Strategery for A New American Century
Posted by alexahentay on January 12, 2007
Guided by Neo-Conservative doctrine and his own religious naivette, George W. has managed to spoon out more dirt from the hole he’s digging straight to North Korea. If you haven’t heard of Project for the New American Century (PNAC), take a look at their website to see the ideolody that is running this country. Read the September 2000 publication, Rebuilding America’s Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources for a New Century. This ‘Think Tank’ is one of many groups pulling the strings of the president and the country. Paul Wolfowitz, I. Lewis Libby, Dov Zakheim, etc., a virtual neo-con cabal whispering into the president’s ear.
In his latest middle finger to the American Public, Bush decided to send 21,500 more troops to Iraq. A 1999 series of U.S. war games determined that an invasion of Iraq would require 400,000 troops. The recent move would give us a total of approximately 130,000 troops in the region; still far short of 400,000. What does this accomplish? That George W. is still in office says a lot about the ideology and unfortunately the apathy of the American public.
From being led into a war under false pretenses to ignoring his own congress, the lack of accountability is astounding. In his January 11 broadcast, Keith Olberman provided bullet-point commentary on why this latest move will fail. Citing a complete lack of credibility, Olbermann managed to outline the presidential lies in a 2.5 minute speech. Watch it here:
Olbermann is not the only one to disagree with the latest move. In the January 10 edition of the Washington Post, Republican Senator Chuck Hagel opined that the U.S.:
…misunderstood, misread, misplanned and mismanaged our honorable intentions in Iraq with an arrogant self-delusion reminiscent of Vietnam.
Is it so presumptuous to think that the Christian-right’s Democracy is not the same freedom other people seek. What arrogance is it that we should go into a foreign country under the pretense of liberation and Democracy. I do believe Bush said he was not a “Nation Builder“.
Instead of calling this a fight against terror, liberation, Democracy bringing etc., why not call it what it is; angling for a strategic position in the middle east for future conquests in Europe and especially Asia. One of the core foundations of PNAC is that the U.S. must build a political and military presence in the Middle East as a staging point for future wars.
I suppose now is a good time to invest in Real Estate…
