Aww shit !! Another conspiracy by the man to keep everybody misinformed.

And to get them for $9.99. :(

A couple of others posted in this thread that they saw the episode live. So it exists. It ain't no conspiracy.

But yes, you're gonna have to fork over $9.99 to get an archived copy.

Well Hell....

It's 5:45pm here -

and I have gone all day without reading anything really stupid or someone's wacko conspiracy theories.

Oh Well.......

Another angle on what is getting to be the very old U.S. and Bush bashing, lies, bullshit and insane crap like this.

Get a hobby - go ride a bike - go bowling - ANYTHING but spreading this kind of nonsense around.

Besides - if the fucking joke was true - it would be a far more stable world than it is now. :1orglaugh

did you change sides ?

Ohhhhhh - "the dark and sinister truth" Ahhhhhhhh

Man... I think you believe way too much of what you read, see, and imagine.

the dark and sinister truth - That's just too fucking funny.....

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Do you realize that just reading that line set off an acid flashback and reminded me of the smell of teargas in the morning?

Great ceasar;s ghost - can't you kids even come up with orignal line for your war?

Yutes ...

What are you referring to exactly?

Niteline ran the episode in question. You can buy a copy direct from ABCnews.com

The episode was broacast on 3/5/2003 and the title was:

"Is a war with Iraq part of a U.S. secret plan for global domination?"

Several other people in this very thread indicated that they watched the episode in question.

The conclusion that Koppel drew was that there was a plan of sorts but he did not come down either way definitively.

None of us can really know how much of the conspiracy theory is true. Here's a bit of fact though:

When the plan to get into the middle east was drawn up, a spot was left saying that the USA needed a "new Pearl Harbor" to get the support of the people. That Pearl Harbor was 9/11. Do I think the USA had planned 9/11? No, not at all. Were they happy it happened? Yes, I definetly think so. They finally had their excuse to go back into the middle east. The "axis of evil" was clearly outlined in the plan and so far they seem to be sticking to their agenda.

So are there reasons for war? Sure, but there always are to some degree. Don't believe them when they say that it's for your protection. I'm sure most people would agree that North Korea is more of an immediate threat, but they don't have as much to gain from going to war with them as they do from the middle east.

huh? I've always supported the war with Iraq. What I don't tolerate are people who have bash people simply for having a different opinion. This is a free country and if somebody disagrees with our govt then it's their right.

I don't limit freedom of expression to only ideas I agree with. How fucking boring would it be if everyone agreed on everything. G-d bless our diversity of opinion. It's what makes America great.

Article about a study regarding position on the war and knowledge about the facts of the war:

http://www.sklar.com/texts/gulf-war-media

Here's the main conclusion:
"...our study revealed a direct correlation between knowledge and opposition to the war. The more people know, in other words, the less likely they were to support the war policy. The argument we are making here is not based on politics, but on statistics. We are not saying that people against the war are right and those in favor of it are wrong, merely that since our study shows a clear relation between between knowledge and opinion..."

I would rather fork over $2.99 to cum in your mom's eye.

A totally biased, mis-informative article, with an agenda. Garbage.

I could prove to you that shit flies. You start with a thesis then find as much supporting documentation as you can find. This is done all the time. For every medical study that says A causes B, there's two that refute it.

The fact is the toughline policy against Iraq was crafted by neocon intellectuals who all went to Harvard and Yale. They're hardly uninformed. They've spent literally years studying this issue.

If you know about the neocons, they became a force during the Reagan administration. Many of them came from the far left (in fact socialist left), but eventually saw the light and became the most hardcore proponents of a strong, cohesive strategy to eradicate communism. Unlike their predecessors who failed at eradicating communism, with Reagan they were triumphant.

Likewise, they contend that militant islamo-fascism, particularly Wahabism, is more insidious than communism and must be dealt with accordingly. That's their agenda!

Too funny. :thumbsup

"Secret Plan for US domination"

You better watch out or we'll all be speaking English soon! Errrrr ....
