It seems the Neo-cons have achieved all their objectives, and then some.
1. Bin Laden NOT captured or killed, so he's available to pull out and rattle whenever needed.
Surely the Afghan war couldn't have been planned THAT badly?
2. AQ active and operating out of Pakistan
- Useful for widening the 'War on Terror' and extending Homeland security legislation
- A handy excuse should the US run out of countries to bomb, 'they have nukes and Bin Ladens there! Go go go!'
3. Saddam's Iraq broken. One of the few regional powers is no longer able to challenge Israel. With Iraq in a perpetual state of chaos, or broken into multiple pieces, it should never be the case again.
4. Mayhem in Iraq, Halliburton making billions hand over fist. Don't tell me this wasn't the plan when Rumsfeld rejected the advice on how many troops would be needed to keep the place stable.
5. Oil over $100/barrel. Dubya and his buddies the Saudis coining it big time. Know how to gold plate a Hummer? There are a hundred guys in Qatar who want one for each of their wives.
Struggling to buy gas to get to work? Too bad you're not one of the 'haves or have mores'.
6. Iran sucked into the Iraqi quagmire, now the US has an excuse to nuke them - Then they won't be a bother to Israel.
7. The rapture brought a few steps closer
Anyone not believe this was the plan all along and the WMD thing was a crock of poo?
