NO matter how they fool the average American, the world has seen the truth; the US military is struggling. Having been led by the nose into two wars by interested parties, the US military machine which was once considered without parallel and capable of defeating any force on earth, is deeply mired in both wars with no end in sight.
Looking back in history, this state of affairs was almost predictable for those who had insight into the European Union's unease over the overwhelming superiority of the US forces by the time George W Bush became President. What happened next is another story, one which would perhaps be denied by all those affected by the truth.
But the facts are starting to surface in bits and pieces, seemingly unconnected and in easily deniable state. Following is one such morsel of information;
3/19/2008 12:01:53 AM As part of a broad plan to keep the country safe, the U.S. military is beefing up its efforts to gather intelligence, fend off cyber attacks and improve relations with other nations while its beleaguered military struggles to fight two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The plan acknowledges that a significant risk remains for another outbreak of war elsewhere in the world that the U.S. military cannot quickly and fully respond and it outlines what must be done to counter the threat.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates' plan sent to the Congress centers around building partnerships with other countries and is accompanied by a classified risk assessment compiled by Adm. Michael Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Gates said in the four-page Pentagon plan obtained by The Associated Press that the "most important component in the Long War is not the fighting we do ourselves but how well we help our partners defend and govern themselves."
This would include providing more disaster relief around the globe to improve "the positive worldwide perception of the United States," Gates added.
