Hawkmoon,
Thanks for your thoughts, such as they are. Perhaps it doesn't cross your narrow point-of-view that the U.S. government is waging a war on its own citizens.
The news today about how the National Missile Defense system is gaining strength is terrible news for America's people.
Cf.: dailyvanguard.com
NMD is an unworkable boondoggle that is nothing more than an utterly corrupt money and power grab by a vile, despicable and out-of-control bunch of greedheads. The only thing guaranteed about this program is that billions of dollars will be passing into the hands of Repuglican party bribers who see fascism and deceit as their road to an evergreen-golden land of Oz. In the meantime, the public be damned.

Re: And WHO ELSE was paying Saddam??? Do you think the CIA was able to maintain total control over him??
This issue is the corruption of US agencies like the C.I.A. and the problems with 'blowback' of the deranged foreign policies of the various U.S. administrations over the decades. The issue is not the historical ties of the Iraqis who correctly see the U.S. occupation and resource theft as a continuation of Britain arrogant imperialism of the 20th century. Of course Iraq would prefer to trade with France, Russia and other non-aligned nations as to being over-run by the "Great Satan". In that regard, at least Saddam Hussein showed some degree of integrity, as opposed to the realpolitik excesses of hypocrisy as practiced by the Repuglican regimes in Washington.

Please note. I am not an apologist for Saddam Hussein. I am delighted that his thuggish regime has been removed from power.
However, you should also begin to think more skeptically about the current situation we find ourselves in. Apparently, the C.I.A has cut yet another deal with Hussein, and has allowed him to escape the fate that that supreme liar George Bush led the American people to expect.
Doesn't it raise red flags for you that George Bush never, ever seems to get his man? Osama Bin Laden ring a bell? Isn't it just altogether too convenient that once we'd run the news string on the occupation of Baghdad and the news needed something else of chew on, that we had Osama Bin Laden's troops come back onto center stage. Doesn't the financial ties between the Bin Ladens and the Bush family make you at least a little skeptical? If not, you may be too clever by half, with your exquisite technical knowledge of military systems and a huge void in your comprehension about how these military systems have been put to malignant strategic purposes by a very evil cabal of greedheads.
I profoundly hope that you take the time to examine in some depth and detail why it is that the Bushistas seem to be getting richer, every time a terrorist act occurs, and the American public are getting more impoverished and having their futures sold out, apparently, by a military industrial complex that has a voracious capacity to destroy the collective future of the American public as it gathers its strength and turns the U.S. into a garrison state and military police gulag society.
Do you see this as a bright future? I utterly reject the vision of the paranoids who control the Project for A New American Century.

Yet it is these paranoid and greedy men who seem to in control of our destiny. It's time to send these men back to the obscurity and wackily malignant back alleys of policy making that they so richly deserve. They mean no good for the bulk of humanity, but rather, represent an unmitigatedly parasitic malaise upon civilization.
