Departments Letters to the Editor/ Free Press Forum The run up to Iraq A new memo of a meeting between George Bush and Tony Blair on January 31st, 2003 clearly indicates that Bush intended to invade Iraq regardless of whether or not there was a second UN vote on the matter or failure of weapons inspectors to find any WMD's. In short, the invasion of Iraq was a fait accompli.It was a done deal, and the US was going to forge ahead with this ill-concieved and illegal war of aggression. And this with the full support of Blair, regardless of the illegalities involved. This is relevant now in that Bush is asking for another $120 BILLION to fund the war in Iraq, brining the total spent there to more than $350 Billion. Despite administration claims to the contrary, there is no end in sight. WIth social safety-net programs being cut to the point of bankrupting them...With an ongoing program of fiscally disasterous tax-cuts benefitting only the wealthiest of Americans...With ongoing borrowing from foreign banks, especially China...it seems our greatest enemy lies, not beyond our borders, but within them. And that enemy sits within the White House. Our national security is now at risk as it has never been before. All that our foreign creditors need do is refuse to buy any more US debt and the US economy will come tumbling down like the house of cards it has become under this administration. Had a foreign figure done this he would be considered a threat to our nation and hunted down. Had any other US citizen done this they would be branded a traitor and be hanged. But now that the Republicans control all three branches of government can we expect that the architects of this disaster in the Bush Administration will be held accountable? All current evidence says they will not. This Republican controlled Congress has so consistently failed in its oversight duties that there will be no accounting until they are replaced. And if they they continue to fail in theier oversight duties, then Congress may as well pack their bags and return home for they will have reduced themselves to irrelevancy. The President can do as he chooses whenever he chooses and there are none to gainsay him. The Republic will have died with nary a whimper from those whose duty it was to protect it from an increasingly imperious and imperial Presidency. |
