Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

[JMKel]

What is interesting is that some Moslems believe that Saddam is well supported in Baghdad and that taking Baghdad will not be a cake walk. I tend to doubt that this is true but it is definitely a different spin on Saddam.

Also the US Moslems are very supicious of the Bush administration because of Ashcroft and his suspension of the Bill of Rights (mainly for Moslems)his placement of agents in the domestic Mosques. They also know he is a Baptist.They are holding bible classes in the White House. Bush apparently is a Waco Baptist. This heightens their supicions. They are paranoid anyway and it is getting worse.

The Administration is trying to push through The new Bush "total information Policy" on the back of the 9/11 fears. Ashcroft's is attempting to get the Moslem community to turn over other Moslems that they may suspect.

It seems that the prevailing view is that Bush and Blair are both oilmen in government positions and that the Iraqi affair is really about the geopolitics of mideastern oil not Al Quaeda.
The US would like to create a new secular Iraq under its influence to counterbalance Saudi Arabia and Iran politically.

The Bush administration is adopting policies out of Aldous Huxley's novels. It is a new brand of fear based politics.
They are saying we will protect you from the bad guys if you give up all your privacy. It is appraoching true FACISM similar to Italy and Germany in the 30 and the 40's but it is even more dangerou. Now there is the computer technology available to track every man woman and child on this earth.

Moreover, they wanted to put a John Poindexter ( a convicted felon and liar) in charge of this total information program.

Bush is a bigger threat to our democratic government than Bin Laden IMO.
