The Republican Master Plan to Conquer the World

Winning the War

The controversy surrounding Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld’s memo on the status of the War on Terrorism raises two interesting questions. First: are we winning this war? Yes we are. We have liberated fifty million people in Iraq and Afghanistan and we have captured and killed many of al-Qaeda’s leaders. But are we doing as well as we could be doing? No. Could we be doing better? Of course. That was the point that the Secretary raised- in this conflict we can never be idle, never satisfied with having made ‘enough’ progress. Rather, we must press forever onwards to a total victory.

Admitting that you are not doing as well as you’d like is far from an admission of failure: it’s an exhortation to hard work. I’d like to see the planet cleansed of all of the terrorists, their supporters, and their sympathizers in the blink of an eye. That we have yet to meet that standard doesn’t mean that we’re losing.

We are doing well, but there is still much more work that needs to be done. I’m going to offer a little advice for the battle ahead.

Create a Sense that the Nation is ‘At War’:
After 9-11 I thought, “we’re never going to forget this.’ But, we have. There needs to be an enhanced awareness of the specifics of the situation. This is a conflict with the scale of the Cold War or the Second World War- there needs to be a general awareness of that.

I haven't read a stupider and more fascist diatribe since the last time I visited a conservative site.

4. Can't quote this extensively.
Copyright problems. And the type of person who wrote this would be the type to sue DU.

Aside from all that, welcome to DU dougjefferson :toast:

5. Another gem from his page:
...the United States Government should declare, citing the fact that Americans were the first humans to set foot on the Moon, that it is now the sovereign territory of the United States of America. Efforts should be made to rapidly send human expeditions to Mars and Saturn’s moon of Titian, the two other most valuable planets in the Solar System, to make a claim on similar grounds.

(Saturn's biggest moon is called Titan, btw)
