Besides waging direct or proxy wars on multiple fronts in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, the Philippines, Sudan, Eastern Congo, elsewhere in Africa, and likely to erupt almost anywhere at any time, Yemen is now a new front in America's "war on terror" under a president, who as a candidate, promised diplomacy, not conflict, if elected.

-- continues a Cold War with Russia;



-- is encircling Russia and China with military bases, and proceeding with provocative plans to install interceptor missiles in Poland and advanced tracking radar in the Czech Republic;



-- escalated war in Afghanistan;



-- appointed a hired gun assassin to lead it, General Stanley McChrystal, infamous for committing war crime atrocities as former head of the Pentagon's Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC);



-- authorized death squad assaults to pursue it, including extrajudicial assassinations, torture, and indiscriminate bombing of Afghan communities without regard for civilian lives;



-- expanded the war into Pakistan and now to Yemen;



-- is militarizing Latin America using Colombia and the Dutch islands of Aruba and Curazao to fly unmanned surveillance/attack drones over Venezuela and perhaps elsewhere in the region;



-- plans to use Colombian insurgents to commit "false positive" border incidents blaming Venezuela as a pretext for a retaliatory attack, supported, of course, by Washington as a way to target and perhaps remove Hugo Chavez;



-- failed to subvert Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's reelection; continues destabilization tactics for regime change; and may, preemptively without cause, attack Iran's nuclear facilities (Or get Israel to do so)



-- ousted the democratically elected Honduran president, installing a fascist regime to replace him;



-- supports the worst of Israeli war crimes and oppression against Palestinians;



-- governs America under police state laws to resist unrest if it arises in the wake of outlandish administration policies;


Enjoy your change. He's George W. Bush v2.0
