[lbo-talk] Obama: killing for 2012

[Carrol Cox]

It seems to me that so far the Bush/Obama Administration is a roaring
success. U.S. troops are (for the time veing) permanently established in
Iran, with a reasonably 'safe' government 'in charge' there. That war
has been won (though like most wars it can always be reopened). It
probably could not have been launched except by an Administration able
to ignore nuances & barge ahead regardless of world opinion, and it
required a better and more sophisticated "Man in Chargae" (Obama) to
'finalize' the deal as they say in business. And now, with t troop needs
and scare headlines both reduced in Iran, Obama can turn the full u.s.
power on pacifying Afghanistan. The population is small enough there so
methods of mass slaugher will not appear to be such.

All is well in the best of all possible worlds.

P.S. It is pointless to argue that Brzezinski's views are wrong, since
that isn't the question. The question is why the U.S. is acting in a
certain way. Brzezinski explains that.
