"Dumb, Stupid Animals"

[Mir]

"Military men are dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns for foreign policy."

Henry Kissinger, quoted in “Kiss the Boys Goodbye: How the United States Betrayed Its Own POW’s in Vietnam”


Nothing has changed with these evil fuckers; the same mindset rules us at present. With the sad but hardly surprising news today that the W.H. will probably want to "explore alternatives" to democracy in Iraq, what does that say for the thousands of American lives that were sacrificed, crippled, burnt and forever broken? I think it means pretty much what these bastards have already said; and no matter what the chimp and his totally unworthy pack of war-crazed sycophants say about our fallen and maimed, there's no doubt in my mind that in the back of all of their minds, our "heroes" were never anything more to any of them than "dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns" in their maniacal campaign of conquest, pillage and murder. Fuckers. I'm so pissed off that I can't even be satisfied by their seeming admission of abject failure.

2. well, gee, henry, animals are neither dumb nor stupid, nor are human

beings. how nice of you, though, to let us know the contempt you hold for the people you sent to die.

3. This attitude is not limited to members of the military, they truly

believe, to the core of their beings, that we are all "dumb, stupid, animals" to be used and abused in any way that they see fit, for any, or no, reason. They believe that they have a divine right to rule.

4. Yep

and I think it goes a long way to help us understand the treatment of Iraqis in this war (torture, humiliation, rape and murder) and how they do next to nothing about it, even sometimes going to lengths to condone and "legalize" it. No respect whatsoever for human life.
