In recent months, it becomes increasingly difficult to "grasp the BIG PICTURE", with all of the lies, deceptions, and "spin" being issued by various government officials. With that in mind, I suggest the following: Think , for a moment, about Osama Bin Ladin's attack on the World Trade Centers. He DIDN'T choose Disneyland, the SuperBowl, Times Square, or various other "targets". He chose THE center of "capitalism" in America.... obviously intending to inflict "economic-damage" on America. Now, 4 years later, America is mired in an un-winable war. European citizens now consider AMERICA to be the "Most dangerous nation on earth". We continue to sacrifice our soldiers, our resources, and our money with very little "cost" to Al Queda. We have now "bankrupted" our economy, amassed astronomical debts, while Osama Bin Ladin continues to evade capture. It is now increasingly, and painfully obvious that the Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld "Cabal" have NO INTENTION of EVER "withdrawing" from Iraq. Previously "secret" documents from Cheney's "Energy-Policy-Meetings" have detailed how Oil companies strategically "mapped-out" the oil reserves, wells, refineries, and pipelines in Iraq..... WELL BEFORE the invasion!!! (Other details of these meetings have "conveniently" become "classified"!!) Is it any wonder why Cheney has fought so hard against disclosure of these meetings? It is now apparent that Cheney & oil-company insiders conspired to "divy-up" the Iraqi oil resources in anticipation of the upcoming invasion!!The "no-bid" construction of 14 Military bases and the LARGEST embassy in the world, are further proof that the corporate-crooks are waging war-for-oil, with NO intention of "re-deploying" ANY American troops. In light of the incompetant response to the "9-11" attacks, it seems now that Bin Ladin HAS WON!! America is hated, despised, and attacked by increasing numbers of militant "Jihadists" from increasing numbers of countries. Our economy is strained to "the breaking-point". Our foreign neighbors now treat us with contempt, distrust, and hatred. Is THIS how Bush is "winning the war on terror"??? Or is this EXACTLY what Bush wants??? Either answer is unacceptable.
