The Stench of Truth (62) The world at large

Bush says timetable for troop withdrawals from Iraq is not out of the question. Huh? Pentagon is concerned. Election dance continues as Obama slowly morphs into McCain. Obama tells Karzai he will do more for Afghanistan if he is elected. Obama wants an army of snitches and spies with a civilian "National Security" force, maybe a sort of Hitler youth to spy on everyone.
The Airlines will probably all be out of business soon along with tens of thousands of other businesses opting for bankruptcy. Paulson of the Treasury says banks are fine! No need to panic! Yeah, but warns of months of tough times. Cataclysmic economic didaster is imminent.

Uncomfortable FACToidals.

1. We will never leave Iraq no matter who is elected, not elected, or refuses to leave office.

2. Iran will be attacked. Nut-jobs like Hagee, Robertson and others who are in positions of actual power believe they are ushering in the Second Coming of Christ in doing so. Religious insanity.

3. The Police State is being put in place if it isn't already.

4. Terrorism is the universal boogie-man. Read The Watchmen.

That is probably all true. It seems right now that the emphasis has been moved from Iran to Afghanistan and Pakistan but Iran will still be a target to be sure. The Armageddon thing is actually quite interesting. We have people as you say who actually are TRYING to make it happen so that they can help fulfill supposed prophecy. Crazy as hell. War on terror is endless and unwinnnable thus universal and ubiquitous, an excuse for just about any type of rape of this country and our rule of law.

"Follow the money."

In early 2007, an Iraqi law was proposed that allowed Big Oil to take a percentage (75% at first, then 20% for the next 30 years) of the profits of Iraqi oil sales. The Iraqi govt. has been dragging their feet all this time, but has continuously been pressured by the Bush administration to pass it. Finally, the Iraqis said "OK, as long as we can add a provision for US troop withdraw."

And SURPRISE! Bush is suddenly in favor of US troop withdraw.

The emphasis as well in foreign policy seems to be away from the neocon agenda of "Iran now" to instead focus on Russia and China by way of Pakistan and possibly India. This in deference to Brezinski, almost as if Obama is a foregone conclusion.

Our actual real objectives in Iraq were finally completed. Which were:

1) Big Oil gets a big percentage of all Iraqi oil sales for the next 30yrs or so

2) Previously protected areas may now be drilled for oil

Notice the big decline in oil prices in the past week, now that both of those objectives have been met. Dollar value hasn't changed, still at $1.57 Euro.

One would think "ITS OVER FINALLY"......no this is just a lull. Next objective is to do the SAME THING IN IRAN. God help us all.

Yes but pakistan has plenty of nuclear bombs, we need them for when isreal and pakistan decide to MAD eachother so we can step in and save the day. My point is we won't attempt to take pakistan ever until were really ready...

We've already had a few air strikes in Pakistan this year. I'm not saying the U.S. is going to march into the country, but that it will be a staging point for operations.
