Comments for Was Iraq War a `Blunder' or Was It Treason? at http://www.pacificfreepress.com , comment 1 to 5 out of 5 comments http://www.pacificfreepress.com Tue, 02 Dec 2008 14:58:25 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://www.pacificfreepress.com/news/1/750-was-iraq-war-a-blunder-or-was-it-treason.html#comment-880 The war had nothing to do with self defense, and everything to do with defense spending. The war had nothing to do with controlling oil and everything to do with manipulating the oil market and attaching a war risk premium to the price of oil. The Iraq way had nothing to do with retaliation for 911 and everything to do with diverting the discussion away from the facts of 911. As cabinet level ex Bush administration officials have said, and I quote, ".. they [the neocons] blew the towers to smitherines.". Who blew WTC 7? Lets not limit our investigations of crimes to Iraq - lets go back to 911 - that was a crime where 3000 Americans paid with their lives so those liable for the "too" big and under "leased" WTC towers would not have to pay 15 Billion dollars to destroy them (condemened several years ago for asbestos). In the WTC7, before it burned, were case documents related to the loss of 2 Trillion dollars by the DoD. How convenient. - a guest Mon, 22 Jan 2007 07:37:02 +0100 http://www.pacificfreepress.com/news/1/750-was-iraq-war-a-blunder-or-was-it-treason.html#comment-866 >:( You're right. It is obvious that there will be a Gulf-of-Tonkin incident within the next couple weeks. The American public must be alerted to this and urged to respond to it in a positive way. It must be anticipated by the vast majority of Americans. :'( - a guest Sun, 21 Jan 2007 22:07:02 +0100 http://www.pacificfreepress.com/news/1/750-was-iraq-war-a-blunder-or-was-it-treason.html#comment-864 There is no doubt in my mind that you're on the right track... ... and none of this would have been possible without the attacks of 9/11 ... ... which is why they did 9/11 more treason. - a guest Sun, 21 Jan 2007 20:20:22 +0100 http://www.pacificfreepress.com/news/1/750-was-iraq-war-a-blunder-or-was-it-treason.html#comment-847 Not a bad effort, but the long war idea of the Busheviks and PNAC is to keep the defense industry dependent (military Keynsianism) economy going through continuous war. Thus should the Iraq War peter out, another will be needed to replace it. This is the purpose of creating a Muslim enemy to replace the communist enemy. The latter also has the advantage justifying war in resource rich countries where American corporations can benefit, and non-favored, non-American corporations can be excluded. In this sense, control of the resources is paramount. The other point is to undermine the constitution and democracy at home. All administrations since Carter have engaged in this, but the big push has come with this Bush administration. This attack on the constitution and democracy is treasonous. But it supported by both parties, as both expect to benefit from it - a guest Sun, 21 Jan 2007 13:45:16 +0100 http://www.pacificfreepress.com/news/1/750-was-iraq-war-a-blunder-or-was-it-treason.html#comment-846 is clearly untenable. The only way they can win an honest debate on the merits of their position is to have no debate. None of them are talking about Ted Kennedy's sensible proposal to revoke the authorization for the use of force. They claim they're afraid they'll be accused of not supporting the troops in Iraq. And in fact they WILL be accused of refusing to support the troops in Iraq. But that accusation couldn't stick if they bring the troops home at once. Democrats could then say: "Yes, we're refusing to support the troops in Iraq any longer. We're going to bring them home and support them here." Congress has the power. The only rational excuses they can muster for failing to use their power are cowardice and corruption. Nothing else makes any sense whatever. - a guest Sun, 21 Jan 2007 13:33:30 +0100
