Veteran officers within the military found themselves forced to condemn a presentation delivered to the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Virginia, where the unthinkable—using nuclear weapons against holy sites like Mecca and Medina—was actually put on the table. It was presented as a historical parallel to the devastation seen in Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Tokyo, and Dresden.
“We have come to realize that there is no such thing as modern Islam,” Matthew A. Dooley stated back in June 2011, essentially drafting a manifesto for American anti-Islamic defense. “The United States has to be crystal clear here: this aggressive ideology can no longer be tolerated. Islam must change, or it faces self-destruction.” This was the assertion made by Lieutenant Colonel Matthew A. Dooley during a seminar for the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Norfolk, Virginia. He laid out a four-phase blueprint designed to fundamentally transform Islam, one method being the initiation of counterterrorism operations directed at civilian populations—a strategy Dooley, who remains stationed in Norfolk conducting courses for officers preparing for deployment to Iraq, Afghanistan, and other Muslim nations, explicitly advocated.
Following the fallout, the Defense Intelligence Agency was ordered to investigate the matter this past April, as the content flew in the face of the "values we stand for," according to General Dempsey, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Dempsey was alerted to the situation by one of the course participants, a counterintelligence officer currently serving in Iraq. Upon hearing the details, Dempsey immediately issued orders to all staff branches, commands, and training centers to halt these types of lectures and any similar presentations regarding a total war against the Muslim world. General Flynn, acting as an assistant to Dempsey on these matters, officially suspended the courses in Norfolk this month.
Of course, none of this diminishes the official news breaking these days; the United States is ramping up its military involvement in Yemen and Pakistan significantly.
J. Brennan, a senior advisor to the White House Counterterrorism Center, announced this shift during a speech in Washington, D.C. Now, the Pentagon finds itself in the unenviable position of having to justify its actions to a watchful public.
Up until now, the "policy" for the high establishment—both the Pentagon and the White House—regarding military operations in Muslim countries has been to maintain a tight lid on things. The standard advice has always been: “...We are not in a position to comment on specific classified operations or specific areas of the world where we are engaged...” That is simply the directive handed down from PR handlers. The conclusion regarding our involvement in "unspecified military operations" stems from a statement by Brennan, who remarked, “...The United States government utilizes drones wherever they are required...”
