Of course the wars in Afgha...Great post Bartlebee. Of course the wars in Afghanistan or Iraq were never about catching bin Laden or fighting terrorism. Soon after the fall of the Taliban, Bush diverted our resources into trying to secure the area for his planned gas pipeline from the Caspian to Karachi to divert control of the natural gas in the former Soviet republics known as "the stans" from the control of Russia to that of the Carlyle Group, a holding company in which the bin Ladens, the Sauds, the Bushes, and other prominent Reich wing elites have considerable investments. Unocal was to build the pipeline, which is why Hamid Karzai, a former Unocal employee, was installed as president. Iraq was never about anything other than grabbing the oil and establishing bases from which to dominate the region.TomCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11397335545286040472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102706.post-83034390616597691032008-04-11T08:17:00.000-07:002008-04-11T08:17:00.000-07:00Well, what did you expect?

One of the solutions to this that I would like to propose is a Constitutional Amendment that would limit the Presidents role as Commander in Chief to only those times when Congress has legally declared war. This would, IMO, put the power back into the hands of the peoples elected represenatives and maybe just curb the trigger happy kind of mentality that seems to infest the Executive Branch these daysfrankfreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07363811765037832164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102706.post-63583663730737156092008-04-11T01:19:00.000-07:002008-04-11T01:19:00.000-07:00Remember when Bush claimed he would listen to the ...Remember when Bush claimed he would listen to the Iraqis and leave if they wanted us to;<BR/><BR/><B>HE LIED</B>,<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://thinkprogress.org/2008/04/10/maliki-disagrees-petraeus/" REL="nofollow">Maliki Disagrees With Petraeus’s ‘Pause,’ Says ‘U.S. Troops Should Be Pulled Out’:</A><BR/><BR/><I> There is one important decision-maker that Petraeus and Bush don’t seem to be listening to: Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
