Pentagon Whistleblower on the Coming War with Iran & Why Bush Admin Is HAPPY With Iraq

Karen Kwiatkowski: Well, a big part of what happens is these guys have top cover. The names of the top cover are Dick Cheney and George W. Bush. These guys like what Wolfowitz has done, and here’s the other thing: while we as American citizens do not like being lied to, particularly being lied into a stupid quagmire that makes no sense, we don’t like being lied to—Congress doesn’t like being lied to. However, many in Congress, and certainly in this administration, agree—and this is Democrats and Republicans—like the idea that we have gone into Iraq.

We have built four megabases, they are complete. Most of the money we gave to Halliburton was for construction and completion of these bases. We have, probably, of the hundred and 50 or 60 thousand troops, we have in Iraq—probably 110,000 of those folks are associated with one of those four megabases, safely ensconced behind acres and acres of concrete, to operate there indefinitely, no matter what happens in Baghdad, no matter who takes over, no matter if the country splits into three pieces or stays one—no matter what happens, we have those megabases.

And there’s many in Congress, and certainly in this administration, Republican and Democrat alike, that really like that. Part of the reason I think that we went into Iraq was to reestablish a stronger foothold than we had in Saudi Arabia, but also a more economical, a more flexible—in terms of who we want to hit—If you want to hit Syria, well can you do it from Iraq? Of course you can, and now you can do it from bases that will support any type of airplane you want, any number of troops in barracks, I mean we can do things from Iraq, and this is what they wanted. Yeah, we don’t like being lied to, but quite frankly, many people in the Congress, and certainly this administration, when they call Iraq a success, they mean it and this is why.

We’re in Iraq to stay, and can we strike Iran from Iraq? Well, I don’t know if we’ll do that next week, but we can.

But many of us suspected that was the true goal all along, and it does explain why so few in DC seem seriously interested in bringing our troops home.

Doesn't matter, as long as we're at war.

I keep wanting to pinch myself hard enough to wake up from this terrible nightmare I've been dreaming since falling asleep reading Orwell's 1984.

Watch this interview.
:toast:

everyone MUST watch that interview. I always knew this Iraq thing was bullshit from the get go, but still wondered WHY? and what were they really doing it for? I mean beyond the simple--but obviously true--answer of "to get the oil." She lays it out at the very end, clear and concise. The whole time I'm watching this, I'm thinking, she's dead, she's a dead woman, she knows too much. She names names, she specifically details how and who pulled this off. and you know the people behind this are not going to let her get the word out. very scary stuff.

in Iraq and Iran but we have to get the fuck out..to save our blood and treasure and see the look on those fuckheads' collective face.

I am not surprised at all . You see the dems had to know about the huge bases , if we did , they did . They have to know most everything by now .

It's all a game for the power and oil which it's nature .
