The Pentagon's "Second 911"

The Pentagon's "Second 911"

Note that the Pentagon has no interest in preventing future terrorist attacks. Their plan is to plan for an attack so that they can retaliate. That is the mantra of this administration. The very idea of a "preemptive strike" is foreign to them, and they have little interest in protecting the American people. War puts them in power and continued war will keep them in power.

Cheney's proposed "contingency plan" did not focus on preventing a Second 9/11. The Cheney plan is predicated on the presumption that Iran would be behind a Second 9/11 and that punitive bombings could immediately be activated, prior to the conduct of an investigation, much in the same way as the attacks on Afghanistan in October 2001, allegedly in retribution for the alleged support of the Taliban government to the 9/11 terrorists. It is worth noting that one does not plan a war in three weeks: the bombing and invasion of Afghanistan had been planned well in advance of 9/11.

I'm sure that there will be many who will decry this article, saying that they are fine with the government planning to retaliate. While retaliation is part of any war, planning for a second 911 instead of working to prevent it is counter to any of the arguments we have heard in defense of those new laws that have effectively destroyed our civil liberties.
