Saudi Arabia: Five beheaded and ‘crucified’ amid ‘disturbing’ rise in executions

22. The hypocrisy of it all

makes me ill. We have rebels eating organs, executing and beheading people, it's all good. A supposed Assad-gov chemical weapon attack takes place and hair is on fire to attack. (See what I did there with the hair on fire insult?).

Anything and everything is acceptable and good as long as it serves our goals, but if we can somehow capitalize on an act, whether it took place as advertised (and I use that word exactly as intended) or not, suddenly, it is imperative to wade right in.

It is no secret that this is about an oil pipeline, and anyone who thinks it has anything to do with humanitarian reasons needs only to turn to Rwanda and Congo to see that humanitarian only matters when there is profit. We are getting a hard sell on this one, which is the main reason why we need to reject it at all costs - because it is neither good for the US, nor for the people we are going to "help" by bombing the hell out of their country.
