""Washington's top foreign affairs spin doctor has described US policy in Iraq as "a failure", and accused his government of "arrogance" and "stupidity". Speaking in Arabic on al-Jazeera television Alberto Fernandez, director of public diplomacy at the state department's bureau of near eastern affairs, gave viewers an unusually sharp assessment of the administration's efforts in Iraq. He spoke in the past tense, as though it was all over.""

So the Grand Plan of the Cabal of Military Masterminds was this:
1. March into Afghanistan. Make way for pipelines or something.
2. Waltz into Iraq, nearly slipping on the veritable carpet of rose petals. Get ass kicked.
3. Have Israel look both savage _and_ impotent in Lebanon.
4. Make America a global pariah.
5. Fuck up the 9-11 show.
6. Erect a police state.
These geniuses have now paved the way for China to dominate the Middle East.
"But what if we hadn't done _anything_?! They would have dominated the Middle East! We had to do something!"
You've done nothing but break things and kill people and wiretap my phone. And China will still own the Middle East. And maybe some day you, too, will own your very own pair of flip-flops.
Numbers one through five have been miserable failures. Number six will be, too.
People in this country may be lazy --but even more than that-- they're defiant. Especially after being told so many times that they're free.
The police state is not compatible with the American character. Nor with your freedom marketing.
When that control apparatus becomes plainly visible, everyone will know that they've been had.
And guess what? No one takes kindly to being had. And this is a very well armed, violent society.
It is almost theoretically impossible for you to win. That would take skill and acumen. ...Which you have ably demonstrated yourselves to lack.
Stay the course? Please do. You will lose.
