Washington cannot fight modern threats alone, and must apply a “multilateral approach” in implementing foreign policy.
This was stated by U.S. President Barack Obama, who presented a new national security strategy to his countrymen. The American government promised to make the strategy public this week.
Obama spoke to the graduates of West Point — an elite military academy — eight years after his predecessor, George W. Bush, stood on the platform.
Then, in 2002, the American leader presented his national security strategy on the anniversary of the September 11 attacks.
Bush proclaimed the concept of “preemptive military action” (“preemptive strikes”) against countries or terrorist organizations that, in Washington’s view, pose a threat to national security. In 2003, as we all know, Iraq was declared such a threat, and American troops were sent in to search for non-existent chemical and biological weapons.
The “Bush Doctrine” of preemptive strike was corrected in 2006. However, the revolution did not happen. “We do not rule out the use of force before attacks occur, even if uncertainty remains as to the time and place of the enemy’s attack… We cannot afford to stand idly by as grave dangers materialize,” read the document. At this time, Iran was declared “the greatest threat.” Russia got bashed too for “obstacles to spreading freedom,” although, initially, Moscow was assigned the role of Washington’s ally in the fight against terrorism.
Experts are in unanimous agreement: Obama’s strategy is largely at odds with the approach of the Bush administration. Now, at the core — the bet is on the “international partners.” However, it is not surprising: The U.S. is still present in two “hot spots.” The international coalition in Afghanistan, which purports to “download” another 30,000 soldiers, is beginning to crumble here and there. At West Point, the president decided to support the spirit of the young warriors, many of whom will soon be on the front lines. “There will be difficult days ahead… I have no doubt that, together with our Afghan and international partners, we will succeed in Afghanistan,” he said.
“The burdens of this century cannot fall on our soldiers alone. It also cannot fall on American shoulders alone,” said Obama. And he remembered the success of the U.S. anti-Hitler coalition, or during the Cold War. The president made it clear: Americans not only need to strengthen existing alliances, but also “to build new partnerships.”
It is noteworthy that in his speech, Obama carefully avoided the term “war on terror.” Not to mention the “radical Islam.” “Extremists want a war between America and Islam, but Muslims are part of our national life,” declared the U.S. leader.
Pretendident Obama has lied about everything else; why would you believe him on this?
The only enemy facing the West, or anyone else, for that matter, is the Banking Cartel which uses honest Western farm-boys as soldiers to subjugate nations which do not yet have a Rothschild-owned central bank. Those nations are Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Libya, and Cuba.
Of all those nations, Iran is the only one with real national mineral wealth, so it’s at the top of the list to be attacked next.
If you eliminate from the list of terrorist attacks those which were paid for by a third party who did not participate, you find that terrorism is a vanishingly small problem. Hiring terrorism is a larger problem, but it is simply being ignored. You tell me: when a politician ignores a real problem in favor of focusing on an almost non-existent problem, why is s/he doing that?
Then there’s “extremism.” It’s a code word for “that which is different.” It’s xenophobia being ingrained in the hearts of the people who use it. In a land of liars, one who stands for truth is an extremist. In a land of whores and abusers of women, one who respects virginity or who honors their marriage commitment is an extremist. In a land of the lazy, the industrious man or woman is an extremist.
If you support the use of this word in any way, you side with the enemy of all mankind. Cease and desist.
