This is your own spin on this, Timesink, and it has nothing to do with the facts.

I would say something in response, but TomB's total evisceration of your tinfoil claims beat me to it.

I admit, however, I got quite a chuckle from your attempt to link Clinton and Dubya together in a Unocal conspiracy. I must have missed an issue of the Council on Foreign Relations Weekly Newsletter.

I admit, however, I got quite a chuckle from your attempt to link Clinton and Dubya together in a Unocal conspiracy. I must have missed an issue of the Council on Foreign Relations Weekly Newsletter.

It wasn't in the newsletter, but if you would have been at the last secret meeting, they explained it all at that time. Your absence wouldn't have been so bad except it was your turn to bring the doughnuts! When Kissinger found out there weren't any, boy was he pissed! All he did was pout all night and mumble something about "this won't happen when I'M king".

Make sure it doesn't happen again.

But while we're discussing total fantasy, I find the idea of our government somehow involved in the 9/11 attack fascinating. If I follow the "logic" correctly, Bush is helping his oil buddies by ousting the Taliban and installing a "stable afghan government", an oxymoron if there ever was one. What guarantee do they have that the new government will be any more stable than the old?

Also, the tenuous argument has it that Bush's oil buddies need a "stable" Afghanistan in order to run a pipeline from the Central Asian countries to Pakistan to the coast, so that they have access to the oil.

So here we have it. Bush must find, instigate or create an incident that will allow him to invade Afghanistan. He must convince the Pakistani leaders (bribe) to completely reverse their standing policy and move against the Taliban. He must also negotiate deals with Uzbekistan and Tajikistan in order to use their countries as forward bases (this is in their oun interest, it should be rather easy). He must also, and this is the tricky part, negotiate some kind of deal with Putin, since this completely removes Russia as a player in the Central Asia oil deal. Vlad will NOT be happy with this. A:ong with all this, Bush has to hope the evidence he can manufacture is good enough to convince such well known war-mongering nations as France to contribute arms to the conflict. He must also give enough of the pie to each and every faction within Afghanistan to keep them quiet and not spill the beans.

Bush must accomplish all that for the single purpose of getting an oil pipeline from Central Asia to the Arabian Sea. Which brings up the question, if he can accomplish all that, why can't he just drop sanctions against Iran? If he does that the oil companies could start building a pipeline through Iran tomorrow, in a country with a rather stable, if somewhat maniacal, government, much better infrastructure, and immeasurably better terrain.
