Also, I forgot to mention that best to bog down US military in Afghanistan so the forces there can't be redeployed to Venezuela and Bolivia.

Yeah, and he explicitly wants to take the troops withdrawn from Iraq and send them to Afghanistan. Surely you've noticed that. Doug ^^^^ CB: Surely since you don't allow "conspiracy theories" of 9/11, it is your position that Bin Laden's group did 9/11. Is it your position that Bin Laden's group did 9/11, but the US shan't attack Bin Laden's group ? Given the premise that Bin Laden's group attacked the US on 9/11, I don't know of a legal argument against the US military counterattacking that group. Bin Laden's group is sort of unique in modern US imperialist history. No other "Third World" country or group has actually attacked the US, contrary to US lying propaganda about protecting American "freedom" through wars in Korea, Viet Nam, Nicaragua, Afghanistan-ante (!), etc. Iraq was the opposite. The attack there by the US violates the UN Convention against Crimes Against Peace. As far as imperialism, I don't really think the US wants to set up a colony or neo-colony in Afghanistan. There's not much to exploit there. _______________________________________________ Marxism-Thaxis mailing list Marxism-Thaxis@lists.econ.utah.edu To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxism-thaxis This message has been scanned for malware by SurfControl plc. www.surfcontrol.com _______________________________________________ Marxism-Thaxis mailing list Marxism-Thaxis@lists.econ.utah.edu To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxism-thaxis _______________________________________________ Marxism-Thaxis mailing list Marxism-Thaxis@lists.econ.utah.edu To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxism-thaxis
