"I don't think anybody could have predicted that they would try to use an airplane as a missile, a hijacked airplane as a missile."

A More Dangerous Agenda

Bojinka’ ‘loud bang’ — the code name bin Laden operatives had given to an audacious plan to hijack 11 U.S. airliners simultaneously and fly them into various targets in the U.S. was known to the FBI and other federal agencies as early as 1995.  With the pretense of internal security vanquished by terrorists of our own making, we deserve an apology from the U.S. Government for its arrogance, complicity and ineptitude as an accessory for this attack...

 

9/11 Chair: Attack Was Preventable

"This was not something that had to happen."

  • "How is it possible we have a national security advisor coming out and saying we had no idea they could use planes as weapons when we had FBI records from 1991 stating that this is a possibility," said Kristen Breitweiser, one of four New Jersey widows who lobbied Congress and the president to appoint the commission. >>> Read the Story

From the NOV-DEC 2004 EARLY WARNING REPORT

I'm often asked what Bush should have done after 9-11.
    The Saudi royal family are the most powerful gangsters in the Islamic world. Bush should have said to them, give us everyone involved in the attack, plus all the evidence. The ones our courts find guilty will be executed.
    In exchange, he should have said, we will reverse the foreign policy begun in the 1940s. We will sever all political and military connections throughout the Islamic world. We will become completely neutral, withdraw all our troops, and cease our meddling in Islamic affairs.
    We will never again offer money, weapons or military training to killers such the Shah of Iran, the Saudi royal family, Hosni Mubarak in Egypt, Boris Yeltsin in Russia, or Musharraf in Pakistan. We will go home and leave you alone.
    These are, incidentally, measures Washington should have taken decades ago, even in the absence of a war, on grounds of ethics alone.
    Would the Saudi royal thugs have declined the offer? Would they have said to a billion Muslims, no deal, we want the US government to stay in the Mideast?
    Maybe. But if they did, I think they'd all very quickly have been hanging from lampposts.
    Instead, Bush immediately chose war, and now tens of thousands have been killed and wounded in a conflict that is not likely to end in our lifetimes.
    War should always be the last resort, not the first. Odds are very high that eventually each of us will know one or more young men or women who will be horribly maimed or killed in this debacle.
    However, the beauty of the plan Bush should have used from the beginning is, it's still available. At any time, the President can deliver that offer to the Saudi dictators.
    If the offer does not work, he can always continue the war, so why not give it a try? What's to lose?

Terrorism: The Way Forward

georgewashington.jpg (2156 bytes)"It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world... As avenues to foreign influence in innumerable ways, such attachments are particularly alarming to the truly enlightened and independent Patriot. How many opportunities do they afford to tamper with domestic factions, to practise the arts of seduction, to mislead public opinion, to influence or awe the Public Councils… Harmony, liberal intercourse with all nations, are recommended by policy, humanity, and interest. But even our commercial policy should hold an equal and impartial hand; neither seeking nor granting exclusive favors or preferences...constantly keeping in view, that it is folly in one nation to look for disinterested favors from another; that it must pay with a portion of its independence for whatever it may accept under that character; that, by such acceptance, it may place itself in the condition of having given equivalents for nominal favors, and yet of being reproached with ingratitude for not giving more. There can be no greater error than to expect or calculate upon real favors from nation to nation. It is an illusion, which experience must cure, which a just pride ought to discard."

---George Washington’s Farewell Address, September 17, 1796

 
"The United States goes not abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is a well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own. If the United States took up all foreign affairs, it would become entangled in all the wars of interest and intrigue, which assume the colors and usurp the standard of freedom. She might become the dictatress of the world. She would be no longer the ruler of her own soul."

---President John Quincy Adams

U.S. Army War College Study Blasts Iraq War

Bounding the Global War on Terrorism

Dr. Jeffrey Record, December 2003

The views expressed in this report are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the Department of the Army, the Department of Defense, or the U.S. Government.
 
SUMMARY
 
The author examines three features of the war on terrorism as currently defined and conducted: (1) the administration's postulation of the terrorist threat, (2) the scope and feasibility of U.S. war aims, and (3) the war's political, fiscal, and military sustainability. He believes that the war on terrorism--as opposed to the campaign against al-Qaeda--lacks strategic clarity, embraces unrealistic objectives, and may not be sustainable over the long haul. He calls for downsizing the scope of the war on terrorism to reflect concrete U.S. security interests and the limits of American military power.

Supreme Court Rules American Homes Can Now Be Seized for Private Use - The Supreme Court ruled today that local governments have broad power to confiscate private property in the name of "economic development."

California Libertarian near the front in crowded San Diego mayoral race - "Only in San Diego would we expect a Libertarian to be in the front of the pack," said Michael Marcotte, moderator of a KCBS panel -- televised on May 27 -- about the candidates in the San Diego, Calif., mayoral race.

Patriot Reauthorization Act a Danger to Liberty - Libertarian Party Calls on Congress to Show Common Sense and Vows to Fight for America

Funding for the UN: Don't mend it; end it
[December 3] The ongoing scandal over the Oil-for-Food program should cause Americans to ask: Why is the government funding the United Nations in the first place? No one should be surprised that the Oil-for-Food program has been used to grease the palms of corrupt politicians, because waste and fraud have long been rampant in the UN bureaucracy. » Read the press release

Free-market environmentalism
[October 19] In 2002, the state of Georgia gave $28,146,687 in grants to counties and cities around the state, to be used for the preservation of "green space." The assumption, of course, is that tax money must be used for environmental preservation because people won't otherwise protect their environment. But are such programs really necessary? To hear bureaucrats and pro-big government environmentalist cheerleaders tell the tale, you'd think Americans are willing to sacrifice the earth's future for a few bucks. » Read the op-ed
