IWR Photo Bush Cartoon – Group Think

"It seems that we were all hoodwinked by the barrels of horse manure about WMD that was cranked out by this Administration.

‘How could this happen?’, you might ask?

It’s easy, most senators were afraid they would lose their stinking jobs if they stood on principle in front of Bush’s fear mongering buzz saw during the 2002 election.

Nobody had the guts to stand up and just say the simple truth: ‘Do you SOBs really think that I’m that stupid?’.

Let’s face facts. 

Politicians are not elected to have backbones. 

They are elected to serve as the legislative bus boys for the mega-corporations that control this country, and those oligarchs don’t want any disruption to their oil supply. 

Do you think we would have went to war if all Bush came up with is: ‘He tried to kill my dad.’?  Nobody gives freaking Freddie about Poppy or those poor suckers in Iraq.

So perhaps now you can understand how easy it was for the Congress and CIA to get browbeaten into believing anything that George Bush and Dick Cheney told us. 

That’s why we call it ‘Group Think’. 

All have to do is stick your finger up in the air and see which way the wind is blowing," said Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., the committee’s chairman.
