[lbo-talk] FW: stupidity is most dangerous in people with high IQ

Yep. and i want a cookie for being right damn it. I said long ago that
it was oil, it was to establish a military presence in the region. If
you read the neocons from the mid-1990s, the one thing that pissed
them off is that the u.s. has always had to kiss Israel's and Turkey's
ass. Any time we need to bomb something somewhere, we had to negotiate
flyover space, yadda.

Neocons' basic premise is: everyone's an enemy.
