Project for the New American Century: The Sequel


Image from source, Wonkette

You know, part of what bugged me about the last eight years was the underpinnings of the Bush Administration, as much as the Administration itself. I'm talking about the people behind the scenes both prior to and during Bush's reign. Some of those people were like Ann Coulter, and Rush Limbaugh, FOX "News," and other inexplicably popular "conservatives" who kept the Rovian alternate reality going. And some of those people were the NeoCons, many of whom were behind the Project for a New American Century (PNAC).

There is a lot of crossover between the two groups. And you got the feeling they were sort of like the bigwigs on Wall Street, in that they seemed to think their reign would never end. They all worked together to play their big end game, the Bush Presidency. And we all know how that played out.

Never ones to give up, though, the people behind PNAC have put together a sequel of sorts, The Foreign Policy Initiative. They're hoping of course that President Barack Obama is a spectacular failure, and that their ideas are absorbed into the next Republican Administration. Let's hope we as Americans don't fall for it again.

Oh, and yes, I posted this mostly for the image at the top. My inner child is naughty.

Bill Kristol Launches Sequel To PNAC That Will Be Same Thing As PNAC

Even though Barack Obama is ramping up the Afghanistan war now, as well as the official policy towards Pakistan known as “F**king Around,” what we need is more wars, all the time, doesn’t matter if they’re major land wars or just playful warring. This must be done, because if we truly want the oppressed world to enjoy our freedoms, we must first kill them in wars. Comically evil Republican handyman Bill Kristol, for example, would like to see at least one new war every day. . .

USA! USA! We're #2! Hey, Wait a Minute. . .

I'm a liberal blogger and a Democrat, and if there's anything we've learned over the last 7+ years, we are by definition America Haters. We're part of the blame America first crowd. Hogwash. I'm as patriotic as the next guy, I just have a beef with the overt, faux-patriotism displayed by the current crowd of Neo-Cons and their sycophants. I despise their mindless flag waving and sloganeering while the country goes down the crapper.

And I believe it is precisely these people, from George W. Bush on down to his lock-steppy supporters who have brought our nation to a place where it is seen as, well, Number 2. Pun intended.

The Rise of the Rest

Americans are glum at the moment. No, I mean really glum. In April, a new poll revealed that 81 percent of the American people believe that the country is on the "wrong track." In the 25 years that pollsters have asked this question, last month's response was by far the most negative. Other polls, asking similar questions, found levels of gloom that were even more alarming, often at 30- and 40-year highs. There are reasons to be pessimistic—a financial panic and looming recession, a seemingly endless war in Iraq, and the ongoing threat of terrorism. . .
