"I don't think our troops ought to be used for what's called nation-building. . . . I think what we need to do is convince people who live in the lands they live in to build the nations. Maybe I'm missing something here. I mean, we're going to have a kind of nation-building corps from America? Absolutely not."
George W. Bush (Oct. 11, 2000)
They don't support "nation building." They support "region building"! On Stephanopoulos this morning, as Condi was kicking up sand to bury their own B.S. (responding to Downing Street question) she inadvertantly laid out the real US rationale for invading Iraq. I don't have a transcript yet, but she said that we are working to "build" a new Middle East. And that we are working to bring democracy to that part of the world. Will follow up with transcript when available.
