wow - Hariri murdered so smirk can have airbase in Lebanon

http://www.onlinejournal.com/Special_Reports/031105Madsen/031105madsen.html


Hariri reportedly assassinated to make way for large US air base in Lebanon


According to high-level Lebanese intelligence sources—Christian and Muslim—former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri was reportedly assassinated in a sophisticated explosion-by-wire bombing authorized by the Bush administration and Ariel Sharon's Likud government in Israel.

There are also strong indications that the Hariri assassination was carried out by the same rogue Syrian intelligence agents used in the 2002 car bombing assassination of Lebanese Christian leader Elie Hobeika, who was prepared to testify against Sharon in a Brussels human rights court. That case involved the Israeli Prime Minister's role in the 1982 massacre by Israeli troops of Palestinian refugees at the Sabra and Chatilla camps in Beirut. The Hariri assasination used wire-bombing technology because Hariri's security personnel used electronic countermeasures to fend off a remote control bomb using wireless means. It has been revealed that the Bush administration has used Syrian intelligence agents to torture al Qaeda suspects through the program known as "extraordinary rendition."

Lebanese intelligence sources report that even without a formal agreement with Lebanon, the contract for the northern Lebanese air base has been let by the Pentagon to Jacobs Engineering Group of Pasadena, California. Other construction support will be provided by Bechtel Corporation.

Jacobs Engineering and Jacobs Sverdrup are currently contracted for work in Saudi Arabia for Aramco, Iraq for the U.S. occupation authority, Bosnia, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Jordan, Yemen, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates.

The Lebanese air base is reportedly to be used as a transit and logistics hub for U.S. forces in Iraq and as a rest and relaxation location for U.S. troops in the region. In addition, the Lebanese base will be used to protect U.S. oil pipelines in the region (Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan and Mosul/Kirkuk-Ceyhan) as well as to destabilize the Assad government in Syria. The size of the planned air base reportedly is on the scale of the massive American Al Udeid air base in Qatar.

9. You're wrong about Iraq
The "Iraq government in the making" has clearly stated it does not want ONE SINGLE U.S. soldier in Iraq after the government is formed and security is turned over to Iraqis.

Stop watching Faux News, it's making you stupid. Just like the study proved.

10. Please provide a link that supports your assertion...
From all I have read, the exact opposite is true.

6. I would expect no less...
from this up is down, big is small administration. I am 52 and still trying to come to grips with the fact that everything I knew about my Country was wrong. I grow increasingly numb, it is awful to feel so totally impotent. I hope everyone gets out Saturday and show the world we're not ALL idiots.

11. Respnse to #6
acmejack, I know exactly how you feel. And yes, I am going to be out in Kansas City on 20 March to protest the invasion of Iraq two years ag. It is immoral, illegal and totally against what any American of our generation believed. However, I would refer you to this site:

7. So predictable.
How many of us starting asking, 'soon as we heard about this assassination, what's in it for the Cabal?

(Sorry, world.)

8. Nice to see what I said the people in Lebanon
were saying a week ago finally make it into some form of media.

They believe that "whomever would benefit" from Hariri's death made it happen.

On their short list:
1. Israel
2. The United States
