A newly released memo shows that in 2002 then British Prime
Minister Tony Blair pledged his support to the Bush Administration for an
invasion of Iraq a full year before the attack took place. During that year, he
lied continuously to the British people claiming that he was seeking peaceful
means for dealing with Iraq, while he had actually committed himself to be part
of an armed invasion of that country.
That’s bad enough, but it also strengthens the argument made
by some that the Bush administration had been planning an attack on Iraq from
day one. Depending on where you stand, 9/11 was the fortunate Pearl Harbor
moment that allowed the administration an opening to invade Iraq, or was a
government orchestrated event intended for just that purpose.
It has to make one wonder. We know Cheney and Bush wanted
very badly to bring down Saddam Hussein, that they were loathe to leave the
vast oil reserves in Iraq to an avowed enemy and (from the PNAC documents)
wanted a strong military presence in the Middle East. So along comes 9/11, and
in our moment of panic, the media and the American people gave the neocons in
the administration a blank check to take away our Constitutional rights at home
and kill hundreds of thousands of people in the Mideast. Doesn’t that strike
you as an amazing coincidence? On a
September morning early in Bush’s first term, the physical manifestations of
our economic and military might are attacked and thousands of Americans die,
and this event allows him to do exactly what he and Cheney and the other
administration necons want to do.
For me, it is too much of a coincidence. From my
reading and research, I am convinced 9/11 was an inside job, a false flag
event, intended to gain support for an illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq.
