The other day Dick Cheney said , " ...that the surge had made significant progress". Sorry Dick. After app. 1 million Iraqi deaths and 2 million Iraqis forced to flee their country and countless physically and mentally maimed, " ...the surge has made significant progress" doesn't make the crime of the invasion O.K. .
And by the way. Cheney's hand in developing and spreading bogus Iraq pre war intelligence included the lie that Saddam Hussein tried to buy yellowcake from Niger. Hence the Plamegate scandal. The yellowcake was proof that Hussein had restarted his nuclear weapons program. You know, the spector of " mushroom clouds" promised by Cheney, Bush, Rice, Powell and The New York Times. But didn't Hussein need a nuclear reactor to process the yellowcake to make weapons- grade plutonium? But Hussein had no reactor. The Iraqi Osirak reactor was bombed and disabled in 1981 by the Israelis. And in 1991 it was completely destroyed by the U.S. .
QUESTION: Why didn't any opponents of the war ask the question about the need of a reactor before the invasion?
ANSWER: Representatives in lobby-run governments are NOT paid to ask questions.
