Deja vu all over again:
PNACker promotes
perpetual world war.
Obama-Gates-Mullen: Me too

The Times in the person of familiar fool-tool Thom Shanker explained this weekend why the Pentagon must be redoubled to fight not just one, not just two, but several wars, indeed many, simultaneously …

The piece focuses on Gates and anonymous brass, and is clear that the movement to re-tool the Pentagon for perpetual occupation of new far flung places (and thus for continual “counterinsurgency” warfare) is front and center.

This unilateral militarist movement became policy with the installation of Bush-Cheney, after a struggle during the 90s, post collapse of Soviet Union, among the hearts & minds of Washington and Wall Street.

And Obama — by making no changes atop the Pentagon and hiring generals to run most of the remainder of the foreign policy establishment — is doing little more than shout Me Too.  No Change We Need.  Very little change at all.

While the policy is not eccentric, Shanker quotes at some length a familiar Beltway cretin named Donnelly selling it.

Donnelly was the “Principal Author” of Rebuilding America’s Defenses — that manifesto of global conquest issued in September 2000 by Likud Lobby organ The Project for the New American Century (founded in 1997 by Perle, Wolfowitz, baby Kristol, the Kagans, etc, to promote a US war on Iraq).

Sounding like Rumsfeld, Principal Author Donnelly encourages Obama to sound like Cheney:

QUOTE

Thomas Donnelly, a defense policy expert with the conservative American Enterprise Institute, said he believed that the Obama administration would be seeking to come up with “a multiwar, multioperation, multifront, walk-and-chew-gum construct.”

“We have to do many things simultaneously if our goal is to remain the ultimate guarantor of international security,” Mr. Donnelly said.

“The hedge against a rising China requires a very different kind of force than fighting an irregular war in Afghanistan or invading Iraq or building partnership capacity in Africa.”

END QUOTE

Preparing to win a nuclear war with China is a primary concern of the 2000 manifesto. Consolidating the Pentagon’s new empire in Africa is a more recent now familiar clanging bell.

Donnelly plainly needs a hole to drain the swamp between his ears.

As for Shanker, who willy nilly figured loudly in a disinformation campaign years ago designed, by Brit-Franco interests, to confuse and deflect US policy and thus ease the Bosnian state and people into oblivion … Something more like an Egyptian dungeon perhaps …

But, again, while the salesmanship may here be eccentric, the policy is mainstream, although largely unreported upon in the mainstream.    And so far Obama seems entirely in step with it. Enter the War Room.
