April 6-8, 2007 -- Delusional neo-cons. Herbert Meyer, who was the Special Assistant to the Director of Central Intelligence and Vice Chairman of the CIA's National Intelligence Council during the Reagan administration, has penned a "Global Intelligence Briefing" for CEOs. Some highlights from the monograph, a copy of which was obtained by WMR: "the underlying strategy behind the war is to use our military to remove the radicals from power and give the moderates a chance. Our hope is that, over time, the moderates will find a way to bring Islam forward into the 21st century. That's what our involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan is all about." "It won't be long before the Chinese have an aircraft carrier sitting in the Persian Gulf . . . The question is, will their aircraft carrier be pointing in the same direction as ours or against us?" . . . "There are many people working whose work is not listed as a job. As a result, the economy is perking along better than the numbers are telling us." . . . "In some ways, the war is going very well. Afghanistan and Iraq have the beginnings of a modern government, which is a huge step forward." . . . "If we don't defend Taiwan, every treaty the U.S. has will be worthless."
Europe and Japan are dying because their populations are aging and shrinking. These trends can be reversed if the young people start breeding." . . . "Europe and Japan are dying because their populations are aging and shrinking. These trends can be reversed if the young people start breeding." . . ."We are becoming one of the last holdouts of the traditional Judeo-Christian culture. There is no better place in the world to be in business and raise children." . . . "If we give up our Judeo-Christian culture, we become just like the Europeans. The culture war is the whole ballgame."
The above sums up just about all of the neo-con talking points we hear from the White House, Fox News, Pat Robertson, and the Republican National Committee. The spirit of Dr. Strangelove lives on.
