The Truth Has a Way of Coming Out

Almost five years later, and most Americans now know the truth about what George Bush used as facts to get us into a war in Iraq. We now know there were no weapons of mass destruction. There were no aluminum tubes that could be used in the production of uranium enrichment. Iraq had no means to fly over here and spread chemical weapons, and for the same reason, Iraq was not going to explode a bomb that would produce a "mushroom shaped" cloud over an American city.

All that kind of talk by George Bush was a lie, and we now know the truth.

Today we hear from George Bush and his cronies that things are going better in Iraq and Afghanistan. Just last Friday President Bush and Hamid Karzai, George's Puppet President of Afghanistan, were both in New York telling the world about all the advances that have been made in Afghanistan since the ouster of the Taliban almost six years ago.

Now get this, the very next day after doing some "sound bites" with George Bush, President Karzai offered to meet with (as McClatchy Newspapers describe him), the Taliban's spiritual and political leader, Mullah Mohammad Omar.

Mullah Omar is the Taliban leader we have been trying to capture for as long as we have been trying to capture Osama bin Laden. Both men were public enemy #1 when we first attacked Afghanistan, and both men have continued to battle us ever since. But now, if you listened to Bush and Karzai, you would think that war was long over.

Of course "truth" always gets in the way of "spin." George Bush and the American media might think the war in Afghanistan has been over for some time, but this week the UN came out with a report that says "Afghanistan is currently suffering its most violent year since the 2001 U.S.-led intervention."

The UN report says there are now 525 security incidents every month in Afghanistan. The "incidents" could be bombings, abductions, or terrorism of other kinds. That works out to over 17 incidents a day, every day, seven days a week.

Time after time, the truth seems to come out at the wrong time for Bush, and over and over he gets caught in a lie. You would think that by now the man would see the error of his ways, and he would start telling the truth.
