During his address to the American public on the invasion of Iraq, President Bush felt the need to ram the ‘coalition forces’ right down our throats, almost making it appear like he wasn’t the pushing the big red button for invasion, and in fact it was completely a group decision. Despite his best efforts of mentioning ‘the groups’ efforts 17 times in 4 minutes, he fooled no one.
Bush was acting like a problem child, frantically trying to pass on the blame for his boneheaded decision that will ultimately prove to be the biggest mistake of his error-ridden career. Bush wants us all to imagine a ‘coalition force’ on a ‘good-doing’ crusade into Iraq, led by him riding a white horse, removing the devilish Hussein from his tyrannical reign as leader. However, anyone with two brain cells to rub together can see behind this act and realise that this is a personal revenge mission on terrorism that could cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians as well as, potentially, billions of dollars.
Bush is going against the will of most Americans, but he’d have us believe that Hussein is the only tyrant in the picture. He’d also have us believe that he is the new Son of God in the way that he presents the saint-like USA during his speech. Clearly he has overlooked the fact that his ‘liberation’ campaign will actually end up slaughtering even more civilians than Saddam himself. He even has the cheek to say he has great ‘respect’ for Iraqi people and of course he shows his respect by bombarding them with bombs and troops. Good job George.
‘We enter this conflict reluctantly’ he says, as the USA go with guns blazing into one of the largest invasions of a single country in history, with more than 35 countries providing troops and artillery. If you believed every word
