[New Secular Order] Fake Terrorism:The Road To Dictatorship: Iraq had long been trying to acquire greater access to the Persian Gulf, and felt limited confined to a narrow strip of land along Kuwait’s northern border, which placed Iraqi interests in close proximity with hostile Iran.
[EZ READING MONEY MATTERS] Understanding The Hubbert Oil War Peak: By the end of 2007, it was also apparent that the Saudis no longer believed they could substantially affect prices by increasing production. Now, Saudi oil experts believe that the price run-up is due to such factors as investor speculation, the weak dollar and limited output from such key producers as Iraq, Iran and Venezuela.
[Clark Larsen's Op-Ed Page] Lies from the left: In June 2008, Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential candidate wrote a letter to the Secretary of Defense in which he asked: [in view of the statistic that suicide rates among American troops have risen] “What changes will you make to provide our soldiers in theater with real access to mental health care?” “What training has the Pentagon provided our medical professionals in theater to recognize who might be at risk of committing suicide?”
[fateswebb] Ron Paul: Some Observations on Four Terms in Congress, September ...: We condemn the use of poison gas by Iraq at the same time we aid Iraq, along with the Soviets, in preventing an Iranian victory, forgetting that Iraq started the war. Inconsistently, the administration pressures Congress to manufacture new nerve gas so we have something with which to go to the Soviets and draw up some unworkable treaty regarding war gases.
[Pragmatic Euphony] India, China and the US: Encouraging India’s role as a counter to China, the U.S. has stepped up exercises with the Indian navy and last year sold it an American warship for the first time, the 17,000-ton amphibious transport dock USS Trenton. American defense contractors ?
[Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture | Your Home for Traditional Conservatism] Buchanan and Churchill: Saddam Hussein, whose army was routed in 100 hours in 1991 and who had not shot down a U.S. plane in forty thousand sorties, becomes “an Arab Hitler” abut to roll up the Persian Gulf and threaten mankind with ‘weapons of mass destruction.’”
[Gary Rumor] The Rich Love The Rich: And if the US gets serious about energy independence, and responsible action as a member of the world community in cutting green house gas emissions and developing alternatives to the war machine for fuel, then there may be a brighter future, but first we have to get his attention, and that means taking is mind away from the Saudi princes and the other rich who now rule the world. We must for our own survival.
[Science & Global Security] Iraq And The Global System Of Power: It should also not go unmentioned that another key objective in Iraq is the desire to institute permanent military bases right at the heart of the world’s most significant energy resources.Indeed, the terms of the continued US military presence in Iraq are currently being negotiated in Baghdad and it is clear that the US seeks some form of permenant military foothold. It is for this reason that the notion that the invasion occurred as a part of some Israeli agenda, as suggested by Arthur Schlesinger and most recently John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt, cannot possibly be correct.
[Baka New Mexican's Blog Full of Analysis Paralysis] Sayounara, Kitty Hawk...: However, those who filed the law suit did have a good point questioning the safety about nuclear-powered ships since there was a reported fire on the USS George Washington that is still being investigated.

Moen, Ph.D.] Japan’s Political and Constitutional Crossroads: The poll that found 77 percent against changing Article 9 is a bit suspect, since they stood outside of train stations asking people to put stickers on a board reflecting their view, and people who supported changing Article 9 would avoid a public display like that, I would think, so it lacks the weight of a telephone poll, but the polls have been fairly consistent over the last year, showing that many think the constitution needs to be changed (I think to a large extent they think the Self Defense Force needs to be incorporated into the constitution), but that the principles of Article 9 should be left untouched. It would be great if someone were to come up with an effective counter-proposal that galvanized people around those ideas.
