Rumsfeld's Top Secret Intelligence Reports Were Covered in Biblical Quotes

Former defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld routinely used militaristic passages from the Bible on the cover pages of White House intelligence documents, according to new revelations by GQ magazine.

It said Rumsfeld displayed the passages over photographs of U.S. forces in Iraq to curry favor with then president George W. Bush, despite concerns about the incendiary impact on the Islamic world if they were ever made public.

One republished on the GQ website came from March 31, 2003, showing a U.S. tank roaring through the desert about 10 days after the United States invaded Iraq to topple the regime of Saddam Hussein.

Over the image was printed a verse from Ephesians: "Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand."

This seems fairly typical, manipulating Bush's beliefs for an agenda which, post-911, Bush was forced to follow. This meant he could do so with a vestigial conscience while Rumsfeld, Cheney and their mobsters could terrorize the whole world.

The Fraudulent War - free ebook on the 'War on Terror'

The Fraudulent War - The facts about the Bush Administration's 'War on Terror' by Richard W. Behan is a quick but thorough dive through the dark waters of the scam that is America's war on terror. Well documented it shows that the wars against both Afghanistan and Iraq were purely and simply a land-grab for oil. They were planned well before the WTC attack with bin Laden serving as a convenient patsy.

Although the oil fields in Iraq are vastly richer than those in Afghanistan the story about the demonization of the Taliban is perhaps the more interesting. The Taliban repeatedly offered to hand over Osama bin Laden to the USA but stubbornly refused to renege on a contract they had signed in 1996 with Bridas Corporation of Argentina to build the Trans Afghanistan Pipeline. The USA didn't care about bin Laden; they just wanted the oil and pushed for American Unocal to steal the contract away from Bridas. In 1998 Unocal asked the House Committee on Internation Relations to remove the Taliban from power. Five weeks before 9/11 Bush informed Pakistan and India that he would be launching an attack on the Taliban. That very week after 9/11 Taliban negotiators repeated that they could hand over bin Laden. Bush refused - it was the oil, stupid! On 7 October 2001 the carpet bombing of Afghanistan started with the excuse of hitting both bin Laden and the Taliban for harbouring him!

With the Taliban removed, the first US appointed head of an Afghan interim government was Hamid Karzai, who later became elected President. Hamid Karzai was a consultant to Unocal. The first US envoy to Afghanistan was John Maresca, former Vice president of Unocal. The next Ambassador to Afghanistan is Zalmay Khalizad, a former consultant to Unocal and founder of the Project for a New American Century (PNAC). You can read about PNAC in the ebook.

And all of this funded by the American taxpayers for the profits of big oil and military contractors.

In the past I have referred to it as the War on Ghosts... and so it seems.
