Is this the real reason for the war and the crack-down on dissent?

[drb]

I've been trying for months now to figure out the point of all this stuff. War with Iraq, fabricating threats from Iran, villifying Chavez.... What do they all have in common? You already know the answer.

Why do gas prices go up, then fall back part way, then go up again, and fall back a little? Are they getting us ready for the Big Hit?

Is it even conceivable that the PNAC/neocons, with all their ineptitude, corruption, and thuggishness, are focused on something in America's future that most of us don't think about? Why does Hillary support the war? I'm not saying that I agree with the means - not at all. It's still not right to just kick someone's ass and take their stuff. But if this is the reason, we sure get a valuable insight into "why."

Here's two links. Read the first one and at least the synopsis on the second one.

Discuss.
