The Failure of Rhetoric - Rebuilding Iraq and Afghanistan

[dArKeR]

Just one week after the war against the Taliban began, George W. Bush issued a series of promises that might sound a little familiar by now.

 HE PLEDGED to work with other nations to make the country stable once the battle was won. He suggested the United Nations could play a vital role by taking over “the so-called nation-building” after the war. “I would call it the stabilization of a future government,” he told reporters at a White House press conference. He even promised to “stay the course” to win the wider war against terror.
        That was October 2001 and the country in question was Afghanistan. Almost two years later, it’s worth looking back at the first battleground in the war on terror if you want to look forward to figure out the future of Iraq.
        Two years is hardly staying the course, but even in that short period, the White House—along with its allies—has largely failed to live up to its rhetoric in Afghanistan.

1. to understand the bushies point of view

On all this stuff, just study the Corporate Raiders of the Reagan years.
Thats what these guys are, and how they operate. The countrys are just the places they raid, try to grab the loot, then dump the empty husk as they move on to the next big killing-- in spite of what is good for the former workers left holding nothing.

They came out of texas with this mentality imo, and this is what they are doing on a grand scale.
