In fact the Megalomaniacs seem to be writing books about forming the population of the US into Legions of Stormtroopers to expand “American Nationalism” to “win in the 21st Century”.

This sounds like good “old fashioned” Fascism to me. The Nazis were talking about creating a 1,000 year Reich and a “Germanic” Europe, just like Blankley wants to expand an American Empire.

What’s the logic behind invading Pakistan? Do we really need Nuclear Truck Bombs wiping out whole US Army/Marine Divisions? Because that is likely what will happen. We don’t need Nuclear Weapons Engineers going to work for Militant Groups. If the US Military tries to occupy Pakistan the Government will lose control instantly, then you have 50 Million potential “martyrs” waiting for their chance to inflict heavy losses on the “Great Satan” that is trying to dominate them. China isn’t going to support this, and they have tons of “surplus” weapons they can provide to Marxist or Socialist Resistance Organizations that would likely appear because of a US Invasion. And what’s next? Iran? Syria? That’s over 300 Million people(Iraq + Afghanistan + Pakistan + Iran + Syria), the US Government would have to conscript/draft every able bodied male citizen over the Long Term to control that kind of population. And we never know what the reaction will be in Egypt, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia(add another 140 Million if things get out of control). At that point it can easily become a War of Attrition and the side that runs out of resources first – loses.

He thinks a draft is a way to get “war-fighters” (the dehumanizing term used mainly by military contractors to describe the flesh and blood component inserted into their tanks, ships, uniforms and behind their rifles).

Actually, in this country, you combine a truly hideously stupid war with a draft and that miracle of civil disobedience and friends soon appear: the draft resister.

I say bring it on.

Between this article above and the interview with the Dumb Blond Bimbo and Tony Blank-Slate, I was really pissed off and just venting.

The Pavlovian instinct among the masses having been developed to full perfection, the Establishment Media occasionally rehash and regurgitate stale propaganda like this to re-stoke the flagging support among the public for proxying Israel’s war campaigns. Dredging up good ol’ Os’ Bin Laden (you’d think that these occasional broadcasts would have a return address or a satellite IP address that could pin a general location on ol’ Os’ that our “special forces” could use as a map, but I’m digressing here) is always a sure-fire way to get Joe Sixpack’s blood boiling again, a way to remind him that “them raghead terrists” are STILL out to “kill us, ’cause they hate us fer our freedoms.” Joe Sixpack doesn’t pay attention to details such as date/time stamps on videotaped messages, background locations shown on videos, or verbatim content that might look suspiciously identical to several of Os’s previous releases over the last several years. If Joe’s government (even a Demopublican/Republicrat-ruled one [take your pick here, depending on party affiliation]) says that he’s still endanger from terrists, then by God, that’s good enough for him.

In short, this stuff isn’t aimed at the readers of sites like antiwar.com, but at our neighbors who think we’re all commie/raghead/[enemy du jour]-hugging peaceniks who hate “freedom.” I think the purpose of the link you describe was for FYI purposes only and not intended as endorsement of a serious news item.

Bring it on. Please.

This, I believe, is exactly why the calls for a renewed military draft will go absolutely nowhere. The Establishment already realizes that it’s hanging on to power by the most tenuous of threads. Any attempt to arm massive numbers of disaffected citizens already fed up to the gills with the system would be tantamount to the System signing its own death warrant. Even the top echelons of the reigning neocon establishment couldn’t possibly be that short-sighted and stupid.
