Know your BFEE: WikiLeaks Stratfor Dump Exposes Continued Secret Government Warmongering

20. Mr. Carlin was a living Buddha.

Profound and Unforgettable and True.

So was Sam Kinnison.

"War's the only thing we're any good at, anymore."

That video was from Gulf War I, back in 1991. A Bush had to lie to get America to make that war, too.

Our Government Has Already Been Caught Lying About Iraq

It turned out that the "Iraqi troops satellite photos" were fake

"We were told that Iraqi troops were massing at the Saudi border. And these satellite photographs were shown to the Saudi leadership, to get them to change their mind and allow US troops to enter their country.

Well it turned out that those satellite photos were fake. They never existed. The story was broken in the St. Petersburg Times some months later. And it was something that people were convinced of because we were told it was satellite photographs" - Phyllis Bennis from the Institute for Policy Studies

There was virtual unanimous acceptance by the media of the allegedly enormous manpower behind Saddam's territorial ambition. Only the St. Petersburg Times, a well-respected Florida daily under independent ownership, challenged the government line. In a top-of-front-page story published on Sunday, January 6, Washington bureau reporter Jean Heller reported that satellite photos of the border between southern Kuwait and Saudi Arabia taken on September 11 and 13, 1990, by a Soviet company revealed "no evidence of a massive Iraqi presence in Kuwait in September. . . ." "A number" of American news organizations had bought the same pictures (see article below) and shown them to various experts, [satellite imagery expert Peter] Zimmerman said, and "all of us agreed that we couldn't see anything in the way of military activity in the pictures." But again cautiousness overcame curiosity among the media.( from footnotes to Understanding Power)

For at least three generations, war for oil in the Middle East is a Bush family tradition.

PS: Thank you very much for the video, Initech. Mr. Carlin was just getting started...
