[EDIT]

so i came across an interesting article today
and i want to know what you all think of this clip form the article

Why the War?

Why did we stage a pre-emptive war in the first place? What was the real agenda? And why aren't the media investigating this? On August l0, former war commander General Tommy Franks - in a talk only reported by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency and not picked up by major media - said:

"The reason we could not afford to give up time is because we wanted the water infrastructure to remain in place," Franks said. "We wanted the oil infrastructure in Iraq to remain in place. We did not want to subject ourselves and Israel to the potential consequence of a long-range missile being fired into Tel Aviv or Jerusalem."

How much media time and energy were spent investigating the Israeli connection to the war? How much time on military preparedness or the "plan" that got us into Baghdad quickly and then stirred a hornet's nest of resistance? How many of our media experts, pundits, experts, prognosticators and Mensa Men prepared us for what was to happen next?
