It will be hard not to forget Bush.

"George W. Bush is destined for oblivion. He will be forgotten faster than Millard Fillmore." - John McLaughlin

January 9, 2008 Bush met with the president of Turkey on the 10th he was in Israel. The connection is the Turkey Israeli pipelines, the real purpose of the recent middle east peace summit . The actual story are the proposed oil pipelines that will be built down the coast from Turkey to Israel. Condi Rice is trying to broker this deal. BP oil, US oil interests and the Saudis all have a stake in that pipeline. Domonique Strauss- Khan managing director of the International Monetary Fund and Robert Zoellick president of the World Bank were in attendance. Big money won''t finance the venture without stability in the region.
In the Daily telegraph, July 22, 2007 Condoleeza Rice stated her main objective in the middle east was not to push a ceasefire in Lebanon, but to cause an isolation of Syria and Iran. The strategic objective is all tied to oil and oil pipelines. In April of 2007 Israel & Turkey made their announcement which included four pipelines which will bypass Syria & Lebanon. The source of the oil is the BTC pipeline from the Caspian Sea Region. Shareholders in the BTC pipeline are: British Petroleum, AzBTC, Chevron, Statoil, TPAO, ENI, Total, Itochu, INPEX, Conoco-Phillips & Amerada Hess. Another very important factor on the war with Lebanon is that Israel will have a strategic role in protecting the pipeline and transportation corridor out of Ceyhan Turkey. The strategy will weaken Russian oils role in central asia and also isolate Iran.

The Bush administration is trying to stop a new Natural gas deal between Iran and Italy. Next to Russia Iran has the second largest supply of natural gas. The new pipeline will move several billion cubic feet per day across Turkey and then either Greece or Albania. The gas export to Europe is being strongly opposed by Bush & Cheney as it does''nt fit in with their master energy plans.

February 12, 1998 John J. Maresca vp of UNOCAL oil appeared before a House sub committee. The purpose of the meeting was to gain support for exploitation of oil & natural gas resources in the Caspian Sea area. In his testimony he stated, "The key question is how the energy resources of Central Asia can be made available to nearby Asian markets ". The exploitation option stated : "One obvious route south would cross Iran, but this is foreclosed by American companies because of U.S. sanctions (with Iran ) . The only other possible route is across Afghanistan, which of course has it''s own unique challenges. " He continued saying, " the pipeline we have proposed across Afghanistan could not begin until a recognized government is in place that has the confidence of governments,lenders (world monitary fund & world bank ) ,and our company "......" UNOCAL and other American companies are prepared to undertake the job ".

The Times of India August 2007 reported : " Iran, Iraq signed an agreement to build pipelines for the transfer of Iraqi crude oil and oil products." Under the deal crude will be refined and sent back to Iraq. Bush opposes this agreement and wants the Iraqi Parliment to accept and sign a U.S. designed oil law that would result in huge profits for BIG OIL. Iraqi oil workers and 63% of Iraqis polled are opposed to the Bush law and prefer a hands off Iraq oil policy. Taking out Saddam helped BIG OIL drive the prices up. A few months before the invasion, gasoline was 89 cents a gallon. Iraq''''''''s oil infrastructure was rebuilt when Cheney controlled Haliburton. Halliburton/Iraq deal was done through the French because it was illegal for US companies to deal with Iraq, except for the oil for food program which US oil companies participated in.
Saddam actually lowered the world price of oil by selling it cheaper to Russia, China, France, Germany and South Korea before the invasion. He created an advantage against US & British oil by charging them more for oil than these countries increasing competition. US oil companies then got subsidies from the congress.

A marine? Right. Throw out the questionable credibility. Don''t think I called you were a liar (where did that come from?), until now. Just don''t buy the Marine statement. You would have thrown that out a lot earlier if true. But speaking of creds, I am an emergency responder for WMD, NBC and other hazardous emergencies. My training, mostly courtesy of the US government, included the instructors'' own questioning of WMD used as an excuse to invade Iraq. But, once again, keep up the blah, blah, blah.

[taddles-2009]

blameamerica, if you are actually a former Marine then you''re a disgrace to the uniform.

[blameamerica]

Lefty lives in a fantasy world in his fantasy world he implies that I scampered out of harms way like a little rodent when the light comes on when it comes to the war on terror. Yawn.... So I suppose now is the part where I explain that I am a Marine now as always he turns it around to say I''m lying and his daddy was and is bigger than my daddy blah blah blah blah....

pfd572 who''s house of cards fell when he demonstrated his ignorance regarding health care, working conditions and above all civil rights utters some *** I stopped listening to. It''s up to him to double check his understanding I cannot make him.

I''m outa here so you all can make up some alternate reality about WMD''s and Bush and neocons and the illuminati.

blameamerca? blamebush! Before you roll out that old story about President Clinton cheating on his wife, which was indefensible, (and what you and yours like to do as a desperate measure when the facts are against you) he didn''t send 4000 plus men and women to their death for his ego and financial gain. He didn''t send the economy crashing (just the opposite), he didn''t suspend the Constitutional rights of citizens, he didn''t make us the enemy of the world, he didn''t ignore the needs of children and veterans, his administration didn''t "out" a CIA agent because they wanted payback for hurt feelings, he didn''t destroy documents and recordings that may show illegal activities (that is a Republican strategy - Nixon), he did lie about a PERSONAL matter which was wrong, but he didn''t lie or act that the law didn''t apply to him on actions that DO effect us (another Republican SOP)and that cost lives and freedoms, lots more but you know the rest. I am neither Democrat or Republican. I am a citizen that will do whatever I can to stop the madness and the destruction of our (and, yes, even your) rights. But, hey, you are funny in a sad, scary, pathetic way.

Don''t forget Bush. The poster boy for avoiding military service in a war zone. His military service? Don''t make me laugh.
