Some Difference! 8/17

9 Africa should be militarized, destabilized, plundered and where necessary, invaded by proxy armies like those of Rwanda, Ethiopia, Burundi or Kenya, or directly by Western air and ground forces, as in Libya. President Georgia Bush announced the formation of AFRICOM, the US military command for the continent which has officially swallowed all US civilian diplomatic presence. But only a black US president, even under the cover of “humanitarian war” could have invaded an African nation and openly dispatched special forces to Central Africa.

Let's see. Clinton bombed Sudan, Bush created AFRICOM and Obama has used military force in Libya, Somalia and who knows where else. Two Democrats and one Republican. Different parties, but the same basic strategy.

Go back through history and you can find much the same pattern. It doesn't seem to matter which party occupies the White House. Africa gets plundered and bloodied, nonetheless.
