The Story Behind George Bush's Lies 

By  RICHARD W. BEHAN  
Long  accused of signature dishonesty, the Bush Administration now stands 
twice  indicted, by Scott McClellan’s book and by two damning reports from Jay  
Rockefeller’s Senate Select Committee on Intelligence—the “Phase II” 
documents.  These sources confirm beyond any doubt the Bush Administration, with 
propaganda  and outright lies, deliberately misled the U.S. Congress into 
authorizing  war.

That is the truth, but not the whole truth, and the backstory is no  less 
appalling. 

As much as seven months before the terrorist attacks of  September 11, 2001, 
the Administration was deeply involved in planning and  mobilizing for the 
invasion and military occupation of both Iraq and  Afghanistan. None of the 
activity was remotely related to Osama bin Laden or  counterterrorism of any stripe.

This is the fundamental truth, it is  beyond dispute, and it is fully 
documented.

The incursions into  Afghanistan and Iraq were premeditated, hegemonic wars 
of conquest and  territorial occupation, to gain the geostrategic control of 
Middle Eastern  energy resources. Bald acts of unprovoked military aggression, 
they are direct  violations of the charter of the United Nations. The wars are 
therefore  international crimes, but they were not undertaken until the horror 
of September  11, 2001 provided a spectacular smokescreen. A fraudulent 
label--the “war on  terror”—was concocted to disguise the premeditated violence, 
and it was quickly  unleashed.
