The Provocateur State:
Is the CIA Behind the Iraqi "Insurgents"--and Global Terrorism?
by Frank Morales
The requirement of an ever-escalating level of social violence to meet the political and economic needs of the insatiable "anti-terrorist complex" is the essence of the new US militarism.
What is now openly billed as "permanent war" ultimately serves the geo-political ends of social control in the interests of US corporate domination, much as the anti-communist crusade of the now-exhausted Cold War did.
Back in 2002, following the trauma of 9-11, Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld predicted there would be more terrorist attacks against the American people and civilization at large. How could he be so sure of that? Perhaps because these attacks would be instigated on the order of the Honorable Mr. Rumsfeld. According to Los Angeles Times military analyst William Arkin, writing Oct. 27, 2002, Rumsfeld set out to create a secret army, "a super-Intelligence Support Activity" network that would "bring together CIA and military covert action, information warfare, intelligence, and cover and deception," to stir the pot of spiraling global violence.

I think the reason so many people have such a hard time getting their minds around this very simple concept is because to have to admit that life isn't just cowboys & indians, (us bein the good guy); and it would shatter the illusions they've been spoon-fed all their lives.
In response to those people, I will echo Col. Jessup from A Few Good Men, "YOU/they CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!"
You haven't got one shred of evidence to support this ridiculous claim

Couple more things:
*You state Rummy and pals have the most to gain from this insurgency? What?
What do they gain? How do they benefit?
(please provide credible evidence)
*Worse case scenario:
3 years from now, Rummy and pals are all out of office, but....
the insurgency is still going on (again, worse case scenario). Who do you blame then?

I'd say Civil War in Iraq is about as good a justification for a permanent US/UK military presence to "keep the peace and protect the Iraqi's oil".

I hate to break it to you, but the source, that link is excellent
According to a classified document prepared for Rumsfeld by his Defense Science Board, the new organization--the "Proactive, Preemptive Operations Group (P2OG)"--would actually carry out secret missions designed to provoke terrorist groups into committing violent acts

I hope you do, Sporty. If you keep looking, and keep an open mind, you will find the truth
