  • I don't think the Vice-President is cornered so much as he is preparing to take his loot and get out of town. But as this is a family criminal operation, the Bush's are doing the same. Their destination: Dubai.

    Not only is Halliburton preparing to take its ill-gotten loot and empire and move it offshore, but the Carlyle Group (vested with large amounts of Bush money) is moving to Dubai.

    As there is so little attention to the huge amounts of money being borrowed to line these criminals pockets, we will suffer the catastrophic fate that the Soviet Union did when their war industries brought down their empire. So be it. Too bad though, a lot of people will be hurt.

  • The final irony may be that our ally Saudi Arabia, as well as our own black-ops community, are now busily funneling support to Sunni groups attacking us in Iraq, including those affiliated with Al Qaeda. See Seymour Hersh's recent article in The New Yorker for details.
