I didn’t realize that George Will and Bob Barr are on the left.

Indeed it’s clear that you “don’t get the logic” when you’re blabbering about control of the House while we’re talking about the rule of law. There’s a clear reason why you don’t get it — low intellectual capacity.

Bush has no intention of occupying Iran. Rather, the goal is to destroy major weapons-sites, destabilize the regime, and occupy a sliver of land on the Iraqi border that contains 90% of Iran’s oil wealth. Ultimately, Washington will aim to replace the Mullahs with American-friendly clients who can police their own people and fabricate the appearance of representative government. But, that will have to wait. For now, the administration must prevent the incipient Iran bourse (oil-exchange) from opening in March and precipitating a global sell-off of the debt-ridden dollar. There have many fine articles written about the proposed “euro-based” bourse and the devastating effects it will have on the greenback. The best of these are “Petrodollar Warfare: Oil, Iraq and the Future of the Dollar” by William R. Clark, and “The Proposed Oil Bourse” by Krassimir Petrov, Ph.D.

The Bush administration has no intention of allowing that to take place. In fact, as the tax-cuts and the budget deficits indicate, the Bush cabal fully intends to perpetuate the system that trades worthless dollars for valuable commodities, labor, and resources. As long as the oil market is married to the dollar, this system of global indentured servitude will continue.

Battle Plans

The Bush administration’s attention has shifted to a small province in southwestern Iran that is unknown to most Americans. Never the less, Khuzestan will become the next front in the war on terror and the lynchpin for prevailing in the global resource war. If the Bush administration can sweep into the region (under the pretext disarming Iran’s nuclear programs) and put Iran’s prodigious oil wealth under US control, the dream of monopolizing Middle East oil will have been achieved.

Not surprisingly, this was Saddam Hussein’s strategy in 1980 when he initiated hostilities against Iran in a war that would last for eight years. Saddam was an American client at the time, so it is likely that he got the green light for the invasion from the Reagan White House. Many of Reagan’s high-ranking officials currently serve in the Bush administration; notably Rumsfeld and Cheney.

Khuzestan represents 90% of Iran’s oil production. The control over these massive fields will force the oil-dependent nations of China, Japan and India to continue to stockpile greenbacks despite the currency’s dubious value. The annexing of Khuzestan will prevent Iran’s bourse from opening, thereby guaranteeing that the dollar will maintain its dominant position as the world’s reserve currency. As long as the dollar reigns supreme and western elites have their hands on the Middle East oil-spigot, the current system of exploitation through debt will continue into perpetuity. The administration can confidently prolong its colossal deficits without fear of a plummeting dollar. In fact, the American war-machine and all its various appendages, from Guantanamo to Abrams Tanks, are paid for by the myriad nations who willingly hold reserves of American currency.

This extortion-scheme is typically referred to as the global economic system. In reality, it has nothing to do with either free markets or capitalism. That is just philosophical mumbo-jumbo. It is the dollar-system; predicated entirely on the ongoing monopoly of the oil trade in dollars.

Indeed. Those whom lie often forget the lie they told and when questioned they dont remember it thus they spin, Blame, Deny or just refuse to Answer.

I don’t get the logic the left uses to describe the Bush administration. For about forty years until ‘94, they controlled the house and for a majority of those years they controlled the senate as well. While they did not control the white house, they certainty had their way with the supreme court. And that was not a monarchy because they ran things? Leftists in this country need to stop whining and do a self-evaluation as to why they are not winning. If you feel that things are so bad, just leave, but try to find a country with as much opportunity and freedoms. My guess is that you won’t find too many to choose from.

Well Randy you just Said it ‘Freedoms’
The Wiretaps, under Nixon were Illegal, and under Bush its likely the same story. And that is Freedoms. It isnt about winning or losing. Its not a football game. When “our” rights “our” freedoms suffer under byzantyine laws, “WE” are all affected.

AND would you PLEASE stop referring to ‘left’ and ‘right’ I am not either one. When people use this sort of BIAS group speak, it means nothing.
Its opinion. Just as Your whole Post is.

Am I right in my guess that you either watched it on VHS or as a television broadcast? The special edition DVD contains a couple of special features which actually discuss this parallel to some degree — especially when you consider the fact that some of the words which the author made up for his story were based on or taken directly from Arabic (such as his use of the word “jihad”).

Frank Herbert, the author of “Dune”, was apparently very environmentally-minded and politically-minded — and although there’s no direct evidence that he intended it to be prophetic or allegorical when he wrote it (it was published in the late 60’s, I believe), there *are* indeed some rather interesting parallels between the book and the War on Terror.

I feel sorry for you, brother. You’re lost. I don’t know if you really think you’re a Christian or not, but if you are, you’re going to have some ’splainin’ to do someday.

#20 you need to go back and look at the 200 election again. Prior to the election the prediction was that Bush would win popular and Gore the electoral. Per pre-election comments the republicans said they had hundreds of lawyers lined up to argue that if this situation occured Bush should be president and they were prepared to argue the case in court for months or years if necessary. Do the search dude, this is real.

Are you still alive? I thought you died in that shoot out in Arkansas?

Still can’t get over not being allowed to steal the election eh? HA! I laugh my ass off every time one of you sore losers claims that Bush stole the election. Yeah, he followed the law to steal it away from the legion of lawyers you asses sent to Florida. Hell, we’d still be counting hanging chads if we left it up to you.

It’s that simple.

You don’t own a clue or an original idea, that’s why you lose. Nobody trusts you. Nobody likes your homosexuals, feminists, anti-Semites,treason and French acting tards you run for office. The voting machines are the least of your problems.

That’s easy: we don’t cheat and we don’t play dirty.

Of course you do, it’s just that the Republicans have adopted your tactics thanks in large part to the Left Wing Jews you call neo-cons who have defected.

How about “unelected president”? Is that clearer, Randy? Everything else flows from that fact.

GOOD NEWS, Diebold is OUT here in our part of TN, probably the entire state!!! It is just too easy to rig and they refuse, yes refuse, to offer a paper trail. You should have seen these scumbags, you would be proud.

Thanks everyone who provided me info on this corrupt company.

Leftists in this country need to stop whining and do a self-evaluation as to why they are not winning

We already know the answer to thta question.

We don’t own Diebold.

It’s that simple.

Bush is clearly stepping over his Constitutional authority to (supposedly) protect the people. (For all we know, it’s a plain power grab, becasue there’s no oversight to speak of.) Bush has his priorities completely backward.

As for your point about the Dems being in power, well, the last time a president tried breaking political laws, it was the Democrats (along with many Republicans with integrity) that put him straight and saved the Republic. Unfortunately there are few persons of integrity inhabiting Congress right now. We, the People, have no protector from Bush.

How dare we not hold him accountable for not protecting the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. For calling into question his Executive Chiefdom powers to rewrite the body of our Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Should read…

Do you listen to your self???

Do you actually hear your words???

This Impeachment party we’re trying have here isn’t about overthrowing the Republicans or the RNC. It is about your Bill of Rights.

Pay attention to what your president is doing.

Pay attention to his requests of you.

Where in your education did you learn that the president is above the law? That he can summarily dismiss Congress’ constitutionally granted rights to be the sole creator of laws for the land? That he keep his secrets so as not to have to have them verified and checked?

I know, I know.
How dare we question our illustrious leader.
How dare we call into check his Unitary powers.
How dare we not hold him accountable for not protecting the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. For calling into question his Executive Chiefdom powers to rewrite the body of our Constitution and Bill of Rights.

How dare we!!!

or

How dare you.
Fascist bull poo-poo.
