I've read that many times over the years. And I believe it 100%. I don't put anything past our govt. including back in the 1940's
But now we don't even pretend to follow our constitution and the checks and balances of our laws anymore to restrain the govt's power.
And bottom line is this: Libya didn't invade anybody. They didn't attack us. They didn't attack any or our allies that we signed defense treaties with.
There are more people being slaughtered in an hour in Darfur...yet we just watch that go by...as we SHOULD. But when there is oil involved? Now we're gonna roll with it? And if it isn't the oil, then WHAT is it that makes one shitty god-forsaken country full of people that hate us more "deserving" of us bombing them than another?
I don't want my tax money spent for that. But they didn't ask me for permission. lol
