(LibertyThink.com) - Another shocking lesson in the attention span deficit of the American public reared its ugly head recently in an article by Walid Rabah entitled, "The Deal" in which was revealed how Bush and Rumsfeld traded American money and citizenship for the surrender of Baghdad.

"The deal includes, granting American citizenship and residency in the United States to some of the first echelon commanders (Republican Guards) and their families."

To many, this is being spun as Rumsfeld's brilliant propaganda campaign to take down Saddam's regime with minimal loss of life. This is all fine and good, until you remember the last time the United States attempted to resettle up to 4,000 Iraqi soldiers who surrendered during the Persian Gulf war. Consider the following:

Iraq POWS Paid to Resettle in US - Lawmakers Protest

Los Angeles Times 08/24/93 -- The United States has begun resettling in this country up to 4,000 Iraqi soldiers who surrendered during the Persian Gulf War, an effort that has drawn criticism from a coalition of congressmen who believe the prisoners are receiving special treatment never awarded returning American soldiers. The U.S. government is paying between $4,000 and $7,000 to relocate each of the enemy prisoners -- and in some cases their family members. They have been classified as refugees who would be harmed by Iraqi President Saddam Hussein if returned home.

Resettling Iraqi POWs in U.S. Criticized; Lawmakers Urge Clinton to End 'Potentially Dangerous'

Washington Post 08/25/93 -- Nearly 1,000 Iraqi soldiers captured by U.S. forces during the 1991 Persian Gulf War have been resettled at public expense in cities across the United States. They are among nearly 3,000 Iraqi refugees -- the majority of them civilians -- who have been resettled in the United States from internment camps in Saudi Arabia...

...More than 80 members of Congress have asked President Clinton to end what they called the "potentially dangerous and unfair policy" of resettling captured Iraqi soldiers in the United States along with deserving civilian Iraqi refugees.

..."When we dropped those leaflets on the [Iraqi] Republican Guard, we did not include a plane ticket to Middle America and welfare entitlement benefits. When those guys realized the war was lost, they changed into civilian clothes and surrendered, and now we're rolling out the red carpet," Stearns (Rep, R-Fla.) added in a telephone interview from Ocala, Fla.

You may also remember that a disproportionate number of these Iraqis and their families were planted in Oklahoma and Florida.

Many researchers have investigated the link between some of these "resettlers" and the tragic bombings of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City on May 16, 1996, and also links between these bombings and the attacks of 9-11.

In the recent past, attempts to link these individuals to Saddam Hussein has failed. Why? Perhaps because there isn't any link. There have however, been claims that these particular people are in "a series of cells that have been aided and abetted by the U.S. Government." Others have been asking more questions:

"Why did FBI agents, who were actually serving their country, arrest five members of the Iraqi Republican Guard involved in the Oklahoma City bombing only for their release to be ordered by Bill Clinton? Why were these Iraqis, who were initially trained in the US in the eighties, brought back in by George Bush senior in the early nineties?

Why did the FBI declare national security to prevent the release of the surveillance tapes that showed Iraqis crawling all over the OKC bomb scene?"

In more recent news:

"Most Iraqi immigrants are believed to be opposed to Saddam Hussein, but security chiefs are worried about those who cannot be traced, The Washington Post reported on Monday. (January 27, 2003)"

So as we attempt to go around this circle of history yet another time, let us remember how we got to where we are in the first place: On March 21, 2003, US House voted 392-11-22 that Iraq war is because of 9-11.

The show must go on.

A leading Russian MP and critic of the Kremlin has been shot dead in the entrance to his home in central Moscow.

Sergei Yushenkov, one of the leaders of the Liberal Russia party, was shot several times in the chest on Thursday. He was the third prominent politician to be gunned down in Moscow in seven months, a chain of events that will embarrass a Kremlin keen to convince the West that the banditry of the lawless 1990s has been vanquished.

"The Producer of the ABC Prime Time program, scheduled to air this evening, misrepresented the facts of how this program would play out.

I was told that we would be allowed to ask an FBI representative any questions we'd like to ask. When the time came to ask my questions, the Producer said I was not allowed to present my questions.

This morning the Good Morning America host, Charles Gibson stated that, "The children were allowed to ask all of their questions, even the tough ones." This did not happen. The whole tone of the program promotional seen this morning appeared to be a sham designed to lay the entire blame for the events of 4-19-93 on David Koresh, and in the process exonerating the FBI of any responsibility. This was not the true story either."

On the afternoon of April 19, 1993, as fire destroyed the Branch Davidians' "compound" outside of Waco, Texas, federal agents walked around the outside of the church, shooting hundreds of rounds of machine-gun fire at people who tried to escape the flames. This is the most damning, completely-proven assertion in a new documentary, "Waco: The Rules of Engagement." [Trailer]

First he goes to Pakistan to meet with ISI Director Lt. Gen Mahmood Ahmed who later wired $100,000 to Mohamed Atta.

Then he has breakfast on the morning of 9-11 with Gen Mahmood Ahmed. (Yes, the same guy.)

Then he leads the charge into questioning exactly how many 9-11 hijackers were trained at secure US military installations.

Then he co-authors the Patriot Act.

Then he starts screaming about a "cover-up" of 9-11; that it was facilitated by one or more "sovereign nations".

Now he's urging the Bush administration to consider launching a missile attack on Syria.

On top of all of that, he's running for president in 2004.

Is there a method to this madness, is he being blackmailed, or does he just need his prescription adjusted?

(UK) - Police and Army officers conspired to murder republicans in Northern Ireland over 10 years, the longest-running criminal inquiry in UK history will conclude this week.

The report by Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir John Stevens will reveal that a secret army intelligence unit and members of the RUC Special Branch assisted loyalist hitmen to assassinate republicans during the Eighties.

Worried parents will soon be able to keep an eye on their children at all times via a wearable tracking device and a website that maps where they go.

... Through the website parents will be able to pinpoint the location of their children in real time as well as replay where they have been over the last few hours.

SOS Response, creators of the service, says testing of the tracking system is due to begin soon.

"Osama bin Laden is not, nor has he ever been, the leader of the international Islamist movement which is directed by the International Muslim Brotherhood..."

"..[he] has been used effectively as a figurehead for the Brotherhood's militant branch to take responsibility for its atrocities, but he is not the mastermind... By the same token, the Muslim Brotherhood is a tool by the British-based Globalists whose main objective is to overthrow the established world order and create a new one-world system of global governance."

The headquarters of Islamic terrorism is London, England, where the Anglo-American Establishment sponsors the radical "Muslim Brotherhood" in order to advance its long-term goal of plutocratic global dictatorship.

These globalists have fabricated a bogus "war on terror" to crush the remaining vestiges of nationalism and democracy in both Muslim countries and the West. Expect more incitements like the current "Miss World " imbroglio to convince both sides the other endangers its way of life.

"All through the Soviet Afghan invasion of the 1980s, Casey of the CIA, Prince Turki of Saudi intellience, and the ISI worked together to create a Foreign Legion of so-called "Arab Afghans" (who in fact were never Afghans and not always Arabs) in Afghanistan. Bin Laden came to Afghanistan to represent Prince Turki in this endeavor. The foreigners were supported by the Services Center (Makhtab al-Khidmat) of the Jordanian Palestinian Abdullah Azzam, in the offices of the World Muslim League and Muslim Brotherhood in Peshawar (Rashid, Taliban, 131)."

"Egyptian Interior Minister Hassan El-Alfi has accused the Egyptian organization Muslim Brotherhood of financing and running terrorist camps in Bosnia-Herzegovina..... Bosnian Muslim leader Alija Izetbegovic welcomed a unit of Mujaheddin, some of whom were Egyptians, according to news agencies."

"Acting Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger, who knew Yugoslavia well from his term as Ambassador there and as banker subsequently, instructed Warren Zimmerman, U.S. Ambassador in Belgrade, to fly post-haste to Sarajevo and persuade Izetbegovic to renege on the agreement, promising him all political, diplomatic and military aid if he agreed to do so. Izetbegovic was persuaded. He stationed his green-berreted snipers on the roofs of central Sarajevo, reneged on the agreement, appealed for support in the Moslem world; the Bosnian war began."

"Wolfowitz complained in 1994 of the administration's failure to "develop an effective course of action." He personally advocated arming the Bosnian Muslims in their fight against the Serbs. Powell, on the other hand, publicly cautioned against intervention. In 1995 a U.S.-led NATO bombing campaign, combined with a Croat-Muslim ground offensive, forced the Serbs into negotiations, leading to the Dayton Peace Accords. In 1999, as Clinton rounded up support for joint U.S.-NATO action in Kosovo, Wolfowitz hectored the president for failing to act quickly enough."

"But Schumer said the government cannot always prove that a suspected terrorist is acting on behalf of a known terrorist group or foreign power. A case in point, according to Schumer, is Zacarias Moussaoui, the so-called 20th hijacker who is now on trial.

In the Moussaoui case, the FBI made no request to the special, highly secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court for a warrant to search Moussaoui's computer hard drive because it could not link him to the terrorist group al-Qaida, bill supporters contend."

"French authorities alerted the FBI in August that the "20th hijacker" had trained in al-Qaida camps in Afghanistan, according to an intelligence expert -- but the U.S. did nothing."

"The debate revolved around a French intelligence report, received Aug. 22, 2001, that described Moussaoui's earlier travels to join Chechen guerrillas who were fighting the Russians. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which sets the standards for issuing warrants for surveillance or searches in terrorism investigations, requires that law enforcement agencies show that a subject is more likely than not a member of an international terrorist organization. "

* " Yes, I do have a witness who was married, she’s an American woman, but she was married to one of the hijackers and she knew about seven of them. She met seven of them. Essentially these Arab hijackers were double agents. That is, they were operating inside the U.S. for ten to fifteen years in “cells”. Some of them used the term al Qaeda, they’ve used other terms. Al Qaeda is just a word. That means nothing. You could call them the Muslim Brotherhood, the Army of God, they go by all sorts of names. But what they are is a series of cells that have been aided and abetted by the U.S. Government. This woman was involved also, married to him at the time of the 1993 World Trade Center first bombing and the Oklahoma City bombing when her “ex-husband” actually traveled to Oklahoma City several weeks before the bombings. And they were involved, apparently, in that.

But what we have here is double agents. In that they nominally appear to be Arab fanatics. But one of the points that she stressed is they are really not Muslims. They are more interested in Playboy than in the Koran. I mean these people drink. They are very secular. They are not the fanatical Muslim zealots that the Bush criminals would lead us to believe is what’s operating here. What they are is they receive regular payments from the U.S. Government. They have been recruited by the CIA, FBI, counter-intelligence, and so-forth and paid money and allowed to exchange information with U.S. government agents about various activities going on....
