		<description>&quot;If the nuclear armed USA hadn&#039;t joined in WW2 in Europe do you think Stalins army would have stopped at Berlin?&quot;

With Rudolf Hess &#039;dropping in&#039; on Churchill 2 weeks before operation Barbarossa kilcked off? Absolutely not. Churchill manouvred the US into joining WWII by &#039;encouraging&#039; the 3rd Reich to invade the USSR and letting his 2 arch enemies tear each other apart, before his less than eager allies cleaned up the mess.

Cost Britain a fortune in loss of Imperial Preference and IP rights to the gas turbine &amp; early computer, but saved the world from totalitarianism of one shade or another. The US certainly sat back and wrung as good a deal out of us as was possible before doing the neccessary. And who can blame &#039;em?

AWB &#039;knew Iraq plans a year before&#039;  (http://tinyurl.com/ymzqx5 )
AAP 23 November 2006

A YEAR before the invasion of Iraq, the then Australian ambassador to the United Nations, John Dauth, confidentially told AWB&#039;s former chairman Trevor Flugge the Howard Government would participate in military action with the US to overthrow Saddam Hussein, new AWB documents reveal.

AWB Board minutes show Mr Flugge told the AWB board on February 27, 2002, that Mr Dauth confided in him that he believed US military action to depose Saddam Hussein was inevitable and that the Australian Government would support and participate in such action, Fairfax newspapers report.

The documents, released at the Cole inquiry yesterday, undercut previous statements by Prime Minister John Howard that Australia did not agree to join the war before the UN debate in late 2002 and early 2003.

The conversation between Mr Dauth and Mr Flugge is reported to have taken place 13 months before the military action began.

Mr Dauth also predicted Iraq would invite UN weapons inspectors to return to the country to hold off any US military action for a year to 18 months.

The former UN ambassador also promised he would give Mr Flugge as much warning as possible about when the military action would begin, Fairfax reports.

Start digging, and researching, you are on the right tracks now!

How about £5 billion of our tax money never mind the US tax payers  $344,345,904,805?  (who got to hoard the boxes of money that were found in Saddam&#039;s palaces, and later flown out?  What happened to the $10 billion dollars in the oil for food fund in UN?)


If the funds were to be diverted directly, then a case for fraud and misappropriation would have been made.  Indirect money shuffling is a different story, however, there is the blood price that the poor victims pay.

Further, start checking out various aspects of the racket, and gradually you will see a pattern emerging.


PS. don&#039;t waste time with; the pompous virtual incarnation of Hyacinth Bucket, the noisy one, and the oh so super ones.  Get on with exploring the data on tap in the cyberspace. Unless you want to tune in to BBC, and drop out!  (or even worse the sky news, or for torture there is always &#039;fair and balanced&#039; Foxaganda )

If the nuclear armed USA hadn&#039;t joined in WW2 in Europe do you think Stalins army would have stopped at Berlin?

What would have stopped him taking the rest or war weary Western Europe?

		<description>&quot;word salad&quot; - I love it cap&#039;n, very amusingly put and if y&#039;all will forgive me I&#039;m just catching up from Mel&#039;s last post as I want to retain my meagre grip on reality, so if I&#039;ve missed anything, just assume I was out getting a life and meeting someone tall, dark, handsome and utterly fascinating (which I was).

Newmania - it wasn&#039;t Prezza. And how an intelligent being like yourself can come out with &quot;our peace and security is guaranteed by America&quot; is puzzling - can you substantiate that claim?

		<description>More dubious and selective Bush bashing I see. I think Idlex is right about the roots of war . I read a very convincing book about it showing that the actions of brigands and knights were not always so clearly defined. Privateers  are good example of a midway point , or the Viking &quot;Invasions&quot; . Sadaam Hussein&#039;s wars and the incursions of the Germans into Europe are obviously attempts to steal &quot;lebensraum&quot; . We clearly have to defend ourselves .
Our defence is bound up with alliances the most meaningful of which, by far , is that with the US . Suggestions for an alternative will be welcomed, if only to be scoffed at.
It is not possible to wage war or conduct foreign policy with one hand behind your back , her US is already severely constrained by the  free press and democracy it has . I wonder if it is for this reason that America seems hypocritical , having to defend freedom  by any means necessary  but also standing for freedom.

The sneers of countries like France and to some extent this country  are not always lovely to behold as our peace and security is guaranteed by America
