Yesterday’s hearing, in the U.S. Senate, was a complete travesty! General Petraeus (read Betrayus), shifted gears in the ever-changing “justifications” for the Iraq War. Once again the media played along. Senators Clinton and Obama didn’t go too far and actually challenge Petraeus regarding the utter and complete failure of the U.S. in Iraq. Remember, the military can’t be criticized since the conversion of the Vietnam War to a “noble cause” during the presidency of the “Great Communicator" Ronald Reagan. McCain, the Right-Wing warmonger from Arizona, went along with this new shift for justification of the great immorality that is the Iraq War.
U.S, National Security Advisor Walt Rostow uttered the words “light at the end of the tunnel” in 1967 to justify the continued atrocities the U.S. was perpetrating in Vietnam. Today, Bush and Cheney have offered the same phony reasons for war, ranging from weapons of mass destruction to the fictional democracy that has never materialized in Iraq. Iraq is a quagmire of militias, just as Afghanistan is a quagmire of warlords. And where is Bin Laden? We know where the shipments of opium are coming from, fueling the world drug trade!
Petraeus is being touted as a possible political candidate for future elections. The beat goes on with the imperial politics of an imperial nation!
