Reminds
you anything?
Iraq
was imploding. While, at home, Tony Blair and George
Bush
were being accused of lying to their own people to justify the
invasion. What they desperately needed was something that would show
that the invasion was having a good effect in the Arab world. So,
they made an extraordinary decision. They turned for help to the man
who they had always insisted was one of the world’s most dangerous
tyrants: Colonel Gaddafi. And, instead, they set out to make him
their new best friend. A man who had been created by the West as a
fake global supervillain was now going to be turned into a fake hero
of democracy. And everyone, not just politicians, would become
involved. Public relations, academics, television presenters, spies,
and even musicians were all going to help reinvent Colonel Gaddafi.
It would show just how many people in the Western Establishment had,
by now, become the engineers of this fake world.
Now,
the time has come for Donald Trump to play that role related to North
Korea and Kim Jong Un.
But
don't forget what Trump’s most bloodthirsty neocon said
recently
concerning North Korea:
"We’re
looking at the Libya model of 2003, 2004 ..." and “One
thing that Libya did that led us to overcome our skepticism was that
they allowed American and British observers into all their nuclear
related sites ...”
Let us
translate and expand the latest phrase:
Once we
"overcome our skepticism", meaning "make sure that our
next target gives up its nukes, or, has no nukes", then "we
are free to invade". Apparently, that's the 'Libya model'. Of
course, we all know now what happened to Libya.
So now,
try to guess what will happen next ...
