Errrr uhhhhh Bush froze all Iraqi assets in 2003. Those assets were liquidated and the money is being used to help 911 survivors. I understand there are lawsuits pending. Lawyers will get most of the money.

I wonder if the media will report the fact the Iraqi people are repaying Americans for the cost of the war? Hmmmmmm doubtful.

The PNACers have their heart set on several permanent bases in Iraq.

I suppose the more likely scenario, now that I think about it, is that it won't matter. Iran will most likely be attacked before Bush leaves office. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if Cheney is asked to run as VP with McCain. An attack on Iran will turn the entire region into a choatic free-for-all. Re-destabilizing Iraq and waves of assasinations of Iraqi officials. They will either ask us to stay or there will not be enough of a government left to oppose us.

Thus fulfilling Ledeen's dream of total war and Cheney's wish to destabilize the entire middle east so that Haliburton and Custer Battles can pick up the pieces for pennies. Again, Cheney has been writing about this scenario for over 35 years, and it's plainly spelled out in many PNAC letters and documents. Too bad no one reads anything longer than a half page column width anymore.
Can I hold you to the predictions in bold?

You are a silly, silly man Dom. People are held to promises, not predictions. If you are asking me if I stand by them? Until the situation shifts from the PNAC plan, yes. But I don't see that happening yet.

A friend of mine from Algeria contacted me a few days ago. Hadn't heard from him in a while, asking me if I new about any new bases in the area. According to him, not far from where he lives in the south, the US have established a new military base that both the US and Algerian gov'ts are denying exists. Kind of hard to miss the supply convoys he said. Apparently they are there to protect the northern African oil feilds. While there is some AQ activity there, it's not enough to call for a permanent base fo this size. And what is the point of the secrecy? the Algerians now it's there, AQ knows its there, but the American people don't.

I see more and larger wars on the horizon. Wars that will necessitate the need to protect oil supplies as we did in WWI and II. Only this time, there won't be a rush to the area after the war begins, we are already there.

If McCain is elected, the PNAC plan will continue. Not with the audacious fervor that Bush pursued it with, but all the same. If Obama is elected, Israel will act as the PNAC proxy and initiate actions we will feel obligated to get involved with.

So yeah, you "hold me to these predictions" with one caveat. I hope to hell I'm wrong. But I prefer not to be surprised on this level. I'd rather the happy surprise than a catastrophic one.

Haha, all I asked was where you were from. You said "The Americans" implying that you yourself are not an American, I was curious as to where you were from.
