Who exactly is Barrack Obama?

Webster Tarpley




Comment:

Obama may or may not be what he appears to be, but that isn't the central point in Tarpley's discourse. What is significant is that his emphasis on United State's encirclement of China and Russia as the ultimate foreign policy objective ties in with the American Century Global Vision introduced by the Bush Administration (as opposed to the earlier centuries of European domination), the concept of 'Old' Europe and 'New' Europe and attempts to drive a wedge between the two, and the proposed missile defense shields in Poland and the Czech Republic.

The 'Old' Europeans achieved the same global domination through colonizations, the Bush administration tried through direct military intervention and occupation with unsatisfactory results, while Tarpley believes the Zbigniew Brzezinski school will pursue the tried and tested means of using small enemies as cannon fodder against the big enemies, instead of directly fighting either - as in Afghanistan against the Soviets - towards the same policy objectives.

This is a solid argument to be made.

to portray one evil as the worse of 2 hardly seems worth hypin about ... its old news ...
some thoughts on the course of action that Webster Tarpley thinks is the right one might have added some substance to his talk ...

cueark,

I added the comment to above entry. I think that should answer your question.

Re the course of action (if you mean for Pakistan), Tarpley said every one is choosing sides and gave Japan/Taiwan as examples. Pakistan must do the same in my opinion - chose sides. It can't remain a US Ally while having China as 'best' friend for very long.
