And as you can see, it was a dud. Did the US use Cluster Bombs in Iraq? Answer, to pre-empt next expected diversion and to save time:
Yes, yes they did. Our War Criminals Cluster Bombed a Market place in Iraq blowing to bits men women and children.
And we decided that we DO TOLERATE THESE THINGS so rather than NOT TOLERATE the killing of innocent victims, we exonerate them, we 'move forward' so we don't bother our extremely sensitive minds with such things.
Until we need an excuse for yet another invasion of yet another country on the PNAC list. Then, we find out 'conscience' all of a sudden. We talk about 'victims' as if we cared, btw, do you know the names of any of the victims that we care about 'today'? How about the Libya victims we left behind to fend for themselves despite their cries for help AFTER WE ACCOMPLISHED the REAL GOAL, transparent as it was then, and still is? Do you know what happened to THOSE victims? Does anyone who supported that crime, care?
I keep waiting to see something human regarding these victims, the Iraqi Victims, the Afghanistan Victims, the Libyan Victims and now the Syrian Victims, that we claime we care so much about.
I KNOW what happened to all the others. We talk about them in 'numbers'. But not as human beings, especially AFTER we invade their countries at which point we never mention them again.
