Bush Cheney wanted to invade Iraq before 9/11

Thread Starter 
I mean how many of us don't know this by now.... This admin. wanted to risk American lives and those of innocent Iraqis before 9/11 ever happened.

Don't you know it is "American" to invade other countries and kill people? At least according to NEOCON artists Bush and Cheney.

Here is the latest in this long nightmare for the world.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18348452/

My question is how can the 28% of you who still lick the boots of Bush and Co. still defend these people who like to make their business partners wealthy with American tax payer money and military and civillian lives?

Is there no shame? No sense of right or wrong?

I was waiting for this. And of course, Tenet's credibility and motives cannot be called into question. Anyone who does so is part of the sheeple.

SDW: And the administration's credibility is any better?

 

Your = the possessive of you, as in, "Your name is Tom, right?" or "What is your name?"

 

You're = a contraction of YOU + ARE as in, "You are right" --> "You're right."

Republican supporters get quite mad when people attack the administration - they also like to ridicule people who compare Bush to Hitler.

But the things is - and this is now something we need to face as a matter of the utmost urgency - is that the comparison is not based on crimes, Bush is nowhere near the moral equivalent of Hitler. It is not based on policies. The US is not (yet anyway) a totalitarian State.

It is based on the supporters.

The mindless, unquestioning support for any and every action of this administration without question. THAT is the unique situation in US political history and THAT is the equivalence of the German people in the 1920s and 30s.

In reality Bush and his cronies will probably never be an equivalence to the many dictators we have in the world even today.

But his blind hypnotized supporters far exceed any of the 'enablers' that those dictators have been able to call on. They represent a clear and present danger as they are complicit - if not directly responsible - for the removal of the checks and balances which are essential in any democracy. And they and their mindset will be there long after Bush has gone.

No-one - that is absolutely no-one - is above being accountable.

But Bush's supporters have elevated him and his cohorts to that status.

Will someone try to tell me how that is healthy?

or

a book is written which shines a light (truth) about a war which was unjustified and how those who wanted this war were planning it before 9/11?

You are correct 100%

I think some in the US are afraid to think for themselves.

They NEED Sean Hannity in order to know what to think / believe.

I don''t know what has led to this fear in America to think on one's own.

Clearly Tenet is shilling this book to cover his ass for the Hague War Crimes trials. But Richard Clarke indicated this and many other enterprising journalists.

The oil grab for Iraq has been going on since 1914 when the British invaded Iraq to set up a rail line connecting the Orient Express into Baghdad. Also in 1941 during World War II. Since then Iraq (and the Middle East in general) has been taunted, coddled and raped for their prime resource, oil.

In 1975, the Ford administration (remember that Cheney and Rumsfeld were aids to Ford then) received the report prepared by the Congressional Research Service titled "Oil Fields as Military Objectives: A Feasibility Study"...

"The possible use of U.S. military force to occupy foreign oil fields in exigency first surfaced as a serious issue in January 1975. This paper provides perspective, so that the Congress if need be could participate most meaningfully in deliberations to determine the desirability and feasibility of any such action.

Analysis indicates that sustained sanctions by all or most of OPEC's members would disrupt America's fundamental lifestyle and degrade U.S. security, although survival would never be at stake. By way of contrast, the vital interests of our major allies could quickly be compromised.

Any decision to ease agonies at home and (if need be) assist allies would be conditioned by political, economic, social, legal, and moral factors, but if nonmilitary facets were entirely favorable, successful operations would be assured only if this country could satisfy all aspects of a five-part mission:

--Seize required oil installations intact.
--Secure them for weeks, months, or years.
--Restore wrecked assets rapidly.
--Operate all installations without the owner's assistance.
--Guarantee safe overseas passage for supplies and petroleum products.

American abilities to cope with steps one through four would be suspect if sabotage were the only serious threat. U.S. parachute assault forces are too few to cover all objectives quickly. Amphibious forces are too slow. Skilled teams could wreak havoc before we arrived.

Presuming sufficient assets remained intact to serve U.S. interests, long-term security would remain a challenge. Two to four divisions plus substantial support would be tied down for a protracted period.

Shortages in specialized manpower and materials would make damaged facilities hard to repair or replace. Indeed, drafting U.S. civilian workers to supplant foreign counterparts might be mandatory.

Direct intervention by Soviet air/ground forces, a distinct possibility considering the strategic nuclear standoff, might make our mission impossible if we hit in the Middle East. Other areas would be mainly immune from such perils, but Soviet submarines would pose a serious problem if they struck in force--U.S. escort vessels are insufficient to insure safe passage for tankers and supply ships in any area, except the Caribbean.

In short, success would largely depend on two prerequisites:

--Slight damage to key installations.
--Soviet abstinence from armed intervention.

Since neither essential could be assured, military operations to rescue the United States (much less its key allies) from an airtight oil embargo would combine high costs with high risks. U.S. strategic reserves would be stripped. Prospects would be poor, and plights of far-reaching political, economic, social, psychological, and perhaps military consequence the penalty for failure."

This report is the standard that has been used from then to the present. The enemies (USSR) change, but the purpose is clear. Obtain the resources needed to remain a superpower. All well and good, but it's unfortunate that all this money and research wasn't directed to more innovative endeavors such as alternative fuels and automobiles. It's more than that to these powerful people. It's greed and power. And it isn't going to end.

Whenever I hear the "____________ had plans to invade (insert middle east country here) before 9|11" I realize that these persons are ignoring history.

um... NOT SLEEPING.

Fellows.. don't leap before you look. I was making a comment concerning the fact that the ex-officios (and their publishers) have begun their own predictable cycle of "whistleblowing" books after the fact. There's a lot of money in it. Take for example Dick Morris, who has made much more than he ever did working for Clinton telling the "truth" about his years with the Clintons. Gary Aldrich the same way.

Its a way for the "little people" to get their personal stock raised so they can make whack cash after the public service life is over. Just look at what "My Life" and the speaking circuit have made for Billy Jeff.

Please, find a judgement before you assume one.

For the life of me I cannot understand why you insist on clinging to this view of those who support the President. As I've said on several ocassions, the hypocrisy in this statement is amazing. You call Bush supporters blind zealots with a singular point of view. Yet, in a way you have the exact same type of view, only on the opposite side of the spectrum. Supporters of Bush blow your mind. I mean, to you it's so incredibly obvious what a terrible President and human being the man is. How could anyone disagree that was capable of free thought?

Therein lies your problem. In reality, Bush supporters are often far more open minded and capable of rational independent thought than you are. For example, I as a Bush supporter can understand some of the reasons you hate him and his administration. I understand why you dislike the man's policies. I don't agree at all, but I understand. But to you...it's the actual people, not the view that you take issue with. You have the unmitigated arrogance to believe that the only reason they think that way is because they are not intelligent, brainwashed or just not informed as well as you are.

It's a very dangerous mindset you have...believing that anyone who is a free and intelligent thinker will agree with you. However, it does make you feel better yourself I would imagine. At least that's a plus.

I don't often camp on Artman's side of the fence, but his is the best post in the thread thus far.

Is there really anybody that didn't know the U.S. had wanted to rid themselves of Hussein and establish a foothold in the Middle East before 9-11?

And by the way, "the U.S." I'm talking about includes plenty of Democrats as well as Republicans.

As Artman correctly mentions, this kind of thing has been going around a very long time.

I don't really see anything new here and I'm not sure what Fellowship's point is in bringing it up, other than to once again play holier than thou. Certainly both sides have used their positions of power to enrich their friends at the expense of everyone else.

And it's hard to believe Screener actually registered just to admonish "Jubelum and SDW and their ilk."

If you registered simply to take shots at people you disagree with, crawl back under that rock and enjoy the view.

They wanted- needed - it to happen, and quite possibly knew it was going to happen. Just like Pearl Harbor, it set other things into mtion, things the admin wanted lacked popular support for. Bang! There's all the support you need.

Who sat reading kiddie books long after the attacks occured, which was a good while after how many planes were hijacked? That the Secret Service did not grab him out of the school shows that at least somebody had a good grasp of the scope of the attacks on 9/11.

That is the most insane take on the issue I have read in a long while.

It is well known that the Secret Service operates independently of the President concerning his security. The fact that he was not immediately hustled out of a school located in Florida because of an attack taking place in New York only shows that the Service initially thought the attacks were an isolated incident.

Which is what most of us thought as well.

The fact is, if Bush had immediately gone into Presidential-take-charge mode looking like he immediately knew the scope and relevance of the attacks, you might have a case.

Seriously Sego, if you're going to continue to play the conspiracy card, make it plausible.

NORAD was informed of hijackings at 8:40 and 8:43, with the first impact (8:46) occuring before Bush arrived at the school; another plane was on the loose. The first plane had diverted rather dramatically from its course, as had the second. Another hijacking was just being realized, and the Pentagon's alert status was elevated at 9:00. At 9:05, Andrew Card informed Bush of the second impact going so far as to say "we are under attack", thus ending all possibility in GW's mind of the first crash being an isolated incident. No, it was then a crisis that needed responding to.

And the reading continued.

I was watching CNN live when the second plane hit, and my immediate reaction at the time was that both were premeditated acts part of a larger scheme and that more of something was coming; if someone will go to the trouble to hijack two planes simultaneously and ram them into the same place, they are certainly capable of doing more. It didn't take CNN long, either, to mention that something could be afoot. Their guest Furman who was a NTSB guy, pointed to the clues: good visability, no planes usually in the area, 2 back to back crashes... and this was without the knowledge that others had about the hijackings. He specifically said: FURMAN: I don't think that this represents an accident.

Pearl Harbour was real, Bay of Tonkin was a deception, similar to Tenent's claims.

This is going to expand in importance , well the sh't is going to fly.

Sorry but I've seen footage of his " Take charge mode ". It looked more like a deer in the headlights to me. Correct me if I'm wrong but he was being briefed during that time. I mean what did he have be told? " Airliners have been hyjacked and are hitting buildings Mr. President ". I saw an aid whispering to him about the incident.

Also once again ( I asked this back in 2001 ) how is it possible that an airliner flew all the way to the Pentagon and crashed into it? You know the center for military operations for the western world. You would have thought it would have been taken out long before that happened regardess of the passengers. I mean look how many more people died because of it. Then of course there's the report that was sent to Mr. Bush prior to this about the possibility of OSBL using airplanes as weapons.

It really kind of suspends one's disbeilef.

Surely.

Flight 77 was commandeered around 08:51 AM, and headed out west as far as Kentucky, then did a 180º, disappeared off FAA radar for awhile, and crashed at 9:38 AM. It was under rogue control for some 47 minutes (!!), flying within a few minutes' scramble time from numerous Air Force bases.

It's bizarre that Hani Hanjour decided to fly so far to the west, and be in the air as a sitting duck for so long before hitting his target. How did he know beforehand that all protocols would be suspended, and he wouldn't get challenged? (Otherwise he would have *surely* have selected at least a slightly more direct route?) Logic?

And nobody was even fired.

It defies all bounds of credibility what the "Nellies" will believe and swallow.

"Stop using words that hurt. Start using words that heal."

April is child abuse awareness month. Please take a minute to consider how you can help the countless children who live with abuse of all kinds across the world.

APRIL is the cruellest month, breeding\t
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing\t
Memory and desire, stirring\t
Dull roots with spring rain.

Oh, the irony of thou with such dead season'd name
Waxing poetic on the beauties of ressurection!
How the fates bring it about
From midwinter, on to spring again...

In the bleak midwinter, frost wind made moan,
earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow,
in the bleak midwinter, long ago.
