Why We Fight Page #2

Or is there something else going on here?

When something like this

happens you got to take stock...

of this, you got to understand

what went wrong here.

We live here in the United States of Amnesia.

No one remembers anything before Monday morning.

Everything is a blank.

We have no history.

Guatemala 1954.

The United States intervened

unilaterally, to protect its vital interests.

Lebanon 1959, the United

States fills its policy of...

containment and the Middle East is threatened.

They response openly an unilaterally.

The United States intervened

in Laos, Boetoeng, Brazil.

There are so many theories

about what happened in Iraq.

And why we really went in.

But when you look at the history of the

United States, almost every president,

there is something we

don't like, somewhere in...

the world and we've got to

dispense military force.

Ronald Reagan invaded Grenada in 1983.

Last night I ordered US

military forces to Panama.

This is not about one president or one party.

We fight as a nation because

we perceive it is our interest to fight.

At that time a young Paul Wufowitz

was working in a subordinate position

under Dick Chaney, then

Secretary of Defense, in the Pentagon.

With the collapse of the Soviet

Union in 1991 Chaney orders

Wufowitz to write a plan,

to write a grand strategy.

That it was now our destiny that

without the Soviet Union...

there is no one who can possibly

approach us in military terms.

It says, that's the way it ought

to be and our policy must...

be to maintain and expand

that. That we are the new Rome.

That's their strategy, on 9/11

they began to implement it.

It's not just simply a matter of capturing

people and holding them accountable,

but removing the sanctuary is removing...

the support systems, ending

states response territory...

The people who came in with the

president, there are many of them anyway,

were certainly prepared to

shift direction in a...
