Bernie Sanders Tries Rewriting History Before Its Recorded

Bernie Sanders (I Vt), anti-war Senator and Progressive Liberal Socialist, masquerading as an Independent, sets a new low standard, even for the anti-war Bush bashing nincompoops.

It seems that Sanders is offended by the Smithsonian Institute displaying a portrait of President George W. Bush along with the caption stating his two terms were

“…marked by a series of catastrophic events” including “the attacks on September 11, 2001, that led to wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.”

Sanders has sent a letter to the Smithsonian partly saying,

“The 9/11 attacks did not lead to the war in Iraq. What President Bush was telling us (before the war) was that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and that Iraq was somehow in collusion with Al Qaeda. Those were misstatements of fact, as even President Bush has since acknowledged. [...] You can agree or disagree with the war. I simply think it’s important that history not be rewritten. Politicians spin all the time, but a wonderful national institution like the National Portrait Gallery should stick to the facts.”

In this, Sanders gives me cause to believe the “I” after his name does not stand for “Independent,” but “Idiot.”

Hard as they have tried, the anti-war Socialist neo-coms have failed to prove that Bush lied about Iraq or his reasons for the war. The WMD claim was but one reason given and carried forward from an earlier administration.

First, President Bush never claimed that Iraq was involved with 9/11, although he and others did ask to ascertain if they might have been. Given Saddam Hussein’s antagonism towards America since the First Gulf War, I think that would have been natural even for a Democrat president, given the depth of the September 11, 2001 attacks and dereliction of their duties to not even look at the possibility.

Secondly, going into Iraq was partly due to 9/11 in that the assumption of the presence of WMD’s was prevalent throughout the world’s intelligence community, even left over from the Clinton Administration.

In 1999, claims of cooperation between Al Qaeda and Saddam were being made by Democrats in power and even broadcast on a 1999 ABC News Report Video, as well as acknowledged by a 1998 State Department announcement of an indictment handed down on bin Laden.

What was Bush supposed to think given the evidence left over for him from the previous administration? And still, he never said that Saddam was involved in 9/11.

But, 9/11 did change how Iraq was to be viewed and handled, which makes the Smithsonian’s caption true. To assume Saddam possessed what nearly every intelligence agency in the world thought and past claims, that were never refuted, of ties between Iraq and Al Qaeda, Bush would have been derelict to not take some sort of action to prevent the possibility of their falling into the wrong hands.

Through the wonders of modern technology, video and audio has been saved of the claims inherited by the Bush administration.

The “Bush Lied” mantra that Bernie repeats falls flat once we look back and see what Democrats had to say before Bush was even known to be considering a run for President, Democrats on Iraq.

Further showing Bernie Sanders (Idiot, Vt) for the Bush hatriot he really is comes out of Canada by a student there with no ties to either American party nor with an ax to grind either way, What was it all about after all? The causes of the Iraq war.

Still left unanswered is, what happened to all the WMD’s everyone said was there, during Bush’s six month long rush to war? Media Ignore Saddam's WMD Intent.

Yet more reason to invade Saddam, who was given every conceivable chance to step down, and depose him is found in Witness To Genocide.

Also ignored by this new hatriotic class of professional Bush and Republican haters is the final results of the commission they demanded as well as their very own media reports from the complicit left-winged media prior to Bush’s election.

Even without the WMD claim, several reasons remain indicating it was the proper action to take.

What reason could be left for Bernie Sanders (idiot Vt) to send such an outlandish demand to the Smithsonian Institute other than his own personal hatred of Bush and to further the left’s destruction of the Republican Party in general?

The Smithsonian has yet to reply to Sanders and when they do, they should politely inform the idiot Senator from Vermont to kindly take his demand and shove it up his ass where it belongs!

UPDATE: Hatriotic Bush bashers are rejoicing as the Smithsonian has agreed to delete the word "led to" from their caption. Neo-coms get their way again in opposing a good man.
