Yeah, this does stink of classic Rummy (as opposed to caffeine free, diet Rummy). This seems to be an important part of the larger, PNAC reformation of US policy.
What I find interesting more than anything else is how they can continue on the plan of the PNAC even after Iraq has turned into a quagmire of epic proportions that completely contradicted the expected result. The American people have been against the war now for several years, and the next president (Obama) will be withdrawing troops. By all accounts, it's a perfect failure, despite the fact that it's made a lot of profiteers money. Russia and China are now going to be stronger in the region (China just reached a $3b oil deal with Iraq), which will help to fuel them in what appears to be the sequel to the cold war.
BTW, I was born in 1983. Is there anything I should know going into this cold war that others might have learned the last time around?
