How much you wanna bet there is no mention of the Project for the New American Century or the Clean Break strategy drawn up for Israel?
"How to contain radical Islam; The best global strategy to contain radical Islam may be the one that won the Cold War" by Commander Philip Kapusta and Captain Donovan Campbell | July 27, 2008
THE EVENTS OF Sept. 11, 2001, brutally announced the presence of an enemy seemingly distinct from any our country had faced before. Unlike previous adversaries, such as Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, or the Spanish monarchy, this new enemy was difficult to define, let alone understand. It was not motivated by causes that an avowedly secular government could easily comprehend, and it took an amorphous yet terrifying form with little historical precedent.
I'm tired of the lies, folks.
We KNOW what 9/11 was (false-flag, CIA/Mossad, inside job) and we know what "Al-CIA-Duh" is; therefore, we know this is ALL BULLSHIT!!!
And CUI BONO, 'eh, readers?
Underlying these global setbacks is a core problem: The United States has yet to formulate a holistic strategy to guide the prosecution of our new war. We have not articulated a clear set of mutually reinforcing goals, and we have not undertaken a consistent set of actions designed to achieve our aims even as they demonstrate our national values. Indeed, we have not even managed to properly identify our enemies; despite the rhetoric of the past seven years, America is not at war with terror, because terror is not a foe but a tactic.
I'm tired of the obfuscations, omissions and distortions of the AmeriKan MSM and its flagrant agenda-pushing, folks!
I'm not fooled anymore, and neither are you.
That's why you and I are here, readers!
Blundering forward, we have squandered the swell of global good will after 9/11, punished our friends, and rewarded our enemies with shortsighted, even self-destructive, tactics.
Yet what we face today is not wholly novel: It is a war of ideas, mirroring the Cold War. Like the Communists, violent Islamic extremists are trying to spread a worldview that denigrates personal liberty and demands submission to a narrow ideology.
Oh, that's what out "Islamist enemies" are doing, huh?
Then WHY is the U.S. GOVERNMENT PURSUING the SAME GOALS, assholes?
And, as with the Cold War, it must be our goal to stop them. The United States should therefore adopt a new version of the policy that served us so well during that last long war: containment.
Yeah, so "DEFENSE" contractors can GET RICH like they did for fifty years until 1991!!!!
CUI BONO, readers?
Like Marxism, militant Islam is long on promising the violent overthrow of the materialistic West and short on fashioning actual utopias.
Now the Islamists are like the Marxists -- even though the two groups couldn't be further apart!
Nice PROPAGANDA PUSHING, guys!!!!
And as far as violent overthrows and promising utopias, well, that would be the man you backed -- George W. Bush!!!
NSC-68 identified the essential clash between the United States and the Soviet Union as one between diametrically opposed ideologies. On the Soviet side was a dogmatic belief system that demanded absolute submission of individual freedom and sought to impose its authority over the rest of the world. On the American side was an ideology premised on the overriding value of freedom, a system founded upon the dignity and worth of the individual. This ideology relied upon its inherent appeal, and did not aim to bring other societies into conformity through force of arms.
Readers, AmeriKa is the NEW Soviet Union!!!!!!

I'm sorry, readers, I'm finding it hard to continue.
I am gagging on the bullshit being fed to us by these lying pukes!
Strikingly, if one replaces "communism" with "Islamic extremism" and "the Kremlin" with "Al-Qaeda," NSC-68 could have been written in 2002, not 1950. Like communism, Islamic extremism lusts for political power, in this case through the restoration of the caliphate and the imposition of Sharia law on all peoples.
Good thing AmeriKa's leaders don't lust after power -- or oil -- huh, readers?!
And it's a good thing AmeriKa isn't trying to impose or laws and systems on people, huh?
Indeed, language from NSC-68 rings eerily true today - it described the Soviets as "animated by a new fanatic faith, antithetical to our own." Al Qaeda and its ilk are the latest in a long line of narrow ideologies that claim to provide the only true answer to life's existential questions. And as with Soviet communism, the idea has a geographic nucleus.
Lebanon in the Middle East and Pakistan in Central Asia are some of the best countries in which to begin and expand this work.
You GOT THAT SIGNAL, world?!
No wonder Lebanon has seen a return to violence the last few days (Pakistan and the MSM treatment of such speaks for itself).
In Lebanon's complex political landscape, Iran and Syria support the Islamist Hezbollah party-cum-militia, while the United States backs the secular Lebanese government. Another Islamist movement, Fatah al-Islam, enjoys a nebulous connection to Al Qaeda.
Need I say more about this FRAUD, readers?
We should be using our country's massive financial resources to allow the Lebanese government to outspend its competitors by a factor of 10, showering much-needed aid on the Lebanese people, and thus de-legitimizing their opponents and debunking their ideology.
Yeah, let's send MORE MONEY outside this country in the furtherance of WAR!!
I've about HAD IT with these neo-con shits!!!
STRING 'EM UP!!!!!!!!!!!!
Instead, the government cannot meet its basic responsibilities, and extremist movements are increasingly seen as the only institutions capable of bettering lives.
Hello, AmeriKa, huh?!
In Pakistan, the extremist cancer in the northwestern provinces continues to grow despite $5.5 billion in direct US military aid. Pakistan's dangerously unstable new civilian government lacks the capability and will to challenge Al Qaeda and the Taliban in the region.
Yup, whatever: The REAL Taliban
"The Taliban is growing and creating new alliances not because its sectarian religious practices have become popular, but because it is the only available umbrella for national liberation"
On occasion, extremist governments hostile to the existence of the United States (Hamas in the Gaza Strip) will enjoy broad popular support, but preemptive wars must become a thing of the past. We cannot say that we value freedom and then seek political change through force when the choice of the people produces regimes not to our liking. However, the military can, and must, be used to target individuals bent on terror aimed at American interests. Furthermore, if a nation enables attacks on our homeland, as Afghanistan did under the Taliban, then we must use all necessary means to defend ourselves. On rare occasions, this will require full-out war and post-invasion reconstruction.
Translation: Despite the high-sounding rhetoric, this is an ENDORSEMENT of the WHOLE Neo-Con AGENDA!!!!!!
Going forward, adopting a strategy of neocontainment will entail checking Iran's expansion efforts through proxies rather than direct strikes against the country itself.
Why did I KNOW they would get around to IRAN?!
And as far as the proxies go, we are, we are: U.S. Government Harbors Terrorist Jundallah
You know, some might call what we are doing to Iran TERRORISM!!!
Just a thought, AmeriKans!
Just as we limited Soviet expansion without using overt force against the Warsaw Pact, so too can we contain the Iranian regime.
Yeah, and in the process of "limiting" Soviet Expansion, we just happened to KILL MILLIONS of people around the globe!
As an American, the EXCEPTIONALISM gets to you after a while and makes you reach for an airsick bag!!!!
Furthermore, we must institutionalize the lessons learned so painfully over seven years of war. The military must dramatically improve its nation-building doctrine, capacity, and will, acknowledging that postwar stability is much more important in the long run than is dominating the active combat phase. We remain unchallenged in our ability to win conventional military conflicts, but we must develop the language skills, cultural awareness, and civil-affairs specialists necessary to prevail in unconventional campaigns and in fighting's messy aftermath.
Translation: NEVER-ENDING WAR!!
And CUI BONO, folks?
Our next president will inherit a nation weary of war, a world skeptical of American motives and actions, and undecided conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Yes, we ain't as think as you dumb we are!
However, the energy and excitement of a government transition offer both the outgoing and incoming administrations the opportunity to take bold steps.
I DON'T LIKE the sound of that!
After all, Rice and Rumsfeld said 9/11 was an OPPORTUNITY -- and that is the sign of an ILL MIND!!!!
On the battlefield, it is at least as important to articulate what you are for as it is to define what you are against. In a war of ideas, this is even more critical. To do this across the world, nation by nation, will take time, and that does not come naturally to our fast paced, results-oriented society.
Translation: The PLAN for WORLD EMPIRE and CONTROL ADVANCES!!!!
But we need to muster the requisite patience. Untold numbers of lives hinge on it."
That last sentence was downright offensive when you consider the knowledge regarding false-flag ops!
And MILLIONS have been MURDERED off the DAMNABLE LIES already!!!!
By the way, I think the Boston Globe's Ideas suck!
Please see:The Boston Globe Has Shit For Brains
The Boston Globe Says Natural Disasters Are Good For the Economy
All from the same stink shits that lied about the NAU, said a DEPRESSION would be a good idea, that being poor is your own fault, and pushed the propaganda a whole pile.
And they then returned to that last theme again today.
They just RECYCLE the BULLSHIT, don't they?
