See No Evil...
Axis of Evil.
See No Evil is an excellent book that chronicles the demise of the CIA and it’s lack of effort in pursuing those responsible for the Beirut attacks, namely the Iranian Pasdaran, through successive administrations.
“It was genius and anyone in the United States who thought it only meant Saddam Hussein were rope-a-doped along with the new enemy. The American rope-a-dopers whose occupation it was to destroy George W Bush, unknowingly helped severely weaken the most difficult enemy faced by any state or alliance in human history.
Now how did we win and cripple for life this new enemy? Using their ideology against them, we lured them into a location in which we could engage them using our superior capabilities on a battlefield with which we were quite familiar.
This enemy is a worldwide cancer and occupies not merely Afghanistan (an extremely difficult theater to say the least) but also the entire globe.
It would have been impossible to go to several nations, cross their sovereign borders, find the terrorist hideouts then close with and engage them.
Imagine the worldwide hair lighting on fire had that happened. It was bad enough when yellow cake was hidden by glasses of mint tea in Niger from one of the Bush hating torches.
Barney Frank would have gone straight, found his false teeth, worn them and lit his hair on fire if we invaded several nations.
We didn’t.
We drew them into Iraq and we killed them there.
Simple and genius.”

Brilliant, wonderful article ... rightfully giving our intrepid and focused President Bush the credit he deserves!!
President Bush’s courageous pursuit of this strategy with our awesome military is the pioneering groundwork of this totally new asymmetric battleground and is reflected in the transformation of today’s military machine.
