First things first: Scott Ritter will join us during our second hour tonight so don't miss this conversation!

And now, the news . . . .

We all know Bush is in the one place on earth where his approval rating is higher than herpes - the "country" of Africa as he likes to call it. But he's not just there to party like a rock star. His official business, as it were, is to tout his "PEPFAR" AIDS initiative, funding of poor nations through the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), the Africa Education Initiative, and the Millennium Challenge Account. Too bad he couldn't enact similar plans for the hurricane-ravaged gulf coast of THIS part of the world, but I digress . . . .

What few know is that - surprise surprise - there may be a hidden agenda to all of Raisin Brain's compassionate conservative benevolence. He may be trying to further militarize the continent, consolidate US holdings, and lap up African oil.


Professor Horace Campbell, with the Centre for Global Research put it this way in a meticulously detailed and researched article published yesterday: "One year after the announcement that he United States government was going to accelerate the militarization of Africa, President George Bush is embarking on a journey to Africa to coerce African societies to align themselves with the neo-conservative agenda of the present US administration. In pursuance of the plans for the militarization of Africa, the US Department of Defense announced the appointment of General William "Kip" Ward (an African American) as Head of this new Military command. . . . the USA organized the African Contingency Operations Training Assistance (ACOTA). Under ACOTA, African troops were supposed to be provided with offensive military weaponry, including rifles, machine guns, and mortars. The Africa Regional Peacekeeping Program (ARP) was also established in order to equip, train, and support troops from selected African countries that are involved in "peacekeeping" operations. Additionally, the US government launched a Pan Sahel anti-terrorism initiative (later called Trans Sahara Counter Terror Initiative). Behind these grand mutations lay one clear fact. The USA wanted to control the oil resources from Africa. Presently Africa supplies more petroleum to the USA than the Middle East and US corporations wanted the US military to guarantee the dominance of US oil conglomerates."

Reuters put it more simply: "President George W. Bush said on Friday the possible shift of the U.S. military command for Africa to the continent from its current home in Germany will be on the agenda as he meets with leaders of five African countries. 'AFRICOM is a brand new concept aimed at strengthening nations' capacities to deal with trafficking or terror, but also to help nations develop forces capable of doing the peacekeeping that unfortunately too often is needed on the continent,' Bush said. The U.S. has some 1,700 troops in Djibouti. While Liberia has offered to host AFRICOM, regional powers like South Africa and Nigeria have been wary."

Welcome to the new colonialism, Africa. Complete with automatic weapons and missiles.

We'll also hop around the globe a bit, discussing Castro's resignation in Cuba, McCain's fight with Huckabee in Wisconsin and independence in Kosovo.

Gonna be a jam-packed, nonstop, three-hour rollercoaster ride Truthseekers!
