“Assad must go, Obama says.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Kenyan from Indonesia is gone.
Assad is still there.
It was never our business.
“It was never our business.”
Of course it was, it was all about business, they always are... Acceptable mass human losses aside, war is very lucrative and profitable. This is why the likes of Liz Cheney are pulling their hair out because it might be over.
They are profiting while our dead, wounded, and Grandchildren will be who foots the bill for it.
PROTECT THE KURDS!!! is the cry from the Neo-cons today. I remember back to the day when the word neocon was a slander and an attack against those who wished to destroy terror and Islam. It took a bit of time until I came to realize neocons had only the thought of fortune and domination of the New World Order in mind. They no more had the best intentions to destroy terror, than they had in protecting an ally named Moammar Kaddafi.
My turning point was triggered by GHW Bush refusing to do as he promised for the Kurds after Gulf War 1. Instead OUR ALLY Turkey, along with Saddam Hussein, tortured persecuted and murdered those who were essential in Bush the Elders war. These very same Kurds who now are at risk.
Then came Bush the Youngers war. He too disallowed helping the Kurds, because if he pushed for it he said, OUR ALLY Turkey would not allow us to fly over their airspace while advancing our so called common goal.
We did not care for the Kurds then, we care just as much now Yet their plight is again invoked as a reason to stay in Empire building mode.
What is it again about Turkey being a Nukular power while being a Islamist state along with Pakistan that escape the notice of todays neo-cons? Why again do we call Saudi Arabia a friend, while they build education centers for Jihad?
The answer lies not in our goal being to defeat terror, reduce the power of Islamists and save the world for Democracy. It is in sowing confusion, death and destruction. You see, it easily fills the elites pockets with gold, and enhances their power over us all. The only cost is in blood and lost limbs. Who really cares about the ones bearing the cost? Not the neo-cons, not the Democrats, not the Republicans. It is only the hoi-poloi. The one financing the venture, but never cut in on the profit.
We should’ve gone in, killed whoever the real mastermind was, then left.
