(46 posts)Before David Bloom the reporter died of a pulmonary embolism MSNBC ran a story about an Iraqi scientist whose home was raided and searched for documents that would supposedly reveal Saddams restarted nuclear program. They showed US operatives destroying this guys home and taking him into custody. Of course many people who read the UN's own report on Iraq weapons program dismantling from the first Iraq war knew this was a lie and that it was all for the cameras.
The US government was lying to us all and many of us didn't fall for it. We did look to other sources for info and Iraqi sources obviously would have come in handy had someone cared to truly verify them. Instead we have a million people dead or injured, 5000 US families missing a loved one, 2 trillion dollars that could have been used to save American lives flushed down the toilet and a new unstable Iraq that is no better than the one before with more people being blown to bits everyday. Maybe it's time to look in the mirror Josh. We ain't no saints.
The real question is who is benefitting from all this war and bloodshed the US is involved in around the globe? We are the most militaristic country with our fingers in more conflicts than any other country in the world. It's sad that this is what the US has become. I think the military industrial complex is where we need to look. Eisenhower said it and it's come true.
You keep saying look over there Josh, I think you should be looking over here.
