I'll take a shot because I love your posts too Jinkster. I would have to sum it all up in two thoughts. One is that there is no money to be made in going into Afghanistan in chasing Bin Laden from cave to cave whereas in going to Iraq and hunting for WMD and suspected terror cells that were being kept and supported by Saddam allows us to free the oppressed Iraqi's while lining our pockets with oil money.
A good website to check out is
http://www.almartinraw.com/ I heard this guy one night on a talk show and he was talking all about hidden conspiracies behind 911. He has written a book about 911 as goes as far as talking about a plane not even hitting the pentagon and the fact that the pentagon was running a terrorist threat wargame on 911 prior to the attack which was similar to what actually occurred. As the actual events unfolded the responders didn't know what was real and what was a simulated event. There is even talk that 911 was allowed to happen just like accusations have been made about Pearl Harbor being allowed to happen in order to get us involved in WWII. Very interesting and supposedly he has been given a ton of information from many sources when it came to 911. His book gets released later this fall. He is always on radio stations talking about 911, UFO's, or the Kennedy assassination.
I think this whole Iraq thing boils down to money just like most things the U.S. does anymore. If there is money to be made we are there and if no money to be made we can't help that nation. Private companies like Haliburton and Wolf Security are raking in Billions with a "B" while Americas sons and daughters are making the ultimate sacrifice. I think it is pathetic that we have "legal" Americans going hungry and living on the street in America and do nothing but will send our socially poor children around the world to die for corporate profits and greed. It is sad. Just my thoughts on the subject...
