Big Holes In The Bush Rationale For Invasion

You've all heard of the "Bush Doctrine" -
We had to invade them before they attacked us.
Now here's the "Bush Rationale" -
The US military is fighting the terrorists in Iraq so we do not have to face them here at home.
Problem is, that's yet another Bush lie. This just in from the Bush-loving Saudi government:
...interrogations of nearly 300 Saudis captured while trying to sneak into Iraq and case studies of more than three dozen others who blew themselves up in suicide attacks show most were heeding the calls from clerics and activists to drive infidels out of Arab land...
Oh, but you can't trust them Saudis, right? Weren't they behind those 9/11 attacks? But here's the same story from those nice Israelis:
An Israeli analysis of foreign fighters compiled by a leading terrorism researcher found that despite the presence of some senior al-Qaeda operatives, "the vast majority of non-Iraqi Arabs killed in Iraq have never taken part in any terrorist activity prior to their arrival in Iraq".
In other words, most of these people were ordinary, peaceful, law-abiding citizens until Bush's USA invaded Iraq (an exercise in stupidity which is set to cost US taxpayers over $700 billion).

And that's only the non-Iraqi fighters, which by all accounts make up far less than ten percent of the so-called "insurgents"!!!

No wonder people like Moqtada al-Sadr claim the resistance to US occupation is legitimate. These people genuinely believe they are driving a foreign invader out of their country.

So what do we have here folks? A communication problem, or a massive, criminal lie?
