The American ‘Think Tank’

by nano Wednesday, Jan. 10, 2007 at 2:44 PM

The world can hardly wait to hear Bush’s new plans for the continued occupation of Iraq. With an official Iraqi death toll exceeding 655,000, social anarchy and failed state status fast approaching, the Bush regime has NOTHING to skite about and no where to go but HOME. The whole disastrous intervention in Iraq is living proof that myopic criminal endeavours always end in tragedy for the people. We recall that U.S. invading forces were under strict orders to secure one site only, the OIL MINISTRY in Baghdad – how telling! From the first day analysts were under no illusions as to the real intentions of the invaders – PLUNDER – the appropriation of Iraq’s most valuable resource.

The Corporate driven criminal Bush regime had no other priorities, as is confirmed by the horrific reality that is today’s Iraq. The appalling destruction and killing since American intervention easily surpasses Saddam’s criminal efforts. The reality in Iraq speaks louder than all the Whitehouse press men and spin doctors put together. It would be easier to hide an elephant in a tea cup than hide the incriminating reality of American occupied Iraq.

Condoleezza Rice, announced today that Bush would reveal his “new way forward” in two days. The ridiculous slogan adopted by Bush’s spin doctors and flogged for everything its NOT worth, is totally meaningless – the 'new way forward' implies the ‘old way’ was also forward when in fact it was/is retrograde in the extreme! This well-known marketing trick/strategy could hardly be expected to salvage the catastrophe that is today’s Iraq. Analysts never invest meaning in the meaningless; they deconstruct the processes behind social behaviours (and superficial inane presentations).

The first and obvious indication that Bush’s ‘plan’ will not be a real solution is that the slogan, “new way forward” has been coined rather than admitting the Truth, making reparations, paying compensation and withdrawing. However, the neo-cons refuse to admit reality into their world of psycho-pathology and continue to rely on lies, manipulation and deception.

At this stage it may prove helpful to recall the many insane statements and pathological comments attributed to the American ‘right’. It is also possible from this type of superficial analysis to make reasonably accurate predictions of things like the eventual arrest and incarceration of the perpetrators of the most heinous crime of the 21st century!

So it’s slogan time!

Who remembers the “light at the end of the [Vietnam] tunnel”, a slogan that perpetuated a war that resulted in fifty thousand young American and millions of Indo-Chinese DEAD, or more recently the all-time classic by Wolfowitz, that Iraqis would welcome American invaders with “bouquets of flowers”; following on from Bush’s, the war has been won in three weeks, “mission accomplished”, was Cheney’s “we have broken the back of the insurgency”; how about the old and familiar failed “war on drugs” or “war on crime”?

Americans love a (meaningless) slogan and none surpass the one enshrined by Jefferson in the Bill of Rights:"we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with inherent and inalienable rights; that among these, are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. “ ‘All’ men except those who oppose neo-colonial, invasive military powers and ethnic cleansing, bunker-busting Zionists – who have their own slogans: “..the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.” [Deuteronomy 7:6]

Need we emphasise the destructive nature of slogans if swallowed ‘without question’?

The FACT behind the Iraq invasion is OIL THEFT; the world can therefore expect MORE LIES, DECEPTION AND THE CONTINUED SLAUGHTER OF INNOCENTS from Bush -- London to a brick!

It should be clear to all that Peace is impossible if criminals are allowed to occupy the seats of power. In a matter of hours we will be confronted with the choice of swallowing more meaningless slogans and lies or apprehending the criminals and holding them accountable for their many heinous crimes.

Choose wisely, criminal regimes are presently engaged in psychological operations designed to soften attitudes to the use of nuclear weapons.

Peace.
