Neo-cons dream of global dominance
Sat, 16 Aug 2008 05:38:36 http://www.presstv.com/detail.aspx?i...&ionid=3510203 Former assistant secretary of the US Treasury, Paul Craig Roberts says the Bush administration ordered Georgia to ethnically cleanse South Ossetia. Roberts, speaking in an exclusive interview with Press TV said that that Dick Cheney and his neo-con cronies are out of touch with reality because they actually think that they could conquer Russia by pushing Georgia to attack South Ossetia. Roberts also said that the current administration, guided as it is by neo-con ideologies is capable of creating another world war and using the nuclear bomb for imposing its dominance on the globe. He said that Republican presidential hopeful John McCain has declared, In the 21st century nations don't invade other nations. However In the early years of the 21st century the United States has already invaded two countries and has been beating the drums for attacking Iran. President Bush, the chief invader of the 21st century, has echoed McCain's claim that nations don't invade other nations. The former Reagan administration official said that Ukraine, where nationalism has taken hold funded by the neo-con National Endowment for Democracy, will be the next conflict between American pretensions and Russia. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Two Morons: Bush and Saakashvili "President Bush, Will You Please Shut Up?" (dont' agree with what Roberts wrote about 9/11 in the following piece, but it is still a good read): http://counterpunch.org/roberts08132008.html --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://NEOCONZIONISTTHREAT.COM ---------------------------------------------------------------: Subject: Blowback From Bear-Baiting Date: Friday, August 15, 2008, 7:53 PM August 15, 2008 Blowback From Bear-Baiting by Patrick J. Buchanan Mikheil Saakashvili's decision to use the opening of the Olympic Games to cover Georgia's invasion of its breakaway province of South Ossetia must rank in stupidity with Gamal Abdel-Nasser's decision to close the Straits of Tiran to Israeli ships.Nasser's blunder cost him the Sinai in the Six-Day War. Saakashvili's blunder probably means permanent loss of South Ossetia and Abkhazia.After shelling and attacking what he claims is his own country, killing scores of his own Ossetian citizens and sending tens of thousands fleeing into Russia, Saakashvili's army was whipped back into Georgia in 48 hours.Vladimir Putin took the opportunity to kick the Georgian army out of Abkhazia, as well, to bomb Tbilisi, and to seize Gori, birthplace of Stalin.Reveling in his status as an intimate of George Bush, Dick Cheney, and John McCain, and America's lone democratic ally in the Caucasus, Saakashvili thought he could get away with a lightning coup and present the world with a fait accompli.Mikheil did not reckon on the rage or resolve of the Bear.American charges of Russian aggression ring hollow. Georgia started this fight Russia finished it. People who start wars don't get to decide how and when they end.Russia's response was "disproportionate" and "brutal," wailed Bush.True. But did we not authorize Israel to bomb Lebanon for 35 days in response to a border skirmish where several Israel soldiers were killed and two captured? Was that not many times more "disproportionate"?Russia has invaded a sovereign country, railed Bush. But did not the United States bomb Serbia for 78 days and invade to force it to surrender a province, Kosovo, to which Serbia had a far greater historic claim than Georgia had to Abkhazia or South Ossetia, both of which prefer Moscow to Tbilisi?Is not Western hypocrisy astonishing?When the Soviet Union broke into 15 nations, we celebrated. When Slovenia, Croatia, Macedonia, Bosnia, Montenegro, and Kosovo broke from Serbia, we rejoiced. Why, then, the indignation when two provinces, whose peoples are ethnically separate from Georgians and who fought for their independence, should succeed in breaking away?Are secessions and the dissolution of nations laudable only when they advance the agenda of the neocons, many of whom viscerally detest Russia?That Putin took the occasion of Saakashvili's provocative and stupid stunt to administer an extra dose of punishment is undeniable. But is not Russian anger understandable? For years the West has rubbed Russia's nose in her Cold War defeat and treated her like Weimar Germany.When Moscow pulled the Red Army out of Europe, closed its bases in Cuba, dissolved the evil empire, let the Soviet Union break up into 15 states, and sought friendship and alliance with the United States, what did we do? American carpetbaggers colluded with Muscovite Scalawags to loot the Russian nation. Breaking a pledge to Mikhail Gorbachev, we moved our military alliance into Eastern Europe, then onto Russia's doorstep. Six Warsaw Pact nations and three former republics of the Soviet Union are now NATO members.Bush, Cheney, and McCain have pushed to bring Ukraine and Georgia into NATO. This would require the United States to go to war with Russia over Stalin's birthplace and who has sovereignty over the Crimean Peninsula and Sebastopol, traditional home of Russia's Black Sea fleet.When did these become U.S. vital interests, justifying war with Russia?The United States unilaterally abrogated the Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty because our technology was superior, then planned to site anti-missile defenses in Poland and the Czech Republic to defend against Iranian missiles, though Iran has no ICBMs and no atomic bombs. A Russian counter-offer to have us together put an antimissile system in Azerbaijan was rejected out of hand.We built a Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline from Azerbaijan through Georgia to Turkey to cut Russia out. Then we helped dump over regimes friendly to Moscow with democratic "revolutions" in Ukraine and Georgia, and tried to repeat it in Belarus.Americans have many fine qualities. A capacity to see ourselves as others see us is not high among them.Imagine a world that never knew Ronald Reagan, where Europe had opted out of the Cold War after Moscow installed those SS-20 missiles east of the Elbe. And Europe had abandoned NATO, told us to go home and become subservient to Moscow.How would we have reacted if Moscow had brought Western Europe into the Warsaw Pact, established bases in Mexico and Panama, put missile defense radars and rockets in Cuba, and joined with China to build pipelines to transfer Mexican and Venezuelan oil to Pacific ports for shipment to Asia? And cut us out? If there were Russian and Chinese advisers training Latin American armies, the way we are in the former Soviet republics, how would we react? Would we look with bemusement on such Russian behavior?For a decade, some of us have warned about the folly of getting into Russia's space and getting into Russia's face. The chickens of democratic imperialism have now come home to roost in Tbilisi.

General Anatoly Nogovitsyn said that by accepting the missile defence battery Poland "is exposing itself to a strike"."By hosting these, Poland is making itself a target. This is 100 percent certain," Russia's Interfax news agency quoted General Anatoly Nogovitsyn as saying. "It becomes a target for attack. Such targets are destroyed as a first priority."The general's hawkish comments came amid Moscow's fears the missile shield makes Russia a target of the United States. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worl...w-Georgia.html ---------------------------------------------------- Subject: Scheunemann and McCain: Georgia on Their Minds Date: Friday, August 15, 2008, 3:42 PM Skeeter, The following blog entry by Phil Weiss appeared moments ago because of what you sent me earlier today (how ironic and beneficial that we met over the Cindy Sheehan 'Nightline' email situation as conveyed via http://www.slate.com/id/2124788/sidebar/2124791/ )!: Associated Press Gets Rather Bold in Detailing Neocons' Disastrous Back Pages http://www.philipweiss.org/mondoweis...ages.html#more Here is a tiny URL for the above one: http://tinyurl.com/5tyfs8 Georgia: 'Duck Soup,' 'Tail Wags Dog,' 'Syriana' Or All the Above? http://www.philipweiss.org/mondoweis...r-syriana.html Here is a tiny URL for the above one: http://tinyurl.com/6lntof ------------------------------------- Washington Risks Nuclear War by Miscalculation http://www.informationclearinghouse....ticle20489.htm Look what Buchanan mentioned about the missile shield in Poland via the audio interview linked at the following URL: Churchill, Hitler and the Unnecessary War: How Britain Lost Its Empi http://antiwar.com/radio/2008/07/23/pat-buchanan-4/ Look what Ron Paul has to say to the Russian Americans in the 'Q & A' of the following discussion about his book: http://www.booktv.org/program.aspx?P...P layMedia=No Here is the tiny URL for the above one: http://tinyurl.com/6n8qqf This picture says it all: http://rense.com/1.imagesH/russia_dees.jpg http://NEOCONZIONISTTHREAT.COM Date: Friday, August 15, 2008, 11:39 AM PNAC Neocon agenda wants a war with Russia for Israel http://www.warwithoutend.co.uk/zone0...ic.php?t=93770 |
