For sure more than 3000 people died, but this was the work of the REAL AXIS OF EVIL -Illuminatti and Co.-

I’m a too much too crazy and paranoid? Well, perhaps, but after studing the subject as much as I did, I still don’t get most of the things we’re told about this.

Do yourselves a favor and watch “The Great Illusion” and then we’ll talk again.

The USS Cole bombing would have prompted a bigger response if it hadn’t come
in the middle of an election cycle – Clinton held off as courtesy to not politicize it
less than a month before the election. Hard to imagine Bush’s team acting as responsibly.

Attacking Afghanistan over Al Qaeda seems warranted. Bogging ourselves down there
for the next 8 years after mission was accomplished seems insane. Even with Iraq I’m
slightly forgiving – sometimes in pool when shots are too few, you just have to break
up the field, lovingly called “the buckshot”, whether right or wrong. Doing that without
having any plans in place for containment is again insane. Continuing to create dragons
out of mosquitoes, especially by placing ourselves right in front of those mosquitoes,
is again insane. We neutralized Qaddafi. We neutralized Milosevic. We promoted the
Orange Revolution. We know there are less self-defeating ways to pursue tough policy
goals, but we chose to ignore these and go in for jingoist immature cowboy policy out
of some strange insecurity. Don Quixote may have tilted at windmills, but at least he
didn’t build the windmills himself.

Al Qaeda/Osama bin Laden was and is a tiny problem. A problem worth dealing with,
but still a tiny problem. Pulling out a bazooka to kill a mosquito will cause a lot of other
problems not very much related to the mosquito. More flyswatters please.

Paul Fitzgerald and Elizabeth Gould talked about their book Invisible
History: Afghanistan’s Untold Story (City Lights Publishers; January 1,
2009) with Back Pages Books store owner Alex Green, and they responded to
audience members’ question. Their history of Afghanistan includes their own
first-hand accounts of the U.S. government’s involvement there in the late
1970s and 1980s. Paul Fitzgerald and Elizabeth Gould, a husband and wife
team, first began reporting on Afghanistan for CBS News in 1981 and have
also covered Afghanistan for “Nightline” and the “MacNeil/Lehrer News Hour.”
They are also the producers of the PBS documentary Afghanistan: Between
Three Worlds.

Barack Obama, winner of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize, is planning another war to add to his impressive record. In Afghanistan, his agents routinely extinguish wedding parties, farmers and construction workers with weapons such as the innovative Hellfire missile, which sucks the air out of your lungs.

Sorry, Martin, but you’re wrong again. If they really wanted the occupation to end, they could have succeeded like 3 or 4 years ago, simply by not blowing people. Don’t have the slightest doubt about this. The reason why the occupation is still ongoing is because safety from the bastards is needed. Plus, I object to your equation “Freedom fighters” = “Guys who want an occupation to end”, because those fighters may want to substitute the situation for a lack of freedom. I think it’s undisputable that a/ those guys are not fighting for people to be freer, in the western sense, b/ people in Iraq and Afghanistan are freer than anyone else in the middle east –excl Israel–. They’re less safe, and that’s a concern. But what they are not is less free.
