Suddenly, the Bush Administration wants to help those poor, poor people in

the Sudan.

This was just on the Washington Journal on CSPAN. I thought I would check OIL and SUDAN and came up with a report dated 7/8/04.

I knew they did not care about those people. I guess the oil will help pay for the food and help we will give the Sudanese just like they said the oil from Iraq will pay for any infrastructure rebuilding, etc.

These people are shameless.

>>In September 2000, before George W. Bush won the presidential election, PNAC published the crucial report ‘Rebuilding America's Defenses:Strategies, Forces And Resources For A New Century’, in which they clearly stated that to attack Saddam was but an alibi for American supremacy: “The United States has for decades sought to play a more permanent role in Gulf regional security. While the unresolved conflict with Iraq provides the immediate justification, the need for a substantial American force presence in the Gulf transcends the issue of the regime of Saddam Hussein.” (p. 14). The report argued for a large-scale upgrade of the army and estimated that a yearly budgetary increase of 15 to 20 billion dollars would be required to transform the army into something like an 'imperial super-force’ taking the lead in “the revolution in military affairs”. However, PNAC was well aware that this objective would not be easy to achieve: “The process of transformation is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event—like a new Pearl Harbor” (p. 51). Thomas Donnelly, main author of the report is currently working for Lockheed Martin.<<

Got tunes??

2. You'll find lots of info about the genocide connected to oil companies in

Sudan on the web.

One reason Baker was working in Africa was the oil...and how to get it back to America. Bush INC turned their eyes early on to Africa.

This is just a small taste of the info out there:

3. Do not ever forget

that many of the Christain right have been upset about this situation for years, because it's not just an Arab-Black thing. The majority of those people being killed are Christains, so the Falwell's and Robertson's have been on this since 95.
This is not a plug for the Christian right, it's just a reminder that shrub cares because it's an election year and he's trying to shore up his base.

6. The christian right may be on the christians' side, but AWOL is on OIL's

side... they are NOT on the same side.

It's like AWOL's fake disdain for the Taliban.. the opressive oil regime keeps the people in line long enough for AWOL's oil buddies to come along and claim foul play then they steal the oil.

The Taliban is back in charge in Afghanistan but president DUMBASS doesn't give a shit because he's got his oil pipeline deal.

Sudan is about an attempt by the RNC to fake compassion for oppressed brown people in hopes of getting the black vote in November and it's also about getting more oil contracts for AWOL's buddies before he is run out on a rail in January...

same thing, different country.

7. I'm not disputing that

it's just that with his popularity falling, this is a convenient time for him to suddenly care.

5. this is why James Baker is defending the Saudi's vs the 911 families...

sarcasm off....

8. Ugh, this COULD go like bush #41's "photo op" in Somalia that Clinton

eventually got blamed for.
