Et Tu, Friend?

What would you say if I told you that a certain oil-rich, non-democratic Middle Eastern nation is refusing to allow U.N. inspectors into its country to verify it has no nuclear program?

Would you say you've seen that movie already and that it's too soon for a bad sequel?

What if I also told you that the nation is a well-known breeding ground for radical Islamic terrorists, including most of those who attacked us on 9/11? You would say that's impossible, right?

I'd be inclined to agree, until pesky Orwellian reality like this intruded.

Want to support the troops? We can start by using our existing leverage with supposed allies before we send thousands of men and women off to their deaths fighting an alleged enemy.

Or is that what we were doing when this photo was taken?

Who cares? Saudi schools are freshly painted.

They couldn't be possibly hiding anything, could they? AQ Khan made a number of trips to Saudi and they weren't just tourist visits.

Makes me wonder if any MSM types are going to ask this question to Condi, Rummy, Cheney or dubya. Forget McClellan, he won't say anything worth anything.

Here is one for you, we attacked Iraq because Saudi Arabia didn't think we would. The Bush family and Cheney family could not bite the hand that feeds them.

This is how George Friedman who wrote "America's Secret Wars: Inside the Hidden Worldwide Struggle Between American and Its Enemies" interprets this administrations actions. They knew WMD was not the real reason. Saudi Arabia knew a lot about al-Qaida but was not cooperating with us. The Iraq war was a Saudi Arabia persuasion tactic.

So is this administration going to be like the boy who cried wolf; are we going to live in a constant state of fear or become desensitized.

These are folks who analyze intelligence for a living and they knew WMD was not true and it appears so was freedom for the Iraqis. It was a tactic to get Saudi Arabia to speak. I wonder how that is working?

Watch out, CR! Eventually your poor conservative head is going to explode. I know, because I'm a lifelong liberal and my head exploded quite some time ago.

Then, start asking yourself how and why we found ourselves in Iraq. And then, if you can stand it, ask yourself what REALLY happened on 9-11, and why.

We are being ruled by a criminal enterprise.

Well, if that's the case, then Saudi Arabia knows for sure that we are a paper tiger now (albeit one that can do an awful lot of damage), if they didn't before. Not too surprising they would have the nerve to reject UN inspections now. What are we going to do? Invade? Us and what army?

I don't believe that Bushco would ever do anything to truly intimidate the Saudis. They are just too close for that. All you have to do is look at their positions. "Follow the money", and you'll see that nearly all decisions impacting profits of enery companies (and governments) fall to the side of profitability.

Global warming? "Ain't happenin'." Saudi terrorists? "The Saudi gov't is really being helpful." (Yeah. Right.) Mercury? "I don't see any hotspots." Higher mileage standards? "Produce more!" Oil prices at an all-time high? "Give incentives to U.S. oil companies to explore more, despite the fact that they're already enormously profitable!"

Even if the question is posed to Condi, Rummy, Cheney or dubya, they will get a non-answer for an answer. Something that sounds nice if you detach yourself from your body, or can't comprehend material past a 4th grade level. And they'll repeat the sloganesque answer with such urgency that it has to be true.

Democracy Now is reporting that there is going to be a public hearing today on the Downing Street Minutes and how the administration manipulated intelligence and facts to justify Iraq and every major network is sending cameras except Fox News. Our kids were sent to war on manipulated facts and Fox doesn't see that as news worthy! And people are okay with this.

When PBS NOW is being picked for personal monitoring itself by Republicans, and Fox seems to be an extension of this administration... talk about Orwellian reality.

I have been following a site now for almost 2 years and I have found it to be both reliable and profitable. They post daily and their stock trades have been beating
the indexes easily.

Take a look at Wallstreetwinnersonline.com
