    http://argument.independent.co.uk/commentators/sto ry.jsp?story=541830 David Kelly the WMD expert working for British Intelligence was pushed to suicide/suicided because he revealed to the press that the intelligence reports were being manipulated by the British Government. http://argument.independent.co.uk/commentators/sto ry.jsp?story=489035 It all comes down to a traditional colonial war. In the 18-19th century, how many simple folk would have gone to war if they were told that it was too make their barons and leaders even richer by plundering other countries. However civilising savages and allowing them to go to heaven instead of purgatory or hell was a good cause worth fighting for. This argument would not have worked for Iraq so Cheney & Co used Bin Laden and WMD. The fact that there was little truth in their arguments was beside the point. The essential thing was to get enough Americans too believe it, and for that they have been pretty successful, even getting a majority of Senators too vote for the war. Now Cheney & Co have made billions through Halliburton and other crooked companies, even though it costs the American taxpayer a lot of money. Thousands of Iraqi civilians have died or are being killed. This makes Al Capone look like small fry.
