  1. In response to the 9/11 attacks on the US, the Republican Bush Administration invaded Iraq, removed the Sunni military leader of Iraq, Saddam Hussein – who had nothing whatsoever to do with the 9/11 attacks as the UBL masterminds of 9/11 were in Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan. The US took possession of the country. The US chose the new leaders of Iraq – Shiite men who were living in IRAN, in the protective exile of the government of IRAN, in fact.

    The Republican Bush/Cheney team removed Sunni military leader Saddam Hussein in spite of clearly saying and believing that doing so would create mass chaos in the entire Middle East. This is Dick Cheney, directly commenting on the consequences of removing Saddam Hussein from leadership of Iraq:

    “FROM C-SPAN:
    [Question:] Do you think the U.S., or U.N. forces, should have moved into Baghdad and remove Hussein?

    [Dick Cheney Answer:] No.

    [Question:] Why not?

    [Dick Cheney Answer:] Because if we’d gone to Baghdad we would have been all alone. There wouldn’t have been anybody else with us. There would have had to be a U.S. occupation of Iraq. None of the Arab Middle Eastern forces that were willing to fight with us in Kuwait were willing to invade Iraq.

    Once you got to Iraq and took it over, took down Saddam Hussein’s government, then what are you going to put in its place? That’s a very volatile part of the world, and if you take down the central government of Iraq, you could very easily end up seeing pieces of Iraq fly off: part of it, the Syrians would like to have to the west, part of it — eastern Iraq — the Iranians would like to claim, they fought over it for eight years.

    In the north, you’ve got the Kurds, and if the Kurds spin loose and join with the Kurds in Turkey, then you threaten the territorial integrity of Turkey.

    “It’s a quagmire if you go that far and try to take over Iraq.”

    The answers to the problems we confront today will not come from those who created them.

  2. Impressive photographs of muslim splat in mecca on 9/11. A little revenge from the Lord: He said it was His.

  3. For those who may have noticed my abscence, i have been fighting off the affects of Rocket Mountain Spotted Fever. My delirium may have been a better reality than the present reality. Anyway, I nearly logged off for the last time and I have at least a couple weeks of recovery. Mostly, bless you my friends.
