Biggest Lies Bush Told Us About Iraq

Here are the five biggest lies Bush told us about the Iraq war according to a book written by Lakshmi Chaudhry, Christopher Scheer, and Robert Scheer:

  1. Al-Qaida Ties To Iraq
  2. Iraq's Chemical And Biological Weapons
  3. Iraq's Nuclear Weapons
  4. The Iraq War Will Be A Cakewalk
  5. Iraq As A Democratic Model For The Middle East
The Al-Qaida/Osama Bin Ladin ties to Iraq were heavily pushed by right wing talking heads and leaders of the Republican Party prior to the invasion of Iraq in 2003. This is the one lie that probably convinced a large segment of America to support regime change in Iraq.

These lies have led to 2,929 American military deaths and over 500,000 Iraqis being killed. Bush misled the public and Congress and he deserves to be impeached. I doubt if the newly elected Democratic Party leaders of Congress will have the balls to go after George W. Bush.

The people of America put the Democratic Party back into power because they wanted a change in the way America does business but it looks like the Democratic Party is more concerned about maintaining power than doing what is right.
