War for Oil and Empire

A longer version, with maps of the Iraqi oil fields and new music clips, of the End the Endless War video. I didn't label the maps - the first two are of the oil fields in Iraq. The third map is of the semi-permanent American military bases in Iraq. Also at the end are some nice pictures of Dubya with the troops

I would then ask you to bring up someone who was able to search ALL of the Palaces in question.

I will bring up David Kaye as well, who was chosen by the Bushies to look for WMD.

I could also bring up Joe Wilson who found no evidence of uranium ore being purchased from Niger or being shipped to Iraq.

You're dumb as a brick:

CLINTON DID NOT INVADE AND OCCUPY IRAQ FOR ACCESS TO OIL, that is an indisputable fact;

CHENEY AND BUSH DID INVADE IRAQ TO GET TO THE OIL.

Besides both Cheney and Dumbya are Awl-men from Texas.

I knew you would bring him up. Ritter was the loudest person b4 hr "retired" saying we needed to invade Iraq. He left the UN when nobody would listen to him. He surprisingly changed his tune when he was paid $400,000 for a proIraq documentary. He has so many holes in his story it's not even funny. He was also almost arrested for soliciting a minor.

I refer you to:

Scott Ritter, former U.N. weapons inspector

David Kaye, Iraq Survey Group.

both have concluded that there were no significant stockpiles of WMD in Iraq.

BTW: neither France nor Germany supported the invasion of Iraq..

"Bad intel" was from us, France, England, Russia, and DEFECTED IRAQI SCIENTISTS. Don't forget the convoys spotted leaving Iraq into Syria right before the war(that is easy to google now). Intel on Iraq was difficult because he was so secretive (even had body doubled) BUT WOULDN'R ADHERE TO UN INSPECTIONS with expressed desires to blow up Isreal. Even paying money to family members of suicide bombers. 911 showed we were vulnerable. It was hunting season on America. Preemptive was the right way.

When you are on the left, you often think those who oppose your ideas are on the right. You really believe you got hold of some Top Secret plans? It was a pipeline backed by Clinton to go from the gulf, through Iraq, and INTO Turkey. That is an undisputable fact. However, if we don't start drilling ourselves for oil, or find an alt., there will be oil wars the world over. China's usage has doubled over the past 5 years.

Bush didn't care - Cheney, Rumsfeld and Rice were running foreign policy - not "W". Bush was watching the baseball game on TV.

Lots of the "bad intell" was generated by Rummy's Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). The DIA went around the CIA and its stuff ended up in presidential speeches without being vetted or double checked. The other group pumping out crap "intell" was the "White House Iraq Group" WHIG. WHIG's job was to sell the war to Congress and the American people.

Poor Bush:

He is only President and Commander in Chief!!!

He only has complete access to all classified intelligence. (Congress and the American people do not.)

Bush only can read complete transcripts of interrogations and investigation done by the CIA and the military. (Congress and the American people cannot.)

POOR BUSH, HE ONLY DECIDED TO TAKE THE COUNTRY TO WAR AND ORDER THE TROOPS INTO BATTLE.

THE BUCK DOES NOT STOP WITH MR. BUSH.

IT STOPS ELSEWHERE -

Is that so? I'm afraid that I have no knowledge when it comes England/France. It fills my heart with suspicion though, because I'd prefer to assume that a superpower like US would have it's on intelligence to rely on.

Thanks on your interesting views though, I'll do some research when I have more time about the effect of European countries.

I've always had the impression that US oppressed England to join the crusade. Hmh.

And I guess my apologies are also in place for my rude first post.
