[Update 02/07: The United States and other states established the UN charter in answer to the horrors of Nazi Germany. Israel was recognized and offensive wars seeking treasure from sovereign nations were banned. This code, known as international law, was what America was all about until Bush/Cheney/Rice.
If you type in these words into Google, [Iraq, oil, Paul Oneil] and study the links, you will see that the former Secretary of Treasury, Oneill, viewed secret documents of the Bush administration that showed Iraq oil being split up among US and Britain's oil companies, ie Chevron, BP, Exxon, etc., and that these documents were created prior to 9/11! Of course this makes Bush, Cheney, and Rice as well as the brave soldiers of our nation into war criminals. The military was duped by the administration into committing the war crime of invading Iraq for the benefit of oil companies!! International law was ignored because of greed.]
[UPDATE on the evening of the election 2006 I quote this from public radio: "JOHN DIMSDALE: Phillip Verleger is a studious observer of global oil markets for the Institute for International Economics. He's not prone to hyperbole. But he says he was stunned when he heard the President talk about a U.S. role in protecting Iraq's oil reserves from terrorists.
PHILLIP VERLEGER: Essentially, by making that statement he has stated that his energy policy is totally bankrupt.
Ever since 9/11, Verleger says the Bush White House has refused to acknowledge any link between oil and the U.S. mission in Iraq.
VERLEGER: The reason they have studiously avoided it is it provides a huge incentive for taking big steps now to reduce U.S. oil imports. The only way you can do that is through conservation measures .. such as imposing an oil import fee or raising the gasoline tax."
So instead of conserving on fuel and making the USA independent on the Middle East, all we have to do according to Bush is to send a few more soldiers to die. We gotta keep those SUV's running after all!!! This President, with this revelation, truly disgusts me and the USA is worthy of better. Bush has destroyed the constitution by his attack on the rights of Americans, but that is a little more obscure to the average American. It is not obscure that he has failed to make us energy independent because it is easier to send troops to invade a country. Every conservative and liberal in this country should be disgusted and repulsed at this admission by President Bush. Just type in "oil, Bush, Iraq" into any search engine and you will see that the president of the United States is guilty of imperialism at the least and a war crime of invading a country for economic reasons at the worst. While I cannot make that judgement, it is a sobering thought.
We must remember that President Bush is a Protestant, and he is not good at separating church and state in his own world views. If anything, he believes that there is good reason to combine his church views with his worldview regarding running the country. This is in stark contrast to President Kennedy, who did not do so.
However this behavior of continually lying in the name of God is worse than anything Bill Clinton ever did with respect to the constitution of the United States. No one is saying that Bush is not concerned about the safety of America. It goes too far to say that he doesn't care. However, if the USA is not serious about its own constitution then who cares about the outcome in Iraq? This abuse of the constitution of the United States is the final lie of the Bush administration. It cheapens democracy and makes us look like a bunch of arrogant idiots. And if we don't care, we are even more stupid. One branch of the US government cannot take this kind of power into its own hands and expect to gain the trust of citizens, Europeans, Arabs or anyone.]
The fake letter from Nigeria was just one of the many lies used by Bush to divert attention from oil as a reason for going into Iraq, even though Laurence Lindsey, chief economics advisor said that oil was the key issue in regime change way back in 2002!!
I want to throw some links at everyone. I have not made up my mind if they are all true, but there are three things that are quite disturbing about this study that sprung from a program I saw tonight on an alternative tv station. They raise major questions.
First, the BROTHER of George Bush, Marvin Bush, was a partner in the security company that guarded the world trade center. I didn't know that. Second, there remains a gag order TO THIS DAY, so that firefighters that heard explosions on floors below the burning floors are not allowed to voice those testimonies. Third, it appears that building 7 was imploded. It fell just like a building that was imploded.
Here is one link: http://www.lewrockwell.com/reynolds/reynolds12.html
Here is another: http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/911security.html
And here is a wiki link showing that the neo conservative think tank, Project for the New American Century advocated that a Pearl Harbor type of event would be needed to get America to rise up as the dominant power in the world. Bush, Cheney, Perle, Wolfowitz, Armitage, Libby, Bolton, Quayle, Gaffney, Forbes, Perle, Rumsfeld, Rove, Krystol (at Fox News) are members.
This is an important article widely dispersed in Europe but censored by the corporate press in America: This article speaks of the PNAC "Pearl Harbor" and exposes even the effort to control cyberspace as a means of US world domination: http://politics.guardian.co.uk/iraq/comment/0,12956,1036687,00.html
With these rogues all on the same page, and with George Bush's strange response in that classroom when 9/11 hit, what do you think?
I support Israel, but these rogues make it very difficult for Israel to make their bed with neocons don't you think? After all, the charter of the UN is important to Israel, even if it is not important to the neocon imperialists.
Here is a post in my forum to Jay, and was originally posted at http://Bernardgoldberg.com :
"Rebuilding America's Defenses" made by PNAC, Project for the New American Century was for real. And here is a quote from section V, remembering that George Bush and Dick Cheney were members of this neocon organization. I believe that this neocon group came to power and modified the Bush One multilateral New World Order. It appears this report was issued one year prior to 9/11:
"Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new PEARL HARBOR. Domestic politics and industrial policy will shape the pace and content of transformation as much as the requirements of current missions. A decision to suspend or terminate aircraft carrier production, as recommended by this report and as justified by the clear direction of military technology, will cause great upheaval. Likewise, systems entering production today – the F-22 fighter, for example – will be in service inventories for decades to come. Wise management of this process will consist in large measure of figuring out the right moments to halt production of current-paradigm weapons and shift to radically new designs. The expense associated with some programs can make them roadblocks to the larger process of transformation – the Joint Strike Fighter program, at a total of approximately $200 billion, seems an unwise investment. Thus, this report advocates a two-stage process of change – transition and transformation – over the coming decades."
Jay,remember, it was said that Pearl Harbor was permitted, allowed by Roosevelt to anger the US citizens to war. It would be fairly easy for the United States government to allow another Pearl Harbor with all the terrorists trying to attack in the world. Why on earth would this report mention the need for a new Pearl Harbor and Bush and Cheney were members!!! Jay, this is a very ominous coincidence, don't you think? It is clear that Rumsfeld was given the task of doing all the other upgrades in this report. It is not beyond the realm of possibility that Dick Cheney was in charge of looking the other way and of controlling the intelligence leading up to 9/11. Remember, it has been said by many in government that Cheney turned a deaf ear to ominous intelligence as did Condi Rice, sweet little girl that she is.
Remember Jay, Bush repeatedly has said this Iraq War is as important as WW2. Well, of course, it was started by another Pearl Harbor. How logical of the man!!

Llinks advocating the reopening of the 9/11 investigation in the light of the PNAC paper speaking of a need for a 'new Pearl Harbor" to speed up America's desire to lead the world as the one true superpower.
