This pretty much says we went to war because the Administration wanted to.

Whats also interesting is Rumsfield created his own intelligence agency within the Department of Defense because the administration didnt like the answers it was getting from the CIA. The CIA claimed their wasnt enough evidence to go to war. Rumsfield agency tried to find what ever support they could to go to war with Iraq.

Sounds alot like the SS in Nazi Germany....

Its a very interesting read.

I cant stand the style of language its written in. Sorry, ill have to skip it.

Well from the general sound of it you (america) has just discovered what a lot of europeans know for a loooong time already.

...there's so much misinformation about the Branch Davidian thing.

Allegations of child abuse.
Allegations of drug production.

none of which have a shred of proof. In fact, since most people died, and the few that didn't could easily have been strong armed into saying whatever the government wanted them to ("confess that koresh touched your asshole or we charge you with 11 counts of shooting a police officer"), I seriously doubt anyting about that whole affair.

All I know is, if I woke up at 5am and saw a bunch of armed people crawling around on my roof, I'd shoot their asses too.

Like I said, I'm not very informed on the matter so I reserve the right of making ignorant remarks.

besides, I'm not a big fan of communes living in the country on a stack of weapons. Maybe it's a cultural thing, but meh.

What's funny tho is that I've seen documentaries on other such 'communes' living out in the middle of nowhere armed to the teeth which seemed like a MUCH bigger threat than these fellas. Talking a whole die-hard white power fascist camp with total nazi adoration and stuff. It's kinda funny that they don't get a 'visit' from the authorities, and a wannabe guru does.
