I think Missler may be reading more into this than he needs to. If the United States if fulfilling some prophecy in regard to our presence in Iraq, then I think it is silly to presume that there are any sinister motives involved by our government. If this is the will of God (as it would be if this is a fulfillment of prophecy) then the motives of the players are irrelevant. The only motive that would matter would be the motive of God in setting these events into motion.
If this is prophecy fulfillment, then whether or not Bush is trying to do something wonderful or sinister, the course of events is being directed by God, so our involvment in Iraq was going to take place whether it was because of a search for WMD's or an attempt to control the oil of the world. I would be more than willing to give Bush and company the benefit of the doubt. If we wanted to control all of the oil in the Middle East, all we had to do back in 1990 was to put out the oil fires in Kuwait and tell the Kuwaitis to pound sand. We didn't. We bailed them out and fixed their wells and allowed them to sell us their oil at market prices.
It's this kind of thing from guys like Missler that really trouble me. He should know better. He has bought into the a conspiracy theory on the flimsiest of reasons.
Who says the US will flop if the Euro supplants the dollar?
How does a trade deficit bankrupt a nation? Where do all those European oil companies get oil if the US won't let them have any, and Europe doesn't have any? How do they stay in business?
The whole thing is ignorant.
And it ignores the most obvious fact of all.....and for this I have to question Missler's motives.
What about the murder of 3000 Americans on 9/11? Was that a figment of my imagination? Is Missler going the route of Moore who had to conclude that America was responsible for that, too, as part of some great conspiracy?
Isn't there someone someplace who can tell that we attacked Japan after Pearl Harbor because of the attack at Pearl Harbor?
If so, shouldn't it make sense that we attacked world terrorists and their supporters after 9/11?
Missler needs to take a vacation and get his head back on straight.
