Charlie Sheen on 9/11 - Patriot or Pratt?

So a neo-repub group of egg-heads and party leaders got together and suggested to the president that America needs to be A) the biggest military around and B) the moral authority of the world?

Whatever, let the kids have their fun.

Assuming that the president listens, swallowing it is just too much. I'd rather just joke about it and move to Singapore.

I did actually read a surprising amount of the wiki article because it was a cocco bill link.

Well I'm not saying anything, just that there seem to be too many odd coincidences in this whole thing to my liking.

Did you read enough tho to see who these group of egg-heads included? Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Libby...I'd imagine they had "some" pull in the government.

And they do have one awesome card in their hand, every wants America to be the military and moral leader of the world. Even if this place is filled with people who believe Sean Hannity and co., trust the enemy you know, right? Better us running the world than China.

I would personally, at least on a theoretical level, welcome a world government, it would take care of a lot of useless patriotism and drama. Then again, the governance model is not important, the way, by whom and towards what goals it's run is. A benevolent wise dictatorship is probably the optimum.

It's little secret that Cheney was gung ho about invading Iraq, and that he deliberately used false data to persuade many officials and the populous

Could have something to do with Halliburton and KBR and Blackwater and other mercenaries. The Iraq War was largely privatized, and they've made about an assload more than an assload of money. Around half of the US military personnel in the Middle East are super expensive contractors.
