Invasion of Iraq was Planned in year 2000
 

This is a long article so I will only paste a relevant paragraph here and give a link to the complete article. The article itself has links within it to mainstream news reports to back up its claims and placate those who think that only the mainstream media is credible:



"The document is entitled ?Rebuilding America?s Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources For a New Century? and was written for Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and Paul Wolfowitz. The participants of the project include Harvard University, John Hopkins University, the RAND Corporation and the Carnegie Corporation along with several military figures from the U.S. Naval War College. According to British Labour MP Tim Dalyell,

?This is a blueprint for US world domination -- a new world order of their making. These are the thought processes of fantasist Americans who want to control the world. I am appalled that a British Labour Prime Minister should have got into bed with a crew which has this moral standing.?

The report reads like a laundry list of imperial conquest. It calls for conquest of Iran, conquest of Syria, conquest of Libya, conquest of North Korea, militarization of space, ?regime change in China?, development of biological weapons to be used in war and a host of other colonial adventures which are summed up in their jargon as being ?simultaneous major theatre wars'.

The most interesting section of the report relates to Iraq. The report states,

?The United States has for decades sought to play a more permanent role in Gulf regional security. While the unresolved conflict with Iraq provides the immediate justification, the need for a substantial American force presence in the Gulf transcends the issue of the regime of Saddam Hussein.?

This is solid proof that the Bush administration?s real intention behind invading Iraq is to impose its own geopolitical primacy and has nothing to do with weapons of mass destruction or the moral removal of Saddam Hussein. The report was picked up by the Sunday Herald and a handful of other news outlets but for some strange reason has received no attention in the mainstream American press."





Middle Eastern Chessboard Part 2: The Invasion of Iraq

You have too much time on your hands......

At least be creative and come up with your own conspiracy theories.

It ain't no theory. You could always just read the actual report that was commissioned by Cheney himself n 2000. Here it is in black and white:


PNAC Report

Good -

and only a week or two more to go.....

:thumbsup

And here is another report from the Baker Institute for Public Policy that was commissioned by US Vice-President Dick Cheney in April 2001. This one says it all:


STRATEGIC ENERGY POLICY CHALLENGES

Conquest. You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

The meaning in the dictionary is pretty clear. I consider the dictionary definition of that word or any word to be the correct definition. And what the US will do in Iraq will end up being a bona-fide conquest. I think few will argue with that. There might be differences of opinion as to the neccessity of initiating this conquest but it will be a conquest in the end nonetheless.

What do you think we'll do there?

NEWSFLASH:

its been planned for years even longer

Indeed. But the above two commissioned reports at least give solid proof that it was planned at least as far back as 2000. There are other scattered government reports and government commissioned reports that puts the possible planning as far back as 1997 but those are a bit sketchy.

Give all the oil contracts to US and UK firms. Kick out all the oil companies from Europe and Asia. Install a puppet regime and then use the territory as a staging ground for future invasions of Saudi Arabia and Iran - that is, if WWIII does not break out first.

Question is what do you think we'll do there? It's already been stated that the Pentagon would pretty much be handling everything there if we won the war.

Well... I already answered that question just above but the main point of this thread was to point out that the upcoming war has nothing to do with weapons of mass destruction. From the government's own commissioned reports, the attack plan was formed at least as far back as 2000 and is specifically designed to grab energy resources and redraw the map of the middle east for empire-building (for lack of a better word).

The links to the actual reports are in the above posts. Even if you think the actual article that I link to in my first post is somehow biased - forget that article. Just read the actual government-commissioned reports - those tell the whole story.

I had General Tso's chicken the other night.

It was yummy.

Very yummy.

Actually, my favorite chinese food of all time was when I was in Hawaii. I was 13 years old.

We went to that really big open air mall in Honalulu (sp?). The restaurant was called Patty's Chinese Kitchen (I think).

Toasted Almond Duck. MMMmmmmmm....that was great.

Fuck about time!

Now maybe the price of gas will finally go down.

Do you know how much it costs for me to fill up my corvette - and my SUV - and my John Deer lawn car machine.
