When U.S. foreign policy for the Middle East was drawn up many decades ago their was only two agendas. Protect the natural resources(oil) of the region for U.S. consumption and to make sure the U.S.S.R. did not gain control over the region. Think the cold war is over, think again. This foreign policy is still in place today. The Israelis were about to fuck it all up and attack Saddam and Iraq. Remeber the Israelis already had taken out a nuclear reactor Saddam was trying to build. When the infamous idiot (Bush; as if you didn't know) gave the world wide command to attack terroists wherever they hide Israel figured he gave the go ahead. Hang on Israel let us the U.S. military take care of this for you. We wouldn't want you to waste the military assests we have given you on our taxpayers nickel. The rest you know WMD's, human rights abuses, etc., etc., etc., WAR. And if you believe everything the government and news media says, then I have some prime acreage for sale in the florida everglades. Anyone interested?
