Is the new war part of the all-encompassing Global War on Terror?

[Philosoraptor]

And therefore part and parcel of the Project for the New American Century?

Since the "conflict" has no official name yet, it needs one, and it would certainly fit nicely into president Cheney's overall objective of middle eastern domination.

Israel claims it is going after terrorists, is this what democracy means post W?

1. Look through the forums today and you will see references to.........

.....the possibility that the present war between Israel and Lebanon could be tied to water.

I'd be curious to know where all the oil wells and water sources are throughout the ME.

I'll bet that information would explain everything and might even explain the whole terror thing. OK, I'm going to put on the :tinfoilhat: and ask if anyone knows if 9/11 could have been in retaliation for oil or water?? I'm probably waaaaaay off base here.

Here are just some of the water links I saved.........

2. I love how the larger, more powerful country gets to call

the other side terrorists and it makes their killings somehow better.

3. I believe its all part of the plan...and meanwhile, stay tuned for it to

end up justifying pre-emptive attacks all throughout the world, all in the name of "The War on Terror"....

And when Bush orders us into more action beyond Iraq, he and his administration will argue that its all under the authority that was granted to him....

And, just remember, if Bush interprets the definition of pre-emptive attacks to "defend" as being justified, then so can every country....
