On Saturday, April 30, 2011, the United States assassinated Muammar Gaddafi’s youngest son, Saif Al-Arab Gaddafi, along with three of Muammar Gaddafi’s grandchildren, and on Sunday, May 1, 2011, we likewise assassinated Osama bin Laden and one of his sons, along with an unidentified woman. All of them were apparently assassinated by American or NATO soldiers, and none of them was anywhere near a battlefield.
“Justice has been done,” said the clown Obama. Was he talking about the three young children we assassinated in Libya, like tens of thousands of others in Afghanistan, or the unidentified woman in Pakistan, like hundreds of thousands of others in Iraq?
“Justice has been done,” said the clown Obama, “Bradley Manning broke the law,” said the clown Obama, “Hope and Change,” said the clown Obama…
And so it goes.

or can we kiss our social programs goodbye and no, we don’t get jobs and get ready to make sacrifices?
How much money did we give Pakistan anyway? And how much of it went to their people, not the military ruling class?
I am going on news blackout – I can’t bear the thought of the roses strewn at the feet of the big O.
Yeah – I don’t believe it – as much as I believed Weapons of Mass.
On the other hand, maybe we can slip in a canonization of the big O with the Pope’s going on in Rome.
If it is true – we’re in for a world of hurt from our newly masculanized president/admin and any number of angry brown people. Elections coming up!
All of this just on the heels of Obama’s changes, naming General Petraeus to the helm of the CIA and Leon Panetta to now be the Secretary of Defense. Gen. David Petraeus . . . and just a couple of days later . . . !
Meantime, please sign Robert Greenwald’s Petition to demand we leave Afghanistan now!

Leave Afghanistan “with honor” — well, yeh, the face of commonality. Truth is, there is, was, never will be any honor whatsoever for what we have done in Afghanistan, all in the namesake of having sought after OSL — utter BS. They had him at Bora Bora years ago and let him go — he was visited in Dubai, while in the hospital for kidney problems, early in the Bush Adm., by a CIA operative, obviously, to say, “gee, OSL, we’re sorry you’re not feeling well.”
Indeed, budget problems — duh!
There was never any real intent to capture OSL from the get-go. Afghanistan was on the “map,” so to speak of the neocons’ goals. The Caspian Sea is loaded with oil and natural gas, to say nothing of Afghanistan’s natural minerals, ore, gold, uranium, you just name it — they’re sleeping on it. We went there and are still there with the purposes of capturing a building of natural pipelines to Afghanistan, while vying against China’s wish to do so. Even while funding the Taliban and the Afghans, simultaneously (does that ring a bell?), we have been unsuccessful in that mission. We HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL in killing many, many civilians, similar to our operations in Iraq, which have literally destroyed that country.
One of the most important articles you could ever read, banger, is this one: From Afghanistan to Iraq: Connecting the Dots with Oil
Note here that 9/11 is not specifically listed by the FBI:
OSL and never has been.
As we all know, the bin Ladens and the Bushies were a “tight-knit group” and had been for a long, long time. Since the PNAC had Iraq on its radar since 1992, or, perhaps, earlier, I’ve always wondered if the whole 9/11 episode was not some kind of “deal” between the bin Ladens and the Bushies. Sorta’ like, “O.K., we’ll send in drones to the WTC buildings or some such, OSL will take the blame and we’ll protect him to the limits — jet him family out of the country, etc. Meantime, Ergo, an “excuse” to attack Afghanistan, while Iraq was the focus! Why? Saddam Hussein wanted change of the monetary system — yeh, like, maybe, the dollar shouldn’t be the “gawd.” John Perkins, is an authority and everyone should read his book “I Was an Economic Hitman.” (Libya is just a kinda’ “echo” of Iraq.) (I will try to go into more at some point — cannot at present.)
Without wishing to create a stir within anyone of us, and, OSL, irrespective of 9/11, has certainly done some terrorist stuff (offshore): 1) We have aggressed and deprived, caused so much unbelievable death, poverty to so many nations, it is hard to fathom; 2) that some county, person, or anyone should want to strike back at us for OUR wanton behavior, for me, is totally understandable and acceptable.
I have been and still remain somewhat convinced that (with the scenario played out by the Saudis and the bin Ladens) that 9/11 was “inside.” (I’m having terrible Internet problems, but keep trying, so, forgive if this is not as “connected” as it should be.) I cannot, for the moment, access the site, but Bush’s cousin/nephew, whatever, was in charge of the security in WTC, through his company. About a week or two prior to 9/11, all managers, in all companies, were advised that there would be a “power” shutdown on that weekend — supposedly, for upgrades. A Rodriquez guy and others have been “gagged” every since for having heard “explosions” in the basement of the WCT towers. Building 7 was NOT hit by an airplane, etc. The buildings went down like “sand castles” — you know, the ones we build as children. The buildings were, in finality, detonated period!
While this event probably satisfies the appetites of so many Americans, I can’t say that I can share that delight, but it is, politically, a most positive result!
