9/11 + 5 = 0 - September 2006
It’s a sad equation, but apparently true. Five years after the horrific tragedy of 9/11, what has really changed to improve America’s safety and security? If the experts who deal with questions like this are to be believed, not much. When measured in terms of the safety of the American people, 9/11 + 5 years really does seem to equal zero. Read more.

George Bush Was Right, There's Peace in the Middle East! - July 2006
Well I’ll be darned, George W. Bush was right after all. I remember when he and the neocons were hell-bent on invading Iraq and he stated that overthrowing Saddam Hussein would spread peace throughout the Middle East. At the time I thought he was crazy, I didn’t understand how starting another war would spread peace in a region with such a long history of conflict, but now I see the light! Read more.

Iraqi Leaders Call for Withdrawal Timetable - November 2005
Iraqi Shiite, Kurd, and Sunni leaders have called for a timetable for the withdrawal of US troops. Let’s see, I seem to remember someone who has been adamantly against a timetable, who was it, think, think … oh yes, it was George W. Bush. In fact he’s said several times that there will be no timetable for withdrawal. He’s also said that Iraq is sovereign and US troops are there because the Iraqi government wants them there. So what happens when the Iraqi government says it no longer wants US troops in their country and tells Bush to develop a timetable for withdrawal? Read more.

The Iraq Deception - How U.S. Fell Under the Spell of Curveball - November 2005
It looks like Bush’s great Iraq deception is finally starting to unravel, and people are actually starting to notice. (Question: Why do the majority of Americans seem to require a national disaster, like the wasting of hundreds of billions of dollars and tens of thousands of lives, before they wake up and pay attention to what their leaders are doing? Do you folks think you could do me a favor and work on improving that? I’d really appreciate it, as would our children, all our men and women in uniform, and their families. Remember, it’s your choice. All the debt, destruction, and death are purely optional. Pay attention, the life you save just might be yours.) But I digress. The LA Times has published an excellent article about the lying (that’s “intelligence providing” in Bushspeak) Iraqi defector called Curveball. Read more.

Plame, Iraq, and More - October 2005
There are signs that the Bush administration might actually be held accountable for some of their actions. It’s a shocking concept, I know. We’ve gotten used to them getting away with anything and now “responsibility” suddenly shows up out of nowhere, like an alien that fell into a black hole in another universe and unexpectedly popped out in ours. First there was Tom DeLay and now Lewis (Scooter/neocon) Libby. With the Bush administration in power I know it’s a long shot, but I’m hoping that the Valerie Plame leak investigation that special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald has started will spawn a thorough inquiry into the administration’s actions in attacking Afghanistan and Iraq. There is now abundant proof that the administration blatantly lied to the American people and the world about their reasons for attacking both Afghanistan and Iraq, and they should be held accountable.

For years we’ve known about the oil pipeline that the Bush administration wanted to build through Afghanistan and Pakistan. Now we know about the administration’s meetings in mid-2001 (months before the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center) with the Taliban and members of Pakistan’s ISI (Pakistan’s secret service) where the Taliban were told that if they didn’t allow the pipeline to be built through Afghanistan, bombs would fall on them before the snow, by mid-October at the latest. Bush made good on that threat, invading Afghanistan on October 7.

We also know about how neocons in the Bush administration were disappointed that Saddam Hussein was left in power at the end of the 1991 Gulf War and have continuously pressed to remove him, by military means if necessary. We know about how they pushed for the US to use force to secure strategic natural resources, like Middle Eastern oil. We know that Dick Cheney and representatives from major oil companies (the “Cheney energy task force”) met in March of 2001 (six months before the 9/11 attacks) and reviewed maps of Iraq’s oil fields and a list of potential buyers of Iraqi oil. We know about how Donald Rumsfeld and other neocons created the Office of Special Plans in the Pentagon to generate intelligence to support their plan for invading Iraq, intelligence which turned out to be false.

The list goes on, and on, and on. I have barely scratched the surface. The American people deserve to know the truth, and justice should be done. I hope it is.

“Dead Wrong” Intelligence, Wrongly Dead Victims - April 2005
A presidential commission has concluded that US intelligence on Iraq’s weapons was “dead wrong.” That means that over 1,500 American troops and tens of thousands of Iraqis (perhaps more than 100,000 by some estimates) are wrongly dead. Anyone who paid attention to how the Bush administration produced and used key intelligence in the months before the war had good reason to believe that the intelligence was wrong before the war even started, but it just didn’t matter. Worse yet, it could happen again. Read more.

Welcome to the "New America Century"

Project for the New American Century
The PNAC is a right-wing neoconservative think tank that's bent on militarily dominating the world and controlling Middle Eastern oil. Now they permeate the Pentagon and control Bush administration foreign policy.

The "New Pearl Harbor"
The 9/11 attacks were the "new Pearl Harbor" that the PNAC said they needed to convince the American people to attack Iraq, overthrow their government, privatize their oil industry, and establish at least a dozen permanent US military bases on Iraqi soil. There's plenty of evidence that they knew the 9/11 attack was coming but they did nothing, and afterward called the attack "a gift" because they knew they would be able to use the 9/11 attacks to convince the American people (and hopefully the rest of the world) that Iraq was a threat and Saddam needed to be overthrown. They created the "Office of Special Plans" in the Pentagon and went to work developing the bogus WMD "intelligence" that was used to justify the war.

Iraq is Just the First Step
The neoconservatives' plan calls for overthrowing six or seven oil-rich Middle Eastern countries, with Iraq, Iran, and Syria the first targets. Their goal is to create a "New Middle East" controlled by the US, Israel, and Saudi Arabia.

There's Much, Much More

The Evidence is Overwhelming
Watch this space for the complete truth behind the Iraq war, the neocon's full agenda, and how it's putting America in more danger than ever before.

Much more to come soon!
