The Iraq invasion was *NEVER* about liberation, and I'm getting sick of revisionist history that spews the B*sh party line to try to make it go down in history as such.

Even Michael Moore is calling it a war of liberation in his latest letter, for Gawd's sake. And the BBC's doing the same thing.

Now, I know I'm getting old and my memory's not what it used to be, but I distinctly remember Bush, Cheney, Blair, et al, hard-selling the invasion by telling Congress, Parliament, and the American & British people that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction, posed an immediate threat to us, and had ties to al-Qaeda.

Those were lies.

The Iraq war was based on lies, and it had absolutely fuck-all to do with "liberating" the Iraqi people.

We must never, EVER forget this, and we must stop allowing anyone to spin it in any other way.
