Bu$h Put Iraq Posturing Ahead of Real Threat

Jim Miklaszewski of NBC News revealed in a March 2, 2006 piece, generally ignored by the mass media, that President Bu$h did not go after a known terrorist in the run up to the Iraq war. The report read in part

Abu Musab Zarqawi, a Jordanian militant with ties to al-Qaida, is now blamed for more than 700 terrorist killings in Iraq. But NBC News has learned that long before the war the Bush administration had several chances to wipe out his terrorist operation and perhaps kill Zarqawi himself — but never pulled the trigger. ...

Military officials insist their case for attacking Zarqawi’s operation was airtight, but the administration feared destroying the terrorist camp in Iraq could undercut its case for war against Saddam.

The United States did attack the camp at Kirma at the beginning of the war, but it was too late — Zarqawi and many of his followers were gone. “Here’s a case where they waited, they waited too long and now we’re suffering as a result inside Iraq,” Cressey added.

And despite the Bush administration’s tough talk about hitting the terrorists before they strike, Zarqawi’s killing streak continues today.

Invading Iraq was the goal of neo-cons that controlled the Bu$hCo cabal. They were saying one thing about "can't wait" to justify their invasion and yet doing another by letting this serious threat slide. Stopping the military from doing what they knew needed doing three times and yet the have always claimed they "listen the commanders on the ground". Heck of a job Bu$hie! Worst administration ever! Peace ... or War!
