The Bush administration thinks that genocide is less urgent than its foreign policy agenda as it relates to its so-called on war on terror. For some time, we’ve known that the administration is willing to side with dictators and tyrants – some of whom possess WMD and nuclear weapons – to advance its foreign policy.

For President Bush to say publicly that the United States attacked Iraq because of 9/11 is not only an outright lie but it’s a disservice to the 1,700 men and women that died in combat in Iraq and thousands of other soldiers who were maimed believing they were fighting a war predicated on finding weapons of mass destruction.

In remarks during his radio address yesterday, Bush seemed to backtrack on his rationale for war by stating that the reason the US went to war in Iraq was because the US was attacked on September 11th.
