Re: Not til we find the WMD n/m
"I thought we went
to Iraq to make the world's oil supply safe for capitalism?"
I agree completely on Afghanistan and the poppy industry.
If you believe we went to Iraq for WMD, you believe in the tooth fairy. It was
the evangelicals trying to create Armageddon. Bush consults with them on
foreign policy all the time. Why do think that he's (we, you and me
brother) headed for either invasion of bombing of Iran? Same reason.
Just one of many sites regarding Bush and the Armageddonites.

America's Armageddonites Push for More War By Jon Basil Utley, Foreign Policy
in Focus. Posted October 22, 2007
Utopian fantasies have long transfixed the human race. Yet today a much rarer
fantasy has become popular in the United States. Millions of Americans, the
richest people in history, have a death wish. They are the new "Armageddonites,"
fundamentalist evangelicals who have moved from forecasting Armageddon to
actually trying to bring it about.
These end-timers have great influence over the U.S. government's foreign
policy. They are thick with the Republican leadership. At a recent conference in
Washington, congressional leader Roy Blunt, for example, has said that their
work is "part of God's plan." At the same meeting, where speakers
promoted attacking Iran, former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay glorified
"end times." Indeed the Bush administration often consults with them
on Mideast policies. The organizer of the conference, Rev. John Hagee, is
often welcomed at the White House, although his ratings are among the lowest on
integrity and transparency by Ministry Watch, which rates religious
broadcasters. He raises millions of dollars from his campaign supporting Israeli
settlements on the West Bank, including much for himself. Erstwhile presidential
candidate Gary Bauer is on his Board of Directors. Jerry Falwell and Pat
Robertson also both expressed strong end-times beliefs.
