Donald Rumsfeld -
Former SecDef Donald Rumsfeld is a war criminal - and a dumbass to boot. The smartest people in the world were giving advice to the administration. “Though the U.S. State Department had conducted a comprehensive study of the problems of occupying Iraq, its conclusions were ignored by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.” - Center for Strategic and International Studies.
Does the administration expect us to believe that they didn’t know disbanding the Iraqi army, and banning members of the Ba’ath Party from holding office or even working would create a ready-made, armed insurgency? Belonging to the Ba’ath Party was pretty much an obligation if one wished to hold a job in Saddam’s Iraq; Just like belonging to the Nazi Party in WWII Germany was required of all working citizens - even if they didn’t agree with the party’s belief system. Disbanding these two entities created an unemployment nightmare overnight, so that if one wanted to feed one’s family, joining the insurgency or militia was the only option. And with no security system to rely on, it was only a matter of time before 200 years worth of blood feuds between Sunni and Shia factions exploded into the bloodbath we are currently witnessing in Iraq.
Are we to believe that Rumsfeld didn’t know unguarded weapons depots would be inviting targets for terrorists, Sunni insurgents, and Shia militia looking to arm themselves? I’m sure the military told him of their concerns - they knew a civil war was coming; how could American war planners not know? They have unlimited resources at their disposal to plan for ANY contingency. They KNEW! In fact, they were counting on it! If the Iraqis were busy fighting each other, Rumsfeld and his minions reasoned, then they wouldn’t be fighting us. Unfortunately, it didn’t quite work out that way. The Shia, Sunni, AND foreign Arab terrorists all took their potshots at American and coalition forces in between their own sectarian battles. www.strategicstudiesinstitute.army.mi.
The Carlyle Group -
Since the start of the “War on Terror,” the Carlyle Group has been making cash hand-over-fist. Members include former SecState James Baker, former British Prime Minister John Major, Philippine Pres. Fidel Ramos, and of course former POTUS George Herbert Walker Bush. For more, click this link => http://www.correntewire.com/
The Carlyle Group is a global private equity firm with $75.6 billion under management committed to 55 funds. Carlyle invests in buyouts, venture & growth capital, real estate and leveraged finance in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America and South America focusing on aerospace & defense, automotive & transportation, consumer & retail, energy & power, financial services, health care, industrial, infrastructure, technology & business services and telecommunications & media.
Aerospace & Defense.
Auto & Transport - Keeping us dependent on Middle Eastern oil.
Consumer & Retail - Amassing Huge Databases w/RFID, tracking what we buy, and where we buy it.
Energy & Power - Record High Gas Prices & Profits.
Financial Services - Their banks hold our mortgages, and if we should default, the home reverts to them.
Industrial - Building Bombs, Missiles, Planes & Tanks.
Technology - 100% Targeting, and Spying technology, which is increasingly used to spy on US.
Telecom & Media - How Better to Spread Disinformation and Outright Lies?
And so The Carlyle Group has a finger in everybody’s pie; a piece of action right off the top. Isn’t there a law called RICO, and didn’t the government kneecap the Mob with it? Yes they did, for doing EXACTLY what this group of privileged politicos is doing every single day. The firm - unofficially valued at $13.5bn - has taken on an added significance. Carlyle has become the thread which indirectly links American military policy in Afghanistan to the personal financial fortunes of its celebrity employees, not least of whom is the current president’s father. Carlyle also provided another curious link to the Afghan crisis: among the firm’s multi-million-dollar investors were members of the family of Osama bin Laden.
Big Oil -
Big Oil, those who are sucking every penny they can out of our pockets, wanted the war in Iraq and the imminent war in Iran to destabilize and topple unfriendly governments (regime change) so they could maximize profits in the short term, and exert complete control over 2/3 of the world’s known oil reserves in the future. A future by the way where there is NO MORE OIL – and no oil profits. What will the Saudis do for cash when their only revenue source literally dries up - sell sand? They need to profit NOW, so they can stay in power after the oil fields die. And so George Walker Bush, the President who owns an oil company, and walks hand-in-hand with Princes of the House of Saud – the same men he is in private business with - just makes sure they do.
For now, manufacturing the ILLUSION of instability in the middle east, Big Oil can run up prices at the pump all day and get away with it. And with a sympathetic President running interference with Congress, insuring that there will be no windfall profits tax, these multi-national, global monstrosities have absolutely no incentive to back down on the price of gas at the pump.
At the same time, the administration is beating the war drums over Iran’s Nuclear ambitions. Granted, a nuclear armed terrorist state like Iran is an intolerable risk, but let’s not be naive like we were in the run-up to “Operation Iraqi Freedom” when we were fed the lies of WMD’s under Saddam’s control. Iran sits atop a lake of black gold measured in the TRILLIONS of barrels. This oil alone would keep the world running for another 50 years - and Big Oil wants a slice of that pie!
