Kenneth Adelman, war pimp, and the myth of incompetence

kenny's not a happy camper...
The failure to find weapons of mass destruction disturbed him. He said he was disgusted by the failure to stop the looting that followed Hussein's fall and by Rumsfeld's casual dismissal of it with the phrase "stuff happens." The breaking point, he said, was Bush's decision to award Medals of Freedom to occupation chief L. Paul Bremer, Gen. Tommy R. Franks and then-CIA Director George J. Tenet.

i keep wondering why we don't hear any discussion about the possibility that bushco screws things up on purpose... if you carefully analyze what they are REALLY trying to accomplish - endless war, global chaos, boosting terrorism, one-party rule, social control through fear and religious extremism, channeling vast sums of money into the pockets of the already super-rich, all aided and abetted by a virtually totalitarian chief executive - they've been damn successful...

the reason folks like adelman are pissed off is the same reason the christian fundamentalists are pissed off... both have been co-opted and used to advance one of the darkest agendas of modern history and they're now starting to wake up to it...
