Questions and Answers are cited below as
"Q" and "A"
1. Q: Who is the apparent winner?
A: George W. Bush for a second term as President of the United States.
2. Q: Who is likely to be credited with that "win"?
A: Mr. Bush and his "Bush Dynasty," the Republican Party, and their principal advisor, Karl Rove.
3. Q: Is there any so-called history presently assumed by the American electorate to have been indispensable with the intention of placing Bush in office?
A: Yes.
4. Q: What was it?
A: The assumption that President Bush was defending the United States in an ongoing war it had not yet won, - but was expected to win, - as indispensable to a successful defense of the ongoing U.S. war in Iraq.
5. Q: Who did the U.S. tell the electorate was waging a war out of Iraq against the United States?
A: Saddam Hussein, the dictator of Iraq.
6. Q: Was the American public led to believe that Saddam Hussein was part of the conspiracy of attackers on 9/11?
A: Yes.
7. Q: But, was Saddam Hussein the attacker, or conspiring with them?
A: Not at all.
8. Q: Could Hussein and his Iraq have been among the attackers of September 11?
A: No.
9. Q: How come?
A: Saddam Hussein had nothing whatever to do with the hijacking on September 11, 2001 of the planes flying into the World Trade Center Twin Towers in New York and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C.
10. Q: Who was that attacker?
A: The sixty-based (Al Quaeda) bin Laden forces, led by bin Laden, - with which Saddam Hussein of Iraq had no part whatever.
11. Q: How do we know that?
A: During the 1980's, Saddam Hussein and his Iraq precipitated and fought a bloody war to prevent eventual domination over him by the Islamic religious fanatics of Iran. That war ended inconclusively.
12. Q: What is the significance of that?
A: Especially, in consequence of that war between the essentially secular Iraq dictatorship and Islamist religious fanatics of Iran, - the bin Laden Islamists responsible for the 9/11 attack on the United States, did not, and do not conspire with the secular-led forces of Saddam Hussein and his Iraq.
13. Q: And what was the United States posture during that 1980's conflict?
A: In retribution against Islamist Iran for its seizure of the U.S. Embassy and other personnel at Teheran of Iran, - the U.S. not only sided with Saddam Hussein and his secular-led Iraq, - but the United States also furnished him with invaluable intelligence, war weapons, economic assistance, etc.
14. Q: Do you mean to say that history is likely to reveal that United States started this war against Saddam Hussein and his Iraq, - without Saddam Hussein's having been party to any attack on the United States by the bin Laden forces?
A: Yes. The United States and especially the Bush Dynasty with its former Baghdad virtual ally in the Baghdad war against Iran, - was not and is not, attacked by Saddam Hussein.
15. Q: What has all this to do with America's election victory of President Bush on November 2, 2004?
A: History is likely to reveal that the Bush Dynasty's presidential "win" for another 4-year term, was gained by that Dynasty's creating the American electorate impression that it owed a patriotic duty to support the U.S. Armed Forces in defending America in the Iraq War, - in fact fabricated by the United States.
16. Q: Wasn't and Isn't Saddam Hussein of Iraq a monster deserving extinction by the U.S. Armed Forces?
A: He is a monster, as proved by what he did to his own people. We deal with many such dictatorial monsters and don't wage war on such nations unless they attack the United States, - which did not happen with Iraq (Saddam Hussein).
