The Army on Monday will unveil an unprecedented doctrine that declares nation-building missions will probably become more important than conventional warfare and defines “fragile states” that breed crime, terrorism and religious and ethnic strife as the greatest threat to U.S. national security.
The doctrine, which has generated intense debate in the U.S. military establishment and government, holds that in coming years, American troops are not likely to engage in major ground combat against hostile states as they did in Iraq and Afghanistan, but instead will frequently be called upon to operate in lawless areas to safeguard populations and rebuild countries.
Such “stability operations” will last longer and ultimately contribute more to the military’s success than “traditional combat operations,” according to the Army’s new Stability Operations Field Manual, a copy of which was obtained by The Washington Post.

We(many nations) have been tied up in Iraq/Afghan for 5 years now with no one exactly sure what to do..
we grabbed the tiger by the tail and now we can’t let go…
Gulf War I – Colin Powell _”Future missions using the US miliatry should should have clear and defined objectives”(Paraphrasing from memory)..
Now it is “We will get into a hostile situation with unclear golas and ojectives shared by the response of the enemy?”
War is a useful tool to GVTs for justifying actions against it’s own people in some countries.. But I won’t say which.

“Nation-building” missions…? “stability missions”… ? based, no doubt on America’s resounding successes at home, and in Iraq and Afghanistan?

I believe America makes choices in haste. We need to act on a timely matter instead of right now. We live in a microwave world and that it what the bailout was all about. We should be able to have town hall meeting with our senater and congress man in a building in are state, and tell them what we want. I do know that well never happen but it use to work, what happened to humanity and rights. Oh yea this has nothing to do with articel but why not, we live in a time of questions and views from others. I believe that is what made this country so great and the divide is what makes this country stink…

They call it “Nation Building”! What this truly is and what should be called is NEW WORLD ORDER BUILDING!
They must destroy a nation in order to build it back up again as an NWO friendly country. All Nations on earth have been placed in THREE CATEGORIES.
1. CORE = These Nations are at the CORE of the NWO, US, ISRAEL, UK etc……
2. BUBBLE = These Nations are not sure if they want to go along with the NWO, Japan, S. Korea, Ethiopia, Namibia, Etc…….
3. GAP = These Nations don’t want ANYTHING to do with the NWO and therefore are placed on the “Terror Watch List” the “Axis of Evil”, Russia, China, N. Korea, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Pakistan, Lebanon, Etc….
When you understand this, you see that what is taking place is they are attacking all of the GAP countries and hoping that the Bubble countries will cry uncle and join the NWO without a fight But they didn’t think it would be this difficult to convince the gap countries to come online and now they are grasping at straws to get them to comply, so, they figured that by collapsing the worlds economy it would be so much simpler to get them to move to the NWO side.
This INFO is directly from the book written by Thomas P.M.Barnett entitled “The Pentagons New Map”

were these places not “nations” and countries before this so called “nation building effort” began?
The world is up-side down..
I pray that there is a God who will punish us all as we deserve.

The only possible solution is to convince as many people as you can to monitor their investments so that those are NOT used to prop up the WAR machine! Many pensioners have very large investment accounts/retirement plans who can really bring the corporate government to their knees!
So please tell all people you know and meet that they can make the difference by shifting their money into more people oriented investments.
James Mansfield–from the bewilderness–thanks for coming!
PS: tell them they should research the companies to which they are shifting their funds carefully. For example, a company like GE sounds innocent enough but you should see what they are involved in!
