All War-All The Time

This tells it like it is!

All War-All The Time:

"04/24/06 'ICH' -- -- Your War Channel-all war-all the time-round the clock-breaking only for commercials for Halliburton and Bechtel

The recent paper by two prominent academics, John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt, on 'The Israel Lobby', has spurred considerable discussion both in the mainstream media and on the Internet about the significance of the role played by this lobby in instigating the US invasion and occupation of Iraq. The answer to this question may reside ultimately, and solely, in the minds of the neo-conservatives, in or close to official government positions, who lobbied for years to invade Iraq and overthrow Saddam Hussein; an early instance of this being their now-famous letter to President Clinton in January 1998, which, in no uncertain terms, called for an American strategy that 'should aim, above all, at the removal of Saddam Hussein's regime from power'. Warning of Saddam's potential for acquiring weapons of mass destruction, the neo-cons, in language at times sounding frenzied, insisted that his removal was absolutely vital to 'the security of the world in the first part of the 21st century' and for 'the safety of American troops in the region, of our friends and allies like Israel and the moderate Arab states, and a significant portion of the world's supply of oil.'
