Heard Greg Palast on Mike Malloy last night |
|
His theory's that the war is about helping out the Saudis (!) and that mission is indeed accomplished, at least for this gang of crooks. I was pretty amazed that he actually came out and said that. Even for the British Press Palast is really ahead of the pack.
Is there more on some of his specific points about the real causes behind the war?

a very insighful & interesting book..."Armed Madness" buy it at Overstocked.com (if you choose). As Randi said today... "great summer reading"...Truly, a powerful, fantastic book!
Best seller if not already there.

3. 'Mission accomplished' indeed |
|
only 2,511+ us military killed, 18,000+ injured & maimed; who knows how many PTSD's and over 100,000 Iraqi civilians murdered...sure hope they all have made their million$ and are cozy w/ those bottom lines!
I really hate these people.

They are SICK, UGLY, ROTTEN, BOTTOM-OF-THE-BUCKET SCUM OF HUMANITY. And they have floated to the top. But, like all shit, they will sink. We all just wish it would happen NOW because we're aware of what's happened/ing.
They are so damned SICK, they believe they can WRITE HISTORY, just like Hitler and Stalin and other dictators, I am sorry to say.
SICK people, floating to the top,...I reckon it's a necessity to force acknowledgement of the society we've become.

11. Finally read "House of Bush, House of Saud" (been meaning to for awhile) |
|
if the Saudi financial connections are true, this administration is completely trapped.
