It's like something out of the Thriller video with Michael Jackson
US and Iraqi officials today announced the two Al-Qaeda chiefs were killed in an Air strike by US troops this weekend, dealing Al-Qaeda a crushing blow. Nothing too special,l but here's the twist-both men had been already captured and killed on several occasions and have said that one of the men captured never existed but was created by the other Al-Qaeda member. Wow. Is there any intelligence in the intelligence community or are they reading chicken entrails or may phrenology? Here's the Washington Post article:

Ignore Joe Biden-he road the short bus to school....
Abu Ayyub al-Masri and Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, the two individuals killed over the weekend (supposedly) have had quite an interesting couple of years. This day exactly one year a go, President Al-Maliki announced that al-Baghdadi was captured and killed in a raid. But if you go back to March 2007 the Iraqi Interior Ministry reported that al-Baghdadi was captured in Baghdad, which the AP and CNN picked up brodcasted all over the world. However, the US military denied that he was in their custody within a day and then denied TWICE again within the next week. Nice work Gates. Way to run the Pentagon-you might as well have a retarded chimp running this for you.
Now it gets even weirder....in May 2007, the Iraqi Interior Ministry announced AGAIN that al-Baghdadi was killed by US forces. Then in July 2007, US forces that al-Baghdadi never EXISTED in the first place. A myth. A ghost. Like Clint Eastwood in Pale Rider-the Man with No Name. He was created by al-Masri to use as a face for "terror" on the Internet according to a Iraqi tourturee. Then in May 2008 US forces realized that al-Baghdadi wasn't al-Baghdadi but his real name was Hamed Dawood Mohammed Khalil al Zawi according to an Iraqi police chief. whew. This is as confusing as a Thomas Pynchon novel and it's not over.....
In April 2009 Iraqi officials showed a picture of al-Bahgdadi saying he was in custody, but his Al Qaeda-linked group the Islamic State of Iraq released recording saying he was NOT in custody, even if the Iraqis released his interrogation video. The recording have continued up till this weekend apparently where he was killed for the THIRD time.
C'mon-are you serious? Billions of dollars of intelligence funds go toward this? I have a better chance of finding water underground with a stick or figuring out calculus. The Military-Industrial complex has such a hold on us economically that they can get away with incompetence, murder and stealing. The media and government scares us to a point where most of the general public will accept the fact that trillions of dollars go to private companies (Raytheon, Halliburton, Lockheed Martin, Blackwater etc.) and more hundreds of billions go directly to the Defense department and other agencies like the CIA where their budgets are confidential. We are being sucked dry and losing all our individual liberties-why does no one protest these things? Is American Idol on? Did you go see Avatar again? We need to organize and open our mouths to SHOUT what is wrong with our country. This what Eisenhower warned us about in his farewell speech:

We need to organize and open our mouths to SHOUT what is wrong with our country. This what Eisenhower warned us about in his farewell speech:
"Until the latest of our world conflicts, the United States had no armaments industry. American makers of plowshares could, with time and as required, make swords as well. But now we can no longer risk emergency improvisation of national defense; we have been compelled to create a permanent armaments industry of vast proportions. Added to this, three and a half million men and women are directly engaged in the defense establishment. We annually spend on military security more than the net income of all United States corporations. This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence – economic, political, even spiritual – is felt in every city, every Statehouse, every office of the Federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society.In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.
We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together."
