Zbigniew Brzezinski - Attack in Iran impeachable offense
without congressional authorization.

http://www.iht.com/bin/print_ipub.php?file=/articles/2006/04/25/opinion/edzbig.php

...
In the absence of an imminent threat (with the Iranians at least several years away from having a nuclear arsenal), the attack would be a unilateral act of war.

If undertaken without formal Congressional declaration, it would be unconstitutional and merit the impeachment of the President. Similarly, if undertaken without the sanction of the UN Security Council either alone by the United States or in complicity with Israel, it would stamp the perpetrator(s) as an international outlaw(s).

3. Zbig...
...a Trilateral founding member. He is also an early vocal architect of the Afghani/Russian debacle which gave birth to the "bin Laden menace" and led to the rise of the Taliban, all of course under the watchful protective eye of the US "National Security" aparatus.

These guys are the masters of deception. Whatever comes out of his mouth serves powerful elite interests, not our failed experiment in so-called "democracy."

Maybe the signal is out that the Bush catastrophe has been so wildly succesful in the transfer of money, power, and political control to his overlords that they can now "ride to the rescue" and convince the gullible brain dead American that a "new dawn" is coming, free of the "bumbling" Bush regime.

Then, as we all cheer the "new regime" of "enlightened leadership", they will be busy setting up the next "crisis" to further the global takeover.

Everything is right on schedule...

10. Right...
They are playing good Globalist Bad Globalist! The fat cat petro-bankers STILL want to rule the entire world. I hope they do turn on Bushco, but I'd believe that when I saw it with my own eyes. Bush was the Trilateralist's dream all the way down the line. I hope the builders of the "New World Order" do start tearing into each other, But I'll not hold my breath...

4. "It is therefore time for the administration to sober up"...
Great line, but what are the chances? The Dictatorship is filled with only three kinds of people: drunks, villains, and drunk villains...

8. Too little, too late Mr. Grand Chessboard Motherfucker
You didn't start the fire, but you sure inspired it:

"In that context, how America 'manages' Eurasia is critical. Eurasia is the globe's largest continent and is geopolitically axial. A power that dominates Eurasia would control two of the world's three most advanced and economically productive regions. A mere glance at the map also suggests that control over Eurasia would almost automatically entail Africa's subordination, rendering the Western Hemisphere and Oceania geopolitically peripheral to the world's central continent. About 75 per cent of the world's people live in Eurasia, and most of the world's physical wealth is there as well, both in its enterprises and underneath its soil. Eurasia accounts for 60 per cent of the world's GNP and about three-fourths of the world's known energy resources." (p.31)

It is also a fact that America is too democratic at home to be autocratic abroad. This limits the use of America's power, especially its capacity for military intimidation. Never before has a populist democracy attained international supremacy. But the pursuit of power is not a goal that commands popular passion, except in conditions of a sudden threat or challenge to the public's sense of domestic well-being. The economic self-denial (that is, defense spending) and the human sacrifice (casualties, even among professional soldiers) required in the effort are uncongenial to democratic instincts. Democracy is inimical to imperial mobilization." (p.35)

"Two basic steps are thus required: first, to identify the geostrategically dynamic Eurasian states that have the power to cause a potentially important shift in the international distribution of power and to decipher the central external goals of their respective political elites and the likely consequences of their seeking to attain them;... second, to formulate specific U.S. policies to offset, co-opt, and/or control the above..." (p. 40)

"Moreover, as America becomes an increasingly multi-cultural society, it may find it more difficult to fashion a consensus on foreign policy issues, except in the circumstance of a truly massive and widely perceived direct external threat." (p. 211)

11. Emphasis on words like "Africa's subordination"
Edited on Tue Apr-25-06 03:51 PM by DrDebug
Zbig has shown his true colors already. It's nice that he is against Bush finally, but his Grand Chessboard is being played right now, so it sounds a bit like Pontius Pilates washing his hands clean.

9. Brzezinski' book that the neocons saw as a blueprint to invade the oil
Edited on Tue Apr-25-06 03:41 PM by LaPera
fields of the mid-east to steal their oil..."A Pearl harbor type attack" on the US would give the neocons most of the American people's support, necessary to invade...Wasn't it interesting, that the excuse (9/11) came like clock work as Bush's poll numbers right before (9/11) were at 42% and sinking fast...
