(24,411 posts)...and I guess this is not a government "of the people" any more. It's a government controlled by warmongering, socipathic groups who are dysfunctional asshats.
Seriously. So sick of their bullshit.
Oh hi! We're the United States. Syria killed innocent people, so, in order to make this right--we're going to drop bombs and kill innocent people.
So completely fucked up.
I remember, during the run up to the 2008 election, Obama met with AIPAC members in a hotel room. They sit you down and tell you how it's going to be, I guess.
I wish someone would have the nerve to tell them to go fuck themselves. Why are WE responding to something that is THEIR deal? Fight and fund your own misguided, religion-based debacles!
Religious extremism is the commonality that both the neocons and AIPAC members share. The Bible states that Iran will battle Israel, and that Israel is the land of God's chosen people. So it is dogma and the Bible that fuels the neocon/AIPAC belief that war is coming and the US must be aligned with Israel against Iran. They read into every Middle-Eastern action as if it is part of some Biblical plan--and they over-react--demanding that the US "do something."
Superstition and delusion make the foundation that is fueling all of this. The fact that the paragraphs about AIPAC were scrapped from the NYTimes, demonstrates a deliberate attempt to cover the true intent and reason for all of this war.
Sick people are calling the shots. I know Obama doesn't subscribe to this nonsense. I wish to hell he'd just tell us the truth.
