04-21-06 - Ex-CIA agent says WMD intelligence ignored "The (White House) group that was dealing with preparation for the Iraq war came back and said they were no longer interested," he was quoted as saying in interview excerpts released by CBS on Friday. "We said: 'Well, what about the intel?' And they said: 'Well, this isn't about intel anymore. This is about regime change'," added Drumheller, whose CIA operation was assigned the task of debriefing the Iraqi official.
Say, I wonder which 'White House Group' would've done something like that? Was it perhaps, the neocons?

04-21-06 - We could lose the next war "I have no doubt that if Egypt could make Israel disappear from the map, it would not object to that. A future military confrontation with Israel exists in the Egyptian national consciousness and in the consciousness of the Egyptian security forces, and that is what Egyptian strategic planning is leading toward." Read the next few paragraphs after that one. It's interesting that this man is blaming Egypt for .. just about everything. Lest we forget, Israel believed Egypt was about to attack in the past and then threw the first punch in 1967 by destroying Egypt's airfields thereby igniting the Six Day War - a war in which Israel saw massive territorial gains.

04-21-06 - The Power Player Who Faces Charges for Talking His indictment has marred the reputation of AIPAC, which employed him for 23 years. The hard-charging Rosen was instrumental in building AIPAC into one of Washington's most effective pressure groups. The 100,000-member organization plays a major role in securing more than $2 billion a year in U.S. aid for Israel and in fostering other pro-Israel policies...At AIPAC, Rosen helped pioneer executive-branch lobbying, a style of advocacy that was not widespread when he began it in the mid-1980s, but is now a routine complement to the more traditional lobbying of Congress. Before Rosen, AIPAC had believed that the way to alter American foreign policy was to get senators to sign a letter But these days, to say that these pro-Israel lobbyists alter foreign policy is the talk of 'anti-Semites'.
04-21-06 - Lawyer: Rice Allegedly Leaked Defense Info "On day one, Secretary of State Rice tells him certain info and on day two one of the conspirators tells him the same thing or something less volatile."

We arm and back Israel in its war against the Palestinians. And then we allow Israelis to train our forces for when they invade Iraq.

Bringing in Alliant into the SRBDM project could ensure that a large congressional bloc will support budget appropriations for short-range missile defense, provided that IAI and Boeing win the tender," Globes said. Meanwhile, America's borders continue to remain open and veritably undefended.
Say, I wonder which 'White House Group' would've done something like that? Was it perhaps, the neocons?
