MADSEN'S BOMBSHELL

Replete with naval analogies, Wayne Madsen (a former Navy officer and NSA employee during the Iran Contra years) relays an uncorroborated charge -- I repeat this is uncorroborated -- about the bombing of the USS Cole:

"The former CIA agent who worked with the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force in New York and New Jersey stated that the USS Cole was hit by a specially-configured Popeye cruise missile launched from an Israeli Dolphin-class submarine. Israeli tests of the missile in May 2000 in the waters off Sri Lanka demonstrated it could hit a target 930 miles away. The ex-CIA agent also stated that Ambassador Bodine threw (FBI investigator) John O’Neill and his team out of Yemen lest their investigation began uncovering evidence that the Cole was not blown up by an explosive-laden boat but by an Israeli cruise missile.

The former CIA agent said the reason for the Israeli attack was to further galvanize U.S. public opinion against both Al Qaeda and the Democrats in the weeks prior to the 2000 presidential elections. The Bush-Cheney team could blame the Democrats for not taking the Al Qaeda threat seriously. However, this is exactly the tact the Bush administration took after taking office: failure to support the CIA-FBI’s Alex Station, pressuring John O’Neill and other agents like Minneapolis agent Coleen Rowley and others across the nation who detected activity involving Arab flight students, and pulling the plug on a major data mining operation directed against Al Qaeda code named Able Danger, which was being jointly run by the DIA and the Special Operations Command. "

The article is a must-read,with many tangents and details about the real "Al Qaeda" as opposed to the myth we are hammered with on corporate media.

Much of the piece concerns John O'Neil and his thwarted investigations of "Al Qaeda."

For example:

"O’Neill was not permitted to interview Yemenis who witnessed the Cole explosion. O’Neill was not permitted to examine the hat worn by one of the bombers in the boat nor was he allowed to examine the harbor sludge for evidence.

O’Neill was soon pulled out of Yemen and Bodine refused him and his team permission to re-enter the country. O’Neill was getting too close to something. In February, 2001, after Yemen’s Interior Minister Hussein Mohammed Arab made a statement that there was no evidence linking the Cole bombing to Al Qaeda ("Investigations have not so far proved, either to us or to the Americans, any link between Osama bin Laden and the Cole bombing."), the Bush administration showed no desire to find out who actually bombed the ship. They were too busy clearing the baffles for the Iraq invasion and their other agendas. "

While unconfirmed, the evidence seems to fit the pattern described by Madsen, and numerous others. Remember also Israel's unprovoked attack on the USS Liberty (there's a metaphor for you).

Let us not forget several thiings about Israeli tactics:

1) "By Way of Deception Thou Shalt Do War" - this is the Mossad's motto, as relayed by former Mossad agent Victor Ostrovsky.

2) Israelis have repeatedly carried out "false flag" terrorist operations that target civilians and lay blame upon their enemies. See: The Lavon Affiar where Israeli agents blew up even United States buildings in Egypt, and Ostrovsky, in his book, tells of a German nightclub bombing in 1986 that Mossad engineered to appear as if the Libyans had executed it. This "false flag" pattern is preferred by covert terror agencies. It's how immoral leaders terrorize their populations in order to launch aggressive wars of choice.

3) The US has conspired wtih Israel on many occasions. Simply sending Israel multiple billions of dollars worth of weaponry and aid per year without cease is a fleecing of US taxpayers. [ http://www.ifamericansknew.org/stats/cost_of_israel.html ]

The United States has a long history of blocking United Nations punitive resolutions against illegal Israeli acts in Palestine.

4) The "new Pearl Harbor" mode is one that benefits Israel as well as it does its neo-con architects such as Richard Perle and Douglas Feith, who have worked on behalf of the Israeli government while plotting to hijack the American one.

The Lawrence Franklin / AIPAC spy case [ http://www.antiwar.com/justin/?articleid=7454 ] is just one of many such operations
[ http://www.waynemadsenreport.com/Artstudents.htm ].

In closing, here is some direct evidence that the Israeli government was "recruiting Al Qaeda fighters," [ http://www.middle-east-online.com/english/?id=3544 ] purportedly on behalf of Osama bin Laden (story was even covered in Israel) [ http://www.israelnationalnews.com/article.php3?id=1702 ].

This is what modern covert terror looks like. Get used to it, and get a handle on it.

Who benefits?
Who has the capability to pull it off?
Who has a pattern of doing the exact same thing?

Hey magmak-

I believe it 100percent

And arneoker will saunter by and say wayne madsen is not credible.

But it is.

Imagine if this ever can be proven true,what it does to Marine's defense position
