I am aware of Peter’s map etc, but Pfaff seems to be quite specific here: a pro Israeli neo-conservative plan put forward in New York. Any link to the plan/event Pfaff speaks of?

Heh–I see b has already linked to the NYPost article.

Thanks to billions of dollars spent in road and air base construction, troops in landlocked Afghanistan will never have to worry about getting enough supplies, the Pentagon’s chief of military transportation told senators last week.
Insurgent attacks on major supply roads into Afghanistan have disrupted U.S. delivery schedules, said Gen. Duncan J. McNabb, who directs the U.S. Transport Command. But he told lawmakers that he has personally assured the head of Central Command, Gen. David H. Petraeus, “We will be there. We’ll figure out and make sure you never have to worry about this.” (My emphasis)
….
…About 130 to 140 shipments reach Afghanistan each day along that route, McNabb said, and because only 78 containers a day are currently needed to keep up with demand, “we’re getting more in than we need.”
But insurgents have been successful enough at interrupting shipments that McNabb’s command is using satellite trackers to look for any sign of attack and to reroute trucks accordingly.
Meanwhile, “alternative routes to Afghanistan through the Caucasus and Central Asia have become a high priority,” McNabb told the senators. The Pentagon has enlisted Russia, China, Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan in a northern distribution network, and a few dozen shipments have already reached the Afghan capital, Kabul, by that route.

It burns me up to no end that Obama has hired yet another shady character from the underworld of Goldman Sachs to steer our economy out of a deep ditch of toxic waste. Gary Gensler is not only a bankster from Goldman, he’s also a Rubin protege marinated in the Rubinomics of keeping derivatives in the dark and kicking de-regulations into high gear.

Thinking back, the damage that Enron did to our economy is a drop in the bucket compared to the ocean of damage that Goldman is now doing to it. Needless to say, the public outrage would be deafening if Obama hired just one measly crook from Enron as one of his chief economic advisors. So I’m dumbfounded beyond words that the public remains tone deaf as Obama surrounds himself with an entire gang of Rubin-esque crooks from Goldman.
Let me also make mention that what Goldman Sachs is doing to our Treasury is turning out to be what Lockheed Martin has done to our Pentagon. Goldman and Lockheed are fast turning into two peas in a pod, I’m afraid…:`(

From the Asia Times:
“Obama’s decision to go along with the military proposal for a “transition force” of 35,000 to 50,000 troops thus represents a complete abandonment of his own original policy of combat troop withdrawal and an acceptance of what the military wanted all along – the continued presence of several combat brigades in Iraq well beyond mid-2010.”
China calls US military report a ‘gross distortion’
“”This report issued by the US side continues to play up the fallacy of the so-called China military threat,” foreign ministry spokesman Qin Gang told journalists in Beijing.
“This is a gross distortion of the facts… and China resolutely opposes it.””
This wouldn’t be all that interesting in itself, except for this:
DPP caucus chief slams change in military drill
“A [pro-U.S., pro-Independence] Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) legislator slammed the government yesterday for changing the scenario for this year’s military drill from defense against a Chinese military attack into military action in case of a “domestic crisis.”
The criticism came in the wake of local media reports that this year’s Yushan exercises would not, as in the past, focus on a cross-strait military conflict, but rather on the government’s ability to deal with domestic incidents, such as a disease outbreak, a major earthquake, a massive blackout, fuel supply cutoff or a financial crisis.”
And this:
Pentagon warns on conceding to China
“A new Pentagon report on Chinese military power suggests that Beijing may be trying to frighten Taiwan into making repeated concessions.
It says that despite apparently improved cross-strait relations under President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九), “there have been no signs that Beijing’s military dispositions opposite Taiwan have changed.”
The 60-page annual report to Congress on China’s military also makes clear that the US “is maintaining the capacity to defend against Beijing’s use of force or coercion against Taiwan.”
“Beijing appears prepared to defer the use of force as long as it believes the trend of cross-strait relations continues toward unification and the costs of a conflict outweigh the benefits,” it says.
“In the near term, Beijing’s objective appears to be focused on preventing Taiwan from moving toward de jure independence through a strategy that integrates political, economic, cultural, legal, diplomatic and coercive military instruments of power,” it says.”
This report by the Pentagon is at express odds with official U.S. policy. Official U.S. policy explicitly sets aside the question of “Independence” in favor of “Maintaining the Status Quo”. This Pentagon report, however, is clearly asserting that “de jure” independence is the desired end-point of U.S. and Pentagon policy, and lists Beijing use of “political, economic, cultural, legal” and “diplomatic” methods as problematic elements on a par with its military buildup.
In effect, the Pentagon is telling Congress that it is prepared to provoke war in the Taiwan Strait.
