Bush administration arranged support for militants attacking Lebanon
http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Hersh_Bush_arranged_support_for_militants_0522.html
In an interview on CNN International's Your World Today,
veteran journalist Seymour Hersh explains that the current violence
in Lebanon is the result of an attempt by the Lebanese government
to crack down on a militant Sunni group, Fatah al-Islam,
that it formerly supported.
Last March, Hersh reported that American policy in the Middle East
had shifted to opposing Iran, Syria, and their Shia allies at any
cost, even if it meant backing hardline Sunni jihadists.
A key element of this policy shift was an agreement among
Vice President ***** Cheney, Deputy National Security Advisor
Elliot Abrams, and Prince Bandar bin Sultan, the Saudi national
security adviser, whereby the Saudis would covertly fund the
Sunni Fatah al-Islam in Lebanon as a counterweight to the Shia
Hezbollah.
Hersh points out that the current situation is much like that
during the conflict in Afghanistan in the 1980's –
which gave rise to al Qaeda – with the same people involved
in both the US and Saudi Arabia and the "same pattern" of the US using
jihadists that the Saudis assure us they can control.
When asked why the administration would be acting in a way
that appears to run counter to US interests, Hersh says that,
since the Israelis lost to them last summer, "the fear of Hezbollah
in Washington, particularly in the White House, is acute."
As a result, Hersh implies, the Bush administration is no
longer acting rationally in its policy. "We're in the business
of supporting the Sunnis anywhere we can against the Shia. ...
"We're in the business of creating ... sectarian violence."
And he describes the scheme of funding Fatah al-Islam as
"a covert program we joined in with the Saudis as part of
a bigger, broader program of doing everything we could
to stop the spread of the Shia world, and it just simply --
it bit us in the rear."

They want to increase the H1B quota by 50,000.
They call it ''needed'' because Americans are not
there in the Engineering PhD programs. But let us
analyze some facts. ...
Who will enjoy these extra 50,000 H1B quota?
The American corporation will enjoy by bringing
in foreign nationals depressing the wages of
American citizens. ...
The H1B quota is being increased to
help the rich Americans and American
corporations to artificially lower the professional
wages and disregard labor laws in America.
