Bush planned Iraq regime change before election

A liberal friend sent me this. Would be interested in the opinion of fellow freepers.

[Howlin]

Your first post in almost four years and you chose to post this?

[Miss Marple]

Scooter Libby in on the planning? HAR-DE-HAR-HAR!

[dirtboy]

My opinion? The aspiring fiction writer who penned this crap shouldn't quit his day job:

calls for the creation of 'US Space Forces', to dominate space

Yeah! Space Rangers!

[M. Thatcher]

Glad to see the loony left's black-helicopter crowd is so much lamer than ours.

[Howlin]

spotlights China for 'regime change'

LOL.

[glock rocks]

is your bong full?

[dirtboy]

This piece is really quite hilarious. It states this:

The PNAC blueprint supports an earlier document written by Wolfowitz and Libby that said the US must 'discourage advanced industrial nations from challenging our leadership or even aspiring to a larger regional or global role'.

And then two sentences later states this:

refers to key allies such as the UK as 'the most effective and efficient means of exercising American global leadership';

They can't even keep their lies consistent...

[Senator Pardek]

...combat likely will take place in new dimensions, in space, cyberspace, and perhaps the world of microbes...

"The World Of Microbes" - Tues. night at ten eastern - only on The Discovery Channel.

[ChadGore]

Oh please . . what tripe. Regime change inside Iraq has been the official position of the United States since 1999.

Bush hasn't changed a thing.

[small voice in the wilderness]

Yeah. I think Bat-Boy leaked this secret report in the October, 2000 National Enquirer. That's why he chose to support gore.

[Senator Pardek]

'American and allied power providing the spur to the process of democratisation in China'

Maggie - is it not proper to exactly reproduce a phrase when quoting it? Or are these guys in the Administration merely Anglophobes?

[Rocko]

Your liberal friend is a loony.

[Senator Pardek]

Er - I mean Anglophiles....

[hellinahandcart]

...combat likely will take place in new dimensions, in space, cyberspace, and perhaps the world of microbes...

Thinking...thinking...Okay! I just picked my branch of service. I choose Interdimensional Combat.

(Microbes creep me out up close)

The plan shows Bush's cabinet intended to take military control of the Gulf region whether or not Saddam Hussein was in power. It says: 'The United States has for decades sought to play a more permanent role in Gulf regional security. While the unresolved conflict with Iraq provides the immediate justification, the need for a substantial American force presence in the Gulf transcends the issue of the regime of Saddam Hussein.' [emphasis added]

Shows what, again?

[Wait4Truth]

Actually, I hope the administrator decides to get this piece of crap out of here...no offense.

[Thinkin' Gal]

Tam Dalyell, the Labour MP, father of the House of Commons and one of the leading rebel voices against war with Iraq, said:

"Where are your rebel friends NOW?"

[VOA]

I'd remind Neil Mackay (the article's author) of an American phrase:
"Timing Is Everything"

Note these two passages:
The document, entitled Rebuilding America's Defences: Strategies, Forces And
Resources For A New Century, was written in September 2000 by the neo-conservative think-tank Project for the New American Century (PNAC).

and

reveals worries in the administration that Europe could rival the USA;

The Dubya administration didn't start until a day late in January 2001.

Maybe this article is subtly telling us that Dubya was already assured the
Presidency in September 2000...even before the election.

Wow...what a cool conspiracy theory...

[Senator Pardek]

Is it not true that if hellinahandcart were transformed into a 4 dimensional soldier, HIAHC could be positioned to shoot a weapon whose ammo would appear out of nowhere, from the enemy's point of view?
