•  “…And the dictators who run the fundamentalist, sectarian, states of abuse we hear labeled as democracies, continue on - playing the game of sounding good and signifying nothing - just so long as the money keeps rolling in to pay for their support and manufacturing of terrorism.

Billions Louise…Billions. Billions to Pakistan beginning October, 2001. Billions to allegedly fight the ‘terrorists’, which in fact..FUNDS them.

•  “..Condoleezza Rice expends more energy traveling about the world mouthing appropriate stuff that sounds good but has no meaning, than she ever spent trying to warn Bush about bin-Laden and the “terrorists” when she had the chance…”

Ah…Bush had warning. Maybe not from Condi The Rice, since she doesn’t even provide warnings of her OWN existence. But Dick Bush had plenty of warnings, which he turned into OPPORTUNITY, which gave us 9/11. It might have been bin Laden’s idea/pipe dream, but it took Dick Bush Rumsfeld to make it happen, with Pakistan playing double agent bag man to launder the funds.

Gilani a stooge may have replaced Musharraf but Al Qaeda Myths is that it may not see any change. It is, which is made to spin.
   
In case of Al Qaeda there are two theories in circulation. One theory leads us to believe that Bin Laden along with his Lieutenants are operating from, some wilderness of Afghanistan,(where even getting a can of coke may be a job). They are the stooges implanted or pestered by west to serve western interests. Al Qaeda teams very conveniently act as ‘decoy enemy’ and keep the state of anarchy and mayhem up. A battle like condition is kept heated up, alive, which readily provides a pretext that against which allied and NATO forces may launch attacks and avail this pretence to prolong their stay on foreign invaded soils like Iraq and Afghanistan.

Where as the second theory strongly emphasises that Al Qaeda and Taliban are the old Afghan war US (Mujahideen) mercenaries turned now an arch US rivals. They were betrayed by US toward the end of war and abundant. They are using the so called safe haven along Pak-Afghan border as their bases and have declared a war against the exploitation and oppression of western forces in occupation of Arab lands and in Afghanistan. They are using the religion as their tool to advance their controversial ideology and falsely created ‘mists and myths’ of ‘Global war on terrorism’. The US Neocons are bent to exploit the situation and are thus busy advancing the agenda of western economic interests in the area. 

In both the cases, the ‘Al Qaeda Myth’ serves as the means to create fear at the home front in the west and spread of Terrorism abroad. This myth is the lynch pin of the US policies of US hegemonic adventurism. Any one; May they be friends or foe, going against this myths is supposed to be exterminated.
Myths are spinning and the show goes on.

Love for all, Hatred for None

“Neither Mr. Bush nor Mr. Gilani discussed the American strike inside Pakistan, nor recent episodes like the American bombing of a border post in June that killed 11 Pakistani soldiers and inflamed anti-American sentiment. The two leaders appeared eager to show that they were working together closely and respectfully.”

That’s the way it works. Avoid discussing the obvious and nobody will question the obvious. Like how “we” inflame anti-American sentiment. Actually, in the la-la land of conservative altered reality, nobody questions the obvious anyway. Duh -

Like when did we take a left-right turn and land ourselves right in the middle of running someone else’s country?

Ok I know.

But ... but ... that country harbors terrorists ... gasp.

Tell me where in the world will we NOT find terrorists? Could it be that is exactly why the conservatives chose to make “terrorists” the enemy? So always there, everywhere, scary dangerous people. The eternal and everlasting excuse for meddling in everybody’s affairs. Kinda gives new meaning to the word “save” eh?

Condoleezza Rice expends more energy traveling about the world mouthing appropriate stuff that sounds good but has no meaning, than she ever spent trying to warn Bush about bin-Laden and the “terrorists” when she had the chance.

But, had she been successful in heading off the terrorists, we wouldn’t be living in terror would we? Then, how could Bush expend almost as much energy ‘trying’ to mouth stuff that sounds good and has no meaning, if there was no meaning?

Which all leaves one to draw the obvious conclusion, it’s not about terrorism, or even national security. It’s all about keeping us in line, while they fly about getting attention and traveling for free and being made to feel infinitely more important than they are. Really, beyond creating a centuries worth of serious new problems, what have these two accomplished? Nothing.

Oh, I need to amend that. They have managed to keep us off balance long enough to drain the treasury, destroy the military, weaken national security, weaken the dollar, steal what little was left for the middle class and the poor, and give it to the rich.

And the dictators who run the fundamentalist, sectarian, states of abuse we hear labeled as democracies, continue on - playing the game of sounding good and signifying nothing - just so long as the money keeps rolling in to pay for their support and manufacturing of terrorism.

Discounting all the lying and theft, war and death, consider the cost of just looking good! All that pomp and circumstance, not to mention the gas guzzling vehicles and planes, security, food service, maintenance and cleaning staff!

And all those overpaid non-producing “yes” men and women. And an obedient media that keeps trying to convince us we should get excited about being allowed to be non-participating, participants in this extravagance of greed. Or world altering diplomacy - take your pick.

It occurs to me, had anyone other than Bush tried this, they never would have got away with it. Bush’s pretense of great stupidity and indifference has led us all to believe we need to support him, because the poor man cant support himself.

And that makes almost as much sense as the rest of the insanity that has become synonymous with “America, Home of the Free and the Brave.”

Oh who am I kidding? Meddling in the control of others has been going on for longer than I can remember. It’s the “conservative” way. The Bush era has just made it feel normal.

Boy are we dumb or what?

Were it not for ruined and wasted lives. Lost fortunes. Missing minds and limbs and the growing pile of dead, the history of conservative politics in America would make a very funny movie.

Humm….very, very, *interesting*.

•  Mr. Bush, meeting with Pakistan’s prime minister, Yousaf Raza Gilani, at the White House, sought to minimize growing concerns that Pakistan’s willingness to fight extremists was waning, allowing the Taliban and Al Qaeda to regroup inside Pakistan and plan new attacks there and beyond.

Willingness ‘waning’? I think not. I think it never was there to begin with, despite the $22 billion that Pakistan has been gifted with, to do what they obviously have NEVER been willing to do. Al-Qaeda’s had a free ticket to roam over there, aided and abetted by the Taliban, ever since the shrub and his pentagon team outsourced the efforts to the Pakistani dictatorship that was Musharraff. (also good buddy to our own thrugs in DC)

•  “..Senior American officials, including Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice just three days ago, publicly scolded
Pakistan for not doing more to root out safe havens like the one bombed on Monday in Azam Warsak, a
village in South Waziristan near the Afghan border…”

Wonder why SHE’S all of a sudden paying attention to Pakistan? Bet I know.

•  “…With Mr. Gilani by his side on the South Lawn, Mr. Bush praised Pakistan as “a strong ally and a vibrant
democracy”..”

A ‘vibrant democracy’? This is what I mean. We can’t take any more of this clown bush. Musharraf was a flippin’ military dictator, no better than the US installed Pinochet in Chile. Democracy my ass. Everything with this clown is the opposite of what things actually are. He couldn’t tell the truth if his life depended on it.

Now they MIGHT have a chance at a democracy now that they’ve appeared to get rid of Musharraf, but it’s still way too soon to tell.  Seems hard to imagine with al-Qaeda and the Taliban on the loose though. “Democracy” isn’t really what they’re about.
