Deliberate Dismemberment

The probability is high that the american military is slated for destruction along with our economy. Say you were tasked to do things and create situations that stressed out and used up the military to eventually destroy it, aside from having it blown to pieces in an all out war. The question has to be asked - what would you do different than what Codpiece has done? In truth the answer is there ain't much different you would do.

Extended tours, weary ass troops, broken equipment, shitty morale - when even the MSM reports on these problems you know the situation is pretty dire. "The Army is coming to the end of its rope in Iraq. It simply does not have enough active-duty military personnel to sustain the current level of effort." says defense analyst Loren Thompson. Colin Powell said "The military already is overextended and “almost broken.” New defense secretary Robert Gates said, "America's military capacity is stretched thin."

So Codpiece the Deciderer deals with all these problems by publicly telling the nation that the military has to be stretched further, and that he has the ability to send an unlimited number of fresh bodies into his meatgrinder. That certainly seems to be the driving force behind ending active duty time limits for the Guard and the Reserve. This follows a prior decision to send another carrier group to the Gulf region, into waters so constricted and chock full of vessels that a US sub collided with a Japanese tanker this past week.

One would think that escalating efforts in failed military adventures is akin to throwing good money after bad and that responsible people would object to raising the stakes on a busted flush. Well they have - top brass are objecting to an insane escalation. Hell, even the lapdog Iraqi satrapy doesn't want any more of Sockpuppet's surge. By most polls the american people have had enough of this Vietnam flashback by a very wide margin. Even republican senators have had enough.

People tend to chalk all this up as misjudgment or some personality failure to be able to admit mistakes. But there are ominous signs that true to his very apt nickname, Sockpuppet is in this shitheap way over his psychotic head and the real forces behind his incompetent ass intend to widen this war. By backing Ethiopia's invasion of Somalia and jumping into the fighting the fascists have essentially opened up a whole new continent to foment strife. In what amounts to an act of war, massive amounts of US force stormed an Iranian diplomatic outpost in Iraq. After hinting that Iran's sovereignty will be dismissed when the Deciderer addressed his subjects, can this be looked at as anything but a serious provocation? Now come strong hints and leaks that our fascists have already started their wider middle east conflagration.

Iran has always been the real target. A weakened Iraq was merely a stepping stone where the US could build permanent bases and steal the oil as a precursor to going after Israel's true competitor in the middle east. Even with weakened army and marines, the fascists still have massive air and sea power to play with. War with Iran and it's cascading, disastrous consequences would no doubt destroy what's left of the US military. Supply lines to the troops in Iraq would be cut by pro Iranian Shiites and they would be exterminated. Basically all the warships in the Gulf are sitting ducks for advanced Sunburn and Yakhonts missiles. Forget about democrats toying with cutting funds to continue all the warfare - our bankrupt economy would collapse with the first flaming supertanker. The whole region would explode in violence with attacks on american interests.

Chris Floyd writes: "There have been many criminal episodes in the history of the United States government; but I am hard-pressed to think of one that has been so egregiously stupid and self-destructive, and so riddled with pathological aberrations."

But only if wasn't by design. Everything the fascists have done has deliberately led to this. Pretenses of mismanagement, the lies, the provocations, the bullying, the shredded constitution, the hypocrisy, the needless death and suffering. We're about to enter into the next phase in a New World Order agenda, one that doesn't have room for the country we used to know.
