Advantages: Weapons sales up!

Disadvantages: Dead people living on the oil

Blair came in to power talking of ethical foreign policies and more Caution on selling weapon to unstable third world countries. By September 11th he and his foreign secretaries had well and truly buried that idealism by arming the nasty Philippine government and any one else as admirably bad.
Sierra Leone showed that we were more interested in diamonds getting to the rich than the food getting to the poor in the Dark Continent.

So after the epoch events in New York Blair saw his chance to correct these inconstancies and stood up for the free world with a stirring speech at the labor conference. We can save the world and be really righteous he ranted. I’m personally going to save Africa as he slammed his fist down.
Meanwhile in the darker echoing corridors that are polished every day his ministers were finalizing a deal to sell an obsolete military air traffic control system to the third poorest country in Africa..

As the bombs were flattening Asia’s poorest countries feeble air traffic control system we we’re asking Tanzania for 40 million notes for another one from the same MFI shop. Tanzania has eight military planes.
The 40 million they are spending on it they clearly cant afford and it would be better spent on schools and hospitals.

The DID (Trade and Industry) said that its important that this deal goes through as it protects 250 jobs in the Isle of Wight over the one million clean water supplies it could plumb in over there.
Amazingly the structures have already been built over there and the fuss is the handing over of the embarrassing bill to the wide-eyed Africans.
Sums like that are equivalent to half of the national health bill there or teaching a further three million kids for the remainder of their education.
You can see we have our priorities right then for Christmas.This bill isn’t met with a bank of Tanzania cheque but of the annual one hundred million-aid bill.

This
is the gray area of the infamous evil export credit guarantee which enables British companies to sell anything to poor countries whilst being under written by nine in every one hundred pounds of tax we pay.
It’s the best way to force small insignificant countries to pay large tons of interest for stuff they don’t really need or arms they really shouldn’t be getting.

And of course poor countries only assets are their aid budgets and minerals and gold, let alone the most valuable asset of all in oil. We have seen in the Middle East that America and the Arabs will do anything, and i mean anything to secure the status quo in that trade.
Most Africa countries pay back to Britain and the World Bank three times their GDO in a desperate bid to stay afloat.
This only encourages these poor places to collapse into war or supports corrupt leaders so we can sell them a ton of weapons at vulgar prices. You can see why it’s such a successful science and a lucrative one at that.

But it’s not weapons of war, as we know them that are changing the world now. Two airliners smashing into the world’s richest buildings caught everyone out and made a lot of arms companies nervous. If a simple hijacking can bankrupt a country then why bother with expensive wars.
But that’s exactly how America responded in leveling a s****y country with the best weapons on the market. Most of these are now available after this latest USAF shop window demonstration.

Not everything went to plan though as their new spy drones seemed to be easy targets and clearly their satellites cant pick up notorious terrorists. But they did managed to wipe out some important Northern Alliance elders who no doubt were conveniently in the way of one of their not so smart bombs.
Either that or they felt like wasting them for strategic purposes.

But these smart bombs and munitions that allow America to cowardly bombing from 3000 ft
against firework air defenses often don’t even work.90 percent of the bombs dropped here and in the old Yugoslavia were in fact standard old munitions.
The Stealth technology sucks to with only one in three of the smaller bombers able to fly in desert mountainous conditions out there.
They can only be hangered in climate controlled areas back in one area of America so are seriously expensive to use over seas. Let alone if they are embarrassingly shot down but shepherds in Bosnia.

The larger stealth bombers were deemed “useless”by the supreme command forces on the war against terrorism with one general asking for the project to be canned. America spends one tenth of its GDP on their armed forces and consider themselves the policeman of the world.
But because they consume one fifth of the world’s oil and growing they need to suppress the Middle East and others to secure that oil is “reasonably priced”.

This is the main reason why the tend to wage war in the Northern Hemispheres winter when fuel is most in demand.If you think back to the last American infliction’s abroad they all seem to involve predominately Muslim countries in cold winters near Ramadan.
You have to ask your selves if this is deliberate and are military actions only executed at maximum benefit to the US war machine.

Bare this in mind that the recent spats with Iraq and the Gulf War all started and finished between November and February.
On Bush juniors first month in power he took the opportunity to remind Saddam that daddies boy is in town with an attack almost a second to the day to commemorate the scrap ten years ago exactly. These missile strikes are also a reminder to Mad Sads friends that America is their biggest customer of oil and has lots of missiles to sell, and fire.

Israel is the biggest benefactor of US business and charities in the region receiving ten times as much aid money as Afghanistan
.They also buy a s**t load of American military hardware and used most of it to bomb out Hamas recently.
The war on terrorism doesn’t apparently include American made Apache helicopters pounding innocent children in the Palestinian ghettos you know. But they have more nukes than the whole of the region put together so can do what they bloody well like with Bush’s backing.

The terror threat seems to mysteriously pick up here and in America whenever the Israel Arafat situation violently flares. It may be diversionary tactics to try and calm the situation. But in reality it’s the crafty callous American foreign policy spin machine in full flow.
The longer the war goes on them the more it can be used here and in America to sell weapons to the region and hide poor performing domestic policies.

Its even weirder how a supposed terror ship is trudging towards the Thames Estuary full of God knows what from the Islamic Santa Claus at a time of health service very negative publicity.
The boat turned out to be full of sugar beat and was only suspicious because of the places it had been to recently. Places like Eritrea and Somalia which are number one on the Us hit list are determined to tie them in any way they can to initiate revenge.
The press is left to rampantly speculate on what threat the ship was with the latest theory being infected sugar in Tesco’s, white powder etc…..
In Germany there has been an outbreak of sickness from infected chocolate from one Bavarian factory.Could this be a chemical bio attack,will the press there use that nibble to perpetuate the paranoia like America and the UK do.

Talking of white powder it turns out that the US anthrax came from a military lab in the mid west often used by the CIA.
The embattled intelligence service is denying it of course and leaning the press towards a black mail operation by any from the drugs company that make Cippro to a lone nut.
Her
es another alarming aspect of American psyche as they used panicked, mostly black American postal workers into testing these Anthrax remedies for post infection.
This has never been mass tested before and the government is allowing the purchase of the drug as protection to be an unofficial experiment by the drugs companies.



The side effects are numerous and im sure certain covert agencies there would love to see the effect on African Americans in case of any future conflicts in that part of the genetic code. It will also provide an interesting comparison to the much talked of Gulf War syndrome which this jab was part of the cause.
If these guys and girls show a similar symptoms as soldiers and army types from Desert Storm then there may be claims for compensation.or at least help to point the finger.
Then again that wouldn’t be beneficial to the US governments if it doesn’t go their way with massive compensation and legal fees pending.

The Americans are dead keen to get into Baghdad early next year to try and topple Saddam with much less coalition and firepower. Presidential advisor Donald Rumsfield is “sound on Iraq” which, means ready to flatten the b****s with American military hovering around the region.
But this would be a very different op like the current one and far more expensive. An America defector from Iraq is telling the yanks that he has been repairing Sadams nuclear and chemical/bio factories as the dictator gears up for the expectation of American hostilities. Very convenient all round.

This sort of thing will pep up arms sales once again as local Arab nations get nervous and re load with American logistics and weapons. This is the kind of stimulus arms procurement that the big world economies beg for..
One thing is or sure. America has lost Bin Laden and his deputies. Either they have taken him out finally and leaving it at that or they have let him slip into another t
hird world lawless place like Iraq, Checkyna or Somalia maybe!.
Its time to use the West’s secret weapon against the Islamic fanatics, one so destructive to anglo Muslim relations, send in the Bowyer Woodgate negotiating team!.
