You think it's a jump from war on Iraq to the issue of illegal immigration? I think not. Iraq is not invading our country, Mexico is. Iraq is not claiming U.S. territory. Mexico is. Iraq is not bankrupting U.S. municipalities with millions of welfare seekers and flooding our courts and prisions with criminals who murder us, steal from us and suck up our tax dollars. Mexico is. U.S. Security is not threatened by Iraq but by Mexico. If you're spoiling for a war with someone, then go to war with a bona fide enemy not a manufactured one.
What a surprise that 10 government investigations of Israel's attack on the U.S.S. Liberty (by a government controlled by the very people they're investigating) exonerated Israel. The same government that conducted a half dozen or so investigations of Pearl Harbor and (and couldn't find any evidence that FDR knew of the attack in advance) and the Kennedy Assassination (If you believe the Warren Commission Report you're the only person I've ever encountered who did).
When was the last time the U.S. Government told you the truth?
Your "points" on Iraq are simply pro-war propaganda. There is no "evidence" linking Saddam to 9/11. And as far as the potential problems of Iraq having nuclear weapons, they are the same problems that exist with respect to every government having them. For better or for worse, nuclear science is as much a part of the modern world as indoor plumbing and electricity.
This is the same mindless drivel that has caused the US to be stampeded into war after war throughout the 20th century. Iraq is in the same position as Spain in 1898. The last thing Spain wanted to do was fight anyone, much less the US. And suddendly our battleship Maine blows up in Havana harbor and there has never been a shred of evidence that Spain had anytihing to do with it. Who do you think really blew up the Maine?
The lies that stampeded us into WWI and WWII are too well known to be repeated. I shudder to think what lies we'll discover about 9/11 and this bogus trumped up war 25 or 30 years from now.
More recently, under Clinton we were told that we needed to go to war in the Balkans to prevent another "Holocaust" and ethnic cleansing. Clinton said 100,000 people had been mass murdered and Eleanor Clift, a reporter for Newsweek said 250,000 had been killed. (Where do these numbers come from?) An international team of forensic patholologists/ doctors went to that area after Clinton's war to investigate charges of mass murder that were used to stampede American sheep into suporting another foreign war. They found evidence of 2,900 bodies (!) and concluded that most were killed on combat during the years of conflict in that area. There never was any "Holocaust". (By contrast, the American Civil War lasted only 4 years and took 400,000-600,000 l ives.)
Why is it that the only "ethnic cleansing" that America won't go to war over is the ethnic cleansing of white people from the southwestern states by Mexican and other foreign nationals who have illegally invaded our country? Mexican criminals cross over into the U.S., rob, steal, drug deal and murder and then flee back to Mexico from which they will not be extradited. In Los Angeles County alone, more than 60 murders have been attributed to Mexican nationals who fled back to Mexico from which they can't be extradited because Mexico does not appprove of the death penalty or even of life imprisonment. (A Mexican who shoots at and misses an American policeman can be brought back but if he's a good shot and kills someone and can make it back to Mexico, he's literally home free.) I have read that 2/3 of all homicides in Maricopa County (Phoenix) Arizona were commited by illegal aliens. We are not being invaded by Iraq. We are being invaded by Mexico.
Sadaam is not trying to register and confiscate my guns, secretly read my emails, secretly review my borrowing records at the public library, secretly reviewing my bank and other financial records, secretly search my home with out a warrant and God knows what else. George Bush is. ( I am a life long Republican and I voted for the idiot. What choice did I have?)
The "War on Terror" is a war on American freedom and civil rights by the American government and is based on lies and propaganda designed to stampede a bunch of sheep into supporting a pointless, unnecessary war and giving up their freedom in the name of "national security" and "patriotism."
