1. Other military expansions - so disappointed ;o(
Edited on Sun Aug-02-09 02:26 PM by PufPuf23
Horn of Africa and AFRICOM - see my journal

Five new bases is Colombia to replace eviction from Manta, Ecuador.

Manas AFB in Kyrgyzstan where we were asked to leave has now been retained by larger payments - this is the gateway to Afghanistan.

Anyone that does not realize elements in the US government aren't complicit and took active roles in the Honduras coup are naive.

We had millions of dollars and Special Forces in Iran to foster social upheaval

Even the current strategy in Iraq is that from the Neocon playbook Redefining American Defenses.

I am confused about how much POTUS Obama is aware or in control; also what started out as a Neocon/Neoliberal aggression in the 1990s may now be self-defense as our economy and credibility in the world community disintegrates. As bad as our MSM disinforms and propogandizes special interests, our image in the outside world is also skewed. So sad and so many in a state of denial.
