Cheney In '94: Invading Iraq Would Create Quagmire

If anyone still needed proof that what's happening in Iraq today has NOT taken the Neocons in the Bush Administration by surprise, watch this video of Cheney speaking about the issue of invading Baghdad in 1994.

This shows that they knew what would happen, which certainly strengthens the argument that they planned this fiasco. Why? Reports about Peak Oil. The idea of gaining control of Iraq's oil reserves. Strengthening control in the region, and in the global economy.

So, how many dead Americans is that worth? A lot, say the Neocons. I don't agree. I think a better solution would be to loosen the grip on our balls that the oil industry has, go green, and try planning for a lasting civilization instead of Armageddon.

Here's a great post from March 2006 called "The End of Civilization" by Dave Eriqat at CounterCurrents.org. It speaks to the Bush Administration's preparations for Armageddon.

Some say ignorance is bliss. But if you don't, then look at these issues more closely. Write to your representatives in congress and tell them what you think of the direction they're taking us.
