The Lying Ideologues

The Prophet Grieves for American Parents

“Oh Muslims, in reference to our earlier observations about expert liars, there is one common outstanding attribute of most liars. He must be able to lie to himself so well that he can convince both himself and his victims that no lie is being told. If he is a national leader, this is accomplished by gearing the lie to correspond close enough to people’s fears and distorted perceptions of reality that the lie appeals to both themselves and to others as patriotism. Then the lie actually brings comfort and reassurance to the victims of the lie.

“An emotional and patriotic statement by the father of the severely injured and captured, Private Jessica Lynch, quoted in Time Magazine, is an example of this kind of patriotic response to an exceptionally deceptive and persuasive lie. But believing this particular lie has also brought immense comfort to many other parents whose sons and daughters have been needlessly killed, wounded or maimed as a result of the Bush/ Wolfowitz idealistic vision and grand scheme for realigning the Middle East. To these two visionaries, if it takes rivers of Iraqi and American blood to accomplish their visionary plan, they rationalize that the spilt blood is what proves their vision is so valuable.”

“The thankful but betrayed father’s words were:”

“If we hadn’t gone in over there they would have been over here next.”

“And so it is that the Bush propaganda machine still has multitudes of Americans believing that Iraqis had something to do with 9/11. Therefore, multitudes of Americans have allowed themselves to be brainwashed, that if the U.S. didn’t go over there and kill Iraqis, Iraqis were going to come to the U.S. and kill Americans in a similar or worse way than occurred on 9/11. Little do most American’s know about the U.S. vision to redesign the Mid East as written about in the April 9, 2003, Christian Science Monitor. This extensive, well researched article revealed how the U.S. being in Iraq today has little to do with Iraqi terrorists potentially attacking the U.S., but has much to do with the dreams and desires of certain U.S. and Israeli leaders for a remodeled Middle East.

“Key to the U.S. making a decision to use its power and military might to force Muslim Middle Eastern nations to convert to Democracy is one quite persuasive Israeli leader who was running around Washington D.C. Former Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu made his sales pitch before the war to U.S. leaders on how terror problems can be solved if the U.S. would use its military might to dismantle the regimes of sovereign Muslim nations and forcibly introduce Democracy to those Muslim nations.

“The article states:

“Within days of the (9/11) attacks Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criss crossed official Washington with a grand plan to deal with terrorism.”

“The problem with this strategy was that before the U.S. invasion, Iraq was not involved with terrorism. But, unscrupulous visionaries saw 9/11 as their opportunity to exploit the feelings of vulnerable, shell shocked Americans. Regretfully, however, the invasion, conquest and occupation which Mr. Netanyahu suggested would be able to prevent terrorism, due to the principle of unintended consequences, has brought that terrorism to Iraq that he intended to prevent throughout the world. Quite possibly it will prove to be the U.S. invasion and unwelcome occupation of Iraq that will soon bring that terrorism to America.

“Despite how ugly it is to say it, despite how many times George W. Bush repeats his deception that American sacrifices in Iraq makes Americans safer at home, there is an ugly, ugly, ugly, bottom line that is not being sung by the Bush chorus: The more Iraqi blood that is shed in Iraq, the more American blood that is being shed in Iraq, the more Italian blood, the more Spanish blood, the more U.K. blood, the more Jordanian blood, the more Egyptian blood, the more Indonesian blood, the more …, the more…, the stronger the revenge factor becomes against those living in America. Because, whether we like it or not, or whether its right or not, every drop of blood that has, is and will be shed in Iraq since Bush declared victory in Iraq, is being blamed by Islamic Radicals and by many Muslims who are not radical, on the bloody hands of George W. Bush and his fellow cheerleaders.

“President Hosni Mubarrak of Egypt warned again and again that the U.S. invasion of Iraq would grow multiple Bin Laden with bloodshed and revenge as their sustaining goal. But the U.S. chose not to listen. Instead, American leaders chose to listen to wealthy intellectual Iraqi dissidents living outside of Iraq, tell them that there would be consistent dancing in the streets when America freed Iraq from Saddam’s domination. So U.S. dreamers chose to those listen to Iraqi dreamers who for years had lived outside the hard realities of Iraq rather that to listen to an Egyptian realist who had actually smelled pools of blood that had been shed in his own Egyptian streets.

“The realist, Madeline Albright, in an article in the Foreign Affairs Journal contrasts the reality orientation of the Senior Bush with the elementary school cheerleader approach to war of little George W. who is now pretending to be the U.S. President. The two Bush’s were presenting their personal perspectives on whether to seek help against terrorism and against Iraq or to go it alone.

“The elder Bush – “… this most recent surprise attack (9/11 – should) erase the concept in some quarters that the United states can somehow go it alone in the fight against terrorism or in anything else, for that matter.”

“The young cheerleader Bush – “At some point we may be the only ones left. That’s okay with me. WE are America!”

“If we lengthen the statement, “We are America” to something similar to the following statement, we will get a more realistic view of the depth and breadth of the younger Bush’s mentality.”

“It‘s okay with me that we go it alone because since we are America, the Americans trust their democratically elected, Christian, Bible believing president to make the right decision on whether it should be American leaders who will make decisions regarding Iraq. So I have decided that we must award predominately American young people the privilege of shedding their precious blood in Iraq in order to forcibly and unilaterally change the map of the Middle East. Because true patriotic Americans will trust my word to them that every drop of any nationality’s blood that is shed in Iraq will mean that fewer and fewer Middle Eastern Muslims will be motivated to commit future acts of terror against the U.S., making us all safer.”

One of main false assumptions is that President George W. Bush believes what is written in the Bible. He does not! If he were he would tremble and wet his pants while reading the Hebrew Prophet Ezekiel’s/Hezekiel’s sober words to the Edomites

“Since you did not hate bloodshed, bloodshed will pursue you.”

“There are some who say that you can get the Bible to say anything you want it to say if you look long enough. That statement is a gross distortion of reality and definitely does not apply to the principle of the condemnation of bloodshed when it could have been avoided, as is presented in this verse. Also, the theme of condemning unnecessary bloodshed is a reoccurring theme throughout the Bible. For instance, a series of severe punishments descended on the family of the great King David for supposedly one mild error of judgment. But the punishment was not for his seducing and stealing another man’s wife, as most people think. Rather, the terrible punishments came on the King’s family because the great King arranged the bloody murder of supposedly one insignificant non Jewish military squad leader. In most nations at that time, killing one innocent man by a sovereign King would have been considered no big deal. But, for the ALLAH of the Prophets, it was different. Because King David chose to murder one innocent, non Jewish soldier, his people and His Kingdom suffered severely.

“Would George W. Bush be so casual about Americans dying in Iraq if his twin daughters were in an army supply regiment as Jessica Lynch had been? Would he then have taunted the Iraqis with his “Bring 'em on!”? But, because George W. Bush finds it very easy to be heroic with the bloodshed of other people’s children, he was an easy convert to the Wolfowitz and Netanyahu map and regime modification suggestions for the Middle East.

“With friends like those two, who needs enemies? Has anyone done a statistical analysis of how much terrorism has increased outside Iraq, since the Iraq invasion which had as one of its main goals, to prevent terrorism? Netanyahu’s main point was that 9/11 provided a perfect plan or perfect excuse for the U.S. to do what Israeli leaders and a few Republican idealistic theorists have for years wanted the U.S. to try to accomplish in the Middle East.

Mr. Netanyahu’s words were:

“The (9/11) attacks present a historic opportunity for the U.S. to dismantle the regimes that support terrorism including those in Syria, Iran, Iraq, Sudan and the leadership of the Palestinian Territories.”

Please notice, though 9/11 was his main excuse for dismantling, Saudi Arabia was not mentioned for dismantling, though Saudis were the ones involved in 9/11 while the nations he mentioned for dismantling due to 9/11, were not involved in 9/11. This is not to suggest that Saudi Arabia should be considered for dismantling. Rather, it is to illustrate how contrived it is for U.S. and Israeli intellectuals to exploit 9/11 and to use it for their cover for trying to remake the Middle East into their desired image.

“Also, in this comprehensive article about Israel and America’s grand design for the Middle East is this significant statement that again has nothing to do with Iraqis attacking the U.S.

“At the heart of their worldview (for controlling the Mid East) is a conviction that American power and democratic values can be a force for good-even if applied without the blessing of international institutions or local cultures.”

“Oh you Muslims who have such a love for your children, do you actually think that honestly informed American mothers and fathers would permit their precious children to give their lives in the Middle East if they realized they were risking their adult childrens’ lives in order to fulfill the vision of a few self promoting Republican ideologues? While these calm propagandists are sitting in Washington D.C. wearing neckties thinking about their latest new ideas, for modifying the Middle East their children’s precious blood will be staining the sands and streets of Baghdad, Tikrit, Mosul, Damascus, Tehran, Mogadishu, etc., etc., etc. Oh Muslims, do you really believe these parents would be willing to have their adult children jerked around like wooden, painted puppets on strings in order to meet the sick ego needs of these powerful men? This blood is being shed while these icy blooded, daring visionaries carry out their agricultural dream of planting budding Democracies in the sovereign Muslim nations of the Middle East. But, instead of using water to irrigate their new Democracy plants, they use innocent blood.

There is a Christian rallying call that “The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church.” But, should the blood of American youth be the seeds being planted so that potential democracies can hopefully blossom in the Middle East?

Oh Prophet Muhhamad, the answer to your question is obvious. It is only because Americans are being told sophisticated, deceptive lies that patriotic parents are still supporting the wind blown Bush while he treats their adult children as if they had nine precious lives instead of only one. But, for the green Bush, vision has priority over life.

Oh Muslims, listen to what the last American to talk to Saddam Hussein had to say about the Bush lie in an October conversation with the Christian Science Monitor. As the former Ambassador to Iraq and a one time supporter of the more mature Bush, he has considerable Middle East experience. This is the Ambassador Joseph Wilson, whose wife was almost murdered by a member or members the Bush Administration.

“The invasion, conquest and occupation of Iraq was neither necessary nor even desirable to achieve a disarmament objective… It was the highest risk, lowest-reward proposition.”

(But high risk was not a significant issue because it was not the ideologues’ lives who were at risk.)

“Despite this experienced man’s wisdom and the counsel of many others, the Bush ideologues lied and still continue to lie to both themselves and American mothers and fathers that a bloody invasion and a bloodier occupation was and is necessary. But to ALLAH, for a leader to discount the ominous consequences of innocent bloodshed, is a fatal mistake.”

Since you did not hate bloodshed, bloodshed will pursue you. (“The Prophet Ezekiel/ Hezekiel 35:6 when Ezekiel was speaking the word of the LORD.”

The Thanksgiving Turkey?

“The Republican ideologues hope that Americans will consider President Bush somewhat of a hero for visiting the troops in an ever dangerous Iraq. While there was some courage and sacrifice by the President involved, before we think that he is a modern day hero, it will be helpful to make a few comparisons.

Bush

Troops

Bush-He put himself at a slight risk for one hundred and fifty minutes and was constantly surrounded by heavy security.

Troops-Many of his troops will be there for as long as five hundred twenty five thousand, six hundred minutes. For every minute there, each troop’s life is in extreme jeopardy.

Bush – Some consider it a great sacrifice that the President of the U.S. was willing to postpone his Thanks Giving dinner with his family for 24 hours so he could be with the troops in Iraq.

Troops – They postpone every dinner for three hundred sixty five days and pray and plead with God every day that they will live to one day have another dinner with their loved ones. But they do not need to only guard against Iraqi bullets and explosives, but against accidents that happen when they work too many hours and against suicide which comes from hopelessness, loneliness, depression, and meaninglessness.

Bush – The President made a choice about whether to go or not to go to Iraq.

Troops – Technically, every person who signs a contract with even the military reserves has to be willing to risk their lives wherever they are told to go.  But most had no idea about risking her or his life in Iraq at the time that they joined the military.  Most were encouraged by recruiters to join for the educational benefits and training and for an opportunity to see the world.

Bush – The President and his intellectual, idealistic friends had a dream about planting Democracy in the Middle East. They were urged on in their dream/vision by Israeli officials, Pentagon executives and oil magnates. After 9/11 was perpetrated by mostly Saudis, these Washington D.C. intellectuals were able to sell the American public, the U.S. congress and the U.N. their story that unless Iraq would be occupied, it would be Iraqis, not more Saudis, who would attack the U.S. or provide weapons to others so that they could attack the U.S.

Most knowledgeable Middle East diplomats including a high percentage of American thinkers consider this supposed Iraqi threat as totally exaggerated and that it does not justify our sacrificing and spilling so much Iraqi and American, and other blood in Iraq.  They especially think the U.S. went about the invasion in an immature way that would maximize the problems and losses and would minimize the chances for success.

Troops – After American young men and women signed on the dotted line to join the military, they had absolutely no say on whether the U.S. initiated an ideological war of choice in the Middle East. But to make the most out of an extremely depressing and sometimes hopeless situation, each military person struggles to convince themselves that their leaders can be trusted and that they are personally protecting their American families by risking their lives 24 hours a day, seven days a week in order to desperately try to plant Democracy in Iraq.

Bush – He had much to gain by going to Iraq for Thanksgiving. If there is going to be any success for Bush planting Democracy in the Middle East, there had to be a strong effort to raise the morale of the American troops.  Also, if there was to be an opportunity to win the future election, Bush had to have some type of success in Iraq and he had at least a mild success by his surprise Thanks Giving visit. Was the President of the U.S. a Thanks Giving turkey or a Thanks Giving hero?  You be the judge. 

Troops – There is not much to gain but the opportunity to come home alive or not seriously injured.  Yet, despite the almost hopelessness of the situation, there are countless service persons who expend tremendous energy every day attempting to make Iraq a safer place, despite the multiple mistakes their leaders have made regarding how they initiated the war and have gone about the occupation. Are the troops heroes? As much as the negative circumstances allow them to be!  But they are exploited heroes!

Oh American parents, please wake up to what Paul Wolfowitz, George Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfield is doing with your children. Please finally realize that you have been brain-washed so that these dangerous men could try to fulfill their unrealistic visions.
