The big investigation is so far based on media reports. That hardly *proves* that those reports are the actual truth. They may well be, but jumping to conclusions because of anything the media reports means either that the jumper(s) have some etched-in-stone agenda to pursue, or are looking to make a little political hay.

By Joel Leyden
Israel News Agency
"...Jerusalem----April 2.....The American Jewish Congress today congratulated Paul Wolfowitz on his election as the president of the World Bank.
In Israel, The Jerusalem Post had selected Paul Wolfowitz as its Man of the Year for 2002. The Post stated: "On September 15, 2001, at a meeting in Camp David, Wolfowitz advised President George W. Bush to skip Kabul and train American guns on Baghdad.
"When President Bush says, "America will not permit the world's most dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world's most destructive weapons" -- that's Wolfowitz talking. When the president calls for "a new Arab charter that champions internal reform, greater political participation, economic openness and free trade" -- that's Wolfowitz's talking, too. ..."

If you think the true facts have been reported correctly you are kidding yourself. I work at a NASA facility that has been in the news. Most of what was printed wasn't the truth. And we aren't involved in partisan politics here. The media absolutely has a hard time getting the facts right.

War is obsolete.
Isn't there a better way to resolve global problems than by hitting/killing each other? I don't go around hitting my co-workers or being violent with them when they get out of line.
Geeeeeze.

Never doubted it. There's a lot of money to be made in a war, and for those who benefit, the loss of lives is inconsequential.

If your asking why we're at war I think it's now mainly about the oil over in Iraq.

Exxon Mobil needs their record profits, that's why..I wonder if Bin Laden is hanging out with Nicole Brown-Simpon's "real" killer, as OJ put it.

We're not at war in any legal sense of the word.
Congress never declared war.
The so-called "war on terror" is a marketing phrase, used to justify draconian and fascist intrusions against civil liberties. And, as you note, to justify paying private mercenary groups and awarding "war-time" contracts to corporations -- with politicians getting kick-backs.
