Operation Rockingham.

...& the cabal that spun for Blair.

Something more than the usual allegations of cherry picking evidence of WMD; A revelation that they even had a name for it, and it's been going since 1991.

The covert project was called Operation Rockingham and it was designed specifically to 'cherry-pick' information which pointed towards Saddam having a WMD stockpile that he could use imminently. Right up until the outbreak of war, the staff of Operation Rockingham, which was set up by the defence intelligence staff within the Ministry of Defence, deliberately overlooked 'mountains' of reports and intelligence documents which pointed towards Saddam destroying his arsenal and instead used 'selective intelligence' from just a tiny pool of data to create a false and misleading picture that the Iraqi ruler was a direct threat to the West.

Operation Rockingham became part of an effort to maintain a public mindset that Iraq was not in compliance with the inspections. They had to sustain the allegation that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, even though Unscom was showing the opposite.

... & the Cabal.

Ritter and other intelligence sources say Operation Rockingham and MI6 were supplying skewed information to the Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC) which, Tony Blair has told the Commons, was behind the intelligence dossiers that the government published to convince the parliament and the people of the necessity of war against Iraq. Sources in both the British and US intelligence community are now equating the JIC with the Office of Special Plans (OSP) in the US Pentagon. The OSP was set up by Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to gather intelligence which would prove the case for war. In a staggering attack on the OSP, former CIA officer Larry Johnson told the Sunday Herald the OSP was 'dangerous for US national security and a threat to world peace', adding that it 'lied and manipulated intelligence to further its agenda of removing Saddam'.

He added: 'It's a group of ideologues with pre-determined notions of truth and reality. They take bits of intelligence to support their agenda and ignore anything contrary. They should be eliminated.'

Johnson said that to describe Saddam as an 'imminent threat' to the West was 'laughable and idiotic'. He said many CIA officers were in 'great distress' over the way intelligence had been treated. 'We've entered the world of George Orwell,' Johnson added. 'I'm disgusted. The truth has to be told. We can't allow our leaders to use bogus information to justify war.'

No matter what else comes from this conflict it is blatantly obvious the reasons we were given to go to war were not the real reasons.

Is it becoming clearer what they were yet...?

Do you sit and say well the people are free, Saddam is evil, who cares let's get back to the regularly scheduled programme or do you ask why?

Israeli appeasement/ bargaining/ covert influence?

Deliberate and calculated and evidently well executed (so far..) plan; Another example of the path we're being pushed down and the relentless drive to the New American Century being driven by none other than the Architects themselves?

Any one of a million other much vaunted reasons?

Or, dare I say it, ....Oil?

Take your pick.

PNAC yes.

Well executed - hardly.

Unless as the Architect you believe that overt lying to the American populace will be forgiven, and that causing anti-American sentiment in every nation and not just Arabic nations, is an acceptable permanent by-product.

Short term fast buck, yes.
Long term presence for these corrupt bastards, no.

Question: repatriation of war profits to their rightful holders - how?

By well executed I mean it's worked so far hasn't it? They aren't perturbed by what they perceive as minor inconveniences like international condemnation, they're still in control of the situation and they know it.

I'm afraid the abject lying to the American public may well be forgiven, at the least ignored by the majority. They have no care for what the people say anyway. It will take a lot of lot of people shouting very loud to stop them.

"The interests behind the Bush Administration, such as the CFR, The Trilateral Commission - founded by Brzezinski for David Rockefeller - and the Bilderberger Group, have prepared for and are now moving to implement open world dictatorship within the next five years. They are not fighting against terrorists. They are fighting against citizens."

-- Dr. Johannes B. Koeppl, Ph.D., former German defense ministry official and advisor to former NATO Secretary General Manfred Werner

"Question: repatriation of war profits to their rightful holders - how?"

I'm not sure what your referring to.
