Bombing of the Red Cross last year: who benefited?
This part of the Observer piece today had me getting my rarely-used tinfoil hat out:

Last summer - a few days before the Red Cross evacuated its staff from Baghdad - Nada Doumani, the Lebanese spokeswoman for the ICRC's delegation to Iraq, was sitting in her sandbagged office complaining of the huge difficulties in tracking detainees within the US-administered prison system in Iraq.

Already, as is now clear, her officials were privately concerned over what they were hearing was happening inside the prisons that they were visiting.

These days Doumani and the Iraq delegation is based in neighbouring Jordan, the security situation meaning it still too dangerous for the ICRC to have a permanent, large-scale presence in Iraq.

I remember wondering at the time why someone would bomb the organization I thought of as bringing aid. Of course, since they also monitor prison conditions, there are people who'd benefit from the Red Cross taking their offices out of Iraq. Like military intelligence.

If there are any conspiracy theorists I rubbished at the time, I apologize (hey, it's in fashion this week).

2. Makes sense!
And while we're at it I wonder why the FBI was never able to track down the people who sent the stuff to our senators and news reporters? Isn't it odd that BAYER made a huge sum of cash right after the big scare even though Bush could have bought other drugs that would have worked as good or better than Cipro?

Bayer was owned by IG Farben old Prescott Bush's partners at Brown Brothers Harriman Bank! Brown Bros. and IG Farben co owned the huge chemical plant built next to and operated with slave laborers from the Death Camp at Auschwitz! Bayer even was in on the Nazi doctor's horrid medical experiments at the death camps! Another branch of IG Farben even made the Zyclon-B gas pellets that the SS used in the camps to murder prisoners!

Not long before Bush was sElected pResident there was a huge law suit brought and won by the death camp victims and their families in Europe! It cost Bayer some BIG money! Next thing you know Bush bails Bayer out of trouble when he buys all that Cipro! Bush has even fought in America and other countries to protect Bayer's Cipro patents! Since then too, Bayer has been buying up chemical firms in the US like there's no tomorrow! Bayer Crop Science owns what was Union Carbide now! But don't believe me, go check it out on the WWW! There is a lot more to the story than I have told you here!

The Bushcos have their fingers in so many pies, that it would take forever to sort them out! Nothing is beyond belief when it comes to these Gangsters!
