Re: [CTRL] Bush's Oil Move Backfires (Flashback)

-Caveat Lector- Keep in mind that a number of the neocons were also oil industry executives. Condoleezza Rice was a consultant to Chevron. They are definitely connected. Steve,   Strictly speaking, the neocons for the most part are a group of ideologues, academics, intellectuals and journalists who are a strange combination of ultra-leftism on social policy and ultra-right Likud Zionism.  Most of them have no accomplishments to their name in pragmatic endeavors.  This is the same parasitic personality type which seized positions of bureaucratic power in the Soviet Union and drove it into the ground.   The neocons are long on big, unrealistic ideas and short on practical accomplishments.   Condoleezza Rice, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld are not technically neocons -- they are tools and instruments of the neocons.  They are regurgitating concepts and words that have been put into their mouths by Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, William Kristol, Michael Ledeen and other prominent neocons who dominate the PNAC, AEI, JINSA and similar think tanks.   Most oil industry executives hold the neocons in contempt and consider them to be unreliable schemers and blabbermouths.   The neocons have been hatching schemes for stealing Arab and Muslim oil on behalf on Israel since at least the seventies.  These schemes have little to do with the careful judgment of big oil of what is in its best interest.   If you want to grasp what the neocons are all about, read a large stack of issues of Commentary -- their key issues come into focus quite quickly.  Everything they say and do revolves around the interests not simply of Israel in a practical sense, but of Israel as a grandiose and messianic myth.  The neocons are ethnocentric wankers.   George W. Bush has gone along with the neocons not because of his oil industry connections, but because of his Christian Zionism  -- the neocons have exploited that primitive superstition to the hilt.   Bush Sr.'s oil buddies, including James Baker, tried to warn Junior that invading Iraq would be bad for the oil business.   This is the reason that Michael Ruppert and Kris Millegan have been able to produce so little evidence supporting their theory that big oil has been the ringleader behind the drive to invade and occupy Israel's Arab and Muslim neighbors.  The theory is simply false.  For the most part big oil has sought friendly and stable relations with Israel's oil-producing neighbors, a policy which has enraged Israel and the neocons.   ----- Original Message ----- From: Steve Wingate To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, October 04, 2003 4:39 PM Subject: Re: [CTRL] Bush's Oil Move Backfires (Flashback) -Caveat Lector- Keep in mind that a number of the neocons were also oil industry executives.
