Strategy of the US Empire in the Middle East or "The Long War"

[adipocere]

This document was drawn up by the RAND corporation in 2008 at the behest of the US army. It outlines the imperial strategy of the US in regards to the Middle East. It's about 230 pages, but it is summarized in the first 20.

There are some pretty chilling passages.

Hahaha, I love the coded writings in some of these government documents. For example:


Under this strategy, the United States would work with key allies like Algeria, Egypt, and Yemen to remove all Salafi-jihadist elements from certain areas through a classic COIN approach that concludes with infrastructure restoration and the formation of local self-defense militias.

Yes, "local self-defense militias", LOL. Otherwise known as "death squads".
