I've been alive too long to actually take anything our government says at face value. There credibility is about as geniune as a used car salesmen with a cocaine habit. I mean, how many times can the U.S. government lie and get caught lying, and then continue to be considered a reliable source by the American people? It's as if people just don't care.

I look at and analyze (think about) the bigger picture and it tells me we've got a government that has a clear agenda to maximize oil profits and will do anything to further that agenda. From my vantage point, it appears that the U.S. government has literally been hijacked by the oil interests. Our last 25 years of history is a history that is heavily intertwined with the interests of big oil. Their interests have literally changed the course of history. From the 1980 Reagan/Bush campaign deal with the Iranians holding Americans hostage in our embassy in Tehran, to our dealings with Iranian terrorists in Iran/Contra during the 1980s, then as we stood by and let Saddam invade Kuwaitt in 1990 and then booted him out to station our troops in the oil rich region, and then imposed cruel sanctions on Iraq for twelve years to keep a firm grip on the oil, then attacked Iraq in 2003 on false pretenses to grab control of the 2nd biggest oil reserves in the world.

Remember, it is the Iran/Contra crowd who told us today after the alleged Bin Laden tape that they will not negotiate with terrorists. Yeah, like we were born yesterday and have no memory.
