Rethinking Conspiracy Theories
I've never been one to buy too heavily into conspiracy theories, though I do think there's something more to the JFK assassination than a lone gunmen. However, other conspiracies I always considered too far fetched including recent ones that our government either knew about in advance or perhaps planned 9/11. For the record, I don't think they did, but I can no longer say it's inconceivable.
Here is a link to a site that lays out U.S. govt. conspiracies in the 1960's to provoke a war with Cuba. From what I can tell this seems to be very legitimate. Once you goto the site you can find links to the actual declassified Department of Defense documents, and this story is also backed up by an ABC News website which details this conspiracy and how the documents came to be released.
What this information does accomplish is that it puts to rest the simple minded Republican mantra that we went to war to help the Iraqi people (or whatever their feel good reason of the moment is now that WMD is no longer a reason). At the least, this information shows what our government is capable of. This is what happens behind the scenes - we treat military action and war as a tool to further our own selfish strategic objectives. Likewise, this should also show how the exaggeration of evidence is regularly used as a propoganda tool by our govt to justify their desired military actions, e.g. our exaggerated WMD claims.

The "Want to Know" website has no true validity to it. There is no proof of the allegations being made here. Documents like this could easily be created with a computer and spare time. The creator of that webiste clearly spends to much time writing nonsense for others to waste their time reading...the trend seems to have hit this website also.
Quit your crying, liberal.
If you like this blog site, pls also go to www.completely made up crap.com - at "completely made up crap" we also print lies to prove our points. Why bother printing the truth when we can create stories in our minds for the readers to enjoy. Is it true that Democrats shave their genital areas to make their members look bigger?
Great points on some of this, and that's a very interesting site. You must have hit a nerve for the liberal bashing to have started. I don't know why those Rethugs can doubt that site. There's a link to an ABC site that backs it all up.
Pls learn to think for yourselves.
Luckily you found this information before the C.I.A. did and have now prevented further wars.
Its true, not only are Democrats trust worthy people, they also eat McDonalds frenchfries by the pound.
ORDER FROM KARL ROWE:
Order to all soldiers in the Bush army. Due to our recent failure in supporting those affected by Katrina (never admit this to anyone) we must undertake a massive "damage control" operation. Please comb the web for any news stories or blogs that bash our president or even in anyway seem to place our president in a bad light (whether truthful or not). If you find sites like this please post a response such as "stop your crying liberal" or "bush is working hard". Thank you for your continued support. Continue to drive your F350 because Bush will soon lower gas prices once his buddies have made enough to purchase the state of Texas.
