A 'Pretext' War in Lebanon

The American people have been sold the notion that Israel's bombardment of Lebanon was justified by an unprovoked "kidnapping" of two Israeli soldiers on July 12. The reality now appears to be quite different: that U.S. President George W. Bush and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert signed off on the war almost two months earlier and then sought a pretext.

For the full story on how Bush is again trying to pull the wool over the world's eyes, go to Consortiumnews.com and read Robert Parry's article.

Another idiotic war, complements of BushCo. 1000 or so dead bodies later, and what's been accomplished: zilch. (Oh yeah, Muslims hate us even more, there's that.)

We can only hope that November brings a Democratic majority to the US congress -- then maybe these bastards will be investigated, impeached and maybe even charged with war crimes. See you at the Hague, Georgie.

Super nice blog by the way, annamarie!
