Iraq was invaded because Saddam was a “mortal threat” to the United States

0

How many lies have been told to whitewash the illegal and immoral invasion of Iraq? Lies told by the likes of a Frank Gaffney.

A true chicken hawk and one of those Zionist think tank acolytes who are always 'thinking' up more lies to bamboozle Americans into fighting wars for Israel.

From the actual physical attacks of 9/11, to the economic attacks of 9/11/2008, these bloodsuckers are the ones that are the actual threat to world peace.

Iraq a 'mortal threat' to the USA?

BS.

Israel declared Iraq an 'existential' enemy and the corrupt cowards in the Israeli controlled US Congress gladly obliged their Zionist masters by issuing Bush invasion orders.

America, welcome to the holocaust, Zionist style.

How does it feel to see the WTC and your life savings go up in smoke, while huge sums of that stolen loot are deposited in Israeli banks and institutions at the same time your sons and daughters are coming home in caskets, killed fighting for Israel?

Gaffney: 4,000 Americans Had To Die In Iraq

In a new interview with ABC News, Vice President Cheney claimed that the the case for war had nothing to do with whether Saddam Hussein had WMD; America would have invaded anyway. Today on MSNBC’s Hardball, right-wing commentator Frank Gaffney defended Cheney’s remarks, saying that the “real reason” the Bush administration wanted to invade Iraq was because Saddam was a “mortal threat” to the United States.

Host Chris Matthews was appalled that Gaffney seemed to feel no guilt or remorse than 4,000 Americans died because of the right wing’s mistakes. Gaffney replied that while it was “regrettable” anyone had to die, they “did have to die”:

MATTHEWS: You guys sold the war as a nuclear threat to the United States. A nuclear weapon was going to be delivered by a nuclear delivery device. It was going to take the weapon and drop it here. You sold every trick you could to get us into this war. Now you’re back pedaling. And I do find it astounding. The Vice President of the United States is —

GAFFNEY: How do you feel, Chris?

MATTHEWS: This is how I feel. Four thousand people are dead because of how you feel. And Frank, you’re wrong about this because you don’t even seem to care your facts were wrong.

GAFFNEY: Chris, there were —

MATTHEWS: You admit your facts were wrong and it doesn’t bother you.

GAFFNEY: May I state my position rather than you stating it? May I do that? My position is that it’s regrettable that any Americans died. It is regrettable that they had to die, but I believe they did have to die.

Who is Gaffney? Besides being a Zionist butt licker, he's also mobbed up with the PNAC crowd and their ultimate false-flag, their new 'Pearl Harbor,' the 9/11 attacks.

Gaffney has also supported a long line of rightist and neoconservative advocacy groups and research institutes. He was a founding member of the Project for the New American Century, a neocon-led letterhead group formed in 1997 by William Kristol and Robert Kagan to champion a "Reaganite" foreign policy based on military strength and an interventionist overseas agenda. Gaffney is also a contributing expert for the Israel-based Ariel Center, which maintains a number of close links to rightist pro-Israel groups in the United States, and is a member of the Committee on the Present Danger (CPD), the hawkish anti-communist Cold War-era group that was revived after the 9/11 terrorist attacks to champion the war on terror. He is an adviser for the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, created after 9/11 with the purported mission of "promoting pluralism, defending democratic values, and fighting the ideologies that drive terrorism," and was an adviser to the now largely defunct Americans for Victory over Terrorism, created in 2002 by a William Bennett-led group of hardliners and neoconservatives.

Gaffney says that today's main threat to peace and security is "Islamofascism," which is a terms he says "makes clear that the war is about much more than Iraq and Afghanistan" and includes those countries—namely, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Syria, Pakistan, North Korea, China, Cuba, Venezuela, and South Africa—which provide direct or indirect support for the Islamofascists "in their death struggle with us" (Jim Lobe, "Neo-Con Superhawk Earns His Wings on Port Flap," February 26, 2006).

Two months prior to the U.S. invasion of Iraq, Gaffney predicted during an interview for "Four Corners," an investigative TV news program of Australian Broadcasting Network, "I believe that when you find, as you will I hope shortly, that the Iraqi people welcome the end of this horrible regime, even if it comes at some further expense to themselves, knowing as they do that the alternative is more of the horror that they've lived under for the past two or three decades. Ah you'll see I think an outpouring of appreciation for their liberation that will make what we saw in Afghanistan recently pale by comparison. You'll see, moreover, evidence in the files and the bunkers that become available to our military, evidence not only of Saddam's weapons of mass destruction programs and his future ambitions for their use perhaps and for aggression against his neighbors, but also, I would be willing to bet, evidence of his past complicity with acts of terror against the West, perhaps more generally but certainly against the United States which in turn I think will further vindicate the course of action that this president is courageously embarked upon" ("Interview with Frank Gaffney," Four Corners, February 20, 2003).

"Good boy, Frankie!" Now crawl over to your bank and check your overseas account, there should be a large reward for your latest treasonous activities.
