S*-ing to Power **** S is for Sign, * is for Use. S*, as in S*-ing, is for SLINGING THE SHLONG AGAINST PHILOSOPHICAL AND OTHER ABUSE (Let S* be verse, picture, symbology, rant, whatever talks eternal, American, now) The world is ready and waiting for what we can do here. As John Calvin put it, differently, "It's up to you."

US Foreign Policy end-game contradictions

10.29.08
FOREIGN POLICY -- end game contradict
ions

-failure across the board in the Middle East

1. Syria - calls U.S. cross-border helicopter raid 'terrorist aggression'

2. Iraq - agreement and signing of security pact held up by demand that U.S. not use Iraq territory to attack neighboring countries.

Very hot anger against American occupation. December deadline on authority to remain fast approaching.

The Kirkuk-Kurdistan split with Baghdad is in end-game. G.W. Bush has press conference with pesh merga leader this a.m. expressing solidarity. They have been steady U.S. allies, but the Sunni want them out of Mosul. Basic agreements on splitting the oil revenue have not been reached.

Meanwhile, Gen. Raymond Ordierno has presented Iraq 'leaders' with an 'inventory detailing the collapse of the Iraqi security services if (U.S.) forces were pulled back to barracks." To which "'Iraq' (?) has demanded the negotiation of a security agreement with America which would authorise continued US combat operations against terrorism until 2011."

Thus with relations to the Sunni fraying, Al Sadr getting restless, and mounting rage in the streets against against them, the war forces from the first pull another end-run stunt around the on-going legitimate processes by looping Ordierno and unnamed Iraqi's into a 'demand' to stay. This are contradictory currents; buth cannot be sustained. It is the outcome of the fraudulent "Surge" policy, which reversed the results of the undisputed mandate of the '06 national election, to get out. It never 'worked' except for paid stooges, hustlers, media mouths and ZOG-gers (agents of U.S. Zionist Occupied Government).

3. Pakistan summoned the U.S. ambassador and issued a formal protest and harsh condemnation of the most recent cross-border raid that hit a religious school in South Waziristan, killing 8, with 20 more killed by drone aircraft. The story there is one of rising anti-U.S. hatred, shielded against only by the old ties with Musharraf, ISI and whoever controls the nukes. This also looks like an end-game scenario, playing out the contradiction between demanding democracy and practicing control.

4. Policy toward Afghanistan conradictory:

A. "The US is considering official talks with the Taliban in a major policy shift to stem the surging violence in Afghanistan ans Pakistan,: (UK Telegraph)

B. 20,000 U.S. troops sought for Afghanistan

THE WASHINGTON POST

October 29, 2008


WASHINGTON – U.S. commanders in Afghanistan now believe they need about 20,000 additional troops to battle a growing Taliban insurgency, as demands mount for support forces such as helicopter units, intelligence teams and engineers that are critical to operate in the country's harsh terrain.


This can only be described as an end-game contradiction. "Talk talk! Fight Fight! became the policy in Vietnam.
