FT,

But the American people are already against this war.
It is already unpopular and rapidly getting more so.
How does that translate into getting Obama re-
elected? It doesn’t. I also believe that so soon
after Iraq and Bush, it will not be possible to
change public opinion only with a big propaganda
campaign. The only way to accomplish this, I think,
will be just what Michael Scheuer said on Glen Beck,
another major terrorist attack. As public support for
Afghanistan falls, the probability of another false
flag attack rises. My “terror alert color code” is
currently at red. The only question is whether Obama
will go along with another false flag attack or not.
If the gang that perpetrated 9-11 doesn’t think he
will play ball, then the terrorist attack would have
to take Obama out - a suitcase nuke detonated near
the White House, say.

So, the tankers were destroyed, yes? So, much for “search and recovery”. Hey, maybe this could be a new strategy. Place unguarded fuel tankers out in the open, with GPS devices, wait for them to be stolen, then blow the shit out of them after they are taken.

What a way to fight a war, conduct a police action, rebuild a nation, combat terrorism,    KILL

In Wallace Shawn’s new book, ESSAYS, there is a conversation between the author and Noam Chomsky, where Professor Chomsky points out that President Kennedy, Clinton, and Bush (both one and two) committed mass murder. Of course no President will claim to see it that way, finding excuses by claiming to be shining beacon for democracy and freedom, or more bluntly, getting the evil-doers out of their holes.
I am sure President Obama feels the same way. If fighting the “right war” as he claims, means mass murder, so be it. But as Tony Wicher said on this thread, “this is Obama’s war now. This blood is on his hands.”
Perhaps late at night, when even security is not paying much attention, the President sneaks in a smoke. Quietly crushing the burnt cigarette butt out, he can be heard to say: “I can’t get this damn spot off of my hand.”

Obama appointed the head of Bush’s White House death squads, McCrystal, to head the Afpak war. this is the third time now that he has announced a change in killing Afghans when a strike against them a day or two later resulted in mass killing.

This is not accidental.  The population supports the resistence to the US occupation and anyone who does is called a Terrorist.  The villagers trying to get some gas may well have supported the opposition to the occupation of their country.  There are at least fifty million of Pushtans in Afghanistan and Pakistan.  and the resistence, all called the Taliban, is nestled in the villages.

Continuing this war is continuing mass murder, torture and the rape of children specialized in by the police funded by the US.  for no reason whatever outside of electing Obama next time to office.  there is no way to win that war, indeed there is nothing to win.

The blood should be saved and the money applied to domestic purposes, since the US power structurre can’t be trusted to give it to the Afghan people.  the American power structure supposts mass murder, torture and rape, including the torturre and rape of children.  And the American people should say so.

I hope there remains one person in Washington D.C. who can go to the White House, get a private audience with the President and bitch slap Obama back to reality by pointing out these actions in our name and are an antithesis to the platform he was elected on.

Obama= War Criminal. Period.

Note the irony in the jet fuel—which undoubtedly would have caused some “regretable” civilian casualties used by US pilots anyway (one has to assume USAF with their string of Guernicas in the last years), knowingly torched by said “aces”, incinerating all and sundry rather than let the jet fuel be used in… what? the Taliban airforce? Afghani stoves and lamps?

The dead hand of Bush is alive and well with this ongoing litany of warcrimes and nescient slaughter.

This is not what Americans voted for in 2006, and it’s not what we voted for in 2008. This madness has to stop. The eighth anniversary of this war is coming up in October. If you have had enough of this, then start planning on where you are going to be on October Seventh. Get out in the streets and make your voices heard. There are demonstrations and marches being planned all over the country, by lots of different groups. If you can’t find one near you, then stand on your own street corner and hold up a sign. Do something concrete to show everyone where you stand.
peace!

From the Guardian article (there’s a video)

“..McChrystal’s tactical directive follows intense criticism of Nato air strikes by the Afghan president, Hamid Karzai, and others this summer. The controversy was fuelled by a report from the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan that said coalition air strikes were responsible for nearly a third of the 1,013 civilian deaths during the first half of the year…”

People were trying to get fuel! All the money we are spending ane they have, what 20 million people living in abject poverty?!

“The Human Development Index also presents a gloomy picture: life expectancy is 44 years; 53% of the total population lives below the poverty line; the adult literacy rate is 29%; only 3% of women are literate and in some areas less than 1% of the population is literate; one woman dies from pregnancy-related causes every 30 minutes; one out of five children dies before the age of five.”

This is just mass murder, war crimes - there is no
other way to describe it. And this is Obama’s war now.
This blood is on his hands.
