935 false statements for the whole world to see

In a two year period following the events of 9/11 leading up to the invasion of Iraq, the Bush administration knowingly issued 935 false statements intentionally meant to mislead the public into supporting the war in Iraq, a recent study by the Center for Public Integrity concluded. The study was a joint non-profit venture with The Fund for Independence in Journalism, which tangibly offers us proof of this greatest deception.

The study reported that on at least 532 occasions, high ranking members of the Bush administration including president Bush, vice president Dick Cheney, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, Secretary of State Colin Powell and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld factually claimed to have unequivocal proof of the existence of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction and/or a link between Al-Qaeda and Iraq. Both claims have since been debunked, but it was these very falsely stated claims which galvanized public support for our current invasion.

These elite politicians lied to us and have murdered millions in the process. They have mismanaged this country and abused their positions of power. And they have not been held accountable for any of this, nor will they so long as they remain wealthy and well connected in this current elitist led system. In this greatest American crime, if the system won't reform the problem, we must reform the system.

Revolutions happen when too few alienate too many, and we are on the verge of this among the global community, where we have created great instability. And now it is out in the open, for the whole World to see, that we lied and misled them all into such for profit carnage. We are not merely as invincible as too many think, never experiencing war on our soil. It is imperative that we account for these crimes to the global community, and begin by spending our resources rebuilding what we have destroyed. It all begins by holding these criminals accountable, condemning them to the greatest of sentences for the war crimes they're guilty of. I would much rather see this crime handled internally rather than the alternative. They're guilty. It's all there. Speak out. The rest of the world is.
