The M.A.S.T. Project - (Military Advisory and Strategy Team)
Stand
Up America and a great many other constitutional conservative
organizations are simply appalled by the lack of understanding about the
most important issue facing the nation today – the fact that the
economy and US foreign policy are integrally tied. To many people, the
two issues are separate from each other and need to be dealt with
independently; quite possibly, a fatal error.
In
this campaign season for the Presidency, these two issues are at the
forefront. Last night, the first debate focused upon domestic policies
and by all accounts the challenger, Mitt Romney scored a resounding
victory. Fortunately, more debates are scheduled to address foreign
policy as well. The next Presidential debate is scheduled for October
16th, and like the Vice Presidential debate scheduled for next Thursday,
the topic will be domestic and foreign policy.
The
fact is, foreign and economic/domestic policy are not mutually
exclusive by any means because the failure of one or both means the
demise of our way of life – our security depends on both equally. Yes we
have the most technologically advanced weaponry, employed by the most
superior, well-trained troops in quantity and quality, but it is
hamstrung by ham-handed foreign policy and politically active Pentagon
elites.
Our
economy also still leads the world, and how we fare means the success
or failure of the world economy, but it too is being hamstrung by
ham-handed domestic policy. The two candidates tackled one aspect last
night, now, if handled correctly, the candidate who demonstrates a
mastery of the integral nature of the two will succeed, not just in
gathering votes, but more importantly, will correct the course of our
ship of state and allow our economy to truly rebound.
The
biggest threat to American security is a failed economy, and that
failure, when married to the spate of foreign policy and diplomatic
failures of the past three plus years means we are on the brink of
complete collapse if we stay this course. Our status in the world will
have collapsed, and our society will have followed suit.
The
differences in philosophy between the candidates are oceans apart. The
first of the two means proceeding with the status quo based on “getting
your fair share”, from a re-distributive government bent on, at a
minimum, equalizing our standing among nations. The second setting a
course based on sound advice from people who have the type of experience
that marries the two issues, where the nation will regain its necessary
standing as the economic engine of the world. A stable environment
supported by a state of peace through strength once again.
The
question is therefore: do enough people in the electorate understand
this? Do our two Presidential candidates understand this? The answer is a
resounding no, at least emphatically on the left. The status quo
candidate who “fundamentally transformed” our place in the pecking order
of nations certainly does not desire America to lead, domestically or
internationally. The challenger has demonstrated to the nation in the
first debate that he already possesses a mastery of what it takes to
revive this great economic engine, but does he have equally good advice
and experience with its partner, foreign policy, and a strategic plan
that will knit a new fabric of leading the world from the unraveling rag
we are now using to clean up the mess?
Each
campaign is advised by a slate of “experts”, most derived from two
camps. On the left, the Chicago “thug-ocracy” rules, a group advised by a
very well entrenched and intertwined core of Marxists, Communists, and
Socialists, inextricably entwined with pro-Islamic fundamentalists who
rule the day. On the right, we see advice arising from the usual cast of
‘belt-way’ insiders, woefully ignorant, yet arrogant in their
understanding of the world stage. Yes they have business bona fides, and
previous administration chops, but they lack one thing – mastery of the
concept of victory. Of those advising the challenger, is there a true
understanding of our disparate cultures? Is there the type of advice
from leadership in our military and intelligence forces that not only
understands the cultures of the many troubled zones of the world, but
also understands the interconnectedness of the many players so artfully
plying their cunning ways on the chessboard?
The
right strives to identify with the conservatism and leadership
demonstrated so well by Ronald Reagan who led our nation into prosperity
through the policy of peace through strength. In that period of time
there were true commanders and flag officers that knew how to lead and
win. They were supported by members of the intelligence trade craft of
yore, all successful because they were not constrained by lawyers and
self-serving politicians. These men and women still thrive today, yet
few listen – a fatal error compounded.
To offset these fatal errors, SUA proposes an advisory policy group called the MAST Project (Military Advisory and Strategy Team).
This is a group of people who have demonstrated mastery for the Battle
for America; understand the threat of radical Islam the failed Nation
Building strategy under COIN, the forward strategy of Joint Strike Force
Operations (The “Lily Pad” Strategy), and the experience in analyzing
information and real-time intelligence and producing actionable
strategies, tactics and foreign policy.
These
people offer their advice and counsel at this most critical stage in
American history. These people are from, or learned from the “Greatest
Generation” and are here once again to save this great country.
These
people are people of wisdom, experience, common sense, vibrancy,
awareness, and are well-versed and supported by networks of intelligence
professionals, economic titans, and patriotic self-sacrificing experts.
Imagine the room populated by the following people and more:
· Thomas McInerney (LTG USAF – Ret.)
· Paul E. Vallely (MG US Army – Ret.)
· Charles C. Jones III (BG USAF – Ret.)
· William G. Boykin (LTG US Army – Ret.)
· Frank Gaffney
· Ambassador John Bolton
· Michael V. Hayden (General USAF –Ret., former CIA Director)
· Mayor Rudy Giuliani
· Andrew C. McCarthy III
A
first task of MAST is to suggest the most experienced and the best of
the best for Senior Cabinet positions and other key positions of the
Romney administration.
