And to some extent, I agree with him. Arafat should have been gone long ago. And we need new international amendments to tackle the infrastructures of these Arab nations.

And Raoul, you made your point with:
>"With the Iraq issue, we have an agressor and invader which has a DOD budget 22 times higher than the GNP of Iraq, and yet, it's incapable of winning the peace and reconstruct the country."

What this man fails to address is the large and illegal drug trade that passes from these Middle Eastern countries into the US with military sanction. Iran Contra may be an old issue, but it still has it's well hidden remnants today.

And the Saudi connection.
The first pilot into the Twin Trade Towers was Mohammed Atta, who had international pilot's licences and a military address for training up in Pensacola. He spent his days here in Florida flying cocaine and heroin around small airports that were CIA fronts with FBI and FAA sanctions (protection), while also working with Bin Laden's brother in Miami. The man who put the money up for the flight schools is an old friend and major supporter of Jeb Bush. Katherine Harris endorsed the airline, even though they bilked hundreds of thousands from their "flight students", and she was very busy shredding the paper trail after 9/11.

This shadowy group that has had the dope pipeline up and running also have hidden training camps and weapons suppliers. And they're really not too picky who they do business with. The shadier the better. What they ARE learning, is that this financial scam turns around and bites them in the ass when they least expect it. And we, the people get to pay for it.

Indeed, to follow the money, one only has to do a thorough investigation, however (as with Iran Contra), it is the fox guarding the hen house, and even if convicted, they would just be exonerated by the outgoing President (assuming he wanted to live through his term).
