RSSUS planned to invade middle east in 1973
Jan 07
According to recently released documents by the British government the US had plans to invade parts of the Middle East to secure oil during the 1973 oil embargo. Seems that preemption isn’t necessarily a new thing…

Depose George III
George Bush has ruined the economy, turned a huge federal surplus into an even bigger federal deficit and robbed the middle class to pay off the rich. He has frittered away America’s moral superiority in the world by adopting a first strike policy, so that we can no longer claim that democracies don’t start wars. He has lost us the respect of the world community, because he began a war based on lies about weapons of mass destruction.
From the very beginning of his administration, Bush intended to invade. But what made that necessary in his mind? Perhaps it is some neo-conservative notion of manifest destiny.
They consider the US to be the greatest country the world has ever seen; foremost in economic, scientific and technological advancement. But morality and spirituality are its finest qualities. Possessing unequaled military might, the US uses its power to foster freedom, not merely for itself, but for all people everywhere.
Other nations ought to emulate the US constitution, laws and way of life. It is right and proper for the US to lead the world forward, and for the neo-conservative wing of the Republican Party to lead the United States. They think it is their destiny.
Depose George III.
