COMMENT by Larry Ross, October 26, 2003

General Boykin is a Christian fundamentalist religious fanatic, who has been preaching holy US war against the Muslim world, and the sanctification of George Bush for some time. It is no surprise that the highest authorities in the Bush Administration have rewarded him by appointing him as deputy under-secretary of defense for intelligence.

We know from other documents on our web site, that the US is planning, presumably with Israel, to control the middle east region and its oil resources. Enlarging Israel by stealing Palestinian land, is just part of the overall strategy. Wars with Afghanistan and Iraq, and the planned wars with other ME states are the unfolding of this strategy. General Boykin's crusade-type preaching reflects the general enthusiasm of the US Christian Fundamentalist establishment for anti-Muslim, biblically-predicted, end-times Armageddonism.
