Free Republic

What leftist tripe do I post? I've posted plenty exposing leftists in Ukraine and other areas, sure. Anyone who raises taxes, minimal wage and puts up maximal commodity prices should be exposed.

What leftist tripe do I post?

First, we must return to a value currency and stop all deficit spending. Want more guns, cut something. More education, cut something. Then out with the welfare for the work able but lazy. Time to clean up our moral codes too. Set a real example.

Scanned the article for the info between the CIA and the Baathists. Between typing here and rewriting my wife's resume, I went skimping.

I didn't look past the page to see what else they printed.

The state there controls about 30% of the oil production. Personally I don't think they should control any, but to say they control all is far from the truth. Just ask Exxon, Chevron and BP-TNK about that.

Ask Ford, Tyotota, IBM, Boeing, Levis, Jeep, BMW, Renault, Intel, HP and hundreds of other US/European companies about that so called socialist government. Or is it the bans on abortion and Christian education in the public schools that you find socialist?

but he's vastly expanding government

Proof please. It's us who now have 30% or so of our work force working for Federal, State or Local government.

What's causing the dive in exploration is taxation of 90% on every dollar about 25. On the other hand, with these taxes, they lowered the tax rates on all other industries, especially technology to allow them to grow and diversify the economy.

Did you bother to check your source? It is wacko Anti American Leftist website

Actually, no I didn't. Scanned the article for the info between the CIA and the Baathists. Between typing here and rewriting my wife's resume, I went skimping.

What propaganda? That the CIA helped the Baathists rise to power in the 60s to replace the communsits? Or that Saudi Arabia funds islamic fanaticism?

Saudi Arabia is already at war with us. Just because they can't send tanks into NY, they train, indocternate and then release islamic fundies on us instead. They spread 5th columnists in our nations, take over more moderate mosques and drive the anti-american fanaticism in most of the islamic world. We didn't start his ruckous, the Saudies did.

The main article is from the BBC and its the best unblog site I found in a quick search. As I said, the comments are stupid leftist crap. I attached that comment right off to make sure no one thought I supported the commentary. The facts stand, we helped the Baathists, or rather the CIA.

Jimmy Carter.

Why, why, you, you... Trotskyite!

I hope that was in jest. I dispise the bastard kiddies of Marx in any form.

As I said, the historical part of CIA invovlement with the Baathists is all I was looking for. The commentary at the end was stupid crap. Typical of any main media or their lower cousins....state the facts, then spin them.

That's the difference, Saudi Arabia has already declared war on us, period. I'm not concerned with democracy there, which would only bring a Bin Ladin type to power. I'm concerned with the present powers who are trying to destroy us through a-symetrical warfare, while dropping $60 million plus on DC each and every year for 30 plus years. Saudi Arabia started their war on us a long time ago.

The CIA aided both the Shah in Iran and the Baathists in Iraq to remove the communists who over threw the king. Why would the Soviets remove the Communist party of Iraq to replace them with milder Socialists? That makes ZERO sense.

WW2 was not a mistake. WW1 was. If the Kaiser had won, what would have been the results? More European territory for Germany and some colonies, period. No Hitler or European soviet revolutions. Furthermore, the Whites would have gotten backing and crushed the Reds in Russia.

Unfortunetly you're right for now. I still believe its a matter of time. They continue to sponsor the very vipers who wish to exterminate us from the face of the earth. After all, only two regimes recognized the Taliban. It's founder: Pakistan and its financier: Saudi Arabia.

I think the US (along with other members of the free world) probably did have an agenda and contingency plans regarding Saddam Hussein before 9/11

No doubt, any good command will always have contingency plans dealing with any nation in its area of responsability. However, I still say that after Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia should have been the target. It did attack America and still does, daily. Furthermore, the Saudies have WMD, missiles to deliver them (at least to Israel and maybe Cairo) and told the UN nuclear inspectors to shove it when they wanted info on their nuclear weapons programs.

"The CIA has been organizing "regime change" for 50 years. They have removed many governments that are unfriendly to US corporate interests and replaced them with regimes that are more likely to work closely and slavishly to carry out the economic and geopolitical desires of the US corporate elite. But the CIA's crimes don't end when a right-wing coup has succeeded. The CIA then has to keep its repressive despots in power in order to ensure that they can put into place and then maintain a variety of unjust economic systems and structures. This is done with arms sales (and outright gifts of "surplus" weapons), glowing diplomatic support, "intelligence support" (sic) and massive economic investment (i.e., pillaging as much profit as possible by exploiting the natural resources that drew them in there in the first place, and handing out some of the spoils to a loyal local elite).

This is crap, but the fact is, we helped put Saddam's Baathaist into power to remove the communists who had over thrown the king. That is a fact. We also removed the two predicessors in the Baathast Regime.
