New Plans Foresee Fighting Terrorism Beyond War Zones

"Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld has approved the military's most ambitious plan yet to fight terrorism around the world and retaliate more rapidly and decisively in the case of another major terrorist attack on the United States, according to defense officials."

"The long-awaited campaign plan for the global war on terrorism, as well as two subordinate plans also approved within the past month by Rumsfeld, are considered the Pentagon's highest priority, according to officials familiar with the three documents who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about them publicly."

"Details of the plans are secret, but in general they envision a significantly expanded role for the military -- and, in particular, a growing force of elite Special Operations troops -- in continuous operations to combat terrorism outside of war zones such as Iraq and Afghanistan. Developed over about three years by the Special Operations Command (SOCOM) in Tampa, the plans reflect a beefing up of the Pentagon's involvement in domains traditionally handled by the Central Intelligence Agency and the State Department."

Keep in mind that nothing the government has said, has been true, and so none of their activities are taking place for the reasons they give. It should be understood that after more than four years of abiding by no ones' rules but our own (that we're making up as we go along), that if we haven't caught up to "the terrorists" by now, that catching them isn't really on the agenda, and never was. Think about it. As long as those phantom still run free, our government has a ready made excuse to continue on track towards "full spectrum dominance" of the globe, along with the growing authority to suppress through intimidation, any meaningful dissent here at home.
