It just makes you want to scream. Go to that link--if you can take any more horror this week. It is mind-boggling, what is being done there in our name.
It forces you to start shutting down your analytical mind--in a desire to just rage at these war criminals running our government and our military, and robbing us blind to harm these innocent people.
But, while rage is good sometimes, we mustn't stop analysing. All this is taking place at or on the Syrian border, and one of the things we must anticipate is a manufactured "Gulf of Tonkin" type incident, that will provide the excuse to send U.S. troops into Syria.
The area is a cauldron of suffering already--and the arrogance of U.S. actions is just unbelievable.
With Bush in so much political trouble over the criminal neglect of people caught in the hurricane, and with half of the top regime members facing potential prosecution in treasongate, including Cheney (who may be the main target), we need to at least discuss and strategize re: a potential invasion of Syria.
The Bushites badly need a distraction--and Iraq/Syria might be it.
I don't think Bush has any legal authority to expand the war--although this Congress would likely bow down to whatever his majesty desires, and they've grown quite adept now at utterly ignoring public opinion. (Gee, I wonder if it has anything to do with Bushite electronic voting machine companies tabulating all our votes with SECRET, PROPRIETARY programming code?)
Still, I don't think Bush has the political cache left, with which to expand the war. A 30% approval rating--with close to 80% opposing the Iraq war--is damn bad, even for a tyrant. And he doesn't have the cannon fodder. It's just not there. He could nuke it, though----or use conventional bombs on Syrian towns, and try to draw Syria in. The man is such a loony, and his puppetmasters are such evil, greedy people, who knows what they would do? My theory about them is that their first and primary motive is thievery--but that also fits with harming and dominating Syria. I'm not sure what Syria's oil situation is, or what it may be a route to, but at the least such a military move will draw more money out of the thinning American cow, and grab more real estate for the Empire of Halliburton. And, of course, by decimating the area of the Syrian border, they will provide a buffer for the capitol of their thievery, Iraq.
It's scary how disconnected Bush is--and how dependent on his handlers. I shudder to think of him, or any of them, with their fingers on the nuke trigger.
But there will be hell to pay at home, if any such thing is done. Some fear martial law here--with LA as precedent. I think the country's too big, and they don't have the personnel. And they're not interested in government. They don't want to be bothered. They're just into looting, grand scale. So, all in all, I think the Syrian border will remain a place of attrition and occasional bombs and repression--awful, but not major fighting or assault across the border.
What do others think?
