Let's get really real... They know EXACTLY what they're doing...

any implication that bushco doesn't know what it's doing is just plain wrong...
Yesterday, former National Security Advisor Dr. Zbigniew Brzezinski gave a speech on the Iraq war at the Center for American Progress.

  • Neither President Truman nor Eisenhower – Democrat and Republican – ever spoke of America being a “nation at war” during the Korean War. Neither President Johnson nor Nixon ever spoke of America being a “nation at war” during the Vietnam War. Yes we have a serious challenge from the potential threat of terrorism and we have to wage an unrelenting struggle against it. But to describe America repeatedly as a nation at war – implicitly of course with a commander and chief in charge – is to contribute to a view of the world by America that stimulates fear and isolates us from others.
  • Do we really want Iran to desist, or do we want to drive it into extremism? It surely cannot be our deliberate intention to fuse Iranian nationalism with Iranian fundamentalism. But that is precisely what we are doing.
creating fear through endless war, seizing unfettered power from a cowering populace, using unabashed measures of social control by virtually suspending the constitution and the bill of rights, funneling vast amounts of money to the already super-rich - these ARE the top bushco agenda items... "surely [they] cannot be our deliberate intention[s]..." but they are, zbigniew, they are...
