Hello Harel, and thanks for posting the NY Times article on the NSC's plans to bomb Iraq.  I agree -- this scheme may have EVERYTHING to do with getting Bush re-elected.  But NOT in the way this article suggests!

You see, everyone knows that Bush won't win any popularity contests with a cynical, convention-week bombing raid on Bagdad.  But if Bush leaves Bagdad ALONE in the coming weeks, it could DEFINITELY cost him the election!

LOOK AT THE PROPOSED TARGETS!!!  The Iraqi Agriculture Ministry Building and the War Industrialization Headquarters!

What kind of documents in those buildings is the Bush administration so keen to SHRED with 750# bombs???

I think the motive for this action is OBVIOUS:  The BCCI/Banca Lavoro/US Agricultural Loan program -- and the billions of US taxpayer dollars diverted to Iraq or scammed away as loan guarantees -- all via the Bush/Kissinger Associates crew.

Even worse, I think we should at least admit the possibility that kickbacks from these stolen taxpayer dollars passed thru the hands of "money-mules" in the U.S. Diplomatic Service.  By "money-mules" I mean:  April Glaspie (Bush ex-mistress and Ambassador to Iraq) to Jennifer Fitzgerald (supposed Bush mistress and protocol officer in Switzerland).  Sealed diplomatic pouches could have provided a completely secure means of accomplishing this.

Could this INCRIMINATING PAPER TRAIL be Saddam Hussein's insurance policy?  Could there be RECIPTS for cash given to US diplomatic personnel?  Records of Bank Letters of Credit with Swiss account numbers?  Or Hong Kong sealed accounts??

Is this the reason Saddam is alive today?  Does it account for the Bush administration's growing fear of this tyrant?  Perhaps the Bush/Scowcroft team miscalculated, thinking that the Iraqis would dispatch Saddam and take care of the problem for them, while remaining ignorant of Saddam's business dealings and American bribes.  But that didn't happen, and now the world's nastiest dictator has the goods on his old business partners, just before a close election.

The connection of Brent Scowcroft, Henry Kissinger, Bush, possible money-mule April Glaspie, possible Swiss Banking contact Jennifer Fitzgerald is interesting to say the least.

B-52s == document shredders???

Best,
  Clark
