An Open Letter to George Bush from Michael Rivero, Editor, What Really Happened:whatreallyhappened.com Dear Mr. Bush The mainstream news programs today are announcing your declaration that the pre-invasion intelligence on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction were accurate. Well, Mr. Bush, you cannot have it both ways. If those reports are accurate, where are the weapons? Every site that intelligence pinpointed turned out to be empty when the UN inspectors showed up. The trailers turned out to be hydrogen generators. The empirical evidence is that the intelligence wasn't very accurate at all. More to the point, it is beyond question that the portion of the intelligence presented to the United Nations by Colin Powell was stolen from a 12 year old student paper and backed up by outdated photographs. So, again the empirical evidence is that the pre-invasion intelligence on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction is NOT accurate, indeed it is fraudulent. In short Mr. Bush, having been caught lying to the world about Iraq's WMDs, your response is to try to lie to us AGAIN. I'm already angry over the lies, but now I am insulted. You must think we are all pretty dumb if you think such a blatant attempt at yet another lie stands any chance of success. Yes, the mainstream media will go along with it. They went along with the other lies and are neck-deep in this scandal right next to you, and they don't want to lose their wonderful new FCC rules. But do not for a second assume that the smiling acceptance of your lies by the media means that anyone else will fall for them. We The People are not as stupid as you seem to assume, nor are you as clever as you imagine. Otherwise you would not have sat reading about goats for another 20 minutes after Andy Card told you about the second plane impact at the WTC. It is bad enough that you lied to the world to start a war, Mr. Bush. You have forever tainted the people of the United States with your actions. But to try to lie yet again, and with such a clumsy and obvious lie adds insult to injury, showing to the world that you think Americans are gullible idiots who, after having been made total fools once already, will turn right around and obediently accept your assurances that black is white, up is down, war is peace, freedom is slavery, and ignorance is strength. That proverb you tried and failed to say at the podium goes, "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me." You are a liar, Mr. Bush, and only the mainstream media gives anything you say any weight. You should leave, Mr. Bush. You cannot function as President any more, because nobody will trust you. Were a genuine emergency to appear, how could you rally the support of America behind you, when none dare listen to you for fear of being made a fool before the world one more time? You drag the credibility of the entire government down with you, and a government that cannot be trusted by the people cannot rule. What citizens will tell the truth under a government that rules by lies? How to we teach our young ones to be adults when our leaders act like such children? How do we have a nation of laws while ruled by criminals? You should leave, Mr. Bush. Nixon had the honor and decency to leave over his lies, and his lies didn't murder thousands of people like yours did. Clinton was impeached over his lies about sex with an intern. Do you really think you can escape impeachment over lies used to start a war and destroy another nation? You are history, Mr. Bush, the blackest point of the history of the White House and of our nation.
