Well,
well, it looks like Obama has his war after all. Hey, that's what the job calls
for. He wanted to be the manager of a militarist corporate surveillance
state.
He's
got the perfect bad guys, too, custom made by the catastrophic failures of
Bush's invasion of Iraq.
The
renegade Islamic State thugs are succeeding in their efforts to draw the US
into more war. Kill a couple journalists and let the American corporate media
do the rest. “Freak out! NOW!. They’re coming to kill us in our sleep!"
Does
anyone remember just before Bush launched his invasion of Iraq? We learned
Americans are led to war like sheep. Let me show you how well the brainwashing
worked:
Poll: 70%
believe Saddam, 9-11 link

WASHINGTON
(AP) — Nearly seven in 10 Americans believe it is likely that ousted Iraqi
leader Saddam Hussein was personally involved in the Sept. 11 attacks, says a
poll out almost two years after the terrorists' strike against this country.
Sixty-nine
percent in a Washington Post poll published Saturday said they
believe it is likely the Iraqi leader was personally involved in the attacks
carried out by al-Qaeda. A majority of Democrats, Republicans and independents
believe it's likely Saddam was involved.
Yes,
I'm afraid it CAN happen here. Good Americans are just like the Good Germans of
1939.
Couple
that with the strategy that works every time:
All
that we have to do is to send two Mujahedin to the farthest point East to raise
a piece of cloth on which is written al-Qa’ida in order to make the generals
race there to cause America to suffer human economic and political losses
without their achieving for it anything of note other than some benefits to
their private companies… So we are continuing this policy in bleeding America
to the point of bankruptcy. --- Osama bin laden
Remember
when the Right used to lecture, "We need to listen to what the enemy
says"?
IS
learned something from old bin-Laden. The best way to hurt America is to draw
it into ANOTHER futile military adventure in Iraq. It wasn't that
long ago I predicted, quite easily, of course, an Iraq War III. It was
inevitable after Bush’s disastrous war for crony profit and political capital.
Now
Americans have been whipped into another frenzy of war fever. Two murdered
journalists have stoked the public ire more than thousands of children shot in
America.
Yes,
the Islamic State are evil and brutal fanatics. Yes, they need to be stopped.
And no, the US isn’t the only country that should act. This is why we have the
UN.
But
some Americans want another war, and want it now. Perhaps we’d have more
military support from other nations if they hadn’t made the mistake of
believing the lies of Bush and Cheney the last time around.
So
lucky for us, Sarah Palin has some military and foreign policy advice for
President Obama, Oh, yes the Twit of the Tundra is sharpening her claws for
war.
First
thing first. Blame the black guy for the mess Bush created. Blame Obama that IS
has seized American made weapons from the feeble Iraqi military that replaced
the professional one Bush had dissolved.
Blame
the black guy for the Status of Forces Agreement signed by Bush that removed
troops from Iraq.
Throw
in some far Right propaganda points about Obama “leading from behind”, or
hating America, or whatever toxic swill of hate they love to spew.
Palin
knows just who to blame,“The rise of the animalistic terror group, ISIS, is the
result of Obama’s lead-from-behind foreign policy.” I guess, this is how
hypocrites “support the president” in a time of war.
“He
had broadcast his war strategy for all the enemy to see in Iraq, so the enemy
could wait us out and strike as soon as America turned tail and turned away
from all we’d sacrificed there. Terrorists who we had under control got to
regroup and grow after Obama’s premature pull out. Those are the facts, and
some tough talking speech is still just talk.”
Yeah,
Sarah, never mind the cult of the far Right was just this week accusing Obama
of having no strategy. I suppose that would make sense to someone who blames
Obama that, “America turned tail and turned away from all we’d sacrificed
there”. Again, it was BUSH who signed the agreement to leave, under pressure
from Iraqis sick of the occupation. Just blame the black guy, like a good
racist, war mongering idiot. The RRBC Radical Right Bubble Cult is full of
them.
She
fumes, “Terrorists who we had under control got to regroup and grow after
Obama’s premature pull out.” Or would that also be false?
But
what about the terrorists we created by invading Iraq? Damn, some of us got
that one correct, too.
Abu
Bakr al-Baghdadi, the head of the jihadist terror group was detained without
charges by US forces, for reasons unclear, and confined in Camp Bucca. Although
he was released into Iraqi custody in 2009, (Before, not after, the
alleged “premature pull out") former inmates of Camp
Bucca say the military prison was a training ground for extremism.
Curiously,
James Skylar Gerrond, a former US Air Force security forces officer and a
compound commander at Camp Bucca in 2006 and 2007, also says that he believes
Baghdadi's stay at the prison contributed to his radicalization—or at least
bolstered his extremism.
So,
Sarah, “Those are the facts, and some tough talking speech is still just talk.”
Yes,
America, listen to the tough talking Quitter in Lipstick. She’s the
“experienced expert” to guide our nation.
“War
is hell. So go big or go home, Mr. President,” exhorts the woman who, AFTER
being nominated for vice-president, needed to be taught who we were at war with
in WWI and in Korea.
And
all those "Good Americans" listen to her.
What.
A. Country.
