Myths About the War in Iraq--John Hawkins

Myths of the War

In a most prescient manner, John Hawkins thoroughly debunks the current myths promoted by Bush haters. Here is his leadin:

"Myths debunked in this column include:
1) George Bush lied about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
2) A study released in March of 2003 by a British medical journal, the Lancet, showed that 100,000 civilians had been killed as a result of the US invasion.
3) The Bush Administration claimed Iraq was responsible for 9/11.
4) The war in Iraq was actually planned by people like Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and Paul Wolfowitz back in 1998 at a think tank called the Project for the New American Century.
5) The war on terror has nothing to do with Iraq.
6) Saddam Hussein had no ties to terrorism.
7) Saddam Hussein had no ties to Al-Qaeda.
8) The Downing Street Memo proves Bush lied to the American people about the war.

Many of these myths I have fought myself in just about the same terms either here, or in one of the blogs I post in. I offer the link here in the hope that many others will read the full article.
