on The Hill, Bush is now moving into Phase III in his 'War on Terror':
First, Afghanistan, then Iraq, then Iran . . ."<b><span

Bush-Cheney’s final months in power, or after, led by their
successors. In fact, the successors seem even more eager to do Bush-Cheney
one better by fighting the "real war on terrorism" that was,
according to the now <a

red herrings and lies have been irrevocably fused on to the larger 9/11

Scott Ritter, author of the book <i><span style='font-style:italic'>Target:

<p><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:

-- and will continue to do so ad nauseum, as they have for nearly six years

Islamic 'terrorists,' 'Al-Qaeda,' Osama bin Laden, etc. and Anglo-American

which rests squarely on the perpetual threat of a fabricated outside enemy,
and fear of a "<a

style='font-style:italic'>new 9/11</span></i></a>." This deception
provides the ongoing pretext used to justify endless warfare and endless

<p><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:

"Al-Qaeda" propaganda meat, and its most recent incarnation, the
"Iran-as-leading-terrorist-nation" rhetoric now being spearheaded
by Bush himself.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:

the Bush-Cheney agenda</a>, and return Anglo-American criminality to its
1990s glory. Not surprisingly, Hillary Clinton’s advisors include
legendary war criminals Madeline Albright, Sandy Berger, Richard Holbrooke,
Strobe Talbott and, of course, Bill Clinton himself. The "Al-Qaeda"
war politics blossomed during the Bill Clinton administration with the use
of Al-Qaeda/militant Islamic mercenaries in Kosovo and Bosnia, and what is
arguably the true start of today’s "war on terror" -- the
identification of Osama bin Laden as "enemy number one" in 1998,
followed by the bombing of Sudan. The cooperative role that the deeply
corrupt Clinton faction played alongside the Bush "crime family,"
in virtually all of the major US government crimes from the 1980s to the
present, can fill several libraries.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:

<p><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:

"progressives" who are easily fooled by his smooth style and

agenda is <a

to that of the Bush administration</a>, including his approach to the
"war on terrorism." Obama virtually promises to be a worldwide
mass murderer, justifying his crimes with "<a
href="http://www.thegate.nationaljournal.com/2007/07/obama_identifies_iraqi_blowbac.php">blowback</a>"
deceptions. Like other members of Congress, Obama has access to classified
material. He and others are complicit in hiding the fact of Anglo-American
intelligence connections behind both the "terrorism" and the
"insurgencies" . . . <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:

recently blasted <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Clinton</st1:place></st1:City>
as the candidate of a process "rigged by the elites." This
deceptive rhetoric hides the fact that Edwards himself is an elite,
supported by Jimmy Carter, and backed by equally powerful and unsavory
financial and political interests. Edwards has never stopped proclaiming
his intention, should be become president (or vice president) to "kill
terrorists."<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:

manner that Edwards suggests. All modern <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place

as grotesquely evidenced by the open theft of every election since 2000,

<p><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:

power are amply documented. According to investigative journalists such as
Daniel Estulin, author of a soon-to-be released book on Bilderberg, the
leading US presidential candidates (who stand any realistic chance of being
selected) share extensive Bilderberger connections, including the Clintons
(members of long standing), and Edwards.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Republican Ron Paul (all of whom continue to be routinely shut out by the
political establishment, and dismissed by their own party apparatuses), and
even more marginal names, the war and "anti-terror" platforms of
the leading candidates are malodorously pure fascism, straight out of the
Bush-Cheney’s playbook.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

terrorism" and the "war against radical extremists" into <st1:country-region
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Iran</st1:place></st1:country-region>, and
beyond. If Bush-Cheney engineer a "next 9/11," crushing political
and popular resistance, the war will come even sooner. Both Republican and
Democratic Party factions are hell-bent on pushing the same post-Peak Oil
geostrategic control agenda, the same false flag terror, and the same
propaganda.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
