Someone at the Christianity board posted this, so please DON'T JUMP ON ME!!!! I just want to get some thoughts on it, as it seems sort of Orwellian to me... <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< Equal time ...... Uni-Agdistis 08/03/04 Bush or Kerry ....Kerry or Bush. . Bush Planned Iraq 'Regime Change' Before Becoming President By Neil Mackay 15 September 2002: A SECRET blueprint for US global domination reveals that President Bush and his cabinet were planning a premeditated attack on Iraq to secure 'regime change' even before he took power in January 2001. The blueprint, uncovered by the Sunday Herald, for the creation of a 'global Pax Americana' was drawn up for Dick Cheney (now vice- president), Donald Rumsfeld (defence secretary), Paul Wolfowitz (Rumsfeld's deputy), George W Bush's younger brother Jeb and Lewis Libby (Cheney's chief of staff). The document, entitled Rebuilding America's Defences: Strategies, Forces And Resources For A New Century, was written in September 2000 by the neo-conservative think-tank Project for the New American Century (PNAC). The plan shows Bush's cabinet intended to take military control of the Gulf region whether or not Saddam Hussein was in power. It says: 'The United States has for decades sought to play a more permanent role in Gulf regional security. While the unresolved conflict with Iraq provides the immediate justification, the need for a substantial American force presence in the Gulf transcends the issue of the regime of Saddam Hussein.'

Clarification/Follow-up by SanchoPanza on 08/04/04 3:09 pm: The USA and Aid. When the world's governments met at the Earth summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, they adopted a programme for action under the auspices of the United Nations -- Agenda 21. Amongst other things, this included an Official Development Assistance (ODA) aid target of 0.7% of gross national product (GNP) for rich nations, roughly 22 members of the OECD (Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development), known as the Development Assistance Committee USA's aid, in terms of percentage of their GNP is already lowest of any industrialized nation in the world, though paradoxically in the last three years, their dollar amount has been the highest. The USA being a large and vey rich country provide more aid (valued in its own currency) nany other, however in comparative terms the USA is the 22nd biggest provider of aid calculated as a percentage of GDP, at0.145 of DP it falls far short of the target of 0.7% that is only met by five countries. When you consider that over 3 billion dollars of "aid" is provided to Israel as military hardware the reality of America's "aid" becomes clearer. This kind of aid actually benefits the doner because it is used to purchase their own products. Under a reiprocal agreement Eygpt receives as much aid as Israel in monetary terms, so one third of the aid the US "gives" is conditional to Israel buying arms from the USA. If this conditional aid is discounted then the total aid provided by the in 2003 was less than 0.1% of GDP. At the World Economic Forum in New York, February 2002, “[U.S. Senator Patrick] Leahy noted that two-thirds of US government aid goes to only two countries: Israel and Egypt. Much of the remaining third is used to promote US exports or to fight a war against drugs that could only be won by tackling drug abuse in the United States.” That's the reality of US "aid" in a nutshell.

It's strange isn't i. The USA thinks that it should be standard procedure to compile plans to overthrow other government should the oppertunity arise but should any evidnce off such a plan being formed by any other country the reaction would be to destroy them. The invasion of foregn nation states is entirely against the principals of the United Nations yet the USA constantly plots to do just this, while retaining a seat on the permenant security council. With its go it alone attitude the US is fast becoming the world's foremost rogue nation. Soon it will overtake Israel.
