- somewhere between wild conspiracy theories involving remote-controlled planes and us/uk government propaganda - this seems to be the nearest to what i figured to be the truth - and a very respectable source this chap is too!

Years after the better independent blogs, this progressive UK MSM source is talking about what really happened on Bush's watch. Maybe after some 5 more years, the U.S. MSM might do so.

- From the page: "Massive attention has now been given - and rightly so - to the reasons why Britain went to war against Iraq. But far too little attention has focused on why the US went to war, and that throws light on British motives too. The conventional explanation is that after the Twin Towers were hit, retaliation against al-Qaida bases in Afghanistan was a natural first step in launching a global war against terrorism. Then, because Saddam Hussein was alleged by the US and UK governments to retain weapons of mass destruction, the war could be extended to Iraq as well. However this theory does not fit all the facts. The truth may be a great deal murkier.
We now know that a blueprint for the creation of a global Pax Americana was drawn up for Dick Cheney (now vice-president), Donald Rumsfeld (defence secretary), Paul Wolfowitz (Rumsfeld's deputy), Jeb Bush (George Bush's younger brother) and Lewis Libby (Cheney's chief of staff). The document, entitled Rebuilding America's Defences, was written in September 2000 by the neoconservative think tank, Project for the New American Century (PNAC). "

- I doubt if U.S. corporate media will ever be this candid with us-- to our great shame and loss. All the more reason to search out alternative news sources that speak truth to power.

- Right-wingers of StumbleUpon reading my review will undoubtedly shout outrageously "but there are Muslim fanatics who want to kill us - this is no myth!" To which I would respond, "The article does not deny this. It outlines the true motivation of the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, and other sovereign nations, as outlined by PNAC."
"The conclusion of all this analysis must surely be that the "global war on terrorism" has the hallmarks of a political myth propagated to pave the way for a wholly different agenda - the US goal of world hegemony, built around securing by force command over the oil supplies required to drive the whole project."

- From the page: "The plan shows Bush's cabinet intended to take military control of the Gulf region whether or not Saddam Hussein was in power. It says "while the unresolved conflict with Iraq provides the immediate justification, the need for a substantial American force presence in the Gulf transcends the issue of the regime of Saddam Hussein."
The PNAC blueprint supports an earlier document attributed to Wolfowitz and Libby which said the US must "discourage advanced industrial nations from challenging our leadership or even aspiring to a larger regional or global role". It refers to key allies such as the UK as "the most effective and efficient means of exercising American global leadership". It describes peacekeeping missions as "demanding American political leadership rather than that of the UN". It says "even should Saddam pass from the scene", US bases in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait will remain permanently... as "Iran may well prove as large a threat to US interests as Iraq has". It spotlights China for "regime change", saying "it is time to increase the presence of American forces in SE Asia".
Lies & politics. We all knew this at the time, that's why millions of us marched in protest.
But our puppet governments reassured us it wasn't about regime change.
The liars should be hung for their war crimes!
