What the hell is controlled chaos ?

[blues90]

Can these two words even be used in the same sentence ?

I heard the dyed red haired news woman , don't know if this was CNN or MSNBC ramble out controlled choas describing the bridge collapse today .

All I could imagine is fenced in citizens .

2. It comes from the PNAC doc, "Rebuilding America's Defenses"

Although I believe they used the term "creative chaos" in theie
diatribe of madness.
If you have never read the document, you simply must.

3. The term used by Mike Ledeen is "creative destruction."

Then there's "managed chaos", a term used in computing and the military:

10. Great excerpt on the topic, especially in light of Katrina and the MN bridge...

"In his 2002 book The War Against the Terror Masters, in a rare moment of unguarded intellectual honesty, neocon guru Michael Ledeen unwittingly let slip what is probably the best two-word description of the underlying agenda that has been pursued by the neocons over the last several years and is ongoing today: "Creative destruction."

"Creative destruction is our middle name, both within our own society and abroad. We tear down the old order every day, from business to science, literature, art, architecture, and cinema to politics and the law. Our enemies have always hated this whirlwind of energy and creativity, which menaces their traditions (whatever they may be) and shames them for their inability to keep pace. … They must attack us in order to survive, just as we must destroy them to advance our historic mission."

Given the Bush administration's astoundingly reckless spending habits, the retrospective knowledge of its eagerness to lie the country into the Iraq quagmire, and the neocons' enthusiasm for tearing down the old order – "both within our own society and abroad" – is it possible that our current bind is the deliberate result of a policy of destruction?
Is it possible that it is not just the Middle East that the Bush administration, Ledeen, and the other neocons want to destroy in order to reconstruct, but America as well? But why? Why would our own leadership want to deliberately put our country into a position of vulnerability?"

I hate to look at it because it is precisely what seems to be going on now and I don't feel for one second that rummy is out of some high position , he is just behind the radar working with his war toys .

12. Iraq

The chaos in Iraq was engineered by those who would benifit from instability there. It was no accident that large magazines were left to be looted, as well as all of the Iraqi national treasure. Thieves, flim-flam men, and generally evil bastards benifit from chaos, it allows for their slight of hand.

13. No, no.

You need to put it in relation to deregulation to see it in simple terms. Just picture some corporation CEOs playing a round of golf with a Senior Senator and they suggest deregulating electricity in a certain part of town, well, those CEOs would have some inside information. Then, when everything gets deregulated, there's a moment of chaos, which isn't really choas, because the predator CEOs are right there on the ground floor to take advantage of the deregulation. That's the controlled part.
