the occupations.
wtf.
He posted, on his TV website, that Iraq had less troop deaths in December 2009.
sooooo I posted that in Afghanistan the troop deaths went up.
I even provided a link.
Now he keeps emailing me asking me why I dont support the occupations.
I sent him oodles of info, about AIPAC< PNAC< Pepe Escobar..he has every link I can provide.
his question to me on email was this:
'So, you’re the President…you’re response to 9/11 and the general terrorism committed by young Muslim males all around the border of the Islamic world would be….'
so I said "I would take a serious look at the policies we have in place that would create such a climate of hate in ME nations. I would start with the ongoing support we have of Israel, and our need to condone some of the overtly militaristic behaviours that Israel condones. and our monetary support via AIPAC, and the ties it has with the evangelical christian community in the USA . (I am a Jew, but I condemn the use of force in Gaza)
I condemned, back in the 90's , Clinton's use of force in Iraq, the sanctions and flyovers we perpetrated.
I condemned the Vietnam war, and the waste of lives and monies back then.
I believe that the United States has a huge problem with it's own vision. As Eisenhower stated to us back in the 50's "Beware of the Military Industrial Complex".
Afghanistan is not about terrorists. It is about an oil pipeline.
http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Central_Asia/KL24Ag07.html http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Central_Asia/KC26Ag01.html Iraq was never about terrorists. even the most gung ho advocates of that occupation are aware of that now.
PNAC was a think tank of very radical neocons back in the 1990's.
their vision was to take over the oil fields and nations of Iraq and surrounding areas.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_for_the_New_American_CenturyIraq is now being sold to the highest bidder. highest oil company bidder.
i.e., these occupations are not about attacking terrorists. they are assuring multinational corporations their piece of the pie.
In many countries, we are seen as the terrorists.
and, unfortunately, Obama is continiung along the same path as his predecessor.
Thank you for asking.
Peace be with you and your family.
(I tried to keep it simple.)
