I realize it's a one-note song. September 23, 2014 8:10 pm bowser

But how can Americans fall for the same bullshit from the same people over and over and over again?  Remember Johnson and the Gulf of Tonkin?  An episode invented for political purposes, and sold to the US as smoothly and easily as a cow with diarrhea takes a dump.  How about the Iraq war, all the hard intelligence, all the “We know” stuff.  Lies.  Tillman – died fighting ferociously (died shot in the back by American soldiers firing American guns with American ammo).  And that woman “rescued” from an Iraqi hospital after fighting until her ammo ran out.  Surrendered, was taken to the hospital, then delivered to American armed forces by an Iraqi doctor.  Abu Ghraib being “rogue” troops torturing Iraqis, torture wasn’t American policy.  Obama belongs there, too.  Guantanamo would be shut down, we’d get out of the Middle East.  Lying sacks of shit, all of them.

And now again, how the ISIS is threatening the US at home, how we have to fight them over there, huge threat, mean bastards.  While we kill unknown quantities of innocent people with terrorist bombing.

And the American people keep swallowing it like a 6 month old being fed mashed peas, like a baby bird being fed by it’s mama.

I don’t expect anyone to read or respond.  They may believe the people, again, demonstrating a lack of the ability to live and learn, to observe, assess and see the obvious, or they just don’t give a damn.  Either way the American public collectively is more like a cow than anything else.  Feed me and I’m happy, even if you’re feeding me bullshit.

And, by the way, that bombing is cowardly and terrorism.  At least the WTC people had the guts to die for what they believed in.
