Property values down, gas prices up, the Wall St. catastrophe, stuck in the mire of Iraq; where do you turn to next? Secretary of Defense Robert Gates has decided to go back to the land of the first and "fair" exploitation. Africa.
In Feb. 2007, National Guard officer George Walker Bush, created Africom (The U.S Africa "Command"). This is supposedly the "Pentagon's first effort to unite counterterroism, training and humanitarian operations..." Africom will begin "operations" on October 1, 2008 out of Stuttgart, Germany. Nonetheless, there are "deep suspicions in Africa about it's intentions."
So, let's take a step back. Why would Africans be worried about white people coming to their continent? Its not like the Western "civilization" crusaders raped every resource, including the humans, of the continent. Or that tens of 1,000's of years before European nations came to Africa, Asians and Semitic tribes laid the foundation of what the Europeans built on, namely rape, pillage and plunder.
"Africom will support, not shape, U.S Foreign policy on the continent." Now that statement is absolutely true but lets put it into context. As uncovered by the recent Sarah Palin interviews, there is some sort of Bush "Doctrine" which supposedly spells out our current foreign policy. Our current foreign policy is kill first, pardon yourself and your friends after and leave the effects for another person to inherit. So its no coincidence that 17% of our oil comes from Africa. T. Boone and Big Oil must have gotten in Bush's ear again. I don't think it's a stretch to think that America has another war on its hands. Let's see how this visit from the misanthrope of the West is received by the incipient inhabitants of the land.
Hopefully, you will read the article yourself and draw your own conclusions. If you don't read it though, by the end of the article, the U.S has already; this is a military mission to "counter" terrorism (the act of being black or doing anything that is not white) and to "train", better yet brainwash, people to believe the U.S is doing something positive.
