Mike Mullen's first public speech pays homage to the Center for a New American Security

remember my post from last week where i listed all of the board members, trustees and advisors of the center for strategic and international studies and the center for a new american security...? guess what organization the new chairman of the joint chiefs of staff gave his first public speech to...? why, cnas, of course... as dear, departed molly ivins used to say in her so very colorful way, "ya gotta dance with them whut brung ya..."


Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Navy Adm. Mike Mullen gives his first public speech since becoming chairman at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, Oct. 25, 2007. The event was hosted by the Center for a New American Security which develops strong national security and defense policies promoting and safeguarding American interests and values.

remember now, csis and cnas are led by such populist, progressive and peace-loving folks as richard armitage, zbigniew brzezinski, william s. cohen, ray hunt, henry kissinger, the recently-ousted stanley o'neal of merrill lynch, brent scowcroft, william perry, madeleine albright, rand beers, and michael o'hanlon, to name a few... we can certainly count on folks like THESE to safeguard our "interests and values," no...? mike mullen knows which side his bread is buttered on...

more from molly...

The United States of America is still run by its citizens. The government works for us. Rank imperialism and warmongering are not American traditions or values. We do not need to dominate the world. We want and need to work with other nations. We want to find solutions other than killing people. Not in our name, not with our money, not with our children's blood.
