Yes, the truth does out, eventually. In today’s Albuquerque Journal, Charles Krauthammer – the brilliant right-wing columnist – explains why we are in Iraq:
"(The problem) is essentially a civil war within a rival civilization in which the most primitive elements are seeking to gain the upper hand. The 9/11 attacks forced us to intervene massively in this civil war, which is why we are in Iraq."
Paul Wolfowitz, in his admirable naivete, came close to telling a congressional committee this truth. Now Krauthammer has.
Just in case you thought it had anything to do with Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction. Or Iraq’s collusion with al Qaeda. No, they were bedtime stories for the citizenry once asleep, the Administration might go ahead with its pre-existing geopolitical scheme.
The press failed to protect us from our leaders' lies.
