The Sisterhood of the Traveling Warmongers who have destroyed Libya: Hillary Clinton; Susan Rice; Samantha  Power!

The recent article in the Huffington Post, by Eline Gordts, entitled ‘How Libya Became A Country On The Brink of Collapse’, August 26, 2014, describes in detail how a USA led invasion of Libya resulted in a complete imbroglio in Libya resulting in ‘2 parliaments and 2 prime ministers’.

Clearly, this is not a new revelation to the American people that an unnecessary invasion of a country like Libya, results in chaos and further destabilization of the North African region.  Ladies, you’ve come a long way baby to contradict the myth that women in charge of a country are less likely to initiate a war than a man. Nowhere is this more apparent than in Libya where the cry of ‘regime change’ against Qaddaffi was spoken loudest by our most pre-eminent Lady War Hawk, Sec State Hillary Clinton, who, like Senator McCain, never failed to fight a war she could never win. 

Replete with rationalizations, obfuscations and blatant lies, Hillary in her usual Machiavellian manner cries for ‘regime change, not only in Iraq, Afghanistan, but in Libya where a ‘tyrant’ who has helped America in its war on terrorism has to be ‘overthrown’ in the name of ‘democracy’.  However, thanks to the Sisterhood of Traveling War Mongers, including the well-known pacifists such as Ambassador Samantha ‘Mrs Genocide’ Power; as well as, Ambassador Susan ‘Sunday Morning Lies’ Rice, who both chimed in to the hysteria of demanding a war in Libya against the sagacious restraints of our military leaders, mainly Gen. Martin Dempsey and others.

As you know,  we went in there with all the armaments that we, the French and British could muster and blasted the ‘holy hell’ out of that country in the name of ‘preventing Genocide’ and installing “Democracy”.
What happened next?
Just like the Paul Wolfowitz-Rumsfeld-Cheney Phenomenon of ‘dumb and dumber’,  no one had the inclination or intelligence to even consider the post-invasion scenario.

We have embedded in our national security apparatus a civilian corps of ‘draft dodgers’ like Wolfowitz, Cheney, Bush Jr, Jeb,  Neocons and ‘liberal interventionists’—as well as women who have never been in combat and do not understand the dynamics of ‘mass killing’ and are completely ignorant by choice and inclination of any notion of nationstate building.

In my experience, I have never met a military officer who encouraged the use of force in any occasion without considering the consequences, the collateral damage and the post-war build out of that area or country that had been invaded.  We can see the effects on America of not having a President with any military experience in the past three decades.  Consequently,  Americans have witnessed more conflagrations in those thirty years than in the preceding thirty years. 

Such ignorance of war and war-making consequences constitute malpractice in EXECUTIVE ACTIONS.  Americans have not yet held any of our miscreant past leaders accountable for anything other than Bill Clinton’s Fellatio in the White House.  We have a White House, populated by ideologues who have never been to war or even understand the dynamics of warfare and it’s horrible consequences.

Like Bush jr and Obama,  they even have to lie about one or another reason for sending our warriors into Harm’s Way without ever understanding how a man/woman can be killed, maimed or mentally destroyed for no apparent reason other than a political whim that turned into a massive civilian lie.

So far,  Americans have been fortunate to have General Martin Dempsey, Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff, who can and will veto most if not all actions, initiated by a novitiate group of women warmongers, like Hillary, Power, and Rice who fancy their inclinations for massive destruction of innocent civilians overseas to be in the best interest of America.

General Dempsey has taken on the mantle of what General Eisenhower had to do in both North Korea and Vietnam: stop the former war initiated by Truman; and, try to prevent the latter from spreading at the behest of the French Colonial regime in Indochina. My experience teaching at Ft McNair in Washington DC demonstrated to me that most military students understood all too well that starting a war was simple.  Any fool can do that.  Managing a war is far more complicated.  Ending a war is close to impossible.

I am afraid that once General Dempsey and his ilk leave our country’s service,  I do  not see a civilian leader who can be reigned in by the wisdom of our ‘soldier scholars’ or an old man who fought one too many battles in his life…. Me!! 

I see that the Sisterhood of Traveling Warmongers will arise like a phoenix and demand to sacrifice our men and women to wars that will eventually destroy the very core of our fighting military capacity.  I leave this warning to our future generals and admirals: caution is the better part of valor.
