Reply #10: I agree, and I think that the Bush-planned Oil War in South America may go private, [View All]

if they can't get it jump-started this year, with Bush still in office and, as Donald Rumsfeld urges in a Dec 07 op-ed in the WaPo, with the U.S. taking "swift action" in support of "friends and allies" in South America. What he may mean is U.S. military support for the "independence" of oil-rich secessionist provinces in Venezuela, Bolivia and/or Ecuador. The Bushites have been organizing, funding and probably arming the fascist groups planning these secessionist coups. I think they would like to stick Obama with such a quagmire--U.S. troops committed in South America--but if that doesn't work--and the South Americans are onto it, and manuevering to stop it--then the war will go private, and be a longer war of attrition, with the breakoff fascist mini-states occurring somewhat later, when they're ready to go without 4th Fleet or other U.S. military backup--with Rumsfeld having use of the Colombia military and rightwing paramilitary death squads, local militias, possibly some major drug lord militias, Blackwater (active in Colombia), corporate involvement (Exxon Mobil and others), and possibly the traitor involvement of other U.S. military contractors like DynCorp--creating a huge diplomatic fracas for Obama, and possibly difficulties with the U.S. military.

What I don't quite get about this Brazilian sale to Blackwater is that Brazilian President Lula da Silva is adamantly opposed to these secessionist plots, is a staunch ally of Hugo Chavez and the other Bolivarian countries, and is surely aware of the nefarious nature of Blackwater's activities--but maybe the sale was out of his control. I will have to find out more about it. One thing I'm sure of--this is BAD NEWS.
