He explains why Democrats favor using our military when it is of no value to the united states (Haiti, Somalia, Kosovo) and oppose it when it serves the interstes of the USA (Gulf war, Sadam, Lybia).
He asks why do the Democrats think it is important to get the approval of China and other anti american nations inorder to protect our own interests.
The Democrats are going to fold. I caught about 20 seconds of Carville last night. Some audience SetUp on the show said, "Give bush his approval and get the emphasis on social security and health care for the November elections." Carville thought that was going to happen and he was all for it. He knew that is the new democrat plan d. A, B and C are failures.
I betcha this will backfire, too. When bush gets the approval for war, he will start the air war rapidly. I think it is now started in all but name. He will bomb blow and destory most of Saddams military from the air. We will be certain that every Iraqi that uses an illegal weapon will go to death as a war criminal. NO ONE IN Iraq thinks they can defeat us. Their choices are die with Saddam or live with us. That is not much of a choice.
We have total air superiority. I would bet we have much improved new smart weapons. Clinton had taken our stocks of smart weapons designed and built under Reagan and Bush I down to almost nothing. Anyone who thinks those designs were not upgraded to 2000 or better technology is not thinking clearly. Clinton had not ordered any replacements. Some of the companies that made them in the 80's were out of business. You can bet they are much better than what we had 10 years ago. Just as what we had 10 years ago had no comparison to what we had 20 or 30 years ago.
The new smart weapons will be as advanced as Windows is over DOS. That seems to me to insure that we can do a lot more from the air than we were able to do in even Afghanistan. In Afghanistan we were still using the few remaing weapons made in the 80's and early 90's.
So if they think Bush will wait until February when we have the ground forces in place, they may be very wrong.
When we write the history of this period, we well ask could Democrats and the Media really have been that out smarted? And the answer will be yes they certainly were.
Just one year ago all Muslim States were pretty much against us. Now Pakistan, Afganistan, a few small ones are our client states. In a few months Iraq will be a client state. Then Iran, and Saudi will fall into our control.
IN a year or so much of the Arab world will be our Client states in the way Eastern Europe was made up of Russian Client states.
You can understand why that scares the Crap out of France and Germany.
Long term I think Europe's mainland is uniting to become our enemy. They did it twice in the 20th century. Why is it outlandish to believe they will do it again?
We will need client states all over the world. We will not be the worlds only super power for long. History teaches otherwise. I think a United Europe will be the next superpower and they will not be our friends.
This is a long term game. Thank God Dubya knows enough to play it.
Among other things it says that we will NEVER give up our military superiority.
I want to see the whole thing. I am going back again to try and get it copied.
I don't know about that. They would have something to contend with, which we will not, that I believe will prevent them from attaining that goal.
