[bodytext] => Linkage for a politician is a wonderful tool It allows him to make of you and me a fool Like the linkage of Sep 11 and Iraq That Bush now wants to take back Bush yesterday: 'We've had no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved with September the 11th,' Christian Science Monitor - March 14 2003 ‘The impact of Bush linking 9/11 and Iraq’ WASHINGTON – In his prime-time press conference last week, which focused almost solely on Iraq, President Bush mentioned Sept. 11 eight times. He referred to Saddam Hussein many more times than that, often in the same breath with Sept. 11. Yes linkage for a politician is a wonderful tool Allowing him to make of you and me a fool This strong linkage of Sep 11 and Iraq Bush now wants to take back But why say this now and not back then? Well you know the ways of political men It’s what works for them that matters most The truth? In their mind it's just a ghost Political truth is what helps you win The other word for this is spin Read today what Hans Blix says The US and UK used every phrase That manipulated your fearful mind That made you mad and made you blind Is this what you expect of the political elite To twist the facts and guide your feet? To fill you full of rage and grief Then steal your conscience like a thief? To manipulate your soul for their own ends And say sorry later to make amends? Is this the kind of men you trust To lead your country as they must? Will Bush take you to a better place When the words he says are so two-faced? And after he set all your hearts on fire How does it feel to support a liar...?
