There are times when I wish, in reference to world opinion, we were more like Russia or China.
I wouldn't dare argue with you my friend -- I respect you immensely.
There are lots of details the American Public has NOT been allowed to digest and to honestly see the extent by which Japan was totally pushed to attack us -- even to the extent that their pilots had to come up with an effective plan of attacking us. We largely forced them to attack.
We planned 'a conflict' - and made it happen - in order to build the Panama Canal.
The CIA enacted numerous 'conflicts' in Iran -- all for the purpose of allowing GB and the USA to take their OIL for nothing and force them to be our slaves of cheap labor.
Look at the Corporations and Industries throughout numerous areas of the world and see how they have the power to take as much as they want and all the more how thousands of people had to flee their homes and how they have to live as a result. Then see where these Corporations are based.
Find the details of how Eisenhower worked hand in hand with the mafia and learn the total plans of taking over Cuba. When JFK had his FIRST meeting -- all the details were long in place and he began his Presidency by 'acknowledging the plan' and giving the OK.
The Vietnam Conflict was being prepared.
If we would have treated NK like the Russians treated Georgia during the South Ossetia and Abkhazia incident the world would have crapped themselves with condemnation. Russia moved so quickly most people can't even recall that happening.
'WE' are the reason SK is free.
There is a huge difference - however - and if someone came to our border they would be 'snuffed immediately'. We also like to show off the speed by which we can deal with things. Let's not forget that Iraq started with a 'Deck of Cards' and much was televised because we knew we could do it quickly and show off to everyone.
The American Population would crap themselves with condemantion if all the Government hid - was fully disclosed.
We drag $h!t out for eternity.
This is what I'm building up to - so Birch can know it was not God. That war was meant to be 'open-ended' - 'to show our resolve' as JFK put it.
Nixon wanted to 'nuke' a neighboring country --Cambodia -- and made it very clear he didn't care about 'the civilians'.
The point is -- it was designed to be dragged out for eternity.
Target the Leadership, every one of them, with every first generation outdated JDAM we own and be done with them. The world will cry, moan and complain but in a year nobody will remember except the historians. blah blah blah never happen Rant over.
