What is deteriorating is the public’s patience with these endless wars of empire and the continuous fear-mongering by a behemoth that is scared of its own shadow, and the public’s taste for endless lies and spurious justifications we heard all throughout the VietNam war.
What is deteriorating is the effectiveness of the propaganda machine in keeping the conscousness level of the American public in a stupor, and the controls that counter-act the threat of real democracy in the US.
What is deteriorating is the acceptance of billions to corporations and war, and the willingness to allow the corporate gutting of social services.
What is deteriorating is the gullibility of the American people.
Yankee, go home!

There was a movie back in the sixties called “Situation Hopeless But Not Serious”. That’s the Afghan situation report that should be placed on Obama’s desk each day.
