Why We Did It

[D23MIURG23]

Just in case you don't have cable or missed it last night.

Watch. Now.

1. Thanks

I didn't get to see the whole thing last night... no TeeVee and not involved in social media forum stuff.

3. I echo that "Thank you!"

I began watching, but was so exhausted from shovelling snow, I drifted off.

4. So it was about OIL?

No shit!

5. Right, not a surprising conclusion.

But its good seeing it acknowledged in internal documents and sources IMO, and its good seeing Rachel Maddow bring the issue back into the spotlight. Preferable to amnesia and/or plausible deniability.

10. I do not even get vindication

I do not believe I learned any thing new. Old hat.
But I sure wish this was posted before I retired, I
worked with a bunch of hardcore republicans. The
only thing they put above being a Republican was
<b>their</b> Catholic Church.

I have added this video to my library, thanks for posting.

I did not catch Rachel last night and for some reason
her repeat was not on at 6a. Am I missing something?

8. The one that I linked on youtube only had one.

I'm not sure how MSNBC is planning on releasing it. Its about 30 min of content total.

12. Global Fascism and Privatize should be a wake-up to Americans now.

Oil Policy of Obama: If drilling on American leases is not started, then the lease on government lands will be terminated. Energy Policy of the Elitist: we will have a private pipeline and refinery system and export the oil under our feet in what ever country that we desire to decimate or destroy.

This alternative would have kept the privatization of Iraq and American from happening. We are facing privatization on all institutional fronts removing our democracy. Removing the peace in Iraq, lead to armed conflict. How far will Conservative voters take us down the same road?

I fear the time that a fascist, privatizer, Bible swearing, serial killer extremist is elected President. America had better wake up.

Thanks for reminding us about the two-sided, two-faced politicians and fascists of the World.

13. Very disappointing...

Rachel covered only a narrow view of what happened. She did not mention PNAC, she did not mention the world's biggest embassy which is now our air base there, she did not mention that Russia and China have the biggest oil contracts now. It wasn't just about oil. It was all about the international military industrial complex.

14. Unless I missed it I did not hear the term 'petrodollar'

amazing absence in my book.
