Billy Jack vs. W

Billy Jack brings us The Bush Doctrine of World Domination Through Military Force.
The first anyone knew of the Doctrine was on March 7, 1992 when the New York Times published a secret classified document revealing that the then Bush Sr. Administration intended to pursue a strategy to dominate the earth and to “maintain the mechanisms for deterring potential competitors from even aspiring to a larger regional or global role.” The explosive 46-page Department of Defense policy document presented a concept of “a new world order” that will be achieved by “first, the US must show the leadership necessary to establish and protect a new order that holds the promise of convincing potential competitors that they may not aspire to a greater role or pursue a more aggressive posture to protect their legitimate interests.”For most this is old news. We have all been commenting about this for awhile. But I bring this citing up today because I wonder: In a fight, would W stand a chance against Billy Jack?
Created by then Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney, the classified report was known as “Defense Planning Guidance for Fiscal Years 1994-1999,” and went on to say that the second step is, “second, in the non-defense areas, we must account sufficiently for the interest of the advanced industrial nations to discourage them from challenging our leadership or seeking to overturn the established political and economic order …”.
The classified document makes the case for a world dominated by one superpower whose position will be perpetuated by sufficient military might to deter any nation, or group of nations, from challenging American policy. Included in the areas to be put under American domination and control are Europe, Asia and the Middle East, but also the document remarks that the US has “important interests at stake in Latin America, Oceania, and Sub-Saharan Africa … where the US will be concerned with preventing the domination of key regions by a hostile power.”
Among the key issues of concern to US policy makers will be “access to vital raw materials, primarily Persian Gulf oil …”. In all of these regions it is imperative that the US “maintain our status as a military power of the first magnitude,” so as to “prevent the emergence of a vacuum or the development of a nation with regional influence.”
