GEORGE BUSH SPINS WAR IN IRAQ TO MEAN FIGHT FOR FREEDOM

The Washington Post reports today (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05/29/AR2007052900304.html?hpid=topnews)that the military reported another eight deaths of U.S. soldiers in Iraq. That brings the total to 110 for the month of May.

Over the Memorial Day week-end, I heard George Bush say that Americans never fight wars unless they are attacked first. Here we have the "commander in chief" trying to conceal his role in starting an unprovoked war in Iraq. He summons up the great American myth that the United States is fighting for freedom and liberty, whereas the countries on the receiving end of the U.S. bombing and shelling are the ones who hate liberty and democracy. Americans should not put up with this myth-making AND bull from George Bush.
