Ablogination

Those of us on the Left always said that Cheney was pulling the strings. Now, we all know it to be true.
The Traitor, Dick Cheney, did in fact commandeer the CIA and order them to withhold from Congress and Senate, plans for assassination attempts on Al Qaida operatives and suspects.

Assassinating this enemy, whatever name you want to call it, is a good idea. There’s no reason for any Religofascist to be left alive no matter what the religion.
The question is, why didn’t Dick Cheney allow the plans to proceed/continue? That should be rather obvious…

Examine first this article from the NY Times.

In his 2006 book “State of War,” James Risen wrote that the C.I.A. set up paramilitary teams shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks to hunt down top Qaeda operatives. Mr. Risen, a reporter for The New York Times, wrote that the operation was soon disbanded before the C.I.A. carried out any operations. But the spy agency continued to develop plans to focus on Qaeda operatives, and top C.I.A. officials were briefed periodically about the progress of these efforts, the officials familiar with the program said.

Why? Why was the operation canceled? It could have saved countless innocent lives on the ground.
Because Gerald Ford banned assassination in 1976? No. It’s successfully argued that such a ban does not extend to enemies in the field.

Why? Because had such a discretionary route been taken, there would have been no need to fabricate evidence in an effort to attack Iraq. No war in Iraq, no multi-Billion dollar no-bid contracts for Halliburton. Dick Cheney’s own personal money machine.

Iraq has become an important profit center – contracts there netted the company $900 million for the quarter, 15 percent of its operating budget. The Iraq contracts are cost-plus: the government reimburses the company for its costs, then adds on a profit of 2 percent to 7 percent. Critics say this creates a perverse incentive: the more you spend, the more you make. The Pentagon says this type of flexible contract is necessary in a war zone.

It’s all coming McChrystal clear now.

That which we’ve stated all along is true. Iraq was attacked largely for the filthy lucre contracts. From Blackwater’s guns to Halliburton’s “rebuilding” that never happened contracts.

The single greatest beneficiary of the US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is KBR, the former Halliburton subsidiary. KBR has been paid nearly $32 billion since 2001. In May, April Stephenson, director of the Defense Contract Audit Agency, testified that KBR was linked to “the vast majority” of war-zone fraud cases and a majority of the $13 billion in “questioned” or “unsupported” costs. According to Agency, it sent the inspector general “a total of 32 cases of suspected overbilling, bribery and other violations since 2004.”

Of course Cheney didn’t want Congress to know. They would have approved the more humane, practical, and less-expensive-to-the-tax-payer methods.
But instead, the greed-laden subhumanoid withheld the idea and let it fade. It was the one thing that would have ruined Cheney’s get rich quick by slaughtering innocent people plans.
Cheney saw opportunity and being the vermin he is, figured blood soaked money spends just as well.

A nation betrayed and deceived by it’s own Vice President. A country full of innocent people laid waste. 4322 of America’s finest, dead, and tens of thousands wounded.
All for another huge chunk of the American taxpayer’s money.

I truly hope that AG Holder finds the balls to investigate this matter as Sen. Feinstein suggested. Because with this, the exposing of Valerie Plame Wilson as a covert CIA operative, and countless other transgressions…Dick Cheney is not fit to breathe the same air as the rest of us.

Oh, and the part where Hayden lies through his Neo-Con teeth by saying the plans were never tried…
Remember what the late, great Seymour Hersh said long ago…
“…Congress has no oversight of it. It’s an executive assassination wing, essentially. And it’s been going on and on and on. And just today in the Times there was a story saying that its leader, a three-star admiral named McRaven, ordered a stop to certain activities because there were so many collateral deaths. It’s been going in—under President Bush’s authority, they’ve been going into countries, not talking to the ambassador or to the CIA station chief, and finding people on a list and executing them and leaving.”

According to Hersh, the program was carried out by the Joint Special Operations Command, or JSOC. The former head of JSOC, Stanley McChrystal, is now Obama’s top commander in Afghanistan.
