http://www.blackcommentator.com/86/86_cover_pirates.htmlGeorge Bush presided at a wake this week. White American Manifest Destiny is dead, rotting ignominiously somewhere in Iraq. Neither Bush nor the corpse knows it yet, but the stench is pervasive and unmistakable.
The zombie still has lots of thrashing around to do – some death-force to expend – but cold cadaverous hands cannot grip the globe with terror much longer. Incantations will not resurrect him.
“We're changing the world.” Bush offered variations on the mantra five times during his session with the servile corporate press, April 13. Bush and his Pirates have been vowing to remake the world since at least 1992, when Bush Sr. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and Under-Secretary Paul Wolfowitz drew up a strategy to “establish and protect a new order" that would deter “potential competitors from even aspiring to a larger regional or global role." During the eight years of the Clinton presidency the expanding cabal refined their Plan for global U.S. hegemony, formalizing their conspiracy through the Project for the New American Century, in 1997. The Plan to “change the world” by enslaving it became the defining foreign policy doctrine of the United States the minute George Bush walked into the White House, in 2000. The Bush men were consumed by the prospect of world conquest, compared to which al Qaida seemed less than a fly, a mere gnat, unworthy of diligent monitoring.

Corporate media fog and flatulence, and the fixating horror of televised war cannot obscure the fundamental fact: The Pirates have failed, having bet everything on a swift takeover of Iraq and its transformation into a corporate “model” for the entire region, a springboard for further conquest and corporate colonization. The Plan envisioned that:
Once the U.S. military and its corporate camp followers were fully embedded on the banks of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, the whole of the Eurasian land mass would be open to American power projection. Syria would swing wide the gates to Damascus, lest they be knocked down. Jubilant Iranians would sing Farsi songs in praise of Coca-Cola over Ayatollahs, while contributing their crude to the U.S.-controlled mix. Saudi Arabia would crumble from princely rot, ridding the U.S. of fat royal skimmers of profits rightfully belonging to people of Aramco. (, June 19, 2003.)
The Plan assumed the Shock and Awe of “The Mother of All War Shows” (the title of our pre-war, January 30, 2003 Cover Story) would cow the entire planet, making the world “malleable, ready for reshaping in the not-yet-defined New Order.”

the article ends with:
The Bush Plan for global conquest was doomed from the start, based as it was on peculiarly American delusions that are organic to the nation’s hyper-racist history. John Kerry doesn’t have a plan for Iraq. Good.
