twitterLetter: Bush’s vendetta against Saddam war’s only reason
Wednesday, May 5, 2004 | 10:03 a.m.
While the Bush administration keeps telling us we are at war, it should be noted that we are actually fighting two wars. The first and a proper one is the one on terrorism. The second one is the abomination in Iraq that President Bush has led us into.
Americans gave their unanimous support to the attack on Iraq, only because we were assured in no uncertain terms that Saddam was not just another evil dictator, but had chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction and was poised to use them. That he was seeking uranium and aluminum tubes for his nuclear weapons program, and that he worked with and supported al-Qaida. None of which is true.
So our splendid military has suffered more than 700 dead and many thousands more permanently disabled because Mr. Bush detested Saddam Hussein. He doesn't deserve to be our president.
