The Iraq War is a catastrophe whose origins can be traced directly to the scheming of war-profiteers, chicken-hawk ideologues, and Israeli right-wing nationalists (Zionists) whose patriotism to the USA must now be questioned. Of the Zionists, among whom only a few names include high level Washington insiders like Feith, Wolfowitz and Perle, or civilian overseers of Pentagon military commanders like Rumsfeld and Libby, all of whom are PNAC members, hawks who signed documents in '98 seeking war in Iraq, a necessary step towards their stated goal of a "Pax Americana". 

Bush also brought into his administration, no doubt at the urging of Cheney and his father, advisers with direct connections to the war-profiteers otherwise known as the "Carlyle Group".  Lynne and Dick Cheney are just two of many former and current Washington insiders with massive conflict of interest financial holdings that benefit from a long and protracted conflict in the Middle-East. Chicken-hawk-militarists like Bolton and Rumsfeld are ideologues whose dream of a "Pax Americana" (see PNAC) is one that they themselves will never have to suffer a personal loss  to. Towards that end, Bush has been tearing up the Constitution in front of a public who have been deliberately terrorized by the PNAC themselves.

Bin Laden could never have dreamed in his wildest imaginings the damage that these men have done to their own country; somehow convincing the public that terrorism is a threat larger than the combined might of the nuclear forces of the Soviet and Red Armies! How can a few religious kooks, who may or may not even have a single "WMD", be so much more of a threat than nuclear annihilation faced during the Cold War years? How did the neocons blow up 9/11 into something so much more dangerous than it really is,  thus  the need to use torture and secret prisons, and to rescind the sacred right of all American citizens to habeas corpus, even as men who fought for this right during WW2 still live? These rights went untouched during the darkest hours of the Cuban Missile Crisis, yet now the neocons have used fear to push a preposterous lie on a deliberately terrorized citizenry, repeating over and over that a bunch of cave-jumping nut-jobs....men whom even the CIA long since  gave up bothering to look for....somehow demanded it.

There can be only one conclusion reached by these atrocious attacks on the Constitution and the evisceration of the Bill Of Rights ------ there is a coup in progress, by the neocons,  of the United States of America.
