Not a cheap shot at all. Of course he can read. He has however, admitted
on several occasions that he doesn't. If you know what is right, are firm
in your convictions, and are guided by faith and prayer, there is nothing on
paper you need to learn in order to make the right decisions. Facts are
simply confusing and temptations to depart from the path of righteousness
that the lord has laid out for you.

Believe me, this is not satire. I'm absolutely serious.


Sort of like the burning of the library at Alexandria by the Moslems.

In 640 AD the Moslems took the city of Alexandria. Upon learning of "a
great library containing all the knowledge of the world" the
conquering general supposedly asked Caliph Omar for instructions.

The Caliph has been quoted as saying of the Library's holdings, "they
will either contradict the Koran, in which case they are heresy, or
they will agree with it, so they are superfluous."

These facts condemning Omar were written by Bishop Gregory Bar
Hebrĉus, a Christian who spent a great deal of time writing about
Moslem atrocities without much historical documentation.

Apparently those who refuse to study history ARE doomed to repeat it.

I agree but WHAT was the agenda?

It was well laid out ad infinitum in the U.S. news media - who were
willing, unquestioning and ass-kissing promulgators - by GWB and his
neocon spokesmen for a year leading up to the invasion of Iraq.
They repeatedly espoused the following beliefs, which can be viewed as
their "agenda."
1. Saddam Hussein had WMD (emphasis on nukes.)
2. Saddam was at the very least in collusion with Al Qeada - or
however you wish to spell Bin Laden's operation, and might supply them
with WMD.
4. Saddam was a bad guy anyway, so that's a bonus.
3. The Great U.S.A, in the name of humanity would engage in a
one-month war in Iraq, kill the "bad guys," thereby "protecting
America," be greeted by the grateful formerly subjugated citizens
carrying flowers of appreciation, install the first Democracy in
Arabia, which would then move its angelic wings over the blazing sands
of the Mideast, stirring the zephyrs of.......
4. Peace in our time.
5. BTW, it wouldn't cost a cent. Iraqi oil would pay for it.
Will you please contain yourself? It's not *that* funny.
Ironically, because it gives some credence to the far-ranging musings
of Larry's "suspicious mind," these ideas were most vociferously
promulgated here on the various news talk shows by the Jewish neocons
Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, and Frank Gaffney. Another neocon Jew,
David Frum, wrote GWB's axis of evil speech, and yet two others,
editorialists Bill Kristol and Charles Krauthammer. led the charge
from the fifth estate.
To top it off, Wolfowitz, when he and the others had been thoroughly
discredited by events in Iraq, was nominated by GWB to head The
World Bank! His ethics were tested there. He flunked yet again.
But it does bring the "New World Order" into play.
Personally, I don't much believe in conspiracies. There are so many
Jews in prominent positions running around here it would make your
head spin trying to link them up.
Besides, most Jews are probably commies.
No, it was just a bunch of stupid men overestimating their own
intelligence and perceptions. An arrogant and stupid lot.
9/11 set them in motion, and it was Bin Laden who gave GWB the
opportunity to free these fools from their restraints.
I do believe these guys brainwashed GWB, as his mind isn't very
robust. He's already forgotten his promise to get Bin Laden.
I think I have seen Perle and Gaffney once each on TV since it became
evident what fools they are. They never appeared again as far as I
know, probably because the networks received thousands of complaints
at seeing them show up to assault the senses once again.
In any case that's my view of the "agenda," a trifle expanded.
You can thank your lucky stars you aren't exposed to American cable
TV, and had to ask!

Gosh when a set-up is this easy, with moralizing about "facts" not
getting in the way of predetermined biases; and with so many people
needing to believe so many false facts to ridicule Bush, I just couldn't
let this go.

Too bad Bush never read T E Lawrence's "Seven Pillars of Wisdom". He
might have thought twice, but then again probably not.

"All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty
recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but
the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream
with open eyes, to make it possible."

It isn't, unfortunately. The admission was part of a very carefully set of
plans to appeal to the middle/lower class white, religious voter. He also
"adapted" the word nuculer to fit with the beer-buddy image.

Careful, this is from someone in Bezerkeley.

It's those damned Americans....every time. They love to be blamed.


So, we should just go for it? Just because someone else is doing

Then what are you doing in Iraq?


Sorry the temptation overcame me.


It's a great temptation to lump all Americans with Bu****, so I forgive
you!

I find it ironic.. the "surge" is working by driving the terrorists to
Afganistan. If we had gone after them in that place first... sigh,
you're
right it's tempting.

I must have missed something.

Have they found oil in Afghanistan?

I for one am interested in the outcome as historically nobody from
outside has managed to completely conquer and rule that country from
Alexander, the British, to the Russians. If you have ever experienced
the tribal nature of most of its citizens you would understand more
the difficulties. Xenophobia is in the genes.

Big oil and the neo-con free-market philosophy of the Univ. of Chicago, ala
Milton Friedman.

Don't think Obama is immune from this kind of thinking. It's hard to get
away from economic tricksterism masquerading as "free market" capitalism.
