C. Preble: We are not Leaving Iraq, The Model is Korea

(CATO INSTITUTE, October 9, 2007) -The surge in Iraq is doing little to create the environment needed for political reconciliation. That's the conclusion of Christopher Preble, Cato's Director of Foreign Policy Studies, who spoke at a Policy Forum at the Cato Institute on September 20th.-


Please note that Preble is critizing the actual foreign policy as one completely at odds with American reality.

Ron Paul said it best:
"It really doesn't matter whether I'm right or wrong, the war is going to end because we are going to have such a political and financial havoc here with the devaluation of our dollar because we just can't keep affording.

This is usually how empires end, by spending too much money to maintain their empires. We are in 130 countries. We have 700 bases around the world.

And it is going to come to an end. I want it to come to an end more gracefully and peacefully, follow the Constitution and follow more sensible foreign policy."
(CNN, December 3, 2007, Ron Paul to Wolf Blitzer)

14 permanent military bases in Iraq and an Embassy larger than the Vatican. Ron Paul was right.... the U.S. doesn't plan on leaving the Arabian Peninsula. Our intervention is based on oil and the expansion of our military (i.e. more bases). I wonder if all this is just a move closer to global control hence global government. Vote Ron Paul 2008!!!

@jasondeckeit: He is a member of the Cato Institute. Cato is a conservative think tank. He wants to know what the big picture is. That's easy. The big picture is a Police State. It's obvious he doesn't research YouTube. The answers are on YouTube. The problem is the Americans won't bother to do any research. Why? They're too busy watching Faux Noise.

Only if it made oil cheaper or even made our government turn to clean alternatives but it degrates both.
