"Shock and Awe" -- The most sick and vicious act of utter cowardice in modern history.

[ConsAreLiars]

Yes, I know that at the core it was a decision by the global capitalist caste to extend their economic domination and their geopolitical/imperial power.

But many of those who were inside the White House have commented on the widespread sense of panic that followed the realization that they might be held to account for having let the attacks of 9/11 succeed. (Well, the writers just say they were in a state of panic after 9/11, not why.) And then they began a campaign of terrifying the people of this country into a blind unthinking panic and sense of helplessness.

So the mass murder of Iraqis, the invasion and occupation, something they had wanted from day one, was further motivated by the fear of those in power being exposed for the criminal enterprise they were, and they gained the consent of most of those they governed, using and reinforcing the utter craven cowardice of the right-wing sickos as a method of control.

From the most conniving and cynical operatives at the top to the most pathetic and ignorant dittohead at the bottom, the war crime known originally as O.I.L. was based on a cowardice of the worst sort.

Mike Malloy, as he has on each anniversary of the initiation of this murderous invasion, played several minutes of the massive bombing and mass killings that was labeled "Shock and Awe" and celebrated universally by the corporatists' propaganda machinery.

Here is a posting on youtube from Malloy's program last year: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6n9MDj4ijI

What a putrid, vile, cowardly and evil act.
