Imperial Hubris

What’s Wrong With This Picture?

"Yesterday we learn that a fifth American battleship is now sitting alongside Syria armed with hundreds of Tomahawk missiles aimed at Damascus. So what kind of images does the media bombard us with about civilians preparing to be bombed? People in Israel buying gas masks. What? Huh? Isn’t it the Syrians and not Israel (armed with nukes), who are being threatened? Not a peep from the American media about anyone in Syria anticipating possibly thousands of innocent civilians being ripped apart and murdered by the U.S. government’s 'collateral damage.' Of course, no one in Israel would be wasting his money on gas masks were it not for O-bomb-Ya’s threats to Syria." Continue reading →

John Kerry’s Tender Sensibilities

"In response to Bashir Assad’s crossing of a 'red line' by allegedly using chemical weapons against his own people, Secretary of State John Kerry cites his own fatherly feelings as justification for the all-but-inevitable looming US military intervention in Syria. 'As a father, I can’t get the image out of my head, of a father who held up his dead child, wailing …' Hopefully CNN will try extra hard to sanitize the war footage from Syria once the bombing starts, now that we know how badly dead Syrian kids upset Kerry. Because there are a lot more dead Syrian kids on the way. This is the same John Kerry who served in Vietnam, and who backed two attacks on Iraq and one on Afghanistan, is it not?" Continue reading →

U.S. Has No Moral Standing to Condemn Assad

"Since 1945, the U.S. government has launched aggressive wars in violation of international law. It has tortured prisoners detained without charge. It has dropped atomic bombs on civilian centers, and used napalm, Agent Orange, depleted-uranium shells, and white phosphorus incendiary weapons. It has carpet bombed and firebombed cities. America’s unexploded landmines and cluster bombs still threaten the people of Vietnam and Cambodia. Today it inflicts suffering with Iranian economic sanctions — just as it did to the Iraqi people from 1990 to 2003. The Obama administration bankrolls Egypt’s military government, which massacred over a thousand street demonstrators." Continue reading →
