Bush says we must invade 60 countries; reasonable Cheney says only 40

[HamdenRice]

This is unbelievable!! Did you know that Bush and Cheney have estimated that we need to invade between 40 and 60 countries to accomplish regime change!??!

DUer Umtalal posted a link to a Chalmers Johnson article:

And the paragraph that blew me away in Johnson's piece was this:

At West Point, the president said that the United States had a unilateral right to overthrow any government in the world that it deemed a threat to American security. He argued that the United States must be prepared to wage the "war on terror" against as many as sixty countries if weapons of mass destruction are to be kept out of terrorists' hands. "We must take that battle to the enemy, disrupt his plans and confront the worst threats before they emerge." Americans must be "ready for pre-emptive action when necessary to defend our liberty and to defend our lives ... . In the world we have entered, the only path to safety is the path of action. And this nation will act." Although Bush did not name every single one, his hit-list of sixty possible target countries was an escalation over Vice President Dick Cheney, who in November 2001, said that there were only "forty or fifty" countries that United States wanted to attack after eliminating the al Qaeda terrorists in Afghanistan.

1. Didn't Hilter say the same thing about "Lebensraum"?

And "Security"?
And did he not also claim to be bringing "Freedom" to the people of Poland (the ones he claimed were REALLY Germans) that September day in 1939?

Hey, you holocaust rememberers, before you start banging you keyboards denouncing me, tell me, did Hitler kill HIS 6,000,000 in his FIRST 4 years?
