Make no mistake GW Bush did his job. Of course his job was only to secure US firmly into Iraq. Had GW, had a third term he would have had us out in the same timeline that Obama has committed, maybe even sooner.
Obama was selected for coronation into power for one reason only. Afghanistan and the need to surge us into another "no back out scenario" With the Taliban we face challenges for sure but everytime we bomb a villiage, mostly women and children, those we do not kill become the thing that justifies the Elite, Corporatists and IMC effort to push the free markets of hell down their throats, much as they did to us a long time ago.
Oh yes, we are free to speak and free to dissent, but we are prisoners of the free market. If you can't see this, you need to pause and check your bank account, balance sheet and prospects.
BUSH's IRAQ - OBAMA's VIETNAM
Afghanistan represents the same situation as Vietnam. Not in terrain but in geography. Only bush monkeys and tunnel rats could navigate the Dien Bien Phu. But similarly we find the US in another conflict where they cannot fight the enemy under rocks.
South Vietnam was about 67,000 square miles of hills and jungle and at peak in 1969 the US had 550,000 troops in Vietnam and Laos. Whereas Afghanistan has over 251,000 square miles and we currently have roughly 38,000 troops.
Vietnam - 1 troop for every .12 square mile
Afghanistan - 1 troop every 6.6 square miles
Not quite a winning formula, yet the Taliban enemy doesn't meet the number in Ho Nguyen Tat Thanh's army. Yet it's uncanny how we are staged to escalate the troops there for a surge that cannot achieve success. The plan of the New Order must be the same as they had in Vietnam.
A. Stage the Gulf of Tonkin and stage 911 to set the entry into the conflict.
B. Deploy troops in measured movements while lengthening the arms and weapons production for Corporatist profiteers.
C. Root out Communists - Extremists and Rejectionists and place a democratic capitalist sympathetic government. Not.
We are not fighting an army, a political ideology or a genocidal fascist dictator. We are fighting a shadow that moves around the globe like the shadows of night to day. From the US to the Phillipine Islands, terrorists are present.
Terrorism and the war on terrorism is simply a state sponsored attack at a particular location to allow the state or authority to perpetrate a larger crime, be it pre-emptive war, martial law, human rights violation or simple fear and intimidation. The Corporatists don't mind, it's good for business. The governments don't mind as it gives them a job and it never involves their military service and rarely that of their children. And finally the New Order [bankers] are the ultimate winners.
State sponsored terrorism has been around for a couple hundred years. You have to look at it from a business point of view. Bill has a bank. He makes money loaning money. Zeb has a bomb manufacturing plant and he makes weapons for protection. Bob has left the military, has no job but wants to be rich so he applies for work with Zeb. Bill has loaned Zeb money and Zeb has produced and sold some inventory. That's great, but Bill wants to loan Zeb some money. Zeb says he doesn't have the orders to pay the loan. Easy, Bill hires Bob to start a war. Now Zeb has the new orders to pay the loan. Bob runs for office paid for by Bill through Zeb. Bob will get rich and powerful and he won't forget Bill and his generousity. Bill reminds him that he will hire more Bobs to go through the same ranks as he did. Bob understands. Bob is glad to have other friends that he can relate with. Bob is not a racist. He likes all military types no matter what color they are. They share a tradition of special service.
Bill tells Bob that his friends need to prove themselves and Bob needs to help them and protect them. Bob agrees. Meanwhile Zeb is bringing his friends to Bill and Bill is loaning to all Zebs friends. All Zebs friends are finding Bobs of their own. This goes on until they realize they need to start a fellowship, an organization, a private club for all members. So they meet and make their charter and begin their club. A group made up of nothing but "BillZebBobs"
As Obama [Bob] has a membership in the club, we can look forward to eighteen more months of Iraq, followed by an Afghanistan escalation and another LBJ Vietnam followed by another election of a Bob and another location for the club to initiate. Without reservation I state that we would be better off outside of the Middle East and outside the influence of the club.
We can take our chances and wait for the club to make the mistake and get caught with their hands in the cookie jar or if America can't grasp the idea of electing a Ron Paul or Ralph Nader next time, we will be in conflict for eternity while we watch our friends and families die.
We can continue to watch our tax dollars go to the club members who loan it back to us at high interest while they play us for fools in the halls where once great men stood. Please see Robert Greenwalds "Why I am going to Afghanistan"
