Neocon Obsessions With the Iraq War and Russiagate


Blunders, boondoggles, and scandals litter American history.


Legendary comedian George Carlin recommended that everyone abide by three simple concepts: never believe the government, don’t listen to the media, and do a little thing called thinking. Every American should follow this sound advice, but too often emotions take over and logical and rational considerations are tossed aside.

The Iraq War

Sixteen years ago the neoconservatives inside the White House, Washington swamp, foreign policy establishment, and mainstream media sold the American people a pack of lies to justify an invasion of a country that did not attack the United States nor pose a security threat. Despite the Iraq War proving within months to be a disaster and failing to meet its objective of locating weapons of mass destruction (WMDs), the neocons mendaciously kept insisting that the bombs were there.
The cause of this foreign policy blunder has never been determined, leading to one of two conclusions. The first is that billions of tax dollars were coveted by the agencies in charge of such missions. The second is that the government blatantly lied to everyone to muster support. You can deduce which one is the reason for the Iraq War.

Neocons Sabotage Trump's Trade Talks - Huawei CFO Taken Hostage To Blackmail China

CNN reports that White House chief of staff John Kelly is expected to resign soon. There have been similar rumors before, but this time the news may actually be true. That is bad for Trump and U.S. policies. Kelly is one a the few counterweights to national security advisor John Bolton. His replacement will likely be whoever Bolton chooses. That will move contFrol over Trump policies further into the hands of the neo-conservatives.
It was Bolton who a week ago intentionally damaged U.S. relations with China.
The U.S. Justice Department arranged for Canada to arrest the chief financial officer of Huawei, Meng Wanzhou, over alleged U.S. sanctions violations with regards to Iran. The case is not over the sanction Trump recently imposed, but over an alleged collision with the sanction regime before the nuclear deal with Iran. The details are still unknown.
Meng Wanzhou is a daughter of the founder and main owner of Huawei, Ren Zhengfei, and was groomed to be his successor. The company is extremely well regarded in China. It is one of its jewel pieces and, with 170,000 employees and $100 billion in revenues, an important political actor.
The arrest on December 1 happened while president Trump was negotiating with president Xi of China about trade relations. Trump did not know about the upcoming arrest but Bolton was informed of it:
While the Justice Department did brief the White House about the impending arrest, Mr. Trump was not told about it. And the subject did not come up at the dinner with Mr. Xi. Mr. Trump’s national security adviser, John R. Bolton, said on NPR that he knew about the arrest in advance, ..
Bolton surely should have informed Trump before his dinner with Xi, in which Bolton took part, but he didn't.
