Are Niggers Allowed To "Preempt"?

Washington's unofficial reaction to Russia's promise to "take steps to liquidate terror bases in any region" -- "Every country has the right to defend itself," -- might suggest as much.

But to really put the "every country" assertion to the test, how if we to see the reaction if, say, Chavez or Lula or Castro were to threaten to "liquidate" the School Of The Americas in Fort Benning, Georgia (as textbook a "terror base" as any in the world)?

But then, it would also be interesting to see the U.S. reaction were Putin to threaten to "liquidate" any of the new Central Asian military bases ringing Mother Russia.

Besides, if the Bush Administration up and begins allowing other countries to declare the own "Preemption" Doctrines, their logical absurdity -- who has the right to "preempt" whom first? -- would show itself all too quickly. And we know that logical absurdities are anathema in the Bush Pentagon....
