PRESIDENT BUSH LIED AGAIN                                 Home Tod Landis December 19, 2005 In his national address on Sunday, December 18, 2005 the President told the American people another lie. Referring to 9/11, he said "On that day, we were not in Iraq, we were not in Afghanistan but the terrorists attacked us anyway...". But in his book Bush at War, Bob Woodward reveals that in July, 2001, the National Security Council, discussed a plan for eliminating al Qaeda.  On September 4, 2001, one week before the World Trade Center attacks, a committee within the NSC settled on a plan to spend $125-200 million on a covert war in Afghanistan, supporting the Northern Alliance, with the goal of overthrowing the Afghanistan government.   We were in Afghanistan,  and waging war there, before  the September attacks.   And we were already allied with a gang of thugs. If Mr. Woodward has his facts right, the President has again lied to the American people to justify waging war.  A high crime.
