Did Bush start World War III?
Delta Force founder: Bush may have started World War III

RAW STORY
Published: Friday March 24, 2006

A founding member of the elite counter-terrorist unit, Delta Force, suggested that President Bush's invasion of Iraq may have started World War III, according to an interview set for Saturday's Los Angeles Daily News, RAW STORY has learned.

snip-

Q: What's your assessment of the war in Iraq?

A: Utter debacle. But it had to be from the very first. The reasons were wrong. The reasons of this administration for taking this nation to war were not what they stated. (Army Gen.) Tommy Franks was brow-beaten and ... pursued warfare that he knew strategically was wrong in the long term. That's why he retired immediately afterward. His own staff could tell him what was going to happen afterward.

We have fomented civil war in Iraq. We have probably fomented internecine war in the Muslim world between the Shias and the Sunnis, and I think Bush may well have started the third world war, all for their own personal policies.

2. Bush wanted to cast the whole ME into chaos and reconstruct
them to fit his empirical corporate globalist world model.

It's not working.

6. And purposely so.
Were talking about individuals that think these steps will bring on the end of the world and that the chosen will be whisked off to heaven. Make no mistake, they want WW III.

But there are going to be some very disappointed people when they realize that The Rapture isn't going to take place because of their actions.

8. War Presidents don't come cheap.
Bush's POLITICAL WAR IN IRAQ. America and Iraq have traded a lot of blood for the political capital Bush has spent since November of 2002. Karl said that WAR is good for GOP politics, right before the 2002 election and he was right. Winning all three branches of the government was the prize that was worth starting a war for, to the neocon gang. Once they won the power in the senate Bush became untouchable and then after he stole the election in 2004 with the help of his war in Iraq he became an absolute ruler. Now the law don't apply to Bush! So I'd say Bush thinks all the killing was worth it! Too bad a third of the idiots in America still think it was worth it too.

9. What Bush started was wrong, but part of a long chain of events...
Edited on Sat Mar-25-06 12:28 AM by splat@14
WWIII, no. WWII and even WWI never ended just because some armistice was signed. We (the US) have been at war almost constantly from 1917 on. Some small, some big, none the less...all WARs. labeling them gives them the credit of being finite and serves no purpoes except to finish one and start another and call it good for a different reason....is all still WAR, and that, my friends is what we must stop!
SPLAT!

10. WW III, Maybe Not. Kicked Off Petrocollapse, Probably
If the region supplying 25% of current oil production, and holding 67% of the worlds proven reserves, along with equal amounts of natural gas, falls into civil strife, I don't know what any of the major powers could do, short of turning inward to control the unrest in their own countries.

Even a fairly short, limited war would tear up enough infrastructure to require 10 or more years to rebuild, if even possible.

On second thought, maybe Petrocollapse is WW III, considering it is going to have the same effect as a war.
