Chuck BaldwinSelecting Terrorist TargetsThu Sep 19 19:39:59 2002208.152.73.11Selecting Terrorist TargetsBy Chuck BaldwinSeptember 20, 2002Just about everyone on the planet knows that President Bush hasalready made up his mind to attack Iraq. The only question seemsto be whether the attack will come before or after the Novemberelections. While I am anything but a pacifist when it comes todefending our liberties and national security, I must confess to asignificant degree of confusion about the why and who of all of this.Why does the United States put potential adversaries on its payroll,only then to ask America's fighting men to risk their lives indisplacing them? Both Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Husseinwere financed and supported by our own government. In otherwords, we wouldn't even be bothered with either of these maniacsif it weren't for the moral and financial assistance of the United States.President Bush has done a miserable job of defining the reasonswhy Iraq poses a significant risk to the safety and security of ourcountry. To be sure, any chemical or nuclear weapons that Iraq isamassing poses a clear and present danger to Israel. If we want toengage Iraq on that basis, fine, but for Bush to suggest that Iraqcould actually launch missiles of any kind against the United Statesis absurd.There is no credible evidence that Iraq participated in the terroristattacks on September 11, 2001. There is plenty of evidence,however, that Saudi Arabia was definitely involved and that itremains heavily involved in financing and supporting al-Qaeda anda host of other terrorist organizations. So, why does Saudi Arabiaget a pass? Why do we not attack them?There is credible evidence that Iraq was directly involved in theOklahoma City bombing, but we have totally ignored thatconnection. Why? Why attack Iraq for something they didn't do,while at the same time ignore something they did do? None of thismakes sense.The stated reason we are attacking Iraq is because they aredeveloping weapons of mass destruction. Using this argument, theone nation that we should be attacking is Red China. Along withRussia, China is the only country that has the weaponry andtechnology to actually launch a first strike against the UnitedStates. Talk about terrorism, Red China has already murdered over60 million innocent people. It has killed thousands of Americans,has forcibly grounded our aircraft, and has threatened to incinerateour major cities. Yet, not only do we not talk of attacking China,we regard them as "friends" and "trading partners."Furthermore, why do terrorist states such as Syria, Libya, Sudan,and North Korea get a pass? They have used a variety of weaponsto slaughter thousands and even millions of people.I have no problem with the United States waging war with Iraq,providing the U.S. Constitution is obeyed. This means Congressshould be fully informed and convinced of the legitimacy of thereasons for waging war and agrees to declare war first. This willnot be done, of course.The only thing consistent about America's foreign policy (which isbasically the same regardless of which party is in power) is itsabject inconsistency. It seems to me that most of our undeclaredwars (every war since WWII) are fought more on the basis ofpolitical or commercial considerations than those of nationalsecurity. Don't forget that a war with Iraq will force oil prices toskyrocket. One doesn't have to be a genius to figure out who wouldbenefit from that.It is frightening and appalling that our government is so quick toorder America's young men to die defending the commercial orpolitical interests of the politicians while virtually ignoring or evenabetting those nations that genuinely pose a clear and presentdanger to our liberties. You figure it out.====================================REPOST FROM: "Larry Lawson" - hitech@smithville.net Archived at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LLNewsWhy Afghanistan ??? It's All About Oil !!!Oil Company Report to Congress Says..."The territory across which the pipeline would extend is controlled by theTaliban, an Islamic movement that is not recognized as a government by mostother nations.""From the outset, we have made it clear that construction of our proposedpipeline cannot begin until a recognized government is in place that has theconfidence of governments, lenders and our company.""In spite of this, a route through Afghanistan appears to be the best optionwith the fewest technical obstacles.""It is the shortest route to the sea and has relatively favorable terrainfor a pipeline. ""The route through Afghanistan is the one that would bring Central Asian oilclosest to Asian markets and thus would be the cheapest in terms oftransporting the oil.""This 42-inch-diameter pipeline will have a shipping capacity of one millionbarrels of oil per day.""As with the proposed Central Asia Oil Pipeline, CentGas cannot beginconstruction until an internationally recognized Afghanistan government isin place.
