Gee, more Unintended Consequences, whoda guessed?
Go in nine minutes. Then watch two or three.

Now, go watch it from the beginning.
Watch Bush lie, get Straight Up Busted, and nobody in the media sinks teeth into it. That moment should have been pounded into the ground, for weeks.
Pay attention to Ron Paul asking the Federal Reserve guy about gold swap activities of the Federal Reserve.
If you think these military excursions have been some great humanitarian effort, you REALLY need to watch this.
And pay attention to what Gaddafi Warns the U.N.SECURITY council about.
Gee, unintended consequences,, easily foreseen, but since they weren't the Publicly ANNOUNCED goal, they are, by Their definition, unintended.
Kinda like feigning shock to see the guy you punched in the eye yesterday NOW has a shiner and you shrug and say the Shiner was an unintended consequence of your fist hitting his face. Rubbish.
