Reply #53: Sorry You Are Employed By Our Elites

in the global oil procurement and protection racket our military has been reduced to.

For myself, I would prefer living in a nation among equals (re: European Union), with a powerful enough military to prevent invasion (re: European Union).

Otherwise I pretty much agree with all of your points, particularly regarding Petraeus philosophy. I know I was impressed with his efforts. Probably could have worked, three years ago, but is now too little too late, Humpty Dumpty and all that . .

And his success in Mosul was noted and recognized at the time, it is just that it was not 'politically' acceptable (read Naomi Klein's 'Baghdad Year Zero'). Shows just how desperate they are that they are even considering such a plan now.
