Just because we are clumsy and shot ourselves in the foot instead and didn't gain a cent does not mean we didn't fire the gun with the nefarious intent to murder someone else for our own profit.

All kinds of claims from liberals who for some reason, abandon their critical thinking on this particular issue. But not a peep from the Kerry or Obama campaigns or the Democratic National Party - because they know the claim is nonsense. They would be all over it like stink on shit if there was anything to it.
The problem with this example is that Kerry and Obama would not benefit from bringing this out. They are employed / controlled by the same powers that told Bush what to do. In other words they are on the same side.
Unfortunately majority of the electorate is still too steeped in the foolish exceptionalism bullshit and the infamous "my country right or wrong" tradition to continence leaders who would forthrightly admit that as a nation we behaved both reprehensibly and foolishly at the same time.
