As the Senate commenced its debate on Iraq today, the White House has now escalated its pro-war propaganda to the level of extortion. According to the AP, the new National Intelligence Report "lays out a range of dangers - from al-Qaida to Lebanese Hezbollah to non-Muslim radical groups - that pose a "persistent and evolving threat" to the country over the next three years." In what is an obvious attempt to scare Congress into submission, the Bush Administration has reached a new low in their betrayal of the American people.

Ironically, the Report also suggests that this Administration’s foreign policies, including the Iraq War, have only served to ignite more hatred for the U.S. among the World’s Muslim population.
"The high-level estimate notes that the spread of radical ideas, especially on the Internet, growing anti-U.S. rhetoric and increasing numbers of radical cells throughout Western countries indicate the violent segments of the Muslim populations is expanding."
Isn’t it hypocritical that this Administration would attempt to extort compliance from Congress and the American people through threats of increased homeland terror while still refusing to secure our borders? Not only has this Administration put our Country on every terrorist organization's chart, it has laid out the welcome mat.
And doesn't it bother anyone that this Administration's hypocritical foreign policy condones civil-rights violations in China, Saudia Arabia, Korea, the Soviet Union, Africa, and the U.S. but would invest $1 Trillion to halt civil rights violations in Iraq and install a government which still tolerates stoning women to death for allowing themselves to be raped?
This Administration is not about fighting terrorism, eliminating WMD's, installing democracy in Iraq, or defending the American people. This Administration is about one thing and one thing only, greed. This Administration has perpetuated and proliferated the corporate war-machine-for-profit and the interests of it's wealthy friends, period. And do any of you think it is a coincidence that Cheney’s Halliburton relocated their top executives to Dubai shortly after it was learned that they had bilked American taxpayers out of $2 Billion?
The Bush Administration’s manipulation of unintelligence information for it’s own selfish purpose, now to the level of extortion, represents a continuing impeachable offense that has already gone beyond even their control. The growing hatred among the Muslim population of the World is real and is the result of our unrealistic, immoral, and insidious foreign policies. Our refusal, not just Congress’s, to confront this Administration until now has resulted in a global instability that we and the World may not ever recover from.
