A Google News Search using the term “White House Iraq Group” returns
ten results. An article mentioning the “WHIG” was supposedly published
in the New York Times, but when I follow a link I get a come-on to subscribe
to something called TimeSelect (a pay service). “The White House
set up, without announcement, a group to market a war in Iraq in August 2002,
seven months before the March 2003 invasion, according to an article published
by the New York Times on Sunday,” reports Xinhua
News Agency (it’s indicative when you have to rely on China
to break news). “Very little has been written about the White House Iraq
Group, or WHIG, and only one newspaper article or two have mentioned it in passing
reporting that it had been set up by Andrew Card, the White House chief of staff,
said the article in the newspaper’s opinion page.”
Of course, we knew all along the White House attempted to sell the Iraq invasion
and occupation. Recall Card’s lame statement on September 6, 2002: “From
a marketing point of view, you don’t introduce new products in August”
and the “mushroom cloud” ruse, the latter apparently the brainchild
of Card and Bush’s gnome, Karl Rove. Apparently the WHIG was responsible
for Cheney’s scary Saddam stories, Condi’s smoking nuke gun campfire
story, and Bush’s “I don’t know what more evidence you need”
statement about Saddam’s illusory nuclear capability—every last
word a lie. In other words, the WHIG, now making news because Karl Rove is apparently
in deep over his outing of Valerie Plame, is news for the moment. It will go
the way of the dodo bird and the Office of Special Plans.
Let’s face it. Americans really don’t care about WHIG and they
don’t care their president lied to them and launched an illegal and immoral
invasion and occupation of a sovereign nation that did not pose a threat to
them. If Nixon had not resigned, he would have been impeached for high crimes
and misdemeanors. Clinton was impeached and censured for lying about his adolescent
dalliance. Bush invades two countries based on lies and supposition and he is
re-elected to a second term. Obviously, we are now at a point where the government
is completely non-responsive to the people—and the people are so brainwashed
and distracted as to not fill the streets and demand the government resign and
Bush face criminal prosecution for war crimes.
