The USA is the warring arm of the world control triumverate.  The financial arm is run by the Rothschilds and the mind control arm by the Vatican/Catholic church.  The job of the USA is to wage war continuously.  To convince the sheeple of the need for war, media lies are rampant and false flags are numerous, in the USA.  In other words the USA is just doing it's part for the evil world control.  We do not live in a beautiful world, we live in a world of evil incarnate.

Though there were some bumps, leading Republican presidential candidates in the past week settled on an Iraq war narrative. But when President George W. Bush made the call, there was consensus that something had to be done about the threat posed by Iraq.

For those lawmakers who actually voted against the war, and those journalists who reported skeptically before the attack, this is misleading at best and self-serving at worst. Watching the revisionist story take hold 13 years after they opposed the invasion is reviving the frustration and marginalization they felt back then.

"I was amazed, absolutely amazed at how people were supporting going to war on the basis of things that just weren’t so," said former Sen. Kent Conrad (D-N.D.), one of a handful of members who opposed the invasion. "It was clear as it could be. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. None of the intel suggested they had anything to do with 9/11 and the whole rationale for WMD [weapons of mass destruction] was just very, very thin for anybody who read the intelligence reports." As for the 2016 candidates' comments, he said: "It is just a rewriting of history in an attempt for everybody to cover their extraordinary mistake; probably one of the most serious mistakes in the military and diplomatic history of the United States, and they were all complicit."

Presidential campaigns don't lend themselves to nuanced discussions. But the conversation over the origins of the Iraq war, to the war's initial detractors, has been particularly narrow. Asking candidates whether they would have authorized the invasion knowing what they know now tripped up former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who stumbled for days with the question. But it has revealed little about the foreign policy world views of the other candidates.

The more interesting question, war skeptics said, is what the candidates would have done during the months when the invasion was being debated -- a time when airing doubts about the intelligence or the motives of the Bush administration carried political risk.
