I will say this, paranoia within government is high -- high enough to run
psychological operations on these newsgroups because certain government
agencies believe their souls are being taken. That's how ridiculous it all
has become. And the bottom line on that is that I personally would rather
face a flock of extraterrestrials than a pack of vicious government agents
who are basically covering up massive corruption within government at the
expense of this subject matter. And the shouting and disinformation in this
arena has reached a fevered pitch in the past few years because the
abduction of humans has stopped. It all has gotten very far out of hand,
unfortunately. People have been murdered to cover up corruption. It's
pathetic to say the least. Something so simple has been totally corrupted
by the human mind and fear of the unknown.
My Pentagon sources confirm this rant.
Study Published by Army Criticizes War on Terror's Scope
By Thomas E. Ricks
Washington Post Staff Writer
A scathing new report published by the Army War College
broadly criticizes the Bush administration's handling
of the war on terrorism, accusing it of taking a detour
into an "unnecessary" war in Iraq and pursuing an
"unrealistic" quest against terrorism that may lead to
U.S. wars with states that pose no serious threat.
The report, by Jeffrey Record, a visiting professor at
the Air War College at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama,
warns that as a result of those mistakes, the Army is
"near the breaking point." It recommends, among other
things, scaling back the scope of the "global war on
terrorism" and instead focusing on the narrower threat
posed by the al Qaeda terrorist network.
"[T]he global war on terrorism as currently defined and
waged is dangerously indiscriminate and ambitious, and
accordingly . . . its parameters should be readjusted,"
Record writes. Currently, he adds, the anti-terrorism
campaign "is strategically unfocused, promises more than
it can deliver, and threatens to dissipate U.S. military
resources in an endless and hopeless search for
absolute security."
Record, a veteran defense specialist and author of six
books on military strategy and related issues, was an
aide to then-Sen. Sam Nunn when the Georgia Democrat was
chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
In discussing his political background, Record also noted
that in 1999 while on the staff of the Air War College,
he published work critical of the Clinton administration.
His essay, published by the Army War College's Strategic
Studies Institute, carries the standard disclaimer that
its views are those of the author and do not necessarily
represent those of the Army, the Pentagon or the
U.S. government.
But retired Army Col. Douglas C. Lovelace Jr., director
of the Strategic Studies Institute, whose Web site
<http://www.carlisle.army.mil/ssi/pubs/2003/bounding/bounding.htm>
carries Record's 56-page monograph, hardly distanced
himself from it. "I think that the substance that Jeff
brings out in the article really, really needs to be
considered," he said.
Publication of the essay was approved by the Army War
College's commandant, Maj. Gen. David H. Huntoon Jr.,
Lovelace said. He said he and Huntoon expected the study
to be controversial, but added, "He considers it to be
under the umbrella of academic freedom."
Larry DiRita, the top Pentagon spokesman, said he had not
read the Record study. He added: "If the conclusion is
that we need to be scaling back in the global war on
terrorism, it's not likely to be on my reading list
anytime soon."
Many of Record's arguments, such as the contention that
Saddam Hussein's Iraq was deterred and did not present
a threat, have been made by critics of the administration.
Iraq, he concludes, "was a war-of-choice distraction from
the war of necessity against al Qaeda." But it is unusual
to have such views published by the War College, the
Army's premier academic institution.
In addition, the essay goes further than many critics in
examining the Bush administration's handling of the war
on terrorism.
Record's core criticism is that the administration is
biting off more than it can chew. He likens the scale
of U.S. ambitions in the war on terrorism to Adolf Hitler's
overreach in World War II. "A cardinal rule of strategy is
to keep your enemies to a manageable number," he writes.
"The Germans were defeated in two world wars . . . because
their strategic ends outran their available means."
He also scoffs at the administration's policy, laid
out by Bush in a November speech, of seeking to transform
and democratize the Middle East. "The potential policy
payoff of a democratic and prosperous Middle East, if there
is one, almost certainly lies in the very distant future,"
he writes. "The basis on which this democratic domino
theory rests has never been explicated."
He also casts doubt on whether the U.S. government will
maintain its commitment to the war. "The political,
fiscal, and military sustainability of the GWOT [global
war on terrorism] remains to be seen," he states.
The essay concludes with several recommendations.
Some are fairly noncontroversial, such as increasing the
size of the Army and Marine Corps, a position that appears
to be gathering support in Congress. But he also says the
United States should scale back its ambitions in Iraq,
and be prepared to settle for a "friendly autocracy"
there rather than a genuine democracy.
