First they came for ConsortiumNews, and I did not speak out—

522. I think that is why the message coming from 3 channels said something to me

That it wasn't, of course, Glaspie going rogue, she was doing what she was paid to do.

Interesting how the referenced cable tells Saddam "some circles", I wonder if that was true of just their way of working Saddam in a good cop bad cop game. I think the latter is likely, and that they played him right into invading Kuwait, knowing they would then have their excuse to intervene militarily.

I'm not 100% certain of the 3 channels thing, let me know if you have that info, I remember reading it in perhaps one source, which is not enough to be certain, and I forget what the other channels were. I'm sure I have the article somewhere, so eventually I'll rediscover it and see if it was a good source, but I don't have that stuff organized and rarely look at it, so it'll be awhile before I get to it.

Thanks for chatting and for posting on DU.
