We look forward to the liberation of our own country and others from the threat of Saddam's weapons of mass destruction, and to the liberation of the Iraqi people from a brutal and sadistic tyrant.
In May 1989, the Governor of the Central Bank of Jordan, Mohammed Said Nabulsi, issued a decree ordering all banks in the country to deposit 35% of their reserves with the Central Bank.[23] Petra Bank was the only bank that was unable to meet this requirement. An investigation was launched which led to accusations of embezzlement and false accounting. The bank failed, causing a $350 million bail-out by the Central Bank.[24] Chalabi fled the country, in the trunk of a Jordanian prince's car,[17] before the authorities could react. Chalabi was convicted and sentenced in absentia for bank fraud by a Jordanian military tribunal to 22 years in prison.
In the lead-up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the Iraqi National Congress (INC), with the assistance of lobbying powerhouse BKSH & Associates,[10] provided a major portion of the information on which the Office of Special Plans based its condemnation of the Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, including reports of weapons of mass destruction and alleged ties to al-Qaeda. Most, if not all, of this information has turned out to be false and Chalabi has been called a fabricator.[11][12] Along with this, Chalabi also subsequently boasted, in an interview with the British Sunday Telegraph, about the impact that their faulty intelligence had on American policy.
Obviously Saddam was a murderous tyrant but the war was based on lies. And the guy whose lies W used was an obvious fraudster. Saddam was a murderous tyrant in the 80s too but the Reagan administration was happy to work with him then. I mean the Iraqis blew up an American frigate killing thirty some Navy sailors and Ronnie was like no biggie just an accident now pls kill more Iranians lol
The main thing about Kristol is that no matter what side he's on, he's always wrong. His predictions are frequent and as bad as Jim Cramer's, yet he gets millions to speak as if he's right about anything in politics. So astoundingly wrong, yet he still gets mainstream political platforms.
Kinda confused here since I don't remember names so good. Why is he getting money and why can Musk just unilaterally turn that money off? Was this just some random agency deciding to give him a bazillion dollaridoos in graftbux?
I'm not really a fan either. Most of my family seems to be letting it ride for a year or two and seem convinced this isn't necessarily doomed to failure but I dunno. I don't trust this tariff stuff and I REALLY don't trust musk. (If I was trump I'd have dumped him after the impregnate taytay comments tbh)
I don't think its an awful idea, it's kind of like pardons. If the President can't unilaterally increase the budget but can only unilaterally cut stuff.Just as the President can't unilaterally charge someone for a crime but can forgive them. It basically works only to weaken government/tyranny and not increase it. Sure it can be abused obviously but the biggest risk; massive government spending or unfair trials can't happen and instead the President's only tool is to weaken their own administrative power. Think that may have good incentives.
>why can Musk just unilaterally turn that money off?
Elon Musk has actually seized control over the US Treasury and is unlawfully impounding payments without congressional approval. Or at least, that is what Musk has been saying on Twitter.
Nixon tried it, so Congress banned it. Now Musk is doing it again. He's more or less daring the SCOTUS to rule his activities unlawful. They'll probably let him run wild for a while and then reel him in on their own schedule.
He can't but Musk/Trump are pushing some innovative heresies theories about what the president and some random peepeelicker can do. Kind of like how their kind perverted the Christian religion into something that would help them steal more.
Neocon dipshit who pushed the Iraq War. I hate him because there's a bunch of other Jews named Kristol who I really respect, but I have to look them up to make sure they're not him. Like the guy who I would have voted for governor if that weed-dealing c*nt Shemia Stragan hadn't illegally cockblocked him from running for office. Great job, Oregon. If we keep trying maybe we can reach the level of democracy they have in West Africa.
