afx: When you look at the sums of money necessary to buy (and, let’s be honest, that’s exactly what’s happening) the Presidency, it becomes patently obvious who and what are behind the scenes.
arraya: Talk to anyone in SOF and they’ll tell you that bin Laden was killed sometime in 2002 in a cave in caused by an airstrike. This was never confirmed, because they couldn’t recover the bodies, but rumor has it that an airstrike caused a cave in somewhere in the Tora Bora region that killed 100 – 200 al Qaeda and Taliban members.
Breeze: You can fulminate against the Republicans all you want, but read your history. From the beginning, and I mean the absolute beginning, it’s been about the money. The original draft of the Constitution contained the phrase “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Property” (it was subsequently amended). Louisiana Purchase, Lewis & Clark (who were searching for trade routes as part of their mandate), Manifest Destiny, “Gunboat Diplomacy”, all of it. The United States has always been a going concern.
