Organisations Protesting the Iraq War
Bush admits there is no link between Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden, hence 9/11. Yet he dissembled so often most Americans were so confused they even thought they were one and the same person.
George W. Bush’s Religious Beliefs. Bush was influenced my Wesleyan and Calvinist beliefs. Bush sometimes identifies as Epsicopalian, Methodist or Baptist. He had a religious experience in 1986 at age 39 with Billy Graham that convinced him to completely stop drinking. He also belongs to two Satanic cults, the Skull & Bones Society and the Bohemian Grove. He opens all his meeting with public prayer, and quotes the Bible extensively in his public speeches. His defence philosophy is certainly not inspired by the Sermon on the Mount.
Top Ten Bush Scandals of 2003
George McGovern (presidential candidate who lost to Nixon, and a major voice against the Viet Nam War) spoke at the 2003-04-15 peace march in Missoula, Montana, USA. Unforunately the audio is no longer available. He did write an essay called The Reason Why on the Iraq war.
I am sick and tired of old men dreaming up wars for young men to die in.”
~ George McGovern (born: 1922-07-19 age: 87)

I think it is sad, the country you and I have all believed all our lives was the greatest country on earth, is now regarded as a bully, is regarded as arrogant, is regarded as careless about war.
~ George McGovern (born: 1922-07-19 age: 87)

US debt accurate to the penny.
People sometimes forget themselves and believe something George W. Bush says. Refresh your memory on his track record. He is a compulsive liar. He lies even when there is no possible benefit, just to keep his hand in. Has he ever told the plain unvarnished truth about anything more substantial than what he felt like eating for breakfast? I would like to compile a list. I have asked repeatedly for submissions and have never got a response.

Pipeline attacks

It turns out we were all wrong, probably, in my judgment, and that is most disturbing - both America and Iraq learned that when you try too hard to control the picture of reality, you risk losing your grasp of it.
~ David Kay, Bush’s lead arms inspector in Iraq
Iraq Veterans Against The War: listen to vets who saw with their own eyes what Bush is doing in Iraq.
Now lets get to killing, and pumping that oil.
~ A. Republicunt , a poster in alt.politics.bush

It is difficult to debate with folks like him in the alt.politics.bush newsgroup who view war as a sort of international-league football or paintball game. It has still not sunk in that wars primarily make kids and innocents suffer. Perhaps some photos will provide a tiny crack in the delusion.
One of the amusing things is Muslim (not terrorist) investors withdrew $700 billion in investments from the USA out of fear Bush would would seize their assets. In other words, the US panic over 9/11 and its overreaction is part of the cause of its current economic woes and the spectacular success of the Islamic economies. Since 2004 the Saudi stock market has outperformed all others.

What You Can Do

The key is to reach people who only watch TV, hypnotised by FOX/CNN propaganda. To do that you must buy Barrie Zwicker’s Vision TV documentary The Great Deception, What really happened on Sept. 11 on DVD or video tape.

Then buy Iraq Uncovered on DVD.

Then invite some friends over to watch, and give them copies of the DVD and the CD.

Then find some vets who have recently returned from Iraq. Get them on TV. Get them to address your club. Failing that invite them to you home to talk to your friends to learn first hand about what happened in Iraq.
