Abuse of Power: 9/11, War and the Neocons

You will see Eli Lake criticize what he calls "a small minority of people on the Internet" who are concerned about the negative influence neoconservatives have on U.S. foreign policy. His dismissive attitude is obnoxious considering how they've abused their power especially because of their actions leading up to 9/11. Because neoconservatives at the Pentagon abused the power they did have in 2001 when they maliciously used their influence to pursue their war agenda by insisting that intel warning that Bin Laden was planing to attack should be ignored!

Petraeus emails show general scheming with journalist to get out pro-Israel storyline http://mondoweiss.net/2010/07/petraeu...

"Criticize the neocons for what they are actually doing -- or even use the word "neocon" -- and you're an anti-Semite. That means they get to keep doing it even if it means they are acting on behalf of what they believe are Israel's interests ... rather than America's." - Eric Alterman

Civilian analysts gained Petraeus's ear while he was commander in Afghanistan
"Frederick and Kimberly Kagan, a husband-and-wife team of hawkish military analysts, put their jobs at influential Washington think tanks on hold for almost a year to work for Gen. David H. Petraeus when he was the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan."

The Forever Wars of Frederick & Kimberly Kagan
The Beltway power couple who boosted the Iraq invasion insist we stay longer in Afghanistan. By PHILIP GIRALDI 12/6/12

Neocons Guided Petraeus on Afghan War
Exclusive: Gen. David Petraeus was so cozy with neocon think-tankers that he ensconced two of them in his Afghan War command and granted them top-secret access to U.S. military policy. One later leveraged Petraeus's friendship to impress military contractors for funding support, writes Robert Parry.

"Instead of questioning this gross politicization of national security, the Washington establishment and media enable it by perpetuating the myth that Kimberly and Fred Kagan are mere experts in their field, which allows them the perfect platform to bully Obama on behalf of an empowered military authority.

There is little the establishment can do on its own: it is easily cowed by power and confidence and would rather reward the imperiousness of the neoconservatives than expose their double-branding. It is up to the media to at least call them what they are, not scholars or "analysts" but shills, marching the country into a quagmire, again."

[RepresentativePress]

thank you.

[john ediamond]

get him viceroys...

Can I add. Although critical of your motivation, your research is valuable and appreciated.

Perhaps more effort in proving yourself and less time debunking

[BrettL64]

This channel cracks me up . Only they see the truth and everyone else is misguided.

Seriously ,is it even remotely possible that your obsession distorts your perception ?

Why go around debunking (fraudulently) other truth theories ,then offering your view as gospel by forcing the official fantasy

.The governments refusal to deviate from their fairy tale cover story drove most thinking people to seek truth to begin with.

I dont know who's worse zionists or Christian zionists, i'd say it was the latter as they are being duped whilst the former benefit from their colonising & ethnic cleansing. The only difference between apartheid S Africa & Israel is that S Africa didn't invade anyone, confiscate their land & remove the native people by force using racial laws & military occupation etc. The resemblence between Nazi Germany & Israel is quite striking & any Jew that speaks out are like the white rose.

Tempest in a tea pot. Given that we all know there is no difference between the two parties, and that our government and the the Mossad attacked us on 9/11, and that Osama was, maybe still is, a CIA operative this story is a waste of time.

[EDOGZ818]

No argument there, I'm just stepping to RP to keep it real. IMHO, he's skirting around the issue.

[LiveCheapAndProsper]

but the public doesn't want hear that truth, they only interested in accepting "truths" that keep their selfish worlds from breaking apart, no matter how illogical those "truths" seem to us. Over 2.3 million died in Iraq and those responsible awarded peace prizes to one another for their part in mass murdering children, but still ... public doesn't care. Perhaps the poem "First they came" throws some light on human selfishness.
