Subject: Weapons of Mass Destruction

You've completely missed the point Dave. No one questions the
possibility the WMDs were there.

The complaint is how we went there to solve the problem. No consensus,
no coalition, no use of diplomacy.

A march to war on trumped up information (leave WMDs behind a moment),
beating the drums ever louder -- foregoing diplomatic resolutions for a
**** you, get out of my way, he's toast approach. It's the unilateral
approach that has America completely responsible militarily, monetarily,
ethically, morally responsible for the outcome. Our kids lives and our
cash at risk.

Bush is finally getting around to the true ambition of this
administration, to shove democracy down the throats of the mideast.

As many of the rec.boats contributors have been telling you and others,
the basis of this action can be found in the treatises written by the
political alliance known as Project for the New American Century.

It's based on the 1970s movement initiated by Kissinger and has as its
founding premise the idea that controlling the mideast is manditory if
the US expects to remain the only superpower. It's not about having
control of the oil product, it's about holding sway in the territory.
That insures it doesn't fall into the wrong hands and the ability to
have a hand in determining world oil pricing.

Now, you are finally hearing Bush's long term plan. It's not about
terrorism or Osama bin Laden. It's about influencing control over the
region.

So, the American public has been sold a bill of goods based on a
movement that was in place long before the events of 911. Bush and Rice
decided within days to use the events to draw Iraq into the the fray.


So, have fun pointing at trees Dave, but don't forget to notice the
forest.
