re: #322 prairiefire

It is smoke and mirrors for the public record on purpose. A volcanic collusion of narcy personalities. Cheney, Rumsfield, Bush, Wolfe, (oy vey) Gonzalez, Ashcroft.

plus it makes it very difficult to sort the villains from the dupes versus those honest folks being conned. I still have doubts as to who was driving the bus and whose agenda was being promoted. I’ve come to believe that Cheney was the main orchestrator using Bush’s weakness about Iraq against him to promote the war and make some profit with his pals at Haliburton. Shuts the press up about 9/11 because they’ll just play the patriot card, has the benefit of making Powell look like a fool and profit for everyone, we’ll be hailed as liberators yada yada yada. Shuts up those clean energy stuff after they negotiate some sweet deals as they establish their puppet regime.

The questions for me:

Was Rumsfield in on it?
Rice?
How involved was Bush?

Plus the aftermath with Gonzalez, Yoo and the treatment of those detained and their inability to show reason, compassion, logic in the treatment of those folks and to actually expedite the conflict.

Simpletons? Cunning machiavellians? some of each?
