John McCain Again Praises the Surge

John McCain is truly delusional. Yesterday on CNN with Wolf Blizer he was once again saying how he had the foresight to recommend the surge and that because of the surge the US is now winning the war in Iraq.

These are the wake up call headlines from an article today in the Washington Post:

“Suicide attacks kill 57 in Baghdad, Kirkuk”

Unfortunately, John McCain is beyond wake up calls. He is already basically brain dead. McCain is saying that the US will be able to soon leave Iraq because we have “won” the war. That “freedom and democracy” will be the order of the day in Iraq in a stable country. His comments only show how ignorant he is about the nature of the conflict in Iraq.

The Shiites and Sunnis have been at each others throats for hundreds of years. While the surge calmed things down for awhile as US forces draw down you can bet that violence will once again take an upward path.

As for the withdrawal of American troops neither McCain or Obama have been completely honest about American intentions in the region. The large scale permanent bases that we have constructed in Iraq allows the US to control the airspace and battle theater over the entire Mid East region. No matter who wins the US presidential election it is highly unlikely that we will withdraw from those bases, no matter what the Iraqi’s want us to do.

Not only is the American empire the occupiers of Iraq we are old fashioned colonialists. The empire’s leaders think that they must secure the Mid Eastern oil fields to fuel the empire’s faltering economy and war machine. As McCain more honestly states in a moment of candor we will probably be in Iraq for the next one hundred years.

Media Thinks Europe Hating an American President is Good

In a display of how far the American mainstream has fallen in journalistic standards the media is now up to their necks in promoting the claptrap of stating that an European trip by Barrack Obama where Obama is actually liked and respected may be a bad thing for America.

When you see this type of retarded thinking you can’t help but feel a sinking feeling as to the future of American journalism. When the media stops thinking for itself and is only reading off John McCain campaign talking points it is in truly sad shape. Has the media really become such a slave to the far right or has it become that lazy and indiscriminate?

Do these people and John McCain really thing that it is in America’s best interests to have our European allies, who are democracies by the way, loath us as in the George W. Bush years? Do we really want to be hated around the world because we keep electing leaders who have a warped sense of what American policies should be towards the rest of the world and that loves military adventurism more than the rule of law?

The American mainstream have apparently gone brain dead and has been reduced to accepting crap from political operatives and then repeating it from a teleprompter screen as they make their broadcasts.

Are You on the Terrorist Watch List?

Don’t be too surprised if you are. Just try to fly to anywhere and you will soon find out. The super sized and extremely active Department of Homeland Security is adding over 20,000 names to the terrorist watch list each month. The list now has over one million names on it. Do you feel safer now?

The size of the list demonstrates how ridiculous the Bush administration’s never ending so called “war on terror” truly is. If there were anywhere near 1,000,000 active terrorists working to bring down the US from within we would be in a world of hurt. I doubt seriously if the airlines will even still be flying.

For those who are on the list it is a nightmare to try to fly anywhere. What if you have a common name, like Robert Johnson, which is on the list? You will be detained at the airport, perhaps for hours, while you try to convince the authorities that you are not a terrorist.

If you have any kind of Muslin name you really have a problem. But then so do all those thousands of good guys with the all American name, Robert Johnson. What can you make of a government that tells its citizens that at the beginning of the Iraq war there were only a few thousand terrorists in all the world and that is now adding 20,000 names a month to a terrorist watch list?

Do the words incompetent, careless, clueless, and reckless come to mind?
