This beauty contains the following:
"So I re-read the first (of five) introductions to the book and sure enough,
there it was. Right on the first page of the first introduction, written by
one Mr. Trento, described as an intelligence expert. He outright endorses
the mainstream media line that the US *blundered* by allying with the
Islamic fundamentalists who then turned against their creator, etc., etc."
Which implies (isn't it obvious?) that if this intelligence expert endorses
a "mainstream media line" that he's obviously a stooge.

In which this nitwit says:
<<""the Bush administration outright threatened to bomb the Taliban unless
they came around and accepted an oil pipeline, or you say it was a gas
pipeline. These are highly documented quotes. I saved this one from an email
in March, four months ago.
"In Afghanistan, the hidden agenda is oil. The Bush Administration held a
series of negotiations with the Taliban in early 2001 regarding the
trans-Afghan pipeline project. 'At one moment during one of the
negotiations, U.S. representatives told the Taliban, 'either you accept our
offer of a carpet of gold, or we bury you under a carpet of bombs'". And
this is exactly what is happening today in Afghanistan."
This is highly documented. Are you saying it didn't happen?"">>
Doesn't everybody know that secret negotiations are all "highly documented?"
I'm sure if I were a Bush admin. negotiator I wouldn't mind such a
statement being on the record. Jeeze.
