Lawsuit claims: On a “mission from God,” George W. planned to “take out” 7 countries in 5 years.

This is according to a lawsuit filed against George Bush and members of his administration by an Iraqi citizen, who is charging them of waging a war of aggression, and citing the Nuremburg trials. The original lawsuit was dismissed with an invitation to refile an amended complaint -- which they did. An evidentiary hearing has been scheduled.
(If you ever start thinking Bush, Clinton, and Obama are all the same, try to picture Clinton or Obama ever having a plan like this. It's impossible.)

A few weeks later, after the United States had begun its bombing of Afghanistan, General Clark asked this same general, “Are we still going to war with Iraq?” The general replied, “Oh, it’s worse than that.” The general pointed to a memo from the office of Defendant RUMSFELD. “This is a memo that describes how we’re going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran.

Defendant BUSH called French president Jacques Chirac and attempted to persuade him to support the United States’ invasion of Iraq. After Chirac informed Defendant BUSH that he needed more concrete evidence that Iraq possessed WMD and that the UN inspectors “need more time,” Defendant BUSH stated that a U.S. invasion of Iraq is “willed by God” and that “Gog and Magog are at work in the Middle East.” Chirac was bewildered over Defendant BUSH’s statement.

Here's a story we should all be ashamed of missing: George W Bush attempted to sell the invasion of Iraq to Jacques Chirac using biblical prophecy.
In the winter of 2003, when George Bush and Tony Blair were frantically gathering support for their planned invasion, Professor Thomas Römer, an Old Testament expert at the university of Lausanne, was rung up by the Protestant Federation of France. They asked him to supply them with a summary of the legends surrounding Gog and Magog and as the conversation progressed, he realised that this had originally come, from the highest reaches of the French government.
President Jacques Chirac wanted to know what the hell President Bush had been on about in their last conversation. Bush had then said that when he looked at the Middle East, he saw "Gog and Magog at work" and the biblical prophecies unfolding. But who the hell were Gog and Magog? Neither Chirac nor his office had any idea. But they knew Bush was an evangelical Christian, so they asked the French Federation of Protestants, who in turn asked Professor Römer.
He explained that Gog and Magog were, to use theological jargon, crazy talk. They appear twice in the Old Testament, once as a name, and once in a truly strange prophecy in the book of Ezekiel:

It was something constructive -- namely, saving the orphanage where they grew up. Dubya, not so much.

This is good stuff Freshwest. Thanks! 
this is in 2013- he's "changed his tune"

Why hasn't Wesley (the commander of the first PNAC war-Kosovo) said anything since? He ought to know all about the goals of PNAC.

People should remember that this clown almost started WW3 with the Russians after the PNAC bombing and invasion.
What is unspeakably sad is the support he still receives from many on the right.
they decided to create their own? Never let a valuable theory go to waste. 
Unca Dick would have made Bill Gates look like a street person.
They really need some democracy.
Just imagine. 
Menon and Oneal identify three domestic groups responsible for imperialism:
those motivated by the prospect of economic gain; agents of the state- particularly those responsible for national security- who may see imperialism as a means of advancing their own careers; and ideological, religious, or cultural groups who believe that expansion is desirable in principle or even inevitable.

George Bush revealed the extent of his religious fervor when he met a Palestinian delegation during the Israeli-Palestinian summit at the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, four months after the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003.
One of the delegates, Nabil Shaath, who was Palestinian foreign minister at the time, said: “President Bush said to all of us: ‘I am driven with a mission from God.’ God would tell me, “George, go and fight these terrorists in Afghanistan. ‘And I did. And then God would tell me, ‘George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq.‘ And I did.” (MacAskill, 2005)

-ON THE MORNING OF Thursday, April 10, 2003, Donald Rumsfeld's Pentagon prepared a top-secret briefing for George W. Bush. This document, known as the Worldwide Intelligence Update, was a daily digest of critical military intelligence so classified that it circulated among only a handful of Pentagon leaders and the president; Rumsfeld himself often delivered it, by hand, to the White House. The briefing's cover sheet generally featured triumphant, color images from the previous days' war efforts: On this particular morning, it showed the statue of Saddam Hussein being pulled down in Firdos Square, a grateful Iraqi child kissing an American soldier, and jubilant crowds thronging the streets of newly liberated Baghdad. And above these images, and just below the headline SECRETARY OF DEFENSE, was a quote that may have raised some eyebrows. It came from the Bible, from the book of Psalms: "Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him…To deliver their soul from death."
These cover sheets were the brainchild of Major General Glen Shaffer, a director for intelligence serving both the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the secretary of defense. In the days before the Iraq war, Shaffer's staff had created humorous covers in an attempt to alleviate the stress of preparing for battle. Then, as the body counting began, Shaffer, a Christian, deemed the biblical passages more suitable. Several others in the Pentagon disagreed. At least one Muslim analyst in the building had been greatly offended; others privately worried that if these covers were leaked during a war conducted in an Islamic nation, the fallout—as one Pentagon staffer would later say —"would be as bad as Abu Ghraib."
But the Pentagon's top officials were apparently unconcerned about the effect such a disclosure might have on the conduct of the war or on Bush's public standing. When colleagues complained to Shaffer that including a religious message with an intelligence briefing seemed inappropriate, Shaffer politely informed them that the practice would continue, because "my seniors"—JCS chairman Richard Myers, Rumsfeld, and the commander in chief himself—appreciated the cover pages.
The Scripture-adorned cover sheets illustrate one specific complaint I heard again and again: that Rumsfeld's tactics—such as playing a religious angle with the president—often ran counter to sound decision-making and could, occasionally, compromise the administration's best interests. In the case of the sheets, publicly flaunting his own religious views was not at all the SecDef's style—"Rumsfeld was old-fashioned that way," Shaffer acknowledged when I contacted him about the briefings—but it was decidedly Bush's style, and Rumsfeld likely saw the Scriptures as a way of making a personal connection with a president who frequently quoted the Bible. No matter that, if leaked, the images would reinforce impressions that the administration was embarking on a religious war and could escalate tensions with the Muslim world. The sheets were not Rumsfeld's direct invention—and he could thus distance himself from them, should that prove necessary. (Draper, 2009, p. 1) And He Shall Be Judged

While the republicans are smack talking about impeaching Obama for petty bullshit, Bush and Cheney continue to walk free for war crimes abuses and the MIC continues to rake in trillions.
