Comments on: Bush's War On Terror Shifting Targets

Officials Say Pakistan, And Again, Afghanistan At Center OF Fight Against Militancy

[clestes-2009]

I been saying this since last fall. Afghanistan is in trouble. The Taliban have been resurging since 2006 and now they are almost back to their old strength.

In the mountains between Pakistan and Afghanistan there are 7 tribal states, where the only law is tribal law. al-quida and taliban move from one area to another under the protection of these tribal leaders.

Back in 2001 when the US had the taliban and al-quida both on the run and Osama Ben Forgotten (I LOVE that, wish I had thought of it) was in Tora Bora, was the time to really go after al-quida and the Taliban to deal them a potentially mortal blow.

Pulling US troops out and leaving the tribes to mop up was a mistake that has gotten worse ever since then.

Bushco, in their supreme arrogance and blinded vision of the "New American Century" where America stood supreme over all other countries, made a HUGE, CATOSTROPHIC mistake. They paid the tribes money and told them to go in kill the remaining fighters.

I cannot believe that no one told them of the close connection between the tribes and the taliban or al-quida. I doubt they would have listened, but still someone must have said something!!

In 2007 Condoleeza Rice in a meeting with President Musharaf of Pakistan said the administration was not happy with the progress being made on their end of the Caspian Sea Pipeline. Unkown to the administration at the time, Musharaf was talking to Iran & India.

January 24,2008 India announced a plan for a 2,775 km Iran-Pakistan-India gas pipeline. Union Petroleum Minister Murli Deora said, "Iranian ambassador spoke to me tuesday and they are very keen that the project takes shape as it is in the interest of all three countries ". Times of India

This is a new twist that does not fit Cheney''s energy policy for the Caspian Sea Oil & Gas pipelines headed for Pakistan to supply Asian markets.

Will Musharaf dump the USA''s Caspian Sea Pipeline now that he has Iran on line in this new deal? Or will he take both pipelines through Pakistan for Asian markets ?

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 purchsed by BIG OIL 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 ".

More than a year and half before 911 the CIA Special Activities Division was conducting operations in Afghanistan, trying to topple the Taliban regime for the Caspian Sea Oil & Gas Pipelines.

"The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him."
-- George W. Bush, Sept. 13, 2001

"I don''t know where (Bin Laden) is. You know, I just don''t spend that much time on him....I -- I''ll repeat what I said. I truly am not that concerned about him."
-- George W. Bush, March 13, 2002
6 MONTHS AFTER 9/11/01

I guess Osama is Bush''s favorite bogeyman?

No... you neocon pinheads don''t get it. Your days are numbered. Had you chosen a leader who was smarter than you rather than dummer than you, you might have pulled off your coup... but you chose a halfwit... Bush. Scream, cry, call us all nasty names, be bitter... your fate is sealed. You people are so clueless I''d bet you''d be just thrilled if Bush, for whatever reason, declared martial law and cancelled the November elections. You''d be in your glory, goose stepping all the way... and a traitor to your country.

BUT, we know Bush never intended to go after Bin Laden, his partner in crime!

[liberalme]

Now, now McVet--

We must feel sorry for these people--they have been so intimidated and brainwashed by the Bush regime, they are scared to death!

He has them believing, he is the only one that can save them, that the terrorists are coming any minute--and all that stuff! Sorta like Koresh and his followers.

''Bush''s War On Terror Shifting Targets''

Once he attacked America on 9/11, he had to cover up the deed. On to Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan and Iraq - just like those PNAC traitors told him to do...

[mcvet]

That I oppose the lies spread by Bush haters does not mean I am for Bush - I am against the extreme damage done to this country BY the Bush haters and their lies.
Posted by ilikecats1

1--not a lie---Bush "misled" the world over 900 times.
Would "misled" be akin to a lie? Was the statement on the news a lie?

2--Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction-Bin Laden wasn''''t there--Sadam wasn''''t harboring terrorists. Lie?

3--How about the mistreatment of our troops at Walter Reid? Lie?

4--How about the thousands of deaths in Iraq caused by "misinformation--a lie?

You really should stop listening to the scare tacticts of the Bush regime--go on the internet--google anything you accuse the libs of lying about, then come back and call us liars again.
