[Note: for this one column, the writer will forego the pose of being "the World's Laziest Journalist" and use traditional debating form to address a possible explanation of the events in Egypt, which has seemed to stymie both liberal and conservative pundits.]

 

In 1980, the Republicans conspired with radical Muslims to use the Iranian hostages as pawns in the Presidential Election process, so it isn't inconceivable that some Republicans might stoop that low again for the same reason.   It could it even be that the same Republicans who negotiated with the Iranians for the release of the American hostages are again using stealth deals to influence American politics.   Didn't the Republicans use agreements with Muslim extremists to get the money to use in the Iran-Contra deal?   Was that ever fully investigated beyond the level of sending some low level intermediaries to jail?   Who gave the marching orders to those intermediaries?  

 

Who were the Americans who worked out the details for clandestine money and weapons, in the late Eighties (?), to help the Afghan rebels repulse the Russian invasion?   Since the White House was occupied by Republicans from 1980 to 1992, you don't think they let any Democrats play a substantial role in that caper, do you?

 

What prominent American political family is known for its political ties to the House of Saud in Arabia?   Who are the workers who help maintain that cozy relationship?

 

Did Republicans working on the Policy for a New American Century (PNAC) project express a hope for a "new Pearl Harbor" during the Clinton Administration?   Did some such invigorating and inspiring event eventually take place and deliver a unified country into the hands of the people who expressed that wish?  

 

Did George W. Bush use a photo-op moment to make a solemn pledge to the American people to deliver justice to Osama bin Laden (a member of a family that like his own was heavily involved in the Carlyle Group)?   Did George W. Bush's military make a deal with local Muslims to apprehend the culprit and didn't that bit of delegating authoritiy "inadvertently" let the fellow slip into oblivion that all the best CIA efforts can't penetrate?  

 

Would there be enough circumstantial evidence to conclude that a deal was made to let the fugitive escape in return for a promise that no further terrorist attacks would be made inside the USA while the Bush family was in the Oval Office?

 

Was a heavy emphasis placed on the principle of spreading democracy to explain the need for sending the United States military forces into both Afghanistan and Iraq?

BP graduated from college in the mid sixties (at the bottom of the class?) He told his draft board that Vietnam could be won without his participation. He is still appologizing for that mistake. He received his fist photo lesson from a future (more...)
