Why Bush & Blair proved the war Criminals?
Time’s March 31 road to war story and other disclosed evidences of New American Century with 40 open lies of Bush Blair and their top administration.
Washington Web: Throughout the years leading up to war, the White House publicly maintained that the U.S. took weapons inspections seriously, they lied again and again that diplomacy would get its chance, that Saddam had the opportunity to prevent a U.S invasion. It has been noted that how the Bush Administration has followed the road map of the idea of Rumsfeld’s deputy Paul Wolfowitz, in relation to New American Century and a draft document known as Defense Planning Guidance. The most pungent and concise evidence to the contrary comes from the president’s own mouth.
According to Time’s March 31 road to war story, Bush popped in on national security adviser Condi Rice one day in March 2002, interrupting a meeting on UN sanctions against Iraq. Getting a whiff of the subject matter, Paul Wolfowitz, peremptorily waved his hand and told her, “Fuck Saddam. We’re taking him out.” Clare Short, Tony Blair’s former secretary for international development, recently lent further credence to the anecdote. She told the London Guardian that Bush and Blair made a secret pact a few months afterward, in the summer of 2002, to invade Iraq in either February or March of this year. Last fall CBS News obtained meeting notes:
“Taken by a Rumsfeld aide at 2:40 on the afternoon of September 11, 2001. The notes indicate that Rumsfeld wanted the “best info fast. Judge whether good enough hit S.H. [Saddam Hussein] at same time. Not only UBL [Usama bin Laden]…. Go massive. Sweep it all up.”
Rumsfeld’s deputy Paul Wolfowitz, the Bushmen’s leading intellectual light, has long been rabid on the subject of Iraq. He reportedly told Vanity Fair writer Sam Tanenhaus off the record that he believes Saddam was connected not only to bin Laden and 9/11, but the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. The Bush administration’s foreign policy plan was not based on September 11, or terrorism; those events only brought to the forefront a radical plan for U.S. control of the post-Cold War world that had been taking shape since the closing days of the first Bush presidency.
Back then a small claque of planners, led by Wolfowitz, generated a draft document known as Defense Planning Guidance, which envisioned a U.S. that took advantage of its lone superpower status to consolidate American control of the world both militarily and economically, to the point where no other nation could ever reasonably hope to challenge the U.S. Toward that end it envisioned what we now call “preemptive” wars waged to reset the geopolitical table. After a copy of DPG (Defense Planning Guidance) as, was leaked to the New York Times, subsequent drafts were rendered a little less frank, but the basic idea never changed. In 1997 Wolfowitz and his true believers–Richard Perle, William Kristol, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld–formed an organization called Project for the New American Century to carry their cause forward. And though they all flocked around the Bush administration from the start, Wolfowitz never really embraced their plan until the events of September 11 left him casting around for a foreign policy plan.
The 40 open lies disclosed here:

The global war on terror is about confronting terrorist groups and the nations that harbor them. The United States does not make deals with terrorists or nations where they find safe lodging. Leave aside the blind eye that the U.S. has always cast toward Israel’s actions in the territories. How are the Bush men doing elsewhere vis-à-vis their announced principles? We can start with their fabrications and manipulations of Iraqi (weapons of Mass destruction) WMD evidence which, in the eyes of weapons inspectors, the UN Security Council, American intelligence analysts, and the world at large, did not pose any imminent threat.
The events of recent months have underscored a couple more gaping violations of W’s cardinal anti terror rules. Pentagon made a cooperation pact with the Mujahideen -e- Khalq (MEK), an anti-Iranian terrorist group based in Iraq. Prior to the 1979 Iranian revolution, American intelligence blamed it for the death of several U.S. nationals in Iran. Most glaring of all is the Bush administration’s remarkable treatment of Saudi Arabia. Consider: Eleven of the nineteen September 11 hijackers were Saudis. The ruling House of Saud has longstanding and well-known ties to al Qaeda and other terrorist outfits, which it funds (read protection money) to keep them from making mischief at home. The May issue of Atlantic Monthly had a nice piece on the House of Saud that recounts these connections.
Yet the Bush government has never said boo regarding the Saudis and international terrorism. In fact, when terror bombers struck Riyadh in May, hitting compounds that housed American workers as well, Colin Powell went out of his way to avoid tarring the House of Saud: “Terrorism strikes everywhere and everyone. It is a threat to the civilized world. We will commit ourselves again to redouble our efforts to work closely with our Saudi friends and friends all around the world to go after al Qaeda.” Later it was alleged that the Riyadh bombers purchased some of their ordnance from the Saudi National Guard, but neither Powell nor anyone else saw fit to revise their statements about “our Saudi friends.”
Why do the Bush men give a pass to the Saudi terror hotbed? Because the House of Saud controls a lot of oil, and they are still (however tenuously) on our side. And that, not terrorism, is what matters most in Bush’s foreign policy calculus. While the bomb craters in Riyadh were still smoking, Bush held a meeting with Philippine president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. Speaking publicly afterward, he outlined a deal for U.S. military aid to the Philippines in exchange for greater “cooperation” in getting American hands round the throats of Filipino terrorists. He mentioned in particular the U.S.’s longtime nemesis Abu Sayyaf–and he also singled out the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, a small faction based on Mindanao, the southernmost big island in the Philippine chain. Of course it’s by purest coincidence that Mindanao is the location of Asia’s richest oil reserves. Not long after the September 11 attacks, one conservative high priest Norman Podhoretz wrote: “One hears that Bush, who entered the White House without a clear sense of what he wanted to do there, now feels there was a purpose behind his election all along; as a born-again Christian, it is said, he believes he was chosen by God to eradicate the evil of terrorism from the world.”
The Palestinian prime minister, Mahmoud Abbas, told the Israeli newspaper Ha’aretz that Bush made the following pronouncement during a recent meeting between the two saying:
“God told me to strike at al Qaeda and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East.”
There is no doubt left behind that Bush Administration has followed the most dangerous ways to get hold of advantage of its lone superpower status to consolidate American control of the world both militarily and economically, to the point where no other nation could ever reasonably hope to challenge the U.S. Tony Blair has foolishly supported in these criminal activities equally. Even on the cost of millions and millions deaths and casualties of the human beings and the terrible consequences of the war on this globe. The Criminals Blair and Bush with their top administration should now be arrested immediately on the charges of War Crimes / Genocide. Which are evidently proved in their own country disclosures. Their trial must be taken under the terrorism act and the International Anti Terrorist Speedy Courts should start on priority as soon as possible. This will be the only way to stop terrorism around the Globe.
