To War or Not To War

Meanderings of the War Party

As the orders for the dispatch of up to 65,000 more Military personnel to the Gulf region were issued by the contemptible Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld last weekend. The glaring revelation of Rumsfeld’s utter contempt for the men and women in the military is stunningly revealed in one of his obnoxious Pentagon press briefings. Yes, when it comes down to it, our elites, especially of the neocon variety, hold the average military grunt in low esteem to be used as cannon fodder for the augmentation of their imperial designs. It is becoming increasingly simplistic to see past the facade of the elites and see the truth of their natures, one that the Apostle Paul described so clearly in 2nd Timothy 3: 1-6.

The question of the proposed liberal draft came up, and Sir Rumsfeld’s explanation that the draft was not needed and that it was not a good idea anyway because it produced low quality warriors not worthy of the Bush war machine, and that draftees really had – “no value, no advantage, really, to the United States armed services.” shows the utter contempt these elites have for all Americans who had answered their governments illegitimate call to authoritative slavery to fight their foreign wars in the past. These no value draftees bravely laid down their lives so that the American aristocracy could increase their portfolios while their blue blooded son’s received scholastic exemptions so they can be in glorious places in the future where they can issue orders for the next generation of simpletons to go abroad and die for their conceited interests and preferred conglomerates. Besides, today’s hired guns of the professional category are much more applicable for their avaricious desires then say, a malcontent draftee.

By mid- to late February the Bush regime will have about 150,000 American forces in place for a possible invasion of Iraq and beyond. There are many in the media and in the government that are saying that the invasion has been put off indefinitely, and at the very least there probably will not be an invasion until late this year, if ever. As former gulf war veteran General Barry McCaffery succinctly stated, all this talk is but: “wisps of smoke in a jar”. By the end of next month the military reality will take over the political one. Massive deployments such as the one underway create an energy of their own, and simply is not a multi-billion dollar bluff so that the evil incarnate Saddam can give up his nest egg with so little shots fired.

The battle for Iraq is projected to be both fleeting and atrocious. Baghdad will be the strategic point of contention where according to military analysts, airborne drops on Baghdad in conjunction with tank forces from Kuwait and Qatar will encircle the city for a destructive siege. Speed is essential for the contemplated modern day blitzkrieg to succeed, in a strategy that would make Guderian and Rommel tingle with delight and anticipation. The desert fox like a phoenix has risen to see another day.

The avatars of war and plunder such as Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz and
Condoleezza Rice, will not be held back by President Bush taking Powell’s lethargic road to United Nations communist intrigue and deception. It is clear the war party has no intention of accepting Iraqi claims that it is complying with November’s UN Security Council resolution to give up its WMD’s. The implementation of a new strategy by the war party called the Kosovo option will easily be put into place, which simply is; the United States once again will launch military strikes without U.N. backing based entirely on propaganda and misinformation. If one or more members of the Security Council lift’s up a diplomatic fit then that is just too bad, and if our so called allies around the world do not like it, well, what are they going to do about it? The financial cost for this aggression will be offset by the potential booty of Iraqi assets, simply stated, don’t worry about the financial cost to Americans, the Iraqi’s will pay for it in mammon and blood. Do not feel bad for the Iraqi’s; they are just a bunch of rag heads which our so called friends the Israelis don’t like anyhow. Besides, our elites can run their lives better than they can, at least they will be educated in the virtues of civilized western behavior.

Mean while the other source of a potential side tracking of the much anticipated invasion is the nuclear card brilliantly played by the impertinent Made in China – North Koreans. One must appreciate the seriousness of North Korean insolence and nuclear brinkmanship when we come to understand that Pyongyang is seriously involved in the proliferation of missile and nuclear technology to Middle Eastern countries such as Egypt, Libya, Syria and most significantly Iran. North Korea is heavily involved in the Libyan al Kufra nuclear center where the Bush regime can find most of the Iraqi nuclear scientists if they were truly interested in how advanced Saddam’s nuclear WMDs are. It is no small matter that Americans are beginning to see that the Bush government has failed and cannot intelligently and realistically explain to the American people why Iraq poses a greater threat to the elites “war on evil” than North Korea. The bombastic Donald Rumsfeld responding to Pyongyang’s reactivating the Yongbyon reactor antagonistically bellowed that his professional military can The question must be asked what would be the point to such a conflagration.

One should take a good look at the meanderings of the likes of Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz, in the end, neocons are about cowardice and bullying people that do not have the ability to defend themselves. Case in point, this just released by the White House: “ Jeanie Mamo, White House spokeswoman, said on Saturday. I see some type of pay off headed towards Pyongyang by the Bush administration in the form of aid, one that would make Clinton proud.

As I write this column, and is picking up steam. One must get past the aversion of the Hollywood types that were present in American antiwar demonstrations, by proxy they are doing what all patriots should be doing, protesting a constitutionally illegitimate and illegal war. Let the nationalists rant all they want, the pressure is on and we must keep it up. Speaking of nationalists, there were also a few hundred neocon counter-protestors from the mainstream leftist website hypocritically called Free Republic. As one of their conditioned sheeple espoused “I don’t like war, but it’s necessary,” one should have asked the same individual this question, why is it necessary? I’m sure the limited response would have been essentially “because”.
