Ex-CIA briefer: Bush administration presented false 'intelligence' to the nation

Many will try to say that it is the democratic party who are the war Hawks.

Gee I wonder who would do that?

They of course provide no proof - they just say that it is so.

Kinda like that speaker fellow that always blames his parties actions on the democrats.

Who you say?

Well if your serious in asking that the following may help:

Then there is :

I may never have called for war (yet) - but I am guilty of continuing the indiscriminate killing of Civilians in My continuation and expansion of the drone war - so continuing a policy of crimes against humanity - all the while while I have repeatedly called for the end of US involvement in Iraq - where the USA should never have invaded in the 1st place for the stated reasons (lies) given.

Why didn't you put a picture of Obama up there? He's killing people, many of whom are innocent kids, just about everyday with his drone strikes?

No problem - I will do so - but the whole idea is presenting those who continually call for war.

President Obama's continuation and expansion of the Drone war and the subsequent indiscriminate killing of innocent civilians "is" a crime against Humanity and started prior to his 1st term in office when he inherited G.W.B.'s wars.

Whether he really means it or not Obama (war criminal) has been calling for the end of US involvement in the middle east wars. That is not true of the war hawks who are calling for an escalation of US involvement including putting more boots on the ground as well as upping the air strikes.

Great if you put up a picture of Obama on your thread, but being an apologist for him, and implying that War and killing innocent people is out of his hands, and the fault of Republicans alone is diishonset!

Now will you put up a picture of Sanders on the top because, he is infamous for speaking out of both sides of his mouth as most so-called liberal Democrats do, and his checkered voting record ensures that he can be both a War monger and a peace advocate simulataneously. He does support the F-35 and has voted for funding War many times. And he was 0ne of 100 Senators who gave his unalloyed support to Israel when it was committing gencide against the people in Gaza.

I put up the picture of Obama the commiter of crimes against humanity.

There is no reason to put Bernie on the list and you damned well know it. He has never called for war.

The only one talking out of both sides of their mouth right now is You.

Show your proof for the accusations you make. Because currently no one should trust you or your buddies as far as they could throw the Washington monument.

So now after what I would imagine is years of supporting Obama, You feel absolved by finally admitting that he was a liar! Now that you have cleaned your hands, you want us to start anew, right? And we should trust that it will be different this time with another Democrat candidate? Both parties answer to the corrupt elite!

I have been giving Obama just deserved shit for selling out for years now.

So

Fuck Off

You got a thing for Schumer because he is not for the people? Well you should know - as he is a New York product.

You planning on doing anything about getting him out of office? Or are you just gonna piss and moan.

I know damned well that there are people in office that call themselves democrat - that have absolutely no care at all for the people - I have gone on record many times saying just that - and I have said that they must be removed from office just the same as the rethuglicans have to be removed from office.

So shut the fuck up with your lies already. Get busy and get your New York population united to remove the evil from office.

Is it just me, or does attacking Libya and Syria seem pretty hawkish? I mean, what is more hawkish than actually attacking a country? Attacking multiple ones?

Well no administration has dropped more bombs on more countries than this current one, our wonderful peace prize winner.

Lying us into Vietnam and millions of deaths might be just a tad hawkish? No?

There is a very slight chance that nuking two cities may come off as a tad bit hawkish to some.

Republicans tell their voters they need to be hawkish because the world is terrifying, and its in their best interest. And then attack at will.

Democrats tell their voters they are about peace and they are the good guys. And then attack at will.

Dem and Rep voters: The dumbest fuckers in the room.

[-] 0 points by turbocharger (1756) 8 years ago

Attacking Libya and Syria would be a good start.

Reinvading Iraq maybe?

The ongoing bombins of Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen and Sudan perhaps?

See how easy it is to fool Democrats. You just smile when talking about "limited connetic actions blah blah blah" and then blast the shit out of someone, the Dem voters just gobble it up.

Or we could go with Vietnam, that wasn't too hawkish, nah.

Or nuking two cities by that wonderful Dem Truman. Real humanitarian there.

If we go any further back in the Dem party, we get into the KKK timeline of the party, probably don't want to go there.

All hail Senator Byrd.

21st track "(All we have is rhetoric)"

We hope that that is enough to get you to agree to do nothing.

OH - but we don't mind if while taking no action to take control of government in a legal manner - that you go out and legally protest how shitty things are and get beaten up and arrested (illegally) by the cops.

If you protest often enough while taking no political action to take control of government - we fully expect that martial law could be called down upon you.

But HEY - that's OK with Us - because we are all about supporting the 1%er status-quo. How better can we protect that then by getting you all to do nothing in the political arena in your state or for your federal representation.

Yes, I do think that 'he' (?) has been flushed out (no double double entendre meant ;-) for being a real neocon. He does not like that word though, so maybe a supporter of, The Democratic Criminal Elite would be more apropos, and acceptable to 'him'.

Of course ''Rethuglicans'' are unconscionable psychopaths - we know this and they are beyond the pale but the USA's Duopolistic System does not need or want Democraps to be exactly the same - as it just needs them NOT To Be Different Enough to maintain The Illusion of Choice so that The Banker, Oligarch and Corporate Tyranny and Imperialist System can continue!

11th track: (We erroneously conflate)

We erroneously conflate the dems and reps - as it provides us with cover as being against the system - while it throws mud at those who do not deserve it - and basically works to help people to choose to opt out of the process rather than make any united attempt to remove the actively evil from government - and so we support the status quo - "of this country being given to the 1%" - while hiding behind a claim of being revolutionary supporters of the people.
