Surge Report out - America officially told to fuck off
What more is there to say about the Petraeus and Crocker show today, predictably unveiling nothing but more fucking of America.
Fucking of the troops - those killed for George’s messianic visions, or worse, maimed for life. Fucking of their families - the sons and daughters of who live with this disaster every second and have to buy into it because…Christ…How can you admit that this hellish life is all a mistake?
Fucking of our standing in the world - Yes, as a superpower but an often benevolent one. Fucking of the good will and sympathy we had after 9-11. Fucking of world opinion of the U.S.
Fucking of previous military leaders who didn’t back the party line. Fucking of the Iraq Study Group, Fucking of the GAO report on the surge…Fucking of our own intelligence agencies, who say we’re breeding terrorists over there faster than we can kill them.
Fucking of the real numbers - Sectarian violence, Children dying, poor levels of electricity and water, increases in disease, families displaced.
Fucking of the Iraqi people yet again, who in the latest BBC poll say life is worse for them and that the surge isn’t working.
Fucking of the future of America - not just of our strength in the world but our future health care, education, your children’s Social Security, our roads and bridges.
It goes on…and who is to blame? The Neocons, for sure. The party in power…the media…Our loser reps in Congress. All the bit players on the inside who see the wrongs everyday and bite their tongues either in fear or in denial.
And the American people as one. Including you and I.
The next step will be the ultimate wag the dog. A bad sequel that, someday, we will realize already played out 5 years ago. A new marketing prgram that somehow sounds familiar. After all, why change something that worked so well (and continues to)?
Those paying attention lately will not be surprised to find out the latest product will be another attack - this time on Iran. Sure, we could never send in ground troops, but we can bomb he hell out of them.
You don’t think the American people will go for it? It won’t happen again? I hope you’re right, but standby to be barraged with propaganda designed to convince say, 1/3 of the people that Iran is an imminent threat that needs to be handled. What about the other 66 percent?
Fuck the rest! That’s their feeling - these guys DO NOT CARE.
They have nothing to lose. They are going out with their biggest bang yet.
9-11. Iraq. Iran.
Cheney will be pushing it, but through his lapdog’s 9-11 memorial speech.
Start paying attention. Listen to the war drums. Be aware. Warn your friends.
Maybe as a nation we can head this one off…It will either take impeachment…or a lot of people in high places who truly are fed up…or a lot of marching in the streets.
