Snowden on Board? Bolivian President's Plane Forced to Land in Austria

[Magda Hassan]

I think this is the same guy that I used to listen to during the Libyan no fly slaughter. He is legit. But there are many strange things going on. France and Portugal and Italy have cleared his plane. Spain has said, and I kid you not, that they have to check with their 'friend' (the US) to see if it is okay....talk about a little lickspittle vassal state. The Spanish ambassador in Austria also wanted to "drink some coffee on board the plane with Morales to make sure there was no Snowden on board". The Austrians have said they don't fear Snowden and allowed the plane to land. As President Cristina Kirchner said "Mother of God the world has gone mad" as she conversed with Evo and he legal advisors.

Tha Spanish Ambassador to Austria was none other than the extreme right winger Alberto Carnero and Bush lackey who attended the meeting with Bush and others in Crawford where Saddam's fate was sealed.

The Bush-Aznar memo is a reportedly a documentation of a February 22, 2003 conversation in Crawford, Texas between George W. Bush, then-Prime Minister of Spain José Aznar, then-National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, Daniel Fried, Alberto Carnero, and Javier Rupérez, the Spanish ambassador to the U.S. British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Italian President Berlusconi participated by telephone. Rupérez transcribed the meeting's details which El País, a Madrid daily newspaper, published on September 26, 2007. The conversation focuses on the efforts of the US, UK, and Spain to get a second resolution passed by the United Nations Security Council. This "second resolution" would have followed Resolution 1441. Supporters of the resolution also referred to it as the "eighteenth resolution" in reference to the 17 UN resolutions that Iraq had failed to comply with.
The memo provided insight into the run-up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq. The memo revealed that Saddam Hussein had offered to step-down and leave Iraq if he were allowed to keep $1 billion. Some have suggested that this indicates that the war was avoidable. According to the account in El País, the memo also gives details on how Bush tried to coerce members of the United Nations Security Council into supporting US policy: He tells Aznar how he can cut Angola's foreign aid from the Millennium Challenge Account and how he can torpedo the free trade agreement with Chile (awaiting ratification in the United States Senate at the time) if the two countries did not back US policy. Another portion of the transcript shows Bush's confidence Iraq's stability after the invasion.
