Bush Reveals True Reason for War in Push for Iraqi Agreement
Image by James Gordon via FlickrHuffington Post - For five years the Bush administration has played wack-a-mole with the American people as to why we are in Iraq, with a new justification quickly spawning after the hollow core of the prior position was exposed. WMD’s was followed by fighting Al Qaeda and ultimately bringing democracy to the Middle East. Last week the proverbial mole may have met his maker and exposed the true reason over a million Americans have been put in harm’s way.
In May 2004, President Bush explained that our mission in Iraq was “to see the Iraqi people in charge of Iraq for the first time in generations.” A week into his second term, Bush said he would “absolutely” honor any request for withdrawal of U.S. troops by a sovereign Iraqi government, only to then ignore multiple request over the next three years and polls showing near unanimous support among Iraqi’s for a timeline for withdrawal.
