Iraq

Misleading Us Into War….The Sequel

February 1, 2012

In 2002 when neo-cons within the U.S. military and inside the Bush White House worked hard to deceive Congress and the American people into cheering for an unprovoked attack against the non-threatening nation of Iraq, steady and repetitive neo-connish messaging cleared the pathway to aggressive war. Not only was Saddam Hussein's Iraq not a threat [...]

"Inconsistent With Our Values"

January 16, 2012

There has been quite a bit of noise surrounding the U.S. Marines urinating-on-Taliban-corpses story. Most of the noise has been of the polite disapproval type. You know, 'I support our soldiers killing the terrorists over there, but those brave boys shouldn't be making videos of themselves desecrating dead bodies….that's just not right.' The typical "condemnations" [...]

Why Iraq?

December 16, 2011

Many times I've heard Village spokespeople rhetorically ask…why did we go into Iraq? Why the Iraq war? These Village talking heads know the answer to that question, but in typical Village fashion, cannot explain it to the unwashed masses because then people like Bill Kristol, Don Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle and the [...]

Keeping The Press Safe

November 25, 2011

It should be transparent to anyone who has been paying attention….but I'll say it anyway…. the United States is descending further into an authoritarian militarized country which features separate and distinct forms of justice for the haves…and the have-nots. The haves….have unfettered and unquestioned rights. Their money is, in actuality, free speech. Their corporations pay [...]

We're All Neo-Cons Now

October 14, 2011

President Obama's biggest disappointment, at least to progressives, has been his, I guess, "rebirth", as a neo-conservative. During Obama's campaign for the presidency, he made political hay out of George and Dick's offshore gulags, torture of detainees, unprovoked military attacks and occupations of countries posing no threat to America, eavesdropping on Americans without warrants, secrecy, [...]

Why They Hate Us

September 1, 2011

I give credit to the Akron Beacon Journal for including this story in today's paper. With an all volunteer military and a compromised and corrupt national media, Americans don't often hear the truth about our numerous military adventures in foreign lands. I guess it's just easier that way. If Americans were kept informed about our [...]

Basing Policy On Falsehoods

July 20, 2011

Don't look now but we are in the middle of another Iraq moment. Though it happened over 8 years ago now, I remember it as if it were yesterday. Corporate media, working hand in hand with the Bush White House members, waged a campaign of propaganda against the American people, convincing a wide majority that [...]

The Land Of Lies

June 23, 2011

It seems that Bloomberg took a new poll…. A majority of Americans say job growth would best be revived with prescriptions favored by the (Republican) party: cuts in government spending and taxes, the Bloomberg Poll shows. Even 40 percent of Democrats share that view. …. Though Americans rate unemployment and the economy as a greater [...]

Romney: Generals Decide

June 15, 2011

Following up on what I said yesterday about CNN's GOP presidential candidates' "debate"….. I guess it's official. Mitt Romney "emerges (as) an emboldened frontrunner from debate"….says PBS. CNN Politics announced, "Romney emerges as New Hampshire front-runner." "GOP debate solidifies Romney's frontrunner status" claims US News. I'm sure that Mitt Romney is a nice man and [...]

Another Excuse To Liberate Oil

June 12, 2011

On March 18th I put together a post concerning why the Obama administration started a war in Libya. Contrary to the "liberal" NY Times at the time, who said that Obama started dropping bombs in Libya because "the political imperative" was such that the U.S. couldn't simply watch "from the sidelines while a notorious dictator [...]
