WAR ON IRAK

Truthout: Blood Money

George W. Bush gave a speech Wednesday night before the Godfather of
conservative Washington think tanks, the American Enterprise Institute.
In his speech, Bush quantified his coming war with Iraq as part of a
larger struggle to bring pro-western governments into power in the Middle
East. Couched in hopeful language describing peace and freedom for all, the
speech was in fact the closest articulation of the actual plan for Iraq
that has yet been heard from the administration.
