... Why do we not have Osama bin Laden, THE leader of the 9/11 attack, in custody and on trial, or already executed? I have yet to hear ANY satisfactory answer on that from ANY one, only excuses, and counter charges to distract us from that question.



Bayern,

Because he (Bin Laden) and WMD where the EXCUSE for subsequent events, not the OBJECTIVE.

Like I said in my sole and somewhat lengthy previous post, it's all about INTERESTS.

Condoleezza Rice was in Athens two days ago and met with our government officials in order to win support in the UN Security council regarding the Iran issue.

I watched her press conference and it more or less boiled down to this:

a/ Iran's threats and that the US Government left all options on the table.
b/ That Iran and Russia control natural gas etc.
c/ That if Iran cuts it's supplies off that Russia will be left as a monopoly.
d/ That we need to advance policies in the region (Middle East) that will increase stability and install democracy.

Now why do these statements resemble the CHEVRON advert I quoted in my initial post?

Man, I'm going to stick to reading adverts henceforth, they tell it like it is before even the Secretary of State does.

What's next?
You'll see the US and Russia form a strategic alliance (thus dumping Iran) even though Nicholas Burns has failed to date.

Watch this space.
