Bush lied -- people died! sierratimes.com By Larry A. Jones Bush lied -- people died. There, I've said it. Bush lied -- people died. There, I've said it again. It's no longer a debatable issue. The 'Downing Street Memo' proves the "fix" was in. Bush had plans to invade Iraq long before 9-11, all he needed was an excuse. So he 'fixed the facts.' Yet, in spite of the fact that we now know that there were no weapons of mass destruction, that Saddam and Bin Laden had no real connection, that Saddam never was, and never could be, any real threat to the U.S., the facts were tweaked to suit the rhetoric and so, Bush lied -- people died. The media is pretending this smoking gun is just another gripe. But this revelations does not originate from some disgruntled former employee, it's an official document from the office of the Prime Minister of Great Britain. And it has not been discredited or denied by either the White House or Downing Street. Congress has asked for clarification from the White House weeks ago, but has received no response. And no one is asking anymore. Why? Kerry was going to bring the issue before the Senate but has since wimped out. Why? Bush lied -- people died -- and the media and Congress were obviously complicit and still are. The only explanation for their unwillingness to act is that they were in on it from the beginning. Otherwise, why is not the media demanding Bush's impeachment for perpetrating this fraud on the American people? Why is not Congress beginning impeachment proceedings for this unwarranted, unConstitutional and unjustified war built on the lies and deception of the White House warmongers? Bush can no longer blame "bad intelligence" from the CIA. The intelligence was correct -- there was no threat. But once tweaked and rewritten and bolstered up by rumors and innuendo --'fixed,' as the memo states, Congress bought it, hook, line and sinker. It wasn't true. It wasn't bad intel. It was an outright lie. As Huxley once said: "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you mad as hell." But where's the anger from Congress? Where's the outrage from the media? Only conspirators remain silent in the face of such compelling evidence. Bush lied -- people died. Unfortunately, it's just that simple.
