Clinton always compared himself to JFK but he is the CIA version of JFK.

Since we are talking about Iraqgate, the Red Chinese always play both sides....thus Hillary has made strange links with an Islamic bank like BCCI and Marc Rich of the Russian Mafiya.

Jfk interfered with the global big boys....FYI.

"1998 Michael Collins Piper

JFK's PLAN to ATTACK CHINA Let us begin by reviewing what well-connected "conservative" columnist Paul Scott wrote on February 13, 1970 - just over nine years after the Kennedy Assassination. According to Scott:

"[Secretary of State Dean] Rusk played a key role in the canceling of contingency planning for the destruction of Communist China's nuclear plants ordered by the late President Kennedy. Authorized by Kennedy approximately 10 weeks before his assassination, the contingency planning was abruptly called off by President Johnson shortly after he took office.

"While the White House records reveal Kennedy's role in starting the planning to 'take out' China's nuclear capability, there are no official papers to show why the top secret project was stopped in December, 1963 - or about a month after Kennedy's death.

"In researching the China policy of the Kennedy and Johnson Administration, high-ranking Nixon administration officials have been able to learn only that the project was officially disbanded after Rusk briefed President Johnson on the project when he became President.

"The information that Rusk recommended the project be killed comes from an official within the Central Intelligence Agency who was assigned to help draft the plans. He states that the contingency planning group was told that Rusk was against the project from the time Kennedy first initiated it in September, 1963...

"The great significance that Kennedy attached to the highly secret project was indicated by an account of how it started written by Stewart Alsop following Kennedy's death. 'Shortly before he died,' Alsop related, 'President Kennedy called one of the government's leading experts on the Far East into his office for a talk.

"'The conversation concerned a subject which ... troubled the late President more deeply than any other - the developing Chinese nuclear capability. He asked if there was any chance for "accommodation" with the Chinese communists. When the Far East expert said no, the President appeared to agree. He asked the expert what should be done.

"'I've given a lot of thought to that question," the expert replied. It should be technically possible at this stage in the nuclear development to destroy the Chinese nuclear plants in such a way that it will seem an atomic accident. The thing could be done as a surgical operation, without nuclear weapons, using high explosives," the official continued. "We could have plans for you, with various operational means for taking out the plants in the near future." The official told Alsop that Kennedy pointed at him meaningfully and said, "You do that."

"Immediately following this White House meeting, a contingency planning group was organized within the Kennedy administration to undertake the super-secret project. At their first meeting, the group was told that President Kennedy had decided in principle that China must be prevented, by whatever means, from becoming a nuclear power.

"According to one of the group, the planning went ahead without a hitch during September, October, and November of 1963... White House records show that shortly after Kennedy's death, President Johnson was briefed about the project by Rusk. It was shortly after this briefing that the project was canceled." [942]

JFK assassination researcher Dick Russell, who has written in passing of JFK's plans regarding China's nuclear facilities, reports that "the Soviets were said to be privately urging the United States to go ahead" with the proposed attack." [943]

Among those Americans urging Johnson to go ahead with the attack and to stand in the way of China's nuclear development was CIA Director John McCone. According to Seymour Hersh, writing in "THE SAMPSON OPTION" (his study of Israel's secret nuclear development program): "McCone sorely felt the loss of John Kennedy; his relationship with Lyndon Johnson was much less intimate and his advice not always welcome.

This letter by the "war party" NWO globalist elite is entirely bogus. Iraq poses no threat to the US whatsoever and never has. It never attacked the US or US forces until US forces were on the verge of invading it. For over a decade, Iraq has served as the whipping boy of the neo-Communist United Nations, which has been ever strengthened first by the justly fought US-Iraqi war of 1991 and then by the enforcement of its anti-sovereignity edicts such as the rediculous "no-fly zone" over Iraq by the fine fighting men of the US Air Force resulting in the loss of US lives in the friendly fire incident which saw the downing by US fighters acting under UN edicts of two US Army helicopters including one general officer. This incident led to Algore's outrageous eulogy on behalf of the dead that "they died in the service of the United Nations." Today, the neoconservative war party is trying to muster yet another bogus justification to commit aggression against Iraq even though there isn't any and hasn't been any since Iraq was forcibly ejected out of Kuwait by the force of US arms over a decade ago. Rather than focus on a bogus threat like Iraq, it is imperative that the US focus itself on the real threat which is Russia, Communist China and its Iranian and North Korean nuke armed client states.

I am curious as to what my former boss, Frank Gaffney, had to say about the Iraqgate issue? Do you know? I thought he was one of the "war party" that wants to kill Saddam and re-invade Iraq.

hey, I respect the anti-war/America First/Paleo views of Pat, and the slightly more internationalist views of both Frank and JR Nyquist. Im kind of up the middle between the two schools. I will send you some Iraqgate stuff from the CSP web page.

Thanks, for the Heads-Up.

Klinton not following up on a campaign promise is no surprise. Those words were used for an "at the time" episode. Just like the Bosnian Bombings that were ordered at a precise moment during the Lewinsky scandal(s).

Once the 'moment had passed', his promises became water under the proverbial Bridge.....

I love Frank Gaffney, but he has always been quite the warmonger. He would just as soon fight all of America's enemies and then some simultaneously. You have to pick and choose your enemies as the Bushies advocate, but it is immoral to declare alliances and strategic partnerships with the likes of Iran, Sudan, and Communist China, which boasts the most murderous regime in world history, in the war against terror. I haven't heard from Nyquist in quite a while. He was good on Russian nuclear issues and Communist plans and control, but that's about it.

In addition, all of the documents that were not returned to Peter Kawaja were sent to the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City.

BUMP for the possible link to John Doe 2, Mohammed Atta.

This seems to connect A LOT of dots....
