Those who do not question and challenge authority now, while still legally permitted to do so, will ultimately have blood on their hands, because they stood by and did nothing while the opportunity for a non-violent and effective restoration of the pre-9/11 provisions of the American Consitution was still a possibility.

Meet the new boss....same as the old boss....

The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubris">hubris</a> that leaps off the pages of
this thread and in the posts of the most prolific participants these days at this political
forum, is offensive to a number of us who exhibit a different way of looking at current events
in The U.S. and in the UK. Note the time frame when the Diego Garcia "Op" was executed.
The islanders were forcibly evacuated in the early 70's and U.S. military construction began in
1976. The "adults" were "in charge" of the U.S. government in those days....initially Nixon,
and subsequently, after Nixon's resignation, Ford was POTUS and Cheney was his COS, and <a href="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/pentagon/paths/ford.html">Rumsfeld</a> was his SOD....and....they're back......and too many Americans and Brits are still willing to follow them over a cliff....<b>in the name of C-O-R-P-O-R-A-T-I-S-M not L-I-B-E-R-T-Y</b>
Just a side note, construction started in 1971

Probably the place's prickliest subject is the issue of the 1,200 to 2,000 members of the Ilois, former inhabitants the British moved off the island in the late 1960s. They now live 1,200 miles away on the isle of Mauritus. As the descendants of workers who arrived on the island in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, they had lived there for several generations. But U.S. and British government texts refer to them merely as temporary workers, not indigenous inhabitants. Before those colonial workers, apparently no one ever settled there. The U.S. lease expires in 2016, and the Ilois are making plans return to turn the place into a sugarcane and fishing enterprise.
So the British used basicly eminent domain (which is in fact something I hate but supported by the left) and the land goes back to the islanders in 10 years.

But thanks for the info host, I had no idea the US had such a vital naval and airbase there.
