What did Americans gain from an unaffordable war in Iraq that lasted far
longer than World War II and that put into power Shi�ites allied with Iran?

The answer is obvious: nothing whatsoever.

What did the armaments industry gain? Billions of dollars in profits.

What about President Obama? "A corporate marketing creation," sums up
the distinguished British journalist John Pilger.

Obama is the presidential candidate who promised to end the war in Iraq.
He hasn�t. But he has escalated the war in Afghanistan, started a new
war in Pakistan, intends to repeat the Yugoslav scenario in the
Caucasus, and appears determined to start a war in South America. In
response to the acceptance by US puppet president of Colombia, Alvaro
Uribe, of seven US military bases in Columbia, Venezuela warned South
American countries that the "winds of war are beginning to blow."

Here we have the US government, totally dependent on the generosity of
foreigners to finance its red ink, which extends in large quantities as
far as the eye can see, completely under the thumb of the
military/security complex, which will destroy us all in order to meet
Wall Street share price expectations.

Why does any American care who rules Afghanistan? The country has
nothing to do with us.

Iraq is fast becoming Prez Obama's War

Interestingly Prez Obama and his Family will be
Vacationing in Martha's Vineyard, MA.
Oops but why is the US President required to
stay in that area of Martha's Vineyard where 'Blacks'
are allowed to have their Vacations while the White
"Liberals" have their Vacation places reserved.

Interestingly Prez Obama and his Family will be


Vacationing in Martha's Vineyard, MA.

-Oops- but why is the US President required to


stay in that area of Martha's Vineyard where 'Blacks'

have been traditionally allowed to have their


Vacations while the White "Liberals" have their

Vacation places reserved. {Separate & Un-Equal}

Dang why couldn't the Kennedy's give up two weeks
at their Hyannis Port Compound to Prez Obama and
his Family and put an end to this separate and un-equal
treatment of the First African-American President and
the Man who is the President of All the USA; not just
the parts that Liberal's allow them to Vacation at . . .
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennedy_Compound
Or maybe Liberals think that Prez Obama will feel
more comfortable in that part of Cap Cod that the
White Liberals have set-a-side for for their 'Black'
proteges.
