Bush and Blair behind Khadaffy's WMD sham

[CatWoman]

By ERIC MARGOLIS -- Contributing Foreign Editor
MIAMI -- Just before New Year, President George Bush and Britain's PM Tony Blair staged what French call a "coup de theatre."

That's Gallic for pulling a political rabbit from one's hat.

The rabbit in question was none other than Libya's Col. Moammar Khadaffy, once reviled as the world's most dangerous man and America's Enemy Number One.

After eight months of secret negotiations with Washington and London, the eccentric Libyan strongman grandly proclaimed his nation was abandoning its weapons of mass destruction (WMD).
Other "rogue" states would hasten to follow Libya's lead.

But on closer inspection, there was much less to this drama than met the eye. Khadaffy, in fact, had no viable WMD, contrary to fevered claims by neo-con propagandists.

4. Did we ever doubt that these guys were "calculating" *LOL*,...

,...and we did examine the eight months of secret negotiations on this board.

Question is: when will the populace GET the calculated and staged "incidents" being reported to them?

I suppose they will "receive" it as they become ready for it. Denial is overcome in small steps/stages. Most people can't handle the real life "shock and awe" of truths that are completely contrary to what they have been nurtured to believe in.
