This is being touted on the PCGAMER UK forums as futher proof that the US is the incarnation of All Bad Things.

Yeah, right, say I - a top secret document was 'discovered' by a British newspaper. Uh huh.

Now that's frightening. Some of that shit is clearly bull crap right from the start. It's got to be the equivalent of the National Enquierer or something.

They claim that a "global Pax Americana" is proof of wanting an American Empire, despite the fact that "pax" means "peace"?

As soon as I read this part I was 100% positive that the "secret blueprint" was crap.

Of course, ArmorPierce's Special Space Force already owns all of space over Earth. Ridiculous to think that a puny entitity like the United States can take it away from us.

Actually, that's not complete bullshit. There have been proposals for research into space-based weapons systems and anti-sattelite vehicles based on the "necessity" of space domination in future wars. The main argument against these proposals has been that space isn't a theater of war yet and there is no reason to make it one when it will take years for the research to yeild anything and in the meantime it's just going to piss everyone else off. While none of these proposals has been approved so far, at least, not to my knowledge, I worry about the possibilty that Bush will actively support such research in the future, given his past history.

A British newpaper, eh? Credibility-wise, this seems somewhere between the National Enquirer and the Weekly World News...

I don't think they do. They hate the frogs. The reasons for that are, to me, a bit unclear. Other than they have made losing wars an art.

We don't, we just hate their tabloids. Respectable British newspapers, whose names end in words like "Times" or "Post", are fine.
