It's interesting to hear some people talk about facts and logic when they obviously have no command over either.

Just a brief note, to capsulize this:

Bush, the neo-cons, and those in his administration, lied to us about Iraq,

so they could make his oil and defense buddies rich,

so they could continue to get their monetary support,

so he could get votes from his base on the right, and others, (who are blinded by well meaning but misplaced loyalty, patriotism, and nationalism, and who want someone to pay for 9/11, and it doesn't matter to them who pays, and who have been misled by Bush's anti-muslim propaganda and disinformation,)

so they can stay in power,

and continue to make his oil and defense buddies, and corporate America, and the wealthiest few,

wealthier.

And further promote their religious agenda.

It's not that complicated, really!
