Iraq is the world's number 2 oil country - the price of oil is at 20
year lows - as it was when we attacked them last time - if we keep their
oil off the world market the price stays up for us and our allies. ergo
- let our friends supply them with what it takes to make poison gas -
look the other way when they use it on Iran - presto changeo - ready
made demon, surely should attack him - kill his demon children - keep
his cheap oil off the market. (look at the chart of oil price since 14
Nov and see what it correclates with) - how  to deflect attention ? find
a chump in washington who has done something naughty and focus on that.
secondary benefit - - russia not bad enough to justify the level of
military spending we want - but a demon is. Query - how can anyone go to
movie like Truman and not see clearly the extent to which your take is
determined by what you are fed. There are bag ladies freezing in Los
Angeles, the US of A is supposedly a country that follows the will of
the people but it has a military draft, alcohol is clearly as dangerous
a drug as some of the street drugs but one is used at ceremonies at the
White House and the other gets demon underclass kids in jail, we love
peace and freedonm but supply arms to Mexico whose only use is to shoot
indians who dont want US farming companies there, we give arms to
Indonesia - source of slave labor for US factories. Wake up - !
