Today, I’ve decided to write on whatever Yahoo! had as their main new features. Not expecting anything actually news-worthy, I instead found a short article that states that Bush and officials made 935 false statements on Iraq. Did we not know this already or is it news-worthy because now we know it was 935 times? What is interesting about the number is that it is not 935 different lies it is just how many times we as a country were lied to. The basic lies which have been revealed were: 1) Iraq did not have weapons of mass destructions and 2) Iraq did not have a link to al-Qaida. Is something a lie if as it is said we know that it is not the truth? I’m not sure how Iraq even got equated with the United States and war. The government, if they did lie, knew that there were no weapons of mass destruction and no link to al-Qaida. Then why did they go into Iraq and start a war? Democracy? Well, was that the initial reason? Even if it is the reason now, why Iraq? Why not some other country?
