Once you get past the rhetorical excess and political posturing, it turns out that the U.S. military really does not have much of a role to play in combating terrorism.

Precisely. When counterterrorism has been effective, it was pursued using crime-fighting technologies. Investigate, get informants, set up, surprise your suspects, make arrests, convict.

A huge standing army doesn’t do much good.

Here’s what a huge standing army, with all its infrastructure does provide:

Jobs, lots of them. Billion and multimillion dollar contracts. Lots of them. Opportunity to develop and test new weapons.

Power to those who can order the army to be used for their purposes.

Political cover. Big wars and “support the troops” and Rosy the Riveter, and the Good War etc etc…all designed to distract the populace.

According to Gen. Anthony Zinni (USMC, Ret.)

Zinni is talking about a group of policymakers within the administration known as “the neo-conservatives” who saw the invasion of Iraq as a way to stabilize American interests in the region and strengthen the position of Israel. They include Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz; Undersecretary of Defense Douglas Feith; Former Defense Policy Board member Richard Perle; National Security Council member Eliot Abrams; and Vice President Cheney’s chief of staff, Lewis “Scooter” Libby.

Zinni believes they are political ideologues who have hijacked American policy in Iraq.

“I think it’s the worst kept secret in Washington. That everybody - everybody I talk to in Washington has known and fully knows what their agenda was and what they were trying to do,” says Zinni.

“And one article, because I mentioned the neo-conservatives who describe themselves as neo-conservatives, I was called anti-Semitic. I mean, you know, unbelievable that that’s the kind of personal attacks that are run when you criticize a strategy and those who propose it. I certainly didn’t criticize who they were. I certainly don’t know what their ethnic religious backgrounds are. And I’m not interested.”

IMHO, the reason for the low troups was because they believed that that Iraq would rise up immediately and topple Saddam with just a bigger version of Chalabi’s failed end game. Which would lead to the entire region following suit with governments favorable toward Tel Aviv.

They only have one strategy, War with Regime Change. To wit, John Bolton is in England right now saying that he seesno alternative to a pre-emptive strike on suspected nuclear facilities in the country. “If we were to strike Iran it should be accompanied by an effort at regime change … The US once had the capability to engineer the clandestine overthrow of governments. I wish we could get it back.”

They want to take the shortest route - war. Bad guys ergo get the bad guys. I’ve yet to hear any of them mention what happens after their new bombing war. So, they’re urgently pushing for another short-cut. Their last short-cut resulted in our longest war since our Revolution.

You’ve written a beautifully reasoned program to combat Terrorism and actually achieve results. Please keep it in your archives and bring it back out if we ever happen to have a government that runs on reason rather than short-sighted impulses…

one point though

The Bush Administration has talked a good game but, in terms of execution, it has fumbled the ball.

Maybe semantics but it seems to me that the Bush Administration hasn’t really talked a good game either. The game they talk sounds to me mostly like promoting fear and moral authority as opposed to causes and solutions.

How many police chiefs in the U.S. would take the tactics used by the U.S. against world terrorism, and publicly advocate the use of them against something like say, urban gang violence?

Plus, it’s clear to me that there is a whole population of professionals with the kind of credentials Senators and Members of Congress respect, who are the kind of people they can hold their heads up to quote, who could be camping in their offices to get this turned around.

Dan Rather was made to pay for reporting the truth, like Valerie Wilson was made to pay for getting in their way, and Scott Ritter’s integrity impugned badly when he started bucking their tide. THEY NEED A LOT OF LOUD COMPANY, not a bunch of silent or whispering former compatriots, who are trying not to draw that kind ire upon themselves. Enough of them remembering that the whole future is more important than their own safety, and we at last have our country back.

It’s really obvious that a million blog posts don’t even faze these fiends.

Hear that sucking sound? It’s a further demise of the Treasury. This is from early last week. Israel WANTS foreign aid to be paid in, get this; EUROS. At a $1.40 a Euro? Oh, poo. The U.S. dollar is no longer a viable currency. They want more! Looks like we’ll all have to learn Hebrew as well as Mandarin and Cantonese.

I don’t believe he believed that. They send didn’t enough soldiers because if the area was pacified there wouldn’t be any chaos to blame on Iran and Syria.
They counted on chaos. They created chaos with The Salvador Option so Gelb and the neocons could get the Oded Yinon divide and conquer plan on.
Don’t forget it.

To break it into terms that you may understand, Rob; that Fred was illustrating; it’s called ‘fearmongering’. It’s to keep the public scared and in fear. Mostly of themselves, if not of each other. Psyops. It’s a branch of marketing, as of late. But, Fred is also saying that because nothing has not happened doesn’t mean that it can’t and those in ‘power’ (unfortunately) are seemingly doing their jobs at preventing it from happening.

War on terror=excuse to loot US treasurey with absolute legal impunity.

Next question?

It seems to me you are trying to take us back to a pre-9/11 world…

The popular neo-con accusation that “you have a pre-9/11 mindset” (and all it’s variations) rings hollow. Though I’m permanently scarred by 9/11 (those fuckers flew over my house to hit the WTC), a pre-9/11 mindset served us pretty well until a Republican sat in the Oval office. We had a robust economy, gas prices were much lower, intelligence services were not completely ignored and we weren’t mired in an extremely expensive, unjust war. Our country wasn’t yet ruled by idiots and madmen. Idiots and madmen who listen to the likes of Gerecht.

Reuel Marc Gerecht’s current positions as a fellow at the American Enterprise and as the Director of the Middle East Initiative at the Project for the New American Century serve as a dead giveaway. These organizations uniformly specialize in myopic, strident, uber-conservative types who refuse to let the truth impede their pursuit of numerous reckless policies. Case in point: Gerecht is a key player among those who would have us attack Iran. ‘Nuff said.
