I hadn't checked out Ethel the Blog in some time, which was certainly a mistake. Read up on how the war on terrorism relates to India, Pakistan, and Oil; to Enron and Cheney, and US control of the region. Also pointed me to this article by Pat Buchanan. Remember during the presidential appointment election, when Pat was making sense? He's doing it again, this time about our latest nuclear sabre-rattling:
Does the United States claim a right of first use of atomic weapons against any "rogue state" that develops a weapon of mass destruction? If so, where does the president get the authority to launch such wars? Or was this document leaked to intimidate the "Axis of Evil"? Is it perhaps a product of the Office of Strategic Influence, the now-defunct disinformation agency of the Pentagon?Of course, he calls for isolationism at the end, but his Constitutional and strategic reasoning seems pretty sound to me.
