Conversations With History - Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson

"Vice President Cheney and America's Response to 911"

Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, U.S. Army (ret.)
Chief of Staff to the Secretary of State (2002-2005)

Conversations host Harry Kreisler welcomes Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, U.S. Army (ret.), for a discussion of the break down of the national security process in the administration of George W. Bush. Colonel Wilkerson offers an insider's view of the Cheney-Rumsfeld cabal that drove American policy in the wake of the Al Qaeda attack on 911. The Vice President's manipulation of the policy process, he argues, led to a lack of a post conflict planning for Iraq and the failure to abide by the Geneva conventions. Wilkerson also analyzes the motives of Cheney and Rumsfeld, their penchant for secrecy, and speculates on the long term costs to American democracy, power and prestige.

Terrific upload. Wilkerson, Armitage and Powell were the only genuine people in the Bush administration. It's a shame they didn't have more power or a president who wasn't a puppet.

@Tsnore Why would you believe Wikerson any more than Cheney or Rumsfeld? Wikerson mentioned they were anti-Kissinger, as though that was bad. Kissinger is a bilderberg globalist, working towards a one world government. Does Wilkerson, a former UNITED STATES MILITARY OFFICER, not a UN official, support that agenda? Can`t help but wonder. 

This guy could be a shape shifting master of deception working on behalf of a globalist government, scapegoating others to hide his true self.

He states he wants to come clean, blow the whistle, tell the truth….! but he only wants to tell 80% of the truth. He tells us about everything that's happened since 911, as a result of 911. How Chaney and Rumsfeld used 911 to advance their agenda in the Middle East and around the world.

BUT, his truth telling is based on the fact that the events of 911 happened just as we were told. He's just not going deep enough. And I'll bet he knows exactly what happened that Day.

This interview reveals the utter incompetence and malfeasance of the first Bush administration, Bush's management ineptitude, the power of the Neocons, and the great dastardly evil that Dick Cheney was. And all this from a conservative Republican who was there on the inside. Unfortunately, they don't make Republicans like this anymore.

well, the "vision" he's talking about @48:20 takes shape:

war in Lybia, war in Pakistan, war in Yemen, more war and opium in Afghanistan, don't mention it, but there's a war in Iraq. Yep, freedomloving US of A, we see the vision clearly.

There are only puppets in the oval office, and the sooner you admit and look up the REAL owners of your country, the better for the peoples of the world it would be.

Your "hope and change" dancer with a nobel peace price is a shame, just like GWB & both Clinton
