  • The French Strategy in Africa: France’S Role on the Continent & Its Implications for American Foreign Policy
    The French Strategy in Africa: France’s Role on the Continent & its Implications for American Foreign Policy Matt Tiritilli TC 660H Plan II Honors Program The University of Texas at Austin 11 May 2017 ____________________________________________________ J. Paul Pope Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs Supervising Professor ____________________________________________________ Bobby R. Inman, Admiral, U.S. Navy (ret.) Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs Second Reader Abstract In the post-World War II era, the nature of military interventions by traditional powers has changed dramatically due to changes in political priorities and the kinds of conflicts emerging in the world. Especially in the case of the French, national security interests and the decision-making process for engaging in foreign interventions has diverged significantly from the previous era and the modern American format. France has a long history of intervention on the African continent due in part to its colonial history, but also because of its modern economic and security interests there. The aim of this thesis is to articulate a framework for describing French strategy in the region and its implications for American foreign policy decisions. Contrary to the pattern of heavy-footprint, nation building interventions by the United States during this time period, the French format can instead be characterized by the rapid deployment of light forces in the attempt to successfully achieve immediate, but moderate objectives. French policy regarding Africa is based on the principles of strategic autonomy, the maintenance their status as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, and the ‘Europeanization’ of future initiatives. In order to achieve these objectives, France has pursued a foreign policy designed to allow flexibility and selectivity in choosing whether to intervene and to maintain the relative balance of power within their sphere of influence with itself as the regional stabilizer.

    ----~------------------------ - This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu REMARKS OF SENATOR BOB DOLE INTERNATIONAL PLATFORM ASSOCIATION MAYFLOWER HOTEL, WASHINGTON, D.c. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7, 1985 THANKS VERY MUCH, DAN, FOR THAT GENEROUS INTRODUCTION. LET ME BEGIN BY EXPRESSING MY GRATITUDE FOR THIS AWARD. BEFORE I CAME OVER HERE, I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH INTO THEODORE ROOSEVELT'S CAREER, ESPECIALLY AS A PLATFORM ORATOR. FOR INSTANCE, WHEN HE WAS SHOT IN THE CHEST DURING THE 1912 BULL MOOSE CAMPAIGN, HE INSISTED ON DELIVERING A TWO-HOUR SPEECH BEFORE GOING TO THE HOSPITAL. AFTERWARDS, THE DOCTORS FOUND THAT IT WAS THE FOLDED UP MANUSCRIPT -- ABOUT 80 PAGES LONG -- WHICH SLOWED THE BULLET BEFORE IT COULD DO MORTAL DAMAGE. SO THERE YOU HAVE AT LEAST ONE EXAMPLE OF WHERE LONGWINDEDNESS SAVED SOMEONE'S LIFE. FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCE, IT'S MORE LIKELY TO SHORTEN LIFE. Page 1 of 58 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu - 2 - WHY DO WE REMEMBER ROOSEVELT WITH SO MUCH AFFECTION? CERTAINLY, FEW MEN IN THE HISTORY OF THE REPUBLIC EVER ENJOYED THEIR TIME IN POWER MORE. FEW GAVE OFF A MORE EFFORTLESS IMPRESSION OF COMMAND. FEW CONVEYED WITH SUCH ELOQUENCE THE COMBINATION OF PERSONAL VALUES AND A NATIONAL VISION. IT WAS, AFTER ALL, THEODORE ROOSEVELT WHO INSISTED ON THE PRESIDENCY AS THE GREAT "BULLY PULPIT" OF POPULAR DEMOCRACY. AND FEW MEN, BEFORE OR SINCE, HAVE OCCUPIED THAT PULPIT WITH SUCH GUSTO. AS A REPUBLICAN, I ALSO THINK OF ROOSEVELT AS, IN MANY WAYS, THE FATHER OF MY PARTY IN THE 20TH CENTURY.

  • Weapons of Mass Deception
    UPDATED. EMBEDDEDCOVER THE WAR ON IRAQ HOW THE TO MEDIA FAILED . WEAPONS OF MASS DECEPTIONDANNY SCHECHTER NEWS DISSECTOR / MEDIACHANNEL.ORG ColdType WHAT THE CRITICS SAID This is the best book to date about how the media covered the second Gulf War or maybe miscovered the second war. Mr. Schecchter on a day to day basis analysed media coverage. He found the most arresting, interesting , controversial, stupid reports and has got them all in this book for an excellent assessment of the media performance of this war. He is very negative about the media coverage and you read this book and you see why he is so negative about it. I recommend it." – Peter Arnett “In this compelling inquiry, Danny Schechter vividly captures two wars: the one observed by embedded journalists and some who chose not to follow that path, and the “carefully planned, tightly controlled and brilliantly executed media war that was fought alongside it,” a war that was scarcely covered or explained, he rightly reminds us. That crucial failure is addressed with great skill and insight in this careful and comprehensive study, which teaches lessons we ignore at our peril.” – Noam Chomsky. “Once again, Danny Schechter, has the goods on the Powers The Be. This time, he’s caught America’s press puppies in delecto, “embed” with the Pentagon. Schechter tells the tawdry tale of the affair between officialdom and the news boys – who, instead of covering the war, covered it up. How was it that in the reporting on the ‘liberation’ of the people of Iraq, we saw the liberatees only from the gunhole of a moving Abrams tank? Schechter explains this later, lubricious twist, in the creation of the frightening new Military-Entertainment Complex.” – Greg Palast, BBC reporter and author, “The Best Democracy Money Can Buy.” "I'm your biggest fan in Iraq.

The program is called “Operation Focus” because it focuses on specific lawmakers and enlists the help of specific constituents within their states or districts. Lawmakers Operation Focus identifies key legislators who fill leadership posts in the House or Senate, or who serve on the following committees significant for education: • Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies (House and Senate) • Education and Labor Committee (House) • Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) (Senate) • Ways and Means Committee (House) Constituents Operation Focus seeks to enlist the help of influential persons who can communicate with lawmakers about the legislative priorities of the private school community. Such persons might include education and religious leaders; community and business leaders; contributors to political campaigns; board members, administrators, parents, and teachers in schools within the particular state or Congressional district. About This Document The biographical sketches of lawmakers in this document are intended to provide private school leaders with background information that may be helpful in identifying persons well suited to contact legislators. The sketches should also give the identified contacts valuable information to help them connect with the legislator in question.
