[Vision2020] Bush Thinks You're Stupid

[Donovan Arnold]

                                                     Bush thinks You’re 
Stupid

Does Bush think you’re stupid? I think he does think you are stupid. In 
fact, he is betting this year’s election on it. And chances are he will be 
correct with about 50 million voting Americans. So why do I think Bush 
thinks you are stupid? Well, primarily because of the way he sets up his 
arguments.

Let us take, for example, the war with Iraq. This entire war was framed from 
the beginning to lead people to the undeniable conclusion that we should go 
to war with Iraq.

Here is the argument that he used:

Saddam must hand over his weapons of mass destruction or Iraqi will be 
invaded.

This is a false dilemma because Saddam didn’t have any Weapons of Mass 
Destruction (WMDs). You cannot hand over something that you do not have. 
There is nothing that Saddam, or anyone, could do to prevent the war. Bush 
knew this. He knew that Saddam did not have WMDs and brought people to 
believe that Saddam was simply hiding them and refusing to let United 
Nations weapons inspectors find them.

Therefore, the question must be asked, “How do I know that the sitting 
President did know that WMDs did not exist? Simple, because he lied about 
specific examples of WMDS.

Colin Powell, Secretary of State, lied before hundreds of cameras to the 
American people, and millions more, that particular buildings in Iraq 
contained particular weapons of mass destruction.

Among them were at the UN, but not limited to, Active Chemical Munitions 
stored at Taji, Iraq.

As well as terrorist poison and explosives in Khurmal, Iraq.

A logical response to this argument might be that this was what was really 
believed at the time. If the Bush administration really believed this, it 
would only be logical to go to the buildings and inspect them to be sure. 
The counter argument to this is that maybe we could not access these 
buildings. Nevertheless, we could. Our own photos show UN vehicles just 
yards away from the compounds.

Why didn't the US just kick down the doors of these supposed factories of 
WMD’s and say, “uh ha, caught ya!”? There are only two possible answers, 
neither that bold well for the current Administration. The first reason 
could be that the Administration is so incompetent that the idea never 
crossed their minds, this seems unlikely. The second reason being that they 
knew there really were no weapons of mass destruction in those buildings. 
Kicking the doors down would have proved that they were wrong, and Bush 
would not have gotten public support to invade Iraq.

The sitting President also stated to Congress during his 2003 State of the 
Union that there was specific evidence of Saddam trying to gather materials 
to build WMDs in Iraq.

This statement was also proven to be not true.

Bush continues to state that you are stupid shortly after we figure out that 
WMDs really don’t exist by stating that Saddam has the ability to make WMDs.

http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/iraq/2004-03-02-un-wmd_x.htm

Now, recent news indicates that in fact, Saddam did not have WMDs since 
1992, and that his ability to create WMDs is less now than it is was then 
because of the US and UN embargoes.

http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/iraq/2004-10-06-wmd_x.htm

Despite all this evidence, the President still thinks you are stupid. White 
House spokesperson Scott McClellan affirmed their belief that you are indeed 
stupid by saying, "Saddam was a threat we needed to take seriously," (and 
he) "retained the intent and capability to produce weapons of mass 
destruction."

Not only is this statement false, it is also stating that US should invade 
any country that “aspires”, in Bush’s words, to make WMDs and doesn’t like 
the US, indeed a long list of countries we would be justified in invading 
under this definition.

The only conclusion that can be drawn from this behavior is that Bush thinks 
you’re STUPID.
