1. No, it was a plan that worked perfectly. It was an invasion. And we saw

that most of the men we killed off. And the rest will be kept stupid and at the mercy of either our puppet government or, I suspect, the whackjob Islamic militants that eventually end up running the place.

4. Chile, Argentina

wherever - kill those who really think and others may become sheeple. It was all planned.
Ask Naomi Klein!

2. It is said that bushco is going to go into the tomorrows as free men and women

I think not.

3. There are so many on that list, many people who could have

helped to rebuild Iraq have either been killed or left.

5. The Iraqi Brain Drain

"...The spirit of this initial exodus was eloquently expressed by an Iraqi blogger with the online handle of AnaRki13:


"Not so much a migration as a forced exodus. Scientists, engineers, doctors, architects, writers, poets, you name it -- everybody is getting out of town.

"Why? Simple: 1. There is no real job market in Iraq. 2. Even if you have a good job, chances are good you'll get kidnapped or killed. It's just not worth it staying here. Sunni, Shiite, or Christian -- everybody, we're all leaving, or have already left.

"One of my friends keeps berating me about how I should love this country, the land of my ancestors, where I was born and raised; how I should be grateful and return to the place that gave me everything. I always tell him the same thing: 'Iraq, as you and me once knew it, is lost. What's left of it, I don't want…'

"The most famous doctors and university professors have already left the country because many of them, including ones I knew personally, were assassinated or killed, and the rest got the message -- and got themselves jobs in the west, where they were received warmly and given high positions. Other millions of Iraqis, just ordinary Iraqis, left and are leaving -- without plans and with much hope."

6. The plan was

Create and keep going total chaos. It was the only success bushco had. That and getting oil prices to rise.

Tin Foil Hat: Saudi Arabia was scared that the freedoms the Iraqi people were getting would soon bleed over into their country and into their people. The last thing the kingdom wanted was freedom for their people. Hence, they hired bush to end their worst nightmare.... never forget bush and the prince were holding hands.
