Well, with PNAC already on record at that point, Bush was LYING EVEN THEN!!!!
And look what he leaves you as a legacy, Americans:
"Army's new manual puts a high priority on nation-building"
"by John Milburn, Associated Press | February 29, 2008
FORT LEAVENWORTH, Kan. - The Army yesterday rolled out the first revision of its operations manual since the Sept. 11 terror attacks, putting stability operations - nation-building - on par with combat.
This from the guys whom were saying the military shouldn't be used this way, blah, blah, blah!
How's that bowl of shit taste, Americans, because you are going to be OCCUPYING the GLOBE and BUILDING UP OTHERS while America comes apart at the seams!!!
Army officials said the revision reflects a focus on fighting terrorism.
Yeah, the catch-all fraud of an excuse for all this -- a big. fat stinking lie!!!!
"The field manual is our Army's blueprint for an uncertain future," said Lieutenant General William Caldwell IV, commander of Fort Leavenworth, where the document was produced. "It does provide the blueprint for how we, as an Army, will operate over the next 10 to 15 years."
The new manual reflects Army experiences over the past six years of fighting the Taliban and Al Qaeda in Afghanistan and insurgents in Iraq, as well as with relief efforts after hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
Yeah, it is the U.S. PLAN for COMPLETE MILITARIZATION of the WORLD!!!!
Never mind that every example sited above was a CATASTROPHIC FAILURE!!!!
Caldwell said the United States will focus on building its influence in nations plagued by conflicts so that it can make them stable and secure.
How about SECURING AMERICA for a change?
We are in real trouble!
"If we are going to be a successful instrument of national will, we need to be as competent in executing stability operations as we have traditionally been in combat-military operations," Caldwell said.
In Iraq in the past few years, the United States has trained Iraqi security forces and is helping government ministries develop. A surge of 30,000 troops in January 2007 sought to root out insurgents and allow the Iraqi government to function.
Future operations, military officials say, will depend on joint efforts by all military branches and other US government agencies to assist foreign nations. Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates has repeatedly stressed that the military cannot accomplish all national security goals alone.
General William Wallace, commander of the Army's Training and Doctrine Command, calls the manual "evolutionary," incorporating new military ideas while retaining core Army values.
Translation: The U.S. is going to MILITARIZE the PLANET!!!
He said the current operations require initiatives that may not involve combat.
"It also requires leaders at every level to think and act flexibly, constantly adapting to the situation," he writes in an article appearing in this week's Military Review.
Work on the manual began in 2004, when Wallace was Fort Leavenworth's commander. He picked writers with operations or leadership experience and sought out officers who had graduated from the Army's elite School for Advanced Military Studies.
Lieutenant Colonel Steven Leonard, one of the team members at Fort Leavenworth, said some of the authors came "directly out of theater." Leonard was a logistician who worked with the 101st Airborne Division.
The Army also used conferences and reviews to shape the manual, involving senior Army leaders, civilian officials, members of Congress, and the news media.
Welcome to the MILITARY DICTATORSHIP, readers!
The Army shaped the manual with the HELP of the NEWS MEDIA, huh?
Just like they shaped opinions about the surge "success?"
Caldwell said he and Wallace also have been discussing the operations manual with Army "graybeards." They recognize that the United States has few military peers that would challenge it in conventional combat, the signature threat of the Cold War era.
Have these guys taken a look around lately?
Rag-tag bands of insurgents have us tied up in knots!!
You know, the OVER-CONFIDENT ARROGANCE of generals can LOSE WARS, folks!
What's it matter, anyway?
We got nukes in the quiver, and the American president will use them before being defeated.
"The environment has changed, and we need to alter our view as to how we organize, train, and prepare ourselves to operate in the 21st century," Caldwell said.
PNAC!
Ike Skelton, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, gave the manual good marks.
"I'm encouraged that the Army's new manual recognizes the importance of stability operations to address today's security challenges," said Skelton, a Missouri Democrat. "It represents a significant step forward, and our soldiers who have been fighting these two wars in Afghanistan and Iraq will see their hard-learned lessons reflected in the text.
Oh, the DemocraP is all happy, too, so you can kiss this country good-bye, readers.
An agenda of NEVER-ENDING WARS for the American people -- for as long as they last!
Richard Weitz, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, wasn't sure what long-term effect the manual will have.
"The limited durability of the Army's past efforts to stress nation-building and counterinsurgency, while deemphasizing the importance of winning conventional wars, does not bode well," he wrote in a critique for World Politics Review.
Weitz cites the Army's experience after Vietnam. After an emphasis on fighting insurgents, he said, the Army lost interest and under President Reagan purchased weapons aimed at defeating the Soviet Union in a conventional fight. He said focusing on high-tech systems instead of civil affairs failed to achieve as much success as hoped in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"The willingness of the rest of the US defense establishment to undertake a comprehensive restructuring program aimed at undertaking noncombat operations better is doubtful," Weitz said."So seven years later, Bush's "no nation-building" policy is now a BUSH DOCTRINE of NATION-BUILDING and OCCUPATIONS!!!!
Coincidence?
Here's that other bowl of shit for you, 'murkns!
EAT UP!!!!
I say IMPEACH and IMPRISON THIS FUCKING WAR-CRIMINAL and his ADMINISTRATION and FUCK its plans for WORLD DOMINATION!!!
