- What the new tape does mention is the BIG OIL connection. Binny is telling his friends in Iraq not to help the Americans rebuild a US backed unity government. By doing so they would be turning their backs on Islam & "It is meant to give the Americans all they wish of Iraq''''s oil," Bin Laden said.
Reuters UK December 30, 2007 Reports: "Bin Laden says U.S. seeks to exploit Iraqi Oil". OBL states: "America seeks, alongside it''''s agents in the region, to create an allied government...that would accept in advance the presence of major U.S. bases in Iraq and give the Americans all they wish of Iraqi Oil. - Reply to this comment
- On September 14,2002 Rep. James McDermott at a Capitol Hill Briefing said that politics and oil, not fear that Iraq will use WMD are driving factors behind the presidents call for regime change. McDermott said there was an organized effort to squelch such discussions. "The political operatives in the white house have been very careful to spin it away from oil. Anytime anybody sees a connection they spin it the other way".

- Twenty minutes into the 7 oclock news and no
mention or video of yesterday''s MASSIVE bombing.
Was it hype to shove the nine killed into the
background? Did they bomb empty lots?
Was it a real bombing and they didn''t want to
show evidence of dead citizens?
A MASSIVE BOMBING one day, highlighting our
weather news the very next day.
I say they bombed empty lots. - Reply to this comment
- "Has anyone considered that massive bombing could be used to produce good effects? ..."

Indeed they have.
Tyrants and fascists throughout history have always believed that the indiscriminate destruction of civilian populations was good.
Adolph Hitler was an especially fervent fan of it.
While our founding fathers, and Americans, have always felt it was evil.
I guess you just have to pick your side.

- Has anyone considered that massive bombing could be used to produce good effects?
During WWII, under the leadership of Arthur "Bomber" Harries, numerous German cities were carpet-bombed by the USAF and RAF and essentially razed out of existence by the firestorms that followed. Square-headed Nazis were sucked down into the melted tar of road surfaces and found dead in a congealed pool of their own melted bodyfat -- just what they deserved -- burnt in their own personal ovens.
Seriously, during the "World at War" series, Albert Speer, Hitler''s head of armaments production said that if the carpet-bombing had taken place in about half-a-dozen more German cities, the war would have been over because Germany wouldn''t have been able to continue supplying its troops.
However, Harries''s airplanes were diverted to the preparations for D-Day.
Just think about it!
If Bomber Harries could have continued what he was doing, we wouldn''t have needed to mount an invasion of Europe (we could have just walked in). Thousands of lives would have been saved and the Soviet advance might have halted about 1000 miles east of its eventual final position, leaving Eastern European countries free instead of falling under Communist domination. - Reply to this comment
- "Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that in glory and triumph they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of the dot on scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner of the dot. How frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity -- in all this vastness -- there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.

- "How much longer til we pull out of Iraq? 5 years? 10 years? 20 years? How much money have spent on the war in Iraq? Do most Americans even pay attention to what we''re doing in Iraq anymore? I think they''re just numb to it all now. Of course Presidential race is getting a lot of attention."

Numbness cannot erase the smell of burning flesh, but unfortunately none of the Candidates running for "President" have any intention of restoring our Constitution, the rule of law, or ending the war.
Even Obama is just one giant fluffy pillow, devoid of all substance.
