Project for a New American Century

In their Own Words, - We need another Pearl Harbour- Project for New American Century, and The Art of Political War

This state has been described to us, and we have been warned about it clearly and explicitly, leaving no excuse for ignorance. Thawban , one of the Prophet’s  servants, stated that the Prophet  said:  “Soon the nations will call one another against you, just as people call one another to eat from a platter of food.”

"Once again another American a president has shown just how easy it is to get backing from an easily led public for a foreign invasion by a campaign of falsehoods and evasions. In the many U.S. invasions throughout history few if any presidents gave the real reason for them. The cover story was accepted by Congress, and much of the public, in every case.

These ruses for war include: protecting Americans on foreign soil; for the security of the country; stopping aggression; and other plausible-sounding reasons. In many cases outright lies were given. If the action was covert, the president denied involvement.
A few of the many military actions will serve as examples.

In 1846, President Polk asked Congress to declare war against Mexico. He falsely claimed that it had invaded U.S. territory and shed blood. This account was based on a minor skirmish on Mexican soil, but Congress accepted the story and declared war.
Some citizens, including Congressman Abraham Lincoln, said at the time that it was merely an excuse to obtain territory. But most people didnąt care since it added California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico to the Union.

In 1898, President McKinley blamed Spain for the explosion of the battleship Maine in Havana, Cuba. A Spanish inquiry board said it was an internal explosion and offered to submit the case to an international board.

Congress responded by declaring war against Spain, and the U.S. acquired Puerto Rico, the Philippines, Guam and, for all practical purposes, Cuba. (In 1976, Admiral Rickover examined the evidence and concluded that it was an internal explosion that sunk the Maine.)
In 1918 during World War I, President Wilson sent troops into Siberia in a major confrontation with the new Soviet government. He said it was to stop supplies from getting to the Germans, a story which has been called a pretext by most historians. The real reason was to help the reactionary forces overthrow the Soviets. The troops stayed there until June, 1919, when public opinion forced Wilson to withdraw them.

After World War II, the world was open to U.S. corporations as other countries were forced to give up their colonies. The corporations wanted friendly governments in those former colonies so they could invest safely, employ cheap labor, control their minerals and sell corporate products." -  Copyright Alan Bradshaw
