     World's Worst Terrorist (see the video embedded in this article):   
      
     Sister of a British soldier killed in the Iraq War said she wanted   
     the world to know:   
      
       "I know there's one terrorist in this world the world needs to be   
        aware of.  His name is Tony Blair.  The world's worst terrorist."   
      
   And while this British woman's suffering was heart-rending, it barely   
   begins the counting of all the suffering of the Iraqi people who have   
   lost their loved ones because of the Bush-Blair aggression against   
   Iraq and their decision to purge the Ba'athists.  Imagine that those   
   who have lost one or more loved ones are beginning to sue Bush and   
   Blair in court for their wrenching losses.   
      
   While the British people are asking a lot of questions about Iraq War,   
   the American people are still being herded along with the Bush line   
   that we should trust him and his successors to take their quixotic "War   
   on Terror" to "them" while we sheeple "safely" go shopping, whether   
   it's actually safer than before or not.   
      
   It's clear that Bush lied about what was happening in Iraq in order   
   for him to obtain the fig leaf he needed to start the shooting spree.   
      
   And it's equally clear that Bush was lying and at the same time trying   
   to convince the world that he was not.   
      
   Recently I posted a message about Bush's attempted song and dance   
   telling us to "imagine a world in which Saddam were still around".   
      
   As he repeated for the umpteenth time the unfounded connection between   
   the 9/11 attacks and Saddam that he and his administration concocted,   
   a reporter asked him what the WTC attacks had to do with Saddam.   
      
     "What did Iraq do to what?" Bush asked.   
      
     "Attack on the World Trade Center..." (Reporter's words)   
      
     "Nothing!  Except for - it's part of - and nobody has ever suggested   
     in this administration that Saddam Hussein had ordered the attacks..."   
      
   Bush's fairytale time was rudely interrupted.  What was the fairytale?   
      
     Bush:   
     "imagine a world in which Saddam Hussein was there and stirred   
     up even more trouble in a part of the world that ah... that has so   
     much resentment..." (strongly jerking his head to emphasize the "so   
     much") "... so much hatred, that people come here and killed three   
     thousand of our citizens."   
      
     "... part of the reason why we went into Iraq, ah, was ah, the main   
     reason we went in Iraq at the time was we thought he had weapons of   
     mass destruction at the time. ... He didn't, but he had the capacity   
     to make weapons of mass ..."  (trailing/unintelligible slurred words   
     that quickly segued to the next sentence). "I also talked about the   
     human suffering of Iraq.  And I also talked about the need to   
     advance the freedom agenda.  So, my question is... my answer to your   
     question is that imagine a world in which Saddam Hussein was there   
     and stirred up even more trouble in a part of the world that ah...   
     that has so much resentment..." (strongly jerking his head to   
     emphasize the "so much"), "... so much hatred, that people came here and   
     killed three thousand of our citizens."   
      
     "You know, I heard this theory, you know, that everything was just   
     fine until we arrived... you know, that kind of   
     stir-up-the-hornet's-nest theory."   
      
     "This is, this... just doesn't hold water... as far as I am   
     concerned."   
      
     "The terrorists attacked us and killed three thousand of our   
     citizens before we started the freedom agenda in the Middle East.   
     They were..."   
      
   And that's when Bush's fairytale was interrupted.  The next three   
   lines tells us vividly why there are so many truthers out there   
   questioning Bush's Iraq War:   
      
     "What did Iraq do to what?"   
      
     "Attack on the World Trade Center..." (Reporter's words)   
      
     "Nothing!  Except for - it's part of - and nobody has ever suggested   
     in this administration that Saddam Hussein had ordered the attacks..."   
      
   But the MSM has been carefully covering up for Bush - until this   
   campaign season.   
      
   Now Trump is doing the American people a great service by courageously   
   bringing up repeatedly what a mess Bush has left the world in.  Bush   
   pretended that he didn't stick his hand in a hornet's nest - but   
   everyone else except the sycophants have noticed the dishonest act.   
      
   When someone in the press corp asked him what his fairytale had to do   
   with attacking Iraq, Bush literally screamed, saying that "no one in   
   his administration has" accused Saddam of ordering the WTC attack.   
      
   Yet that was exactly the subject of Bush's fairytale about Iraq:   
      
     They killed thousands of us in one day.   
      
     They harboured so much hatred and resentment.   
      
     There is so much suffering in Iraq.   
      
      ...   
      
   On and on.   
      
   Bush's hand was seen in the cookie jar right there.  But he thought   
   that he wasn't lying if "no one from his adminstration" ever called   
   that jar a "cookie jar", yeah, that's right! ...:)   
      
   Naturally, the NYT and other MSM have decided that Bush is still worth   
   protecting.  So their current response to the Trump campaign is that   
   he has "praised" Saddam and has done it again - that's just a no-no!   
      
   So, while the Britons are beginning to wake up, we the Americans are   
   still slumbering deeply.   
      
   And so, while the Britons want to see Blair in court, the Washington   
   powers-that-be are making sure that Hillary Clinton will be Bush's   
   reliable successor.  Hillary has made it known that she will be the   
   warlike neocons' water girl - saying that she will fight Syria's Assad   
   and Russia's Putin at the same time, should she be the next occupant   
   of the White House.   
      
   It's true that she claims that she now regrets her US Senate "yes"   
   vote for the Iraq War.  But her regret no doubt is just a gesture   
   intended only to fool her Democratic constituency.   
      
   In fact, why did she have to announce her hostility toward Putin now   
   since she will presumably have a ton of advisors to help her make a   
   decision later when she becomes president - Democratic voters aren't   
   so keen to fight Putin, are they?   
      
   I suspect that Hillary thinks it more important to reassure the   
   neocons that she will be their girl.  And it has been working too -   
   Republicans in Washington as well as the MSM have been super nice to   
   her as they pummel Trump everyday for every statement he makes.   
      
   But Hillary's regret is clearly a deception.   
      
   If she were truly contrite, she would "sin no more", as Jesus has   
   taught those who came to him for advice.   
      
   Hillary's hawish/militaristic approach to Russia and Syria means only   
   one thing: her regret has taught her nothing from the evil Iraq War   
   she helped made possible.
