Whatever you do, don’t mention the oil

Panic button!

Old friends.con?

So the Bush family called in one final favour from their old friend, Saddam Hussein, his seizure in the glare of cameras, adding some Yuletide trimmings to Dubbya’s flagging polls.

"OK Saddam, I know, we’ve asked a lot of you over the years, the whole Iran thing, invading Kuwait, playing along with the whole WMD charade, loosing a few palaces, but we just need one last little thing," Bush Snr intones on the phone to an underground bunker layer somewhere in Texas.

"Hey, but I was getting into the whole Texan way of life," grumbles Saddam, "I mean these guys here, they just love to kill people too."

In a paternal voice, Bush Snr promises to whisk the Iraqi exile back to his ranch after a couple of photo ops in Baghdad. "You’ll just have to be in a narrow tunnel for a couple of minutes before our boys’ll pick you up and then, in no time we’ll have you back here eating fried chicken, and ya know we’d be happy to throw in a few more millions. Oh yeah, we’ll even get you a free dental check — you are flossing, right, Saddam?"

Well, Saddam (pictured right with old friend) acquiesced, helping out the struggling American dynasty one last time. Just imagine what sort of juicy information could come out of a trial with ol’ Saddam — he could drop a dime on just about everybody.

Check out Ted Rall for the imaginary trial of the 21st century.

Revolutionary round up

• As we all know, the administration of oil execs — W, Condy, Dick et al- went to war because of WMDs. Oops, I mean Iraqis’ freedom. Er... regime change?! Well it’s not about the oil, anyway. Honest. So be sure to pay no attention to the pipeline being built across Kuwait to get oil out of the US colony of Iraq.

• Bad news for those who take what US right wing televangelist Pat Robertson says as Gospel: Robertson says Dubbya’s a sure win for the November election. Why’s he so confident? God told him, of course!

• Further gains have been made for the Bush cabinet pension scheme. That paragon of peace Donald Rumsfeld has created a firm for all your war and post-war needs, called RummyCo.

• Describing reasons for going to war in Iraq as "lies worthy of Dr. Goebbels" US Army veteran Eric Margolis notes that these lies and the endless propaganda "were packaged in the best tradition of Soviet agitprop as news, then force- fed by a servile media to an ill-informed public shockingly deficient in any sense of history, geography, or foreign affairs."

• Finally for a revealing look at the Bush administration’s failure to prevent 911, truthout.org is worth checking out.

 

Perhaps Junior should have listened to dad.. Well spotted by Iraq Body Count for this pertinent quote from TIME Magazine March 2, 1998:
"Extending the war into Iraq would have incurred incalculable human and political costs. We would have been forced to occupy Baghdad and, in effect, rule Iraq. The coalition would instantly have collapsed, the Arabs deserting in anger and other allies pulling out as well. Exceeding the U.N.’s mandate would have destroyed the precedent of international response to aggression we hoped to establish. Had we gone the invasion route, the U.S. could still be an occupying power in a bitterly hostile land."
An excerpt from Why We Didn’t Remove Saddam by George Bush Sr and Brent Scowcroft.
Conspiracy buffs will be delighted to know TIME Magazine pulled the web page of this article "because the publisher did not grant us rights to sell the piece online through the TIME archive." It can still be found here in the Internet Archive, scourge of Stalinesque revisionism on the internet.

Clustering around Iraq Clearly the thinking from the Pentagon is "maybe a few more clusterbombs ought to quiten these A-rabs down" following these alarming statistics in the UK’s Mirror newspaper. The US has used more than 10,000 cluster bombs in Iraq — seven times the number it admitted at the end of the war.
In April, General Richard Myers said US troops had fired off 1,500 of the deadly weapons, injuring just one civilian. But figures from the US Central Command yesterday reveal that 10,782 were fired by US soldiers and 2,200 by the British.
Human Rights Watch said 1,000 Iraqi civilians were killed by the bombs — made up of two million munitions, often unexploded bomblets. Eight US soldiers also died.
All of this death and destruction is good news for the bomb manufacturers Aerojet and Alliant Techsystems, and their shareholders. For the morally — but not financially — bankrupt shares enthusiast who isn’t in charge of the free world, the Perpetual War Portfolio offers a sure fire way to cash from chaos.
