Array ( [sid] => 31055 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => OUR LEADERS ARE LIARS [time] => 2004-01-08 09:30:02 [hometext] => [bodytext] => White House 'distorted' Iraq threat

Bush administration officials 'systematically misrepresented' the threat from Iraq's weapons of mass destruction in the run-up to war, according to a new report to be published on Thursday by a respected Washington think-tank.


These distortions, combined with intelligence failures, exaggerated the risks posed by a country that presented no immediate threat to the US, Middle East or global security, the report says.

Our leaders are liars
There can be no doubt
Instructing others to lie
To scream and shout

America in danger from WMD!
Nukes, Bio and Chemo!
We must destroy!
Pass me the ammo!!!

They goaded you to war
With lie upon lie
They killed twelve thousand and more
And STILL they die

And your own kids too
Sent to a nightmare of hate
To traumatise them forever
And seal their fate

Now report on report
Is telling the truth
No Nukes, No Bio, No Chemo
Only destruction of youth

The only report
We will never receive
Is the one from our liars
As they seek to deceive

They keep repeating
“We were right! We were right!”
But with no WMD found
They are a pitiful sight

NO WMD found
NO imminent threat
Twelve thousand dead
And not one TRACE of regret [comments] => 1 [counter] => 188 [topic] => 41 [informant] => Steeleyes [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => political )
