MUST READ from Lori P. in LBN
Wolfie and Rummy want to arm our "friends"
the world over-
The Goss bill makes it legal. Here in the US
with NO legal accountability.
This is extremely important as far as knowing
what they have planned for us.

Pentagon plan for global anti-terror army
http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2004/08/11/1092102504650.html#
"The Pentagon has urged Congress to authorise a $700 million package designed to build a global
anti-terrorist network of friendly militias.

Deputy Defence Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, a key architect of the Iraq war, told the House Armed Services
Committee the money would be used "for training and equipping local security forces - not just armies - to
counter terrorism and insurgencies".

If approved as part of a larger defence bill, the package would "provide greater internal security in areas
that are or could become sanctuaries for terrorists," he said."

I have pasted relevant parts of the Goss Bill to this thread:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x742167#742213

The implications are grim people.
VERY.
How interesting that the article appears
the same day that Bush nominates Goss, eh?
It's all going to be legal...just like Hitler.

Soon to resume drinking,
BHN

3. Payback is a bitch.
What are these fools going to do
when the armed militias decide to break away
and do their own thing?

The US military has been recruiting and training the Iraqis
but then they treat them SO BADLY
that the Iraqis leave and take up assassination for fun and profit.
And their targets are NOT the local populace.

12. So is blowback....
Which would be almost certain. They seem to have forgotten that proxy warriors don't always work out so well.

We will learn this lesson all over again.

4. also suspect
is that goss's nomination is announced on the same day Dem's gather to urge legistation based the 9-11 commission report

heard one Dem say that bush* missed an opportunity to show his support for the 9-11 recommendations - by nominating Goss (or anyone else) at this time to head the CIA is a 'moot' point - if the 9-11 recommendations were to be implemented the CIA Director's position would replaced by a "terror-czar"

5. Question...
This is really scary stuff. I read your excerpts of Goss' House Bill. Do you have the HB number? I'd like to read the whole thing and pass it on to my Peace and Justice Coalition.

Thanks!

6. They're relying on "a key architect of the Iraq war" for ANYTHING?
Jeebus, haven't they learned that ALL of the folks who had ANYTHING to do at all with the planning and execution of the Iraqi war are NINCOMPOOPS?

That spit-haired Wolfowitz....good grief, I can't wait until January when these assclowns are sent packing.

8. Remember that Al Qaeda also started as a militia ,the Mujahideen,
which was armed and financed by the US to defeat the Soviet invaders in Afghanistan.After that was accomplished, Al Qaeda turned around and set its sights on its masters.

9. my first thought also
Lets see how many more nightmares we can create for future generations.
If the word "evil" didn't exist it would have to be invented for these people.

19. Sorry...
You are absolutely right, about the thread title.
Not exactly descriptive of the urgency of the
information-
I thnk it the text of the Bill should be attached
to EVERY fucking news paper article on this
recent Nazi appointment. Not a peep form any of them
about WHO this Goss ghoul really is.

Our media is about as useful as a pile of
used condoms. Completely worthless.

We need a bill to block ANY US TAX DOLLARS from going to ANY private security contractors ANYWHERE in this world for ANY REASON. This explains the new meme "War Fighters" we heard in hearings yesterday. who's brave enough to write the bill? Oh NEVERMIND!!!!!!!!
