The document, obtained this week by The Washington Post, shows that officials from Exxon Mobil Corp., Conoco (before its merger with Phillips), Shell Oil Co. and BP America Inc. met in the White House complex with the Cheney aides who were developing a national energy policy, parts of which became law and parts of which are still being debated....
The Saddam statue was placed at Fort Hood. Fort Hood everyone knows is the place where the American military would later be assassinated by one of their own at the prompting of a treasoned cleric.
Don't tell me for one minute the national media didn't suspect the same impetus to the Iraq War that many of us already knew. There was collusion between the White House, the Cheney Energy Committee and the petroleum industry. In that report to the nation, the entire Middle East was coveted as a source to the USA's fuel needs.
These testimonies were dominated by corruption beginning with the fact the petroleum companies' executives never had to swear an oath before their answers to Congress.
Don't even try it. The second day the USA illegally invaded Iraq there were already USA deaths and deaths of Iraqi citizens and the petroleum industry was on the oil fields.
Halliburton has never had a problem in the market since that invasion and Cheney was never prosecuted for his violations of stockholder losses during the time he was CEO. As long as he could turn the corner for the company, SOME HOW, ANY WAY, JUST FIND A WAY, his hinny would be safe; not to mention increasing his personal wealth.
The Iraq statue pulled down in the Firdaus Square, Baghdad was melted down, sculpted by an Iraq artist, paid for by USA monies, into a memorial at Fort Hood of the soldiers that died in the oil war. This is where the Saddam stutate lies. That is nothing short of demented.
Now.
About that doctrine of overwhelming force. The military power the USA has in the world is oppressing peace and endangering the national security it claims to protect.
Today, the USA has more problems with nuclear proliferation in the world, more fear of a nuclear war and seeks to park aggressively it's Star War missiles all over the world.
The interceptor missiles, in order for them to be effective in achieving peace, has to be deployed everywhere including with the USA's arch enemies; as if there really are any.
That's right. That is the legacy of the Republican Party. They created the USA industrial complex. Promoted Atoms for Peace. Endangered the entire world, including their own people, with the threat of nuclear war, Cheney programmed the USA post Iraq invasion for a so called "Limited Nuclear War;" (Hey, there were a lot of Japanese that survived and had only superficial wounds.) and then Reagan deployed Star Wars to defeat nuclear weapons thinking it would nullify any nuclear threat. What Star Wars actually did is escalate the threat of nuclear proliferation and war.
When will power and money, including the death of American soldiers, stop being THE TOY of the GOP?
When?
Iraq wasn't enough?
We don't belong in Iraq.
We never did.
