“Mein Kampf “ by George Bush & Tony Blair
Investigating the New Imperialism




July 28, 2005

A major shift in the language of conflict has commenced on both sides of the Atlantic this week. It is a shift we should note with concern, because it helps to mask another rasp on the ratcheting up of control over our freedoms of speech, thoughts and ideas.

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and General Myers chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and as such the supreme military commander of US Forces worldwide (and the guy who was shooting the Breeze with Congressman McLellan in his office whilst Manhattan burned across the Hudson river and the Pentagon was blitzed and a field in Pennsylvania became the instant grave of hi-jacking Saudi terrorists and their passengers that clear September Morning in 2001) have spoken of “a global struggle against violent extremism” rather than “the global war on terror,” which had been the catchphrase, the leitmotif, the cliché for almost any military activity anywhere that the US chose to use it. Hitler of course used the title for his autobiography of “Mein Kampf” … My Struggle.

The “War on Terror” is evidently a phrase that has outlived its usefulness, not because it doesn’t frame the policy but it exposes the failure of that war, and hence the failure of the Military in fighting that war.

General Richard Myers, told the National Press Club on Monday (25/7) that he had “objected to the use of the term ‘war on terrorism’ before, because if you call it a war, then you think of people in uniform as being the solution.”

"" because if you call it a war, then you think of people in uniform as being the solution.""

and they trotted out the army and the bombs as quickly as they could, never cared to try anything else.

looks like war, smells like war. whatever they want to call it now.
