The Bush administration had planned to commit
war crimes from the outset of the administration.
Long before 911, Bush prepared legislation that
would exempt US troops from war crimes
prosecution at the Hague, specifically,
violations of the Geneva Conventions later
violated in fact at Abu Ghraib. The measure
positioned Bush in advance to exploit the
crime of 911, though it had not yet happened.
To this end, Bush sought Congressional
authorization to go to war with the
Netherlands should US troops find themselves on
trial for war crimes at the Hague! The Bush
administration moved forward with plans to
attack Afghanistan months before 911 as
negotiations with the Taliban broke down...

as a source of stability in Central
Asia that would enable the
construction of an oil pipeline
across Central Asia" from
the rich oilfields in Turkmenistan,
Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan, through
Afghanistan and Pakistan, to the
Indian Ocean. Until now, says the
book, "the oil and gas reserves of
Central Asia have been controlled by
Russia. The Bush government
wanted to change all that."
But, confronted with Taliban's
refusal to accept US conditions,
"this rationale of energy security
changed into a military one",
the authors claim.

"At one moment during the negotiations,
the US representatives told the Taliban, '
either you accept our offer of a carpet of
gold, or we bury you under a carpet of bombs,'"
Brisard said in an interview in Paris.
