How many times have we been told by liberals, including the media, that we are to blame for the problems in the Middle East?
Usually it goes something like this: how would we feel if someone invaded our country and tried to impose their culture on us? The theory is that our imperialism and occupation of Middle East countries (which countries, exactly, are we occupying?) is the proximate cause of the murders of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and others at the Libyan embassy.
Well, that is no longer the case. Liberals, apologists, appeasers and others can no longer blame the United States.
Why? This man, White House Press Secretary and Special Assistant to the President of the United States, tells us so.
Here is what the Press Secretary told us today:
“We also need to understand that this is a fairly volatile situation and it is in response not to United States policy, and not to, obviously, the administration, or the American people, but it is in response to a video, a film that we have judged to be reprehensible and disgusting.”
Case closed. Our policy is not the fault. It’s the fault of “the film.” Next time some one claims that America’s chickens are coming home to roost, tell them the White House says not true.
The fact is we should be ashamed of the way we have acted from a foreign policy standpoint not only in the Middle East but in South East Asia, and South America. Our policy has been the opposite of the values we claim to believe in. Here is the short list of our “Friends” who our beloved republicans have gotten us into bed with over the years in the name of free market capitalism.
Pinochet 3,000 murdered 400,000 tortured.
Jorge Rafael Videla 30,000 murdered.
Suharto 730,000 thousand murdered
Hussein hundreds of thousand murdered, million tortured
Mubarak thousands murdered, thousands tortured, many by direction of the united states government.
Remember how the world was going to collapse like a row of dominoes, and how it was absolutely necessary to kill 5 million in South East Asia and lose 50,000 of our own non privileged class folks in Vietnam. How is Vietnam doing today, after we were defeated and booted from their country and the evil commies took over? Can we now agree that the war in Vietnam was completely unnecessary?
If you want more unnecessary war vote Republican, all you have to do is open your eyes and watch the news the Republicans are clamoring for war.
They want another American century, and don’t fool yourselves, the cost of it is World War, China and Russia must be contained, or severely maimed, and Islam will need to be defeated (hows that working out in Afghanistan?). If Romney gets elected you can bet we will get further into the war, and from what I understand of our capabilities, our values, and the nature of our enemies, we will lose, and lose big.
