MYTH: America is safer today because of the war in Iraq.
REALITY: Iraq is accomplishing something they could not do prior to our invasion. That is kill Americans. Almost 4 thousand and there is no end in sight.

their attack on our troops.
MYTH: Iraq's people will welcome us with open arms when we invade their country.
REALITY: The Iraqi's welcomed us with four and half years of war so far and no end in sight. Over 2 million
Iraqi's have fled their country under the U.S. occupation.
MYTH: Iraqi's Oil will pay for the war and occupation.
REALITY: The war has cost the U.S. tax payers over half a trillion dollars and counting.
MYTH: Iraq had stockpiles of WMD ready to use against the U.S. or transferred to terrorist.

MYTH: Iraq has reconstituted its nuclear program.
REALITY: Iraq did no such thing and they could not produce the feared mushroom cloud.
MYTH: The War in Iraq would be a cake walk.

Can anyone remember another American President who has misled his country and people so often and over so long a period of time as Mr. Bush?
NOTE: President Clinton's administration went 7 years and 9 months without a foreign terror attack on U.S. soil. The Bush administration will never equal that record of keeping America safe.
