Reply #78: Bush is dead wrong, as usual [View All]

[Scott Lee]

Preemptive Strike is 100 degrees wrong, because it's only a wonkish justification for any intervention by any administration for any reason. It's like "national security" - sounds justifiable on the surface but it can be used for all sorts of mischief.

The constitution clearly establishes the need and the mechanism for national DEFENSE, not offense. Even the often lunatic strict constructionists will have to admit that the founders harbored no vision of a globe trotting US military.

The Bush Doctrine of preemptive strike is the lynchpin for the goal of PNAC: To ultimately dominate the planet by US based or run markets, and to secure the resources of other nations by hook or by crook to benefit those home markets.
