Why Bush wants war

[jaccyn30_us]

I have been following this war very closely and also understanding what the lead up was. The reasons for the war are very different than what most Americans believe it is. Its not really about fighting terrorism and I dont even seriously think its about oil. The real reason is actually very selfish. Bush knows that the 2004 elections are around the corner. What does he have to brag about? 9/11, deflated economy and huge state budget deficits. He knows that there is no way he can get re-elected. So his modus operandi is this...get into this war and hope that it is short. And mark my words...the only thing he will be using as propoganda will be this war. He is using it as a launchpad for his next election. The plan no doubt is brilliantly schemed by this man who claims to be working according to divine guidance.

His plan and thoughts before the war -
1) Get this war going and get it over with quick. Will look good and so most Americans feel driven to vote for him.
2) Get the oil which will start to boost the economy.
3) Any Democrat who opposes the war can be automatically be branded as anti-american. Bush will use that too in the next elections. He will call democrats as traitors when he is the biggest traitor of them all.

First reasons why I know that Bush is pursuing a personal agenda.
1) He did not allow any extension to diplomacy and wanted the war to happen at all costs. So he gave no room and presented some impossible deadlines.
2) After billions was spent to get the troops there he didn't want to look stupid by having a diplomatic solution.
3) There are no proven links between Al-Qaeda and Iraq. The president cunningly links 9/11 and Iraq in order to generate passion and fuel the American support for the war.
4) Bush claims to be a devout Christian, but any real Christian knows that this is not what Christianity or the Bible preaches.

But there are reasons why this is actually going to backfire.
1) The war will not be short-lived and this is already proving to be true.
2) There are Americans back home that are supporting the troops BUT NOT supporting Bush.
3) Bush was not expecting huge anti-war protests in his own country.
4) The cost on the economy will be huge since all is getting drained into the war.
5) Muslims even in the US are starting to oppose the war.
6) At the Oscars there was some huge protests against the war
7) United and North West Airlines have blamed the war for a major drop in travel.
8) People are getting laid off from work as the economy is getting tougher and not better
9) The initial euphoria of the war crazily led the stock markets for a few days. Now reality is beginning to kick in and the stocks are sagging.
10) The US actually has now broadened the possiblity of more terrorist attacks since they have enraged a lot of people.
11) Dissension and divide is going to plague America between war supporters and protesters. The local anarchy will start to boil over.

Do I support Saddam? No, I do not. But I definitely do not support an unprovoked war.

I sincerely appeal to the my fellow American people to pray for their troops and also for Iraqi people. But when it comes to the 2004 elections - PLEASE DONOT VOTE BUSH BACK IN because that is all he is after. And mark my words....Bush will gloat about this when it comes to 2004. He will try and use the outcome of this war to persuade people to vote for him. He has nothing else to claim.

...reasons why you "know" that Bush is pursuing a personal agenda?

Oh puh-leeze.

Go watch the BBC video of the aftermath of the Kurds being gassed. Tell me that was all part of Bush's plan. Or torturing people with acid. Or feeding people into shredding machines. Or raping & murdering family members of political dissidents. 400,000 Iraqi children have starved to death in the past decade. Guess that was GW's fault too, eh? Maybe 9/11 was financed by the oil guys in Texas? Your tin-foil hat is askew, Jac. Your boy Gore lost 3 years ago. Get over it. Instead of posting conspiracy theories, why don't you write a letter to one of the troops you are praying so hard for.
