The American Hapsburgs.

Holy Cow. You know you've discovered Internet GOLD when you find a page that links NutraSweet, "The Purple Ink Document" and the Jonestown Massacre...

It seems like just yesterday that this stuff came to market...

Drinking the kool-aid.

I came across Rummy in COmmittee questioning LBJ's Halliburton connections during the 'Nam. Ironic indeed.

If the link would copy/paste I'd send it.

Meanwhile here's the New Yorker take on Rummy's Office of Special Plans:http://www.newyorker.com/fact/content/?030512fa_fact

"In 1966, Illinois Representative Donald H. Rumsfeld went perhaps further than most when he charged the administration with letting contracts which "are illegal by statute." He urged investigation into the relationship between the private consortium working in Vietnam and the Johnson administration, in particular the infamous "President's Club," to which Brown & Root, one of the principle Vietnam contractors, had given tens of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions. Rumsfeld argued on behalf of serious inquiry into the whole affair saying, "under one contract, between the U.S. Government and this combine, [RMK-BRJ] it is officially estimated that obligations will reach at least $900 million by November 1967...why this huge contract has not been and is not now being adequately audited is beyond me. The potential for waste and profiteering under such a contract is substantial." (Cong. Rec., August 30, 1966) Rumsfeld's alarm was echoed by others in the congress and in the press as well, although will little affect. All the while, the war in southern Vietnam continued to spiral out of control despite the dramatic increases in firepower and troops and military construction. The government's contract with the Vietnam Builders ended only in 1972 shortly before the Nixon administration itself quit the commitment to the
long failed project."

Secretary Rumsfeld Interview with Jerry Agar KMBZ News Radio 980 Kansas City, Kan. Jun 30, 2005
Ted Kennedy is in the news this morning paralleling Vietnam and Iraq ... "One, is that the Americans weren't given the facts about Vietnam. And secondly, we always believed that there was a military solution to a political problem." ... The second point I'd make with respect to Ted Kennedy's Vietnam comparison, is that there's no one I know who thinks that there's a military solution to the insurgency. (DOD DefenseLINK -- News)
