Well, I dunno, this all sounds too, uh, er, too competent for this crowd. . .
Chris Floyd - Empire Burlesque - High Crimes and Low Comedy in the Bush Imperium - The Really Real "Long War":
". . . No, when it comes to terrorizing your own people into forking over their money and the blood of their children to keep you in clover, there's just no substitute for the real thing: Commies. Hordes of 'em. A billion of 'em, by God! That's right, we're talking China. Now there's a long-term proposition for you. There's the whole ball of wax: nukes, missiles, vast standing armies, territorial tensions, government suppression – it's vintage Kremlin, baby, circa Cuban Missile Crisis, anytime you need it. And here's the beauty part: you can literally make money coming and going. You can dive into the Chinese market, get in bed with businesses backed by Commie brass, like Neil Bush and Donald Rumsfeld have done, give 'em Google and Microsoft and Starbucks – even the Rolling Stones, for Christ's sake – then turn around and bag even more billions in gargantuan weapons programs to act as 'prudent hedges against the possibility that cooperative approaches by themselves may fail to preclude future conflict' with them sneaky yellow devils, as the Pentagon's 'long-term strategy review' put it recently.
Of course, that's what the 'War on Terror' is all about anyway: gaining control of the Muslim oil lands in order to throttle China and eventually knock it on the head if it gets too uppity. . . "
