BBC Report: Bush Made War Plans BEFORE 911!!
The Bush administration made plans for war and for Iraq's oil long before the 9/11 attacks, and within weeks of Bush's first taking office, according to a BBC report. The planning to pirate Iraq's oil was the foundation on which the current uncontrollable insurgency has been founded, and the main reason why it will continue, and why so many of our men and women are being killed in Iraq.

Our Saudi Ally: US Occupation of Iraq is Illegal

Speaking to the Arab summit in Riyadh, the king warned that unless Arab governments settle their differences, the United States would continue to dictate the region's politics. The king, one of our very, very, very few allies in the region, described the US troop presence in Iraq as an ILLEGITIMATE OCCUPATION.
King Abdullah certainly appears to assume that Bush's "strategy" in Iraq is certain to fail, and he is seeking a new policy for Iraq, a policy that must be coordinated with Syria.
Abdullah is also very angry that Bush is letting the Palestine issue fester, and that he pushed for open elections in Palestine, but then cut off the freely elected Hamas government.

Prior Knowledge of 9/11: Don't Ask, Don't Tell!

Seems that William Bergman, an economist who worked for the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago from July 1990 to early 2004 got a little too close to the truth: "Insiders" made billions of dollars on "put" options , in fact, betting that a stock which would certainly be affected by the Trade Center bombing and the resulting shutdown of all air traffic, would lose an enormous portion of it's value.When I was studying for my MBA, our teacher, a man with a delightful sense of humor, described "put" options as a device to "put it to" someone who was not privy to insider information.
During 911, these insiders were taking "put" options, in essence betting that the stocks in which they took a position would plummet, and "PUTTING" it to the uninformed small investor. These small, insignificant investors would then further help these thieves by sending their sons and daughters to fight a war against an innocent nation under fraudulent pretenses. Where are these weapons of "mass" destruction.
US will Attack Iran at 4 AM, April 6, 2007
Expect the long awaited US attack on Iran at 4 AM on April 6. According to a deliberate leak by Russian intelligence services, the US attack is slated to last for 12 hours, from 4Am til 4PM local (Iran) time. Most probably, there will be no ground attack, but rather massive air attacks on key economic assets, and quite possibly the Iranian political leadership.General Ivashov (see photo), believes that the US expects to degrade the Iranian air defense system, sink a substantial number of Iranian warships, and wipe our the most important headquarters of the Iranian armed forces. It is quite possible that the Pentagon will use tactical NUCLEAR WEAPONS to create panic among the population and create chaos inside that country.
At this time, it is uncertain to what extent the Russian military forces will intervene, which would create a severe worldwide security crisis.

Similarities Between Adolf Hitler and G.W. Bush
The "bloodforoil.org" website lists 25 similarities between Adolf Hitler and G. W. Bush:
Both were at one time popular with their nation's majority
Both were poor students and failed businessmen, but with ties to big business
Both curtailed civil liberties in response to questionable terrorist attacks
Both glorified patriotism, controlled the media, and used propaganda to stir public support
Both claimed to be fervent Christians, their nation's destiny favored by God
Both pursued recklessly belligerent nationalist foreign policies
Both used war preparations to boost their defense industries
etc, etc, etc....
It isn't quite as bad as it was in Nazi Germany - YET.
Let's work together so that we don't slide down that slippery slope!

"We Can't Make It Here, But We'll Fight for Oil"
As you can see here, our President, who spent the Vietnam war flying National Guard planes within the safe environment our United States, is doing very well. Given his background, how can he possibly identify with our male and female soldiers, whom he has sent into harm's way in Iraq for so many years.It seems that it takes a gifted singer and talented songwriter like James McMurtry, to set the record straight. (Please click on the title of this posting, or these words, to visit his web site). His haunting ballad: "We Can't Make it Here", should stir the conscience of our citizens who are paying for this ill-conceived war.
A recent "documentary" television program alleged that our CIA had reported Iraqi "weapons of mass destruction", before our ill-conceived war, based on the interview of ONE flaky Iraqi dissident. Having served as Intelligence Operations Officer of the US 4th Armored Division in Goeppingen during 1967/68, I can guarantee that OUR shop would never have dared to advise our commander to commit troops to an attack based on one flaky source. All of us who served in any area of our fine intelligence community have a sincere and well-deserved respect for the professionals in our CIA. Any allegation that this superb group of highly-trained professionals would come to such a bizarre conclusion, based on such flimsy "evidence" represents a gross insult to the many fine professionals in our intelligence community.

Prince Harry: Leading by EXAMPLE !
Prince Harry, age 22, has demanded that if his unit goes into battle in Iraq, he would be leading them. Having trained to become troop commander of an armored recon unit, the courageous prince had threatened to quit the army, if not allowed to serve on the frontline.What a difference moral courage between him, and the man who is currently serving as President of the United States: When I served in Vietnam, George W. Bush found it convenient to fly National Guard planes around the United States. As a man who has never dared to place himself into harm's way, though he won't hesitate to expose others to danger, his words ring hollow, when he congratulates our wounded for their courage, and, with crocodile tears, thanks the traumatized dependents of our dead for their sacrifice - one which HE was NEVER willing to make.
My father, Gerhard May, was drafted into the German Army in World War II, though he detested the Nazi regime with all of his heart and soul. During my last visit with him, after I had completed the Jungle Operations Course in Panama, and just before I shipped out for Vietnam, he insisted that we have a serious talk: "When I served in the German Army, first in Yugoslavia, and then in Italy, all of my officers had one thing in common: They led by example, and always shared the risks with those of us under their command. If you can't do that, don't come back. Of course, I was shocked that my father would even think that I would not measure up to that standard, and, as S-5 of the 1/10 Cavalry Squadron, as Advisor to the 748 Regional Forces Montagnard Company, as well as during my posting as Advisor to the 25th ARVN Battalion at Trung Lap, at the edge of the "Iron Triangle", I kept faith with the promise to my father. More important, I kept that promise to myself, and to the men with whom I had the honor of serving.
Beside the obvious matter of rank and privilege, there is one more important difference between the prince and myself: He is obviously a lot better looking than I ever was, and, born into a privileged environment, he has a great deal more to lose. His willingness to expose himself to severe danger, together with the less fortunate of his countrymen, is the sign of a truly noble nature, which far transcends the accidents of birth into a privileged class. In our United States of America, we should earnestly pray, that we might, one day, be led by a man as great as Prince Harry of England, a man who is TRULY noble!
