Wanted Dead or Alive: Osama Hussein or Saddam Bin Laden
By Mike Schelstrate  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
March 13, 2003

The recent scripted press conference hosted by President Bush included a
very interesting question by a reporter; “If you order war, can any
military operation be considered a success if the United States does not
capture Saddam Hussein, as you once said, ‘dead or alive'?” This is a very
interesting question.

To my knowledge, the current President Bush has never said he wanted
Saddam Hussein ‘dead or alive’, at least not that has been widely
distributed in the mainstream media. The party line has been restricted to
the stated policies of Weapons of Mass Destruction Disarmament and Regime
Change.

Bush has famously declared he wants Osama Bin Laden ‘dead or alive’. In
fact, this is one of his more popular quotes, replayed repeatedly in the
media for months following the September 11 terrorist attack. I clearly
remember Cowboy Bush leaning back in his chair in the Oval Office, and
declaring in a gruff voice something similar to, “I remember a poster from
the old west; “Wanted Dead or Alive.” This is my intention for Mister
Osama Bin Laden.” People all over the world saw this video clip, and is
one of the reasons the Cowboy nickname was attached to our fearless leader
by the Europeans. Could the reporters question have possibly been an
innocent mistake? Not likely in a scripted press conference where all
questions are approved beforehand by Ari Fleischer and his staff.

This press conference is a great example of professional lies and
disinformation propagated by the media in conjunction with the current
administration in Washington. If the Iraqi regime are not connected to the
terrorist attacks, we have no reason to invade Iraq at this time. The
entire Bush Administration has been working furiously during the last year
in an attempt to link Osama Bin Laden with Saddam Hussein in order to
legitimize the previously planned attack on Iraq. Thus far, they have
failed to find a single shred of credible evidence to support this claim.
Every time they produce another flimsy counterfeit link, it is exposed
immediately as being false. Establishing this link is imperative to sway
public opinion in favor of the war. Obviously, they are growing
sufficiently desperate in their pursuit to resort to Orwellian doublespeak
in an attempt to get their message across.

My greatest concern regarding this incident is that this scripted attempt
at impressing a falsehood on a trusting public goes beyond propaganda.
This is a sublime form of mind control. Implant a blatantly false
suggestion in the minds of the listeners, followed by an enforcement of
the suggestion with supporting comments. Repeat as necessary. Eventually
the listeners will be convinced that the greatest absurdity is in fact
truth. Two plus two equals five, or whatever the government wants it to
equal.

Bush’s hundred year War on Terrorism is a war against a faceless enemy.
This makes it difficult to retain the public support necessary to continue
the war effort. Immediately following the attacks on the World Trade
Center and the Pentagon, the press vilified Osama Bin Laden as the
mastermind. Putting a face on the enemy provides people with a focal
point; now the American public had a despicable individual to hate. This
worked well for our invasion of Afghanistan, President Bush’s approval
rating remained over 70% for many months during this aggressive action.
The daily papers were filled with ominous pictures of the villain, and
breathtaking accounts of how we almost caught him on numerous occasions.
After the takeover of Afghanistan was complete, the hunt for Osama Bin
Laden faded into the background. The Bush Administration focused their
attention on the next phase of their attempt to establish a New World
Order, conquest of Iraq, repossession of the oil reserves, and the
remaking of the Middle East. Documents have been uncovered detailing the
campaign for this illegal action by members of the current administration
dating as far back as 1998. A massive public relations ploy was required
to convince a gullible public to support the invasion. The government has
found it desirable to transfer the malignant feelings people felt towards
Bin Laden to Saddam Hussein in order to put a familiar face on this enemy,
and retain public support for action. We have witnessed multiple efforts
to accomplish this falsehood. A report that suspected hijacker Mohammed
Atta met with Iraqi intelligence officers in Europe was one of the first
attempts, and shows how long ago the plans to link Iraq to Al Qaeda were
set in motion. This report was not credible, and was swiftly debunked by
most credible experts. Many additional attempts to fabricate this link
have followed. To date, all have been unsuccessful.

President Bush stated in the press conference, “Even if the fiendish Iraqi
dictator was not involved with Al Qaeda, he has supported Al Qaeda type
