Americans are starting to ask questions about the latest war that our government has so politely got the country into……..questions that should have been asked a year or more ago……the government gives no enlightenment on why…….they choose to ignore the conflict until they cannot and then they use the media to downplay an negativity and the media happily misinforms the public.
Americans need to stand up to the neocons that prefer endless war to appease their money givers, the M-IC,…………but before they demand answer they need to educate themselves on the Middle East situation to avoid being duped……..
So much has happened after what the media labelled, the Arab Spring, and much of it is violence and conflict……
Step forward and be the first on your block to understand the situation……
Darker Horizons Ahead: Rethinking the War on ‘IS’ by Ramzy Baroud — Antiwar.com.
SIGH…
This country has been involved in a war, with only minor gaps, each less than five years, since 1941. without pause…. It’s just that since 1950, none of them have been declared by Congress, as is the only legal method listed in the Constitution. Police actions, advisors, consultants, and now by executive order, we now spend, some days, more than a billion dollars (that’s per DAY…. think about it; just a bombing run against ISIS runs to $750 million; not counting gas, oil, or chewing gum.), bombing, shooting, and killing people all over the world, as we pursue our “national interests”, which, oddly enough, look exactly like “business” interests….
This one is the latest in a long line, but, with the perfect characteristic for them; no specific country to attack. Now we can send our troops, ships, and planes to bomb and kill almost anywhere we wish, to chase down this amorphous organization created by our own spy agencies, gone rogue (or, so it is reported…. who really knows, or cares, where they began?…)
It’s all a load of horse shit, all designed to keep the Krupps, Winchesters, Kalyshnikovs, and Enfields happy, as their munitions factories pump out more bombs, bullets, and stuff to cart them around in…. As long as a war is going on anywhere in the world, the arms dealers, of which our government is one of the largest in the world, if not THE largest, are going to be fat, and cheerful….
gigoid, the dubious
Exactlt…….the M-IC demands and gets these “conflicts”……they pay good money for the politician prostitutes we elect……this will be a continuous thing for many years to come…..only the American people can stop it and they are unwilling to do so……chuq
Chuq,
Sadly, historically, this is the way it’s always been; it’s just not being hidden as well these days, thanks to tech & internet…. It’s why the Asininnies are trying so hard to control the Net; they can’t afford for us to know so much of what they’re up to…
gigoid
The media is in partner with the M-IC…..they will not report on them…..we must search the internet and most od us Americans are too goddamn lazy for that…….thank God for people like us that want the truth to be out there…..chuq
