Did the Pentagon just call Bush dumb or just say he was wrong?

Question

Mark Townsend and Paul Harris in New York
Sunday February 22, 2004
The Observer
Climate change over the next 20 years could result in a global catastrophe costing millions of lives in wars and natural disasters.A secret report, suppressed by US defence chiefs and obtained by The Observer, warns that major European cities will be sunk beneath rising seas as Britain is plunged into a 'Siberian' climate by 2020. Nuclear conflict, mega-droughts, famine and widespread rioting will erupt across the world. The document predicts that abrupt climate change could bring the planet to the edge of anarchy as countries develop a nuclear threat to defend and secure dwindling food, water and energy supplies. The threat to global stability vastly eclipses that of terrorism, say the few experts privy to its contents. 'Disruption and conflict will be endemic features of life,' concludes the Pentagon analysis. 'Once again, warfare would define human life.

Answer 1

Ha ha ha! The pentagon called Bush dumb! They did it! They said he was dumb AND HE IS DUMB!

edit:
Mat D is mad because you said Bush is dumb.

Answer 2

I assume you're speaking of the report by Randall and Schwartz? No one's suppressing it. The reason you haven't seen it in the news is because it's OLD news; it was in the news, it was just four years ago. The British kind of misconstrued the purpose of the report though. The authors even admit that their scenario is unlikely, but still possible enough to take into consideration. Here's an article about it from a few years ago: http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2004/02/25/MNG0O57R4R1.DTL

Here, you can read the entire report, it's linked on this page in PDF form: http://www.gbn.com/ArticleDisplayServlet.srv?aid=26231

And here is the video of Schwartz talking about it on the History Channel, plus their dramatization of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xR7hQJUUTo

Answer 3

Nobody can of course prove this won't happen. Myself, I doubt it. Notwithstanding we should hope that we get out of this phony 'war' towards real measures to control and reduce GHG emissions. Unfortunately there are a lot of people in America who do not accept the science (as far as it goes which is just a trend not accurate predictions) and a lot in Europe who have no stomach for anything that would affect their way of life.

Answer 4

I'm sure if you dug deep enough you'll even find contingencies for an attack from vampires or zombies:

OK, the last two were jokes, but the point is to not make too much over alleged "secret" data.

Answer 5

I wouldn't trust any U.S. "Secret Report" that just happened to fall in the Observer's hands. Real secret U.S. documents NEVER fall into the wrong hands...It's probably just one more of many scenarios of that sort that the U.S. guys have recieved and decided was safe to leak to the press to keep them happy for a while...

Answer 6

Did you check the date on this piece of nonsense. If you had you would realize it was a very ham handed attempt to influence the last U.S. presidential election.

Answer 7

Have you been to any oceans lately. Have you noticed that the sea levels have not risen noticeably over the last decade? Why do you believe this clap trap. Get a clue. They are fooling you.

Answer 8

The Pentagon has plans to invade Canada.They plan for anything and everything. They even planed for the Avian Flu Pandemic and SARS. (Remember how they were going to destroy the world a couple years back?)

Answer 9

TRASH...............trash, trash, trash, trash, trash, trash,trash, trash, Got the picture?
