This War on Terrorism is Bogus (A Must Read)

If an american wrote this, asskkkroft would lock him up and throw away the key for telling
the truth.

--------

The 9/11 attacks gave the US an ideal pretext to use force to secure its global domination

9-6-03 -- The Guardian

Massive attention has now been given - and rightly so - to
the reasons why Britain went to war against Iraq. But far
too little attention has focused on why the US went to war,
and that throws light on British motives too. The
conventional explanation is that after the Twin Towers were
hit, retaliation against al-Qaida bases in Afghanistan was a
natural first step in launching a global war against
terrorism. Then, because Saddam Hussein was alleged by
the US and UK governments to retain weapons of mass
destruction, the war could be extended to Iraq as well.
However this theory does not fit all the facts. The truth may
be a great deal murkier.

We now know that a blueprint for the creation of a global
Pax Americana was drawn up for Dick Cheney (now
vice-president), Donald Rumsfeld (defence secretary),
Paul Wolfowitz (Rumsfeld's deputy), Jeb Bush (George
Bush's younger brother) and Lewis Libby (Cheney's chief
of staff). The document, entitled Rebuilding America's
Defences, was written in September 2000 by the
neoconservative think tank, Project for the New American
Century (PNAC).

The plan shows Bush's cabinet intended to take military
control of the Gulf region whether or not Saddam Hussein
was in power. It says "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."
