Editor,
If 67 percent of Daily Lobo readers believe the commander in chief of the United States armed forces lied to start a war, according to the poll on the Lobo's Web site, I hope they have the courage to stand up and do something about it.For over a week, I have been following the reports that U.S. forces used chemical weapons against Iraqis in last year's territorial pissing in Fallujah. There seems to be some sort of news blackout on this story in America, but here in the information age, we can all see the evidence for ourselves.I'm just worried about the 7 percent of Daily Lobo readers who think Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and was involved in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.On Tuesday, the Pentagon confirmed that they used white phosphorous on "terrorists" in Fallujah, after saying for over a year that they had not. The armed forces are a terrorist organization commanded by the world's No. 1 terrorist, George Bush. The actions of the United States' mainstream media are those of traitors to the American people.
