Neo-Crazies Already Planning Beyond Iran
Neo-Crazies Already Planning Beyond Iran

by Gordon Prather
Maybe you thought that when President Bush declared war on terror it was just a euphemism.

Wrong!

By that declaration, Bush made himself commander in chief of our armed forces, which he is – under the Constitution – only "in time of war."

Once proclaimed, our commander in chief immediately called to active duty the National Guard and sent them off to Afghanistan and Iraq to fight in a real war.

There are other steps Bush could take to prevail in the War on Terror he has declared, and neo-crazy Frank Gaffney has just published a book suggesting 10 of them.

And a gaggle of fellow neo-crazies at the American Enterprise Institute has just published an obbligato – entitled "Launch Regional Initiatives" – based upon a couple of them.

"There are a host of measures that can and must immediately be undertaken, literally all over the world, that do not require the use of American armed forces. In fact, if we wish to avoid calling on the U.S. military for further missions, these actions will be essential – in the Mideast (and its periphery) and in Africa, Asia, Latin America, Russia, and Europe."

2. Go ahead, i say. Let them try to start another war.
The way Congress is right now, I don't think any more wars are going to be voted on.

3. They love death
And greed.

:grr:

:nuke:

Something must be wrong with them. They already hail from an ultra-rich background, so what do they need to go stealing everything else for? Most of us would be satisfied with an iota of the wealth of any of these pinheads. Yet still they reach for more.

That's a sickness.

6. Given their record of creating terrorist states
I somehow doubt their "plans" will go far with Americans.
