Editorial: Lies fueled march to war

The more we learn about the Bush administration's march to war against Iraq, the more disgusting it becomes.

Last week there was the news that administration officials, including National Security Adviser Condeleezza Rice, were told on several occasions that those tubes they claimed Saddam Hussein was going to use to produce nuclear bombs were actually tubes that would be used to manufacture small artillery shells.

Even though Rice was informed of that on at least three occasions, she continued to claim in testimony to Congress and speeches to the public that the tubes represented "proof" that Saddam was in the process of producing weapons of mass destruction.

Now this week, the weapons researcher who was dispatched to find the truth about the weapons reports that Saddam had destroyed them in 1991 and 1992, a full decade before George W. Bush and his bevy of neocons decided we needed to link him with the war on terror.

Thousands of young American men and women are casualties in this war. More than a thousand have died. Many more will continue to be killed and injured unless this country figures out a way to get us out of the mess George Bush has started.Instead of fighting the war on terror, capturing Osama bin Laden and spending money on our own domestic security, Bush went after a pitiful and, yes, ruthless dictator. That decision continues to cost us dearly and we're less safe today than before.

The first step has to be to replace this president before he does more damage.
