The truth behind our presence in Afghanistan:
Edited on Sat May-09-09 10:04 AM by dixiegrrrrl

I found a one page article that sums up the US plans since 1992.
( Hint: It proves Cheney's planning even back then)
It is copyrighted work, so I can only give you the link:
but it is a quick, eye opening read.

2. I got to the bottom of page and saw the copyright statement , so had to edit.
Glad you saw the quotes...helps to look back at events, doesn't it?
I hope others will have the 2-3 minutes to read the revealing article.

12. You were fine to include some excerpts.
Here is DU's rule:

5. Copyrights: Do not copy-and-paste entire articles onto this discussion forum. When referencing copyrighted work, post a short excerpt (not exceeding 4 paragraphs) with a link back to the original.


Most of the articles you see excerpted every day are copyrighted, whether they include a notice to that effect or not.

6. Why would they not want people to repost this article?
It's the internet for crying out loud!

7. That's what the PNAC was written up for
I'm sure it's been replaced with something with a different title and being kept secret from our prying eyes.

10. It has been re-written, re-named, and is on the Inter Tubes somewhere.
I read about it here on DU and Keith mentioned it, but now my mind went blank.

Maybe someone here remembers.

8. More "evidence" was presented that Saddam Huissein had WMD than
that Osama bin Laden was behind 9/11. AND now we know that most of THAT "evidence," presented to the highly controlled 9/11 Commission, came from victims of torture.

America, you've been had by the deep state.

Wake up.

We're not going to get our country back if we don't understand who took it from us and how.

16. Thanks for the link
big time dick cheney is not a good person and never was one. This traitor has been working on getting into the whitehouse for 40 some odd years, probably his whole life. It was never to do good for the country its always been to do good for the dick. He's vile and he's headed for some rough times.

17. Some of the public is very slow to catch on.
Even now, some folks still deny the obvious. Late last year some people were still making an argument that the war on terra cannot possibly be about oil because if we had all that oil then gasoline prices would not be so high.

As if they would just share all that oil with the common folks after they went to such lengths to steal it. It's mind boggling how crazy the right-wing has become. The mental gymnastics that it must take for them to continue to deny the obvious is just astounding. I think the far right is having yet another psychotic break with reality.
