American public invites the Bush Administration Scam on Iraq.

Try to imagine living life being able to spend as much money as you want on anything you want. Imagine that you have no one to answer to for spending money that you don't have. How would you feel if you could tell the most obvious blatant lie and that no one cared that you were lying. Imagine being able to steal from your realitives and everyone keeps your shameful family secret. Imagine being a member of the Bush Administration.

Wow, does that sound harsh? I think it does. It is also true though. In case you did not realize it we are talking about the Iraq war. I know, I know: Congress never declared a war, so there actually isn't a war. True, but since the administration is living in a make believe fairytale world, and the American public decided to join them, lets go with this for now. Okay?

Congress, acting on a request from the Bush administration asked for specific money to fund the "war effort" in Iraq and Afghanistan, passed a budget. They have done this for the past several years. Part way through each year they pass an emergency funding budget to supplement the bill for Iraq and Afghanistan. Fine, got that. Each year they raid the budget of the rest of the military to get additional funds for the war effort.

The US military is taking funds from its regular units to supplement the "Wart on Terror." This is the money for maintenance. This is the money for training. This is the money for books for the libraries and electricity for the buildings. This is not the money that Congress set aside for the war in Iraq.

So you tell me, why do we as a whole allow the lie to continue? Why do we allow these stellar individuals to continue to live in a make believe land of their own making? Why do we join them by pulling the blankets over our heads so that we won't see the monsters coming out of the closet?
