Motive! Motive! Motive!

[El Supremo]

Sure, we have a long list of this administration's crimes. But a court of law and a Senate Jury would only see *'s wrongdoings as stupid ineptitude unless there were criminal motives behind them.

So what were *'s motives?

Here is my list:

Invade Iraq -
To avenge Saddam's assassination attempt on Daddy.
To finish off what Daddy didn't in 1991.
To control the oil market (not very successful so far).
To deliberately start the "end of times".

Cut taxes -
Pay-back to all his rich cronies.

Ignore Social Programs and New Orleans' disaster -
Widen the gap between the rich and the poor, making a new slave society.

What can you add?

1. Open up markets when old terrorists become new friends.

This is from last Summer...

Moving people across the globe


About 70 percent of Boeing Commercial Airplanes' sales come from outside the United States—and the business unit considers the Middle East especially key. Consider, for example, the fact that Dubai International Airport—the region's largest and a major transportation hub—last year reported 13 percent growth in passenger traffic. The facility's ongoing multibillion dollar construction project is a testament to its success. It's projected that by 2010, 60 million passengers are expected to pass through its gates. And Dubai-based Emirates' order of up to 13 777-300ERs, announced during the Farnborough International Airshow in July, is yet another indication of the growth happening here.

"When you're looking at the end of a resource extraction economy," said Teal Group analyst Richard Aboulafia of Dubai's reduced dependence on oil income, "you look for a service economy—something that leverages educated manpower—and then you look at your natural resources. Of course, you've got weather, so you might attract people if you build sun and sand places. Geography is on their side, too."

2. I must admit this has worried me

It's asinine to think one man could be so inept that he doesn't know half of what Bush** already insists he didn't know was going on. That's why I'm not so much interested in motive as evidence of his specific knowledge, because from the looks of things, if he is investigated, Rove, Cheney et al have built in ample 'reason of doubt' in attempt to protect dimson.

It's going to be quite a job to get to him.

3. Downing Street Memo!!!!! And said that he would have invaded

even if there had been no WMDs. He said it. He meant it. and he should be impeached for it!!!

4. "control the oil"

the issue was not to immediately exploit Iraq's oil.

In fact, it's to keep most of it OFF the market, to increase the Kuwaiti and Saudi profits. Then later, when the Duwaiti and Saudi supplies dwindle, to still control Iraq's oil and make more money expoloiting it. It's a strategy to maximize revenue from remaining oil reserves.

the bush crime gang is extremely loyal to the Saudis and Kuwaitis.
