It seems lately that every war the United States gets itself into can’t just be another war, it has to be an open-ended clash of civilizations. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel set out that assessment fairly straightforwardly in his recent comments at the Washington Ideas Festival.
“We are living through one of these historic, defining times,” Hagel warned, “We are seeing a new world order – post World War II, post Soviet Union implosion.”
Hagel went on to make it quite clear what that meant, open-ended war with ISIS and open-ended war with various other enemies of the US military will require a “steady, long-term effort” to defeat.
Other officials have talked about the ISIS conflict being a 30-year war, and that seems extremely speculative, as officials haven’t laid out what victory will even look like, let alone how it’s going to happen.
Hagel’s been keen to talk about the “new world order” in speeches for months now, and while he never makes it clear what he envisions that looking like when it all shakes out, the underlying constant is wars, and lots of them.
Hagel’s most recent speech didn’t even treat the endless wars as a controversial thing, rather as an inevitability that both sides of Congress need to get used to and start cooperating on.
So Hagel turned out to be just another tool of the New World Order? I thought he was going to change something.?
“We are seeing a new world order"
Well Chuck, that puts you in company with the N@zis and the Bolsheviks.
At least he's honest about it…. The Bush clan can't be happy about the reference.
Yes, he's honest and he's not a traitor … "what can't be cured must be endured until it can be cured" …

"The neocons are psychopaths…."
You can't accuse the establishment of being original, that's for sure. Is this new new world order any different than the old new world order or is it the same crap?
Your right Rrick. It's the same old crap in a new package. There's nothing new under the sun.
Haggling with semantics
Clearly, the men and women who run The USA have miniscule amounts of knowledge if any.
It would appear that this "New World Order" consists of American power brokers making demands and the rest of the world hastening to comply. Yes, it will require endless war to impose those orders on the world.
Endless war now being named "New World Order"
A new vocabulary for tyranny.
Oh, we have the resources, huh Chuck? Last I checked the US is the greatest debtor nation in the history of the world. The Empire will fall apart, it's happening now, well before its "New World Order" (total US dominance of the world) is accomplished. (BTW I thought GHWB's old phrase was retired). Seems like once USG officials gets caught up in the "Beltway Bubble" they lose all sense of reason and perspective.
We have always been at war with Rusasia, Iranersia and Isisabia.
Additionally, the chocolate ration will be increased from 30g to 20g weekly.
All too apt an observation, Eric.
When the Bushism father declared the New World Order he forgot to mention that the idea is from the father of all Zionism in America Paul Wolfowitz, he is the ideologue behind all that wars organized, conducted and orchestrated by NATO and U.S., Madeline Albright is the mother of that illegitimate ideologue whom with Bill Clinton started the Balkan war and since then world been witnessing nothing but wars. Since then, USG reduced to order taker, a war machine creating wars losing it but creating another to continue its political favoritism to Israel, saudis barbarians regime wanting to compleat the idea in controlling and managing the world. One world one government is the idea behind new world order and for that USG/NATO regimes been feeding the beast in last 25 years. Therefore, there are leftovers from years 1960-2000 whom are not short of being marked as Stone Age politicians whose desire is to continue these endless wars to the point of third world war, they still think that world belongs to hitlerism and hitlerism is the only way to achieve their goal. AIPAC and others a like orgonizations are up to their neck involved wanting for USA to dominate the world no matter the costs and for them to govern USA, they already in action by militarizing the political system and having control of the economic system as well.
The Secretary of Eternal War.
This is what happens when complete morons are in charge. I think the last President who was not a complete fool was Carter. And he was no Einstein. What kind of blowback is this going to bring home.
Germany once thought they could impose their new world order on the world . Now NATO and ISIS are planning on imposing their new world orders on the rest of us . Doesn't look like much has changed
This is what they do now, "It's not our fault we have to fight these endless wars against our enemies that hate us for our freedoms"–more of the same continual BS to stupidify and brainwash the American public, as though the US has no responsibility for the blowback its resource wars and greed creates . . .
Remember when Hagel was looked at as someone who got it? Obviously he has went through his indoctrination seamlessly.
hagle "got it" then stood up
I read something about what this New World Order will look like. The book was called 1984.
shilling for even bigger military/national security budgets. nothing more. reagan outspending the soviets militarily as a tactic to bring down the USSR doesn't seem such a bright idea now, as the spending in the US has just kept going up and up. when will US taxpayers say enough?
ISIS: ditto that Carter/Brzezinski bright idea to create the mujahadeen to fight the soviets.
as for manmade global warming being a national security threat, pull the other one, chuck.
Even after the CIA magically boosted ISIS numbers from 10,000 to 40,000, it's still the size of a small American town.
We need w New World Order for that? Please, in 30 years those guys will all be old men and our "leaders" will all be dead from old age.
Oh and don't forget to vote…LOL VOTE FOR WHAT? ARE YOU INSANE?
The real problem in the Middle East is that ISIS is secretly funded by so-called 'moderate' Islamic states 9stooge and occupied for all practical purposes by the English from england) who do nothing whatsoever to oppose ISIS but make lame protests for the consumption of the Western media. These 'mainstream' Muslims actually regard ISIS as a necessary evil to win back Muslim dominance as a world power. ISIS could not exist without Sunni supporters in Saudi Arabia, Jordon, Kuwait, Qutar, Turkey and Anbar Province Iraq, all of whom are british and thus American allies but actually lick their chops at the prospect of a vast Sunni Caliphate in the Middle East. They resent the West for colonizing their land (who can blame them for that?). More ominously, they distrust democracy, preferring Sharia law. These 'moderates' are perfectly willing to see ISIS do the dirty work, so that they can step in when it's over and run the Caliphate. Everybody senses this, but nobody has the guts to say it, because it's not in the way mean stream media has portrayed those “british controlled so called “moderates “ so farin an opposite way.
