Interesting developments with the UN today. Bush and his little half-witted buddy Powell have been well exposed for the liars and fools they really are. Unfortunately, their problem still remains on how to destroy Iraq's oil production capability in order push through legislation to exploit the half trillion dollars worth of oil under the Alaska National Wildlife Reserve.
So far everything points to Bush being the mastermind behind 9/11, with multi millionaire bin Laden being his hired hand to execute his need for an "incident". How did Powell know about the most recent bin Laden tape before anyone else? Did he perhaps help with the dialog?
Why didn't the plane aimed at the Pentagon on 9/11 do any damage? Was it perhaps just intended to be a rather spectacular fireworks display without causing any harm to the resident good ol' boys?
One of the most interesting post 9/11 official comments I saw expressed surprise the WTC wasn't actually strong enough to withstand being hit by jumbo jets. Is this a typical design specification for New York office buildings, or did George miscalculate the kill ratio?
Who actually benefited from 9/11? bin Laden sure didn't. Even the most disturbed patient in a locked ward would be able to figure out their organization would be annihilated in retaliation. Of course if the price were right, sacrificing a few martyrs to the cause might be written off as a business expense on both sides of the transaction.
Following in his daddy's footsteps, and going after Iraq, has obviously been Bush's dream and obsession since the day he was sworn in. Is there a chance in the world he could have come as close to realizing his dream without the New York strike? And how did the "war on terror" turn into a war on Iraq, which is probably the most poorly armed country in the Middle East?
Prying open ANWR would give Texas oil money nearly exclusive access to the reserves, which isn't the case with oil in Iraq. $500 billion divided by 3000 Americans works out to a $16 million bounty per person. The price on bin Laden's head is only a million.
Also, what about the anthrax attacks, which DNA testing showed to be US originated strains? Outside of the predictable over kill, it was targeted at politicians and the media. So, how do you gain political and popular support for war? By targeting the media and politicians.
From the UN's response, it looks like George is going to need another "incident". Will bid Laden come riding in on his white charger again to save George from political ruin? Would opening ANWR stop George's murderous rampage?
It's hard saying, but it doesn't look like anyone in Washington is bright enough to impeach George before he has a chance to kill anymore citizens. |
