10 Problems with the Latest Excuse for War. If you own a television or read a newspaper you've probably heard that we need another war because the Syrian government used chemical weapons.
If you own a computer and know where to look you've probably heard that there isn't actually any evidence for that claim. Below are 10 reasons why this latest excuse for war is no good EVEN IF TRUE. 1. War is not made legal by such an excuse. It can't be found in the Kellogg-Briand Pact, the United Nations Charter, or the U.S. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. We might better spread democracy by example than by bomb. There are nonviolent pro-democracy movements in Bahrain and Turkey and elsewhere, and our government doesn't lift a finger in support.
But if you remember all those years of protesting wars and wishing millions of foolish partisan Republicans would join us in protesting blatant mass-murder even though the president was a Republican, I have good news for you. If you're not too busy. Bush Knew There Were No WMDs – Jokes About the Lie that Resulted in Over 100,000 Deaths. Last week, while reading the following text from the article “Washington Thinks You Are Stupid” by Paul Craig Roberts, I was reminded of a video (see the video below) of George W.
Bush making a big joke about the failure to find Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs) in Iraq: “There’s the old saying that if the government fears the people, there is liberty, but if the people fear the government there is tyranny. The criminals in Washington not only do not fear us, they do not respect us. Washington looks upon Americans as stupid sheeple. “Washington believes that it can tell the population anything and the people will believe it… “And don’t forget those nonexistent weapons of mass destruction that Saddam Hussein was alleged by Washington to possess.
Dying Iraq War Veteran Tomas Young Reacts to George W. The WMD lie resulted in at least 100,000 deaths (and as many as 1.4 million deaths according to anti-war.com). Bush Sought Regime Change in Iraq from Day ONE of His Administration Suskind: “No” Fixing Intel Around the Syria Policy. Source: Consortium News President Barack Obama speaking to the United Nations General Assembly on Sept. 24, 2013.
(UN photo) After the Aug. 21 chemical weapons incident in Syria, a number of senior U.S. intelligence analysts disagreed with the Obama administration's rush to judgment blaming the Syrian government, but their dissent on this question of war or peace was concealed from the American people. The administration kept the dissent secret by circumventing the normal intelligence process and issuing on Aug. 30 something called a "Government Assessment," posted at the White House press office's Web site and fingering the Syrian regime of President Bashar al-Assad as the guilty party. Normally, such an important issue -- a possible U.S. military engagement -- would be the focus of a National Intelligence Estimate, but that would also cite the disagreements expressed within the intelligence community.
Inspectors' Doubts. Zen Gardner: From 9/11 to Ukraine – The Dystopian Script Foretold. Zen Gardner | Zengardner | April 29th 2014 The overwhelming evidence that the events of 9/11 could have in no way been perpetrated without inside complicity is irrefutable.
Whether the impossibility of those two massively over-designed structures being pulverized and another dropped into its own footprint, or the abject lack of response by the most defended airspace in the world, the events of that day had to have been at least aided and guided, if not co-perpetrated, by inside, complicit forces. The least bit of open minded investigation will lead anyone to that conclusion.
The only alternative is to blindly trust the staged media narrative, carefully reinforced by a belated congressional report that clearly ignored important evidence – another government report based on scant clues, planned conjecture, and a lot of falsified, deleted and diluted information.
