That was the full line as it was told by G. Bush on January 29, 2002 and repeated over and over during his term of office, and was intended to get the American population to consent to wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, in which they had no interest, but which were of capital interest to the neoconservative camp of Republicans seeking to weaken the Middle East\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Just like the video for previous single, \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/castthedice.org\/?p=16365\">There is no Alternative<\/a>\u2019,\u00a0the video for &#8216;Axis Of Evil&#8217; was also directed by Marco Dos Santos and features political stock footage.
