By Eric D.GrahamAccording to former CIA official John Stockwell, History is the history of war---of leaders of countries finding reasons and rationals to send the young people off to fight. Not surprisingly, history has repeated itself once again. But this time, the United States government has successfully put a Black face on Western Imperialism as they continue their quest for world domination. During the Bush Administration, this was accomplished by utilizing the military credibility of Secretary of Defense Colin Powell and the brilliance of National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice to justify their illegal invasion in Iraq during Operation Iraqi Liberation. Now with the "selection" of President Obama along with the UN Ambassador Susan Rice, the United States is preparing to go to war with Libya at the cost of $300 million a week along with NATO forces in order to oust Col. Muhammar Gaddafi.
The case against Gaddafi, unlike, Saddam Hussein, does not involve Weapons of Mass Destruction but it does involve deception. Historian and author Howard Zinn confirms this when he says, "The modern liberal state....often uses deception to 
gain its ends---not so much deception of the foreign enemy, but of its own citizens, who have been taught to trust their leaders." Gerald A. Perreira, who served in the Green March, an international battalion for the defense of the Libyan revolution, claims that "in 1996, British intelligence employed the services of an al Qaeda cell inside Libya, paying them a huge fee to assassinate Muammar Qaddafi. A grenade was lobbed at Qaddafi as he walked among a crowd in his hometown, Sirte. He was saved by one of his bodyguards, who threw herself on the grenade."
With all of these acts of espionage, potential backdoor bribes, daily death threats, golden handshakes and silver bullets, President Obama finds himself handcuffed to America's foreign policy and lust for oil. 
As a result, now, he, like actor Samuel L.Jackson, must decide whether or not he is capable of doing the "Unthinkable." This difficult decision will probably turn the hairs on Obama's head from black to gray, his smooth brown-skin to a wrinkled raisin with worry, and his peaceful dreams into restless nights. "I do alot of praying. Absolutely, every night before I go to bed. I am praying I am making the best possible decisions..." President Obama told Diane Sawyer on ABC Nightly News. 
Unfortunately, all of the idealism that got Obama elected has been thrown out the window as the reality of Washington's wicked warmongers knock at the front door of the White House with their guns drawn and their fingers already on the trigger. In effect, Obama is now dropping bombs in Libya like Ronald Wilson Reagan did 1986, when he bombed the Bab al-Azizia compound in Tripoli, killing Qaddafi's daughter and over one hundred Libyans.
Obama, in fact, is starting to sound and act a lot like George W. Bush as skillful speech writers cleverly craft his words to meet the United States' agenda. Deep down, however, I know his heart has been blackened not by cigarette smoke but by the wicked words of war scrolling down his teleprompter as he tries to justify America's military intervention in Africa.
According to Rep.Dennis Kucinich of Ohio, President Obama has no constitutional authority to wage war against Libya and has ignored Article 1 section 8, the War Powers Act as well as the UN mandate. 
Let's not forget, Obama did promise us change. But unfortunately, I think Washington has changed him, changed his outlook on politics, and changed his view of the world. ...
According to John Perkins, an ex-Economic Hitman and author of the Hoodwinked, 
many times political leaders change their campaign promises due to pressure coming from hidden forces within the government. "Somebody that looks like me walks in their office, and he says look Mister President, I am here to congratulate you on being President....he then says in this pocket I have a couple 100 million dollars for you and your family if you play the game our way, and in this pocket I have a gun to shoot you with if you decide to pursue your campaign promises. The decision is yours...” Perkins explained. "But I want to remind you, remember Salvador Allende , Omar Torrijos, Patrice Lumumba,......remember, remember...And these Presidents all know what happened to those people when they went up against the corporate Corporarcy." Perkins said.
"They either died or get taking out of office."
Even though Perkins used this deadly tactic against foreign leaders overseas, many people believe this same strategy has been used here in the America, and currently still is being used today. Yes. We are living in troubling times and the "Military Industrial Complex" is in full effect.
And according to former CIA official and author John Stockwell "Enemies are necessary for the wheels of the U.S. military machine to turn."Currently, we are seeing the wheels of this well-oiled machine turning in Libya as the United States have made Muhammar Gaddafi the new-enemy of the western world. Yes. The United States of America needs a boogey man larking in the darkness of the sub-conscious minds of its citizens to be successful. And to be truthful, if there wasn't a boogey man, they would create one or manufacture one....in the form of Saddam Hussein, Osama Bin Laden, Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad...”
This psychological military tactic of creating an enemy is used because a War on Terror can't be accomplished. It's too broad a concept to be destroyed. It's like the War on Drugs or the War on Poverty. As a result, the United States has to put a face on the problem in order to make it tangible or real.
Therefore, once the government puts a face on the problem, the problem, systematically, can be solved by capturing or assassinating the bad guy. In essence, the American people then will believe the issue at hand disappears or is eliminated.
It's a Machiavelli foreign policy practice but as former US Senator Hiram Johnson said "The first casualty of war is truth. And to be truthful, the Government lies.
Therefore, Manuel Noriega became the face of drugs in the late 80's, Fidel Castro the face of Communism, Saddam Hussein because the face of a "mushroom cloud" over America, Bin Laden became the face of Terrorism after 9/11, Ahmadinejad became the face of "Israel's destruction.." and now Mohammar Gaddafi has become the new face of "evil."
Despite all of these USA military mug shots implanted in the brains of the masses and broadcasted over the airwaves, the people must remember that all U.S. military intervention overseas and abroad is always done in order to maintain the global status quo whether this is justified in terms of fighting drugs, fighting terrorism, containing “rogue states,” opposing “Islamic fundamentalism,” or containing China.” In other words, the ends justify the means, regardless of what political officials suggest. Therefore, the US latest military missions are not about the protection of Libyan civilians, the liberation of women in Afghanistan, the potential rise of an evil dictator, or its loyalty to Israel. It is all about oil.
Now, let's see if I am lying or if they are telling the truth. "I wouldn't place too much emphasis on (oil) with the US's role there (in Libya) but I do think that it is a consideration for the French and others in Europe" said Jeremy Scahill, investigative journalist and author of Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army. "Because most of the oil produced by Libya exported goes to European markets, so, certainly, we should question whether that's a motive for France."
