US President George W Bush and other top officials issued almost one thousand false statements about the national security threat from Iraq following the September 11 attacks, according to a study by two not-for-profit organisations.
The Associated Press reports the study, published on the website of the Centre for Public Integrity, concluded the statements “were part of an orchestrated campaign that effectively galvanised public opinion and, in the process, led the nation to war under decidedly false pretences”.
According to the study, 935 false statements were issued by the White House in the two years after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
In speeches, briefings and interviews, President Bush and other officials stated “unequivocally” on at least 532 occasions that Iraq had links to al-Qaeda, or had weapons of mass destruction or was trying to get them.
“It is now beyond dispute that Iraq did not possess any weapons of mass destruction or have meaningful ties to al-Qaeda,” wrote the study’s authors Charles Lewis and Mark Reading-Smith.
“In short, the Bush administration led the nation to war on the basis of erroneous information that it methodically propagated and that culminated in military action against Iraq on March 19, 2003.”
What i don't understand right now is WHY are they allowing this study to come out? The Zionists have so much power in media that they would never allow this to come out. Is there a plan somewhere to discredit Bush at this time? and why?
Study: False statements preceded war By DOUGLASS K. DANIEL, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - A study by two nonprofit journalism organizations found that President Bush and top administration officials issued hundreds of false statements about the national security threat from Iraq in the two years following the 2001 terrorist attacks.

The study concluded that the statements "were part of an orchestrated campaign that effectively galvanized public opinion and, in the process, led the nation to war under decidedly false pretenses."
The study was posted Tuesday on the Web site of the Center for Public Integrity, which worked with the Fund for Independence in Journalism.
White House spokesman Scott Stanzel did not comment on the merits of the study Tuesday night but reiterated the administration's position that the world community viewed Iraq's leader, Saddam Hussein, as a threat.
"The actions taken in 2003 were based on the collective judgment of intelligence agencies around the world," Stanzel said.
The study counted 935 false statements in the two-year period. It found that in speeches, briefings, interviews and other venues, Bush and administration officials stated unequivocally on at least 532 occasions that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction or was trying to produce or obtain them or had links to al-Qaida or both.
"It is now beyond dispute that Iraq did not possess any weapons of mass destruction or have meaningful ties to al-Qaida," according to Charles Lewis and Mark Reading-Smith of the Fund for Independence in Journalism staff members, writing an overview of the study. "In short, the Bush administration led the nation to war on the basis of erroneous information that it methodically propagated and that culminated in military action against Iraq on March 19, 2003."
Named in the study along with Bush were top officials of the administration during the period studied: Vice President Dick Cheney, national security adviser Condoleezza Rice, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, Secretary of State Colin Powell, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz and White House press secretaries Ari Fleischer and Scott McClellan.
Bush led with 259 false statements, 231 about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and 28 about Iraq's links to al-Qaida, the study found. That was second only to Powell's 244 false statements about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and 10 about Iraq and al-Qaida.
The center said the study was based on a database created with public statements over the two years beginning on Sept. 11, 2001, and information from more than 25 government reports, books, articles, speeches and interviews.
"The cumulative effect of these false statements — amplified by thousands of news stories and broadcasts — was massive, with the media coverage creating an almost impenetrable din for several critical months in the run-up to war," the study concluded.
"Some journalists — indeed, even some entire news organizations — have since acknowledged that their coverage during those prewar months was far too deferential and uncritical. These mea culpas notwithstanding, much of the wall-to-wall media coverage provided additional, 'independent' validation of the Bush administration's false statements about Iraq," it said.

No, sorry, that old zionist canard has been disproven and please don't shovel it here.
The white house got their intel from cheney's "White House Iraq Group (WHIG or WHIGgers)" that purposefully cherry picked bad intel from the general intel community (one example: recall that all US intel agencies concurred with all other western nation's intel agencies that "Curveball" was a lying sackofshit..."Curveball" was the basis for most of our Iraq policy, and believe it or not, the Zionists are trying to use him as source for Iran intel), or cheney himself breathed down analysts necks at Langley to get the results he wanted, or the Iraq study group just plain made the shit up.

The charges are too serious to ignore. There is credible evidence that the Vice President abused the power of his office, and not only brought us into an unnecesary war but violated the civil liberties and privacy of American citizens. It is the constitutional duty of Congress to hold impeachment hearings.

At any given moment for the rest of our lifetimes, there will be multiple conflicts in mutating forms around the globe. The de facto role of the US armed forces will be to keep the world safe for our economy and open to our cultural assault. To those ends, we will do a fair amount of killing....we will win [...]

Re: convicted Israeli felon oversaw security at Boston Logon airport on 911 Quote
I find the fact that an Israeli company is guarding American nuclear infastructure a frightening and stupid situtation.
This means that if they choose to they can allow nuclear weapons to be moved without knowledge of our Military chain of command, most likely.
I think the nukes that were flown from North Dakota to Barksdale 'accidently' might have been related to this.
WTF is going on in this country when we have Zionists controlling security proceedure over our nuclear weapons?

"In 2005, however, a NSA declassified report[84] revealed that there was no attack on 4 August. It had already been called into question long before this. "The Gulf of Tonkin incident," writes Louise Gerdes, "is an oft-cited example of the way in which Johnson misled the American people to gain support for his foreign policy in Vietnam."[85] George C. Herring argues, however, that McNamara and the Pentagon "did not knowingly lie about the alleged attacks, but they were obviously in a mood to retaliate and they seem to have selected from the evidence available to them those parts that confirmed what they wanted to believe."
At least they waited till 2005 to tell us outright so tat we could get ourselves into another war.

Re: Bush and White House issued 935 false statements after 9/11 to get US in war
Just a quick overview of the CIA regarding Bin Laden/9/11:
1) The CIA essentially creates al-Caeda via funding and supporting the Mujahadeen in the early 1980s.
2) CIA funds and supports Osama Bin Laden as the leader of the Mujahadeen Afghan rebels.
3) Bin Laden remains a long-standing CIA asset until he allegedly turns against us just as the Cold War is over.
4) Madeline Albright twice refuses the handover of Osama during the Clinton presidency, when he's supposedly public enemy #1.
5) Bin Laden is treated at an American hospital in Dubai in July of 2001, where he meets with the local CIA chief.
6) On 9/11 George H.W. Bush, a former Director of the CIA, is in a meeting with Osama Bin Laden's brother while President Bush ignores the attacks on America.
7) There just happens to be close family ties between the Bushes and the Bin Ladens.
8) Members of Osama's family were flown out of the country without proper questioning during a time of airspace lockdown.
9) Osama Bin Laden was repeatedly allowed to escape from Tora Bora after the US invasion, according to CIA sources and Special Forces.
10) The FBI says there's no proof that Bin Laden was behind 9/11. Hence his Most Wanted page never mentions these attacks.
11) No white paper giving evidence of Bin Laden's guilt or the identites of hijackers has ever been provided to the American people.
12) The Confession video discovered by the CIA in Afghanistan is bogus according to the top US Bin Laden expert, Bruce Lawrence of Duke University. "It is not him."
13) Several alleged hijackers have been interviewed by the BBC subsequent to 9/11, proving the official list is wrong.
14) The CIA admits to destroying the tapes of its interrogations with suspected terrorists, calling into question the entire al-Caeda story.
15) The 9/11 Commission was obstructed by the CIA, who deliberately lied to the Commission and Congress.
16) The anthrax attacks in the weeks after 9/11 were ultimately linked to a source within the CIA, who was obviously trying to pin it on Arab terrorists with phrases like, "Allah Akbar" accompanying the letters. The anthrax itself was determined to be a weapons-grade anthrax emanating from Ft. Deitrick, MD. (likely).
So, the CIA created al-Cadea, sponsored the anthrax attacks, lied to the 9/11 Commission and Congress, and now admits to destroying evidence!

Peak Oil, on the other hand, is an imminent reality supported by the following, in our face evidence:
1) The Iraq occupation and its vast reserves, now outsourced to Western oil companies (BP, Shell, etc.)
2) The Afghanistan occupation and its Caspian Sea pipeline
3) Rising cost of gasoline worldwide; supply is down, demand is up, price goes UP
4) No new infrastructure for petroleum processing having been built since the 1970s
5) Draconian police state preparations including detention centers in the US, PATRIOT ACTS I and II, Military Commissions Act - for when the oil crash is no longer mutable, September 11th is going to be a pleasant memory compared to what can and will most likely happen to the American economy and its consequences to a desperate, impoverished population.
