The Big Iraq Lie Marches On

[georgephillip]

You mean this sort of "subjective lefty nonsense"?

"The article (on Haditha) ran on the same day that Barack Obama announced the withdrawal of American troops last week, hailing the almost nine-year war a 'success', resulting in 'an extraordinary achievement' that the troops can look on 'with their heads held high'.

"And so it is that America moves on, casting evidence of its war crimes in the trash, holding nobody accountable and choosing to understand defeat as victory and failure as success."

Understanding failure as success must be useful to a Fucking Insane Bitch like you.

Changing the subject AGAIN, you fucking headcase?

Too blind to follow the thread, brain-stain?

A war of aggression fought in 1846 over the principle commodity of its day serves as a model for another war of aggression aimed at controlling oil supplies 157 years later.

Big Lies were necessary for both to "succeed."

You really put the NUT in 'conspiracy nut.'

At the risk of being (falsely) accused of changing the subject (again) do you think the New NDAA language qualifies as conspiracy or treason?

"The AP reported this Wednesday when the House passed the final House-Senate Conference Committee version of the NDAA:

"'Specifically, the bill would require that the military take custody of a suspect deemed to be a member of al-Qaida or its affiliates and who is involved in plotting or committing attacks on the United States. There is an exemption for U.S. citizens.'"

As has been pointed out repeatedly by civil libertarians, the cunning language is technically correct, because 'require' is different than 'allow,' but although the bill does not 'require' the executive branch to place American citizens in military detention without charge or trial for life, it does indeed 'allow' it."
