Indeed, our Congress critters take us for morones. Obviously, we will believe anything these people tell us, as is evident by the fact most Americans bought the ludicrous Iraq invasion pretext hook, line, and sinker, hardly any questions asked. Now, in the wake of Bush’s speech, once again linking Iraq to the “war on terrorism” fantasy story, we are told by people supposedly in the know that Saddam was behind nine eleven, even though this has been repeatedly debunked as neocon nonsense. “Saddam Hussein and people like him were very much involved in 9/11,” Republican Robin Hayes tells CNN. “Told no investigation had ever found evidence to link Saddam and 9/11, Hayes responded, ‘I’m sorry, but you must have looked in the wrong places.’ … Hayes, the vice chairman of the House subcommittee on terrorism, said legislators have access to evidence others do not.” Somewhere in Washington, buried under a rock (in the front yard of the Office of Special Plans), is a passel of damning info on Saddam, or so it would seem, if we are to believe Hayes. In response to criticism that not even Bush’s nine eleven whitewash commission was able to connect the dots between Saddam and nine eleven, the North Carolina representative blustered, “Nobody disputes 9/11. They would do it again if not prevented.” Well, of course, some of us dispute nine eleven—or the official campfire story of medieval Muslim cave dwellers pulling it off, anyway—but how do you respond to Congress critters, desperate to link the occupation of Iraq to Osama and crew, who claim we’re looking “in the wrong places,” as if the whole thing is some Easter egg hunt? You don’t. All you need to know is these guys will say anything now that support for the criminal invasion and occupation is slipping out of reach. Like pathological liars, their increasingly absurd lies exposed, the Bushcons tell even more lies, a phenomenon that has but one response: fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice… won’t get fooled again.
