The "Second Class War"

July 26, 2010

WikiLeaks has released 92,000 classified reports on America's war in Afghanistan. The reports are from January 2004 through December 2009. While I'm certain that America's right will call for an assassination team to take out the proprietors of WikiLeaks as enemies of the empire…..the web site has actually done America a favor.

Barack W. Obama

December 1, 2009

In his scheduled speech tonight at West Point, President Obama will make one of the biggest mistakes of his short presidency. Obama has accepted General McChrystal's recommendations on Afghanistan in their entirety. Those recommendations are unrealistic and have more to do with military testosterone, ego, and the Empire's military industrial complex than the interests of [...]

Wrong On Afghanistan

November 25, 2009
