thinkprogress.org — Another blockbuster from the New Yorker's Sy Hersh -- an apparent U.S. effort, in coordination with the Saudis, to fund anti-Shiite activity throughout the Middle East. He says funds are being funneled to violent Sunni groups, including three with Al Qaeda links in Lebanon.

Another illustration of how morally and ethically destitute the Bush administration is.

About face changing of allainces and teaming with your suppossed enemies to fight the new designated enemy- Iran, when politically expedient, this war on terror is a ruse- really this proves the war is on freedom. Truely this man-Bush is a traitor.

Not incompetence, and not Bush. The Neocon network has been around since at least the late 1970s, when factions of the U.S. intelligence community allied themselves in a really serious way with corporate top dogs (like the Hunt brothers and the Coors brothers, and the Halliburtons, Cheneys, Bechtels, GEs, Wolfowitzes, Bushes, Rumsfelds, etc.) to set up an off-the-books, "off-the-shelf government" to run the U.S., and then the world, from behind the scenes, and mostly through covert operations funded with stolen U.S. money and drug sales.This is all planned. And the Neocon PR mavens (like Rove) have no qualms about playing the incompetence card as often as they play the were-the-greatest-intelligence-team, so long as it balances in their favor; and they play different cards to different audiences, to keep the liberals reeling, and to keep the conservatives feeling macho. See "The Century of the Self" (available on Netflix) -- the U.S. military intelligence community has learned to excel at controlling the psychologies of the masses. Its about world domination, now, and if you are not among the world's most wealthy elite, you are not on the Neocon team. Worry about this: the Neocons know the earth is overpopulated (we consume far more than the earth can produce, each year -- plus global warming -- plus end of oil -- they know and BELIEVE all these things), and we are due for a 'correction' sometime in this century... they will have to make their move soon, some time in next two decades... why else run drills related to domestic uprising; why else have Halliburton *double* U.S. prison capacity (building concentration camps for 'domestic terrorists'; why else prepare our minds for a police state by building our fear and sense of the world's cruelty with orchestrated outrage over Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo? 9/11 was an inside job and it was the trigger for a course of actions from which the Neocons cannot back down -- their "Crossing the Rubicon" step. They own the media, and through the media the legislature, through the legislature the judiciary and the military. We only have one place to look -- building common knowledge amongst each other.I could go on, but each of us must look into these things. Once you've got a handle on it, bring your friends and family up to speed.I don't yet have the answer to how we can overcome the way we are cornered by these sick, ghoulish creeps, but let's keep educating each other and maybe an answer will come.Peace,sv

Read *every* journalist with skepticism -- how do they know what they know; could you prove it if you had to? They are only as good as their info sources. And there is a world of professional (nefarious Neocon) disinformation out there -- phony blogs, moles in "progressive" publications, wild stories and slight variations from the truth posted online, you name it, all to confuse and factionalize our understanding of what is going on.I could go on, but each of us must look into these things.

Neocon plans change, and there is a lot of disinformation out there. Just because it didn't happen doesn't mean it wasn't planned, or that phony plans weren't leaked to prepare and/or desensitize our minds for when it finally does come. get it?

well, now it's a war w/ the Shia and their allies.Hersch said on Democracy Now recently that he has been told that Cheney thinks of the Hezbollah as Iran's 'brown shirts' in Lebanon, (same idea as the 'cat's paw' concept that we've heard of already) and that they could or would be given access to nuclear technology and would use it against Israel, europe, US. Further, he said that Chency believed Iran would shortly have the bomb.The Bandar connection is disturbing, to say the least. CAn't say I'm all that surprised.
