Drumbeats and sword rattles, the USA is
heading back again, as usual with a blindfold, into bellicosity and bloodshed.
Hif Majeftie, in order not to look bad and to “stand on his principles”
threatens another Congressionally unapproved venture into the affairs of
another nation. His right hand hatchet man, John Kerry, former head of Vietnam Veterans Against the War,
rattles his saber high-most of all, now that he is in the most powerful
national position he has ever held. Nobody has yet come forth to challenge the
hypocrisy of HIS “principles” yet, I notice. He also (most obviously) needs to re-read the Constitution of the United States, which states that Congress has sole responsibility to levy war, contrary to what he has most obscenely stated otherwise in recent days. But I guess if you walk around long enough with an American flag pin in your lapel, you start believing you are hot shit.
Without proof of
any sort, they insist that regime change MUST come to Syria because
“obviously” it was the Syrian government who created the havoc and casualties
from the gas attack... created, very likely, from chemical weapons which the
USA sold to Saddam Hussein to begin with, spirited over into Syria before the
UN inspections came to THAT country, and prior to the three-trillion-dollar
unilateral US intervention THERE. And to support a ragtag group of rebels a
large portion of whom pledge some sort of loyalty toward our “sworn
enemy” Al Qaeda. Where is the outrage, the shock of the antiwar movement at all
this? Oh, right, it was “our” guy, the “peace candidate” up there blathering.
We had best Support our Commander In Chief and Support The Troops. Duh.
The hypocrisy on all
levels here is underwhelming and another example of why I just cannot believe
half of the things this administration- or for that matter, the things that
come spieling off the top of the heads of either major American political party
nowadays. We already wasted three trillion plus in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now,
we risk to waste not only another trillion or two more, but to draw the entire
world into a MidEast conflict.
This president has done absolutely none of the
things I elected him to do, nor has he done any of the things I had expected
him to do. Instead, he has turned into a smiley-faced “liberal” carbon copy of
the man he replaced. If he'd like to get some slack from me, well he ought to
give up that idea immediately- I am now firmly convinced he is a lying hypocrite
and a murderer- and just another numb- nuts puppet and tool of the military-industrial complex who deserves no less than to be run off Capitol Hill on a rail,
tarred and feathered. For everything this administration has done (in
supporting the totalitarian ideals of the previous) as well as its own
innovations on the theme, nothing short of impeachment will satisfy me.
A president of the USA used to be “the man who kept the peace.” NOW it
appears, their primary mission of course is to oversee and wage wars. Useless,
generally illegal, and unconstitutional wars, based on rumors and lies and
innuendos. While once it was the job of the president to ensure the prosperity
of the nation, now it only appears a president exists to ensure the enmity of
all other nations against it. But I know one thing. If you are against war, you
ought to be against ALL war. Believing there is even such a thing as a “just”
war is an offense against God AND humanity. Unless you would like the world to
go up in flames, don’t lend your support, tacit or otherwise, to the murder of
your brothers, your sisters, and innocents. Because that is all any of this
ever leads to.

Being President of the United States of America means never having to say you're sorry:
