Just to be clear, it is the neocons who were among the key architects of the war against Iraq in 1991, followed by the embargo that killed half a million children and set the stage for the 9/11 attacks, which were then used to justify the invasion and occupation of Iraq (an ambition long predating 9/11) and the invasion and occupation of Afghanistan, American’s longest military engagement — all of which have killed more than a million people, wreaked political havoc, and made life in those countries (and elsewhere) miserable. Let’s not forget the drone assassination program being run in a dozen Muslim countries. The neocon achievement also has helped drive the American people deep into debt.
Nice crowd Obama is hanging with these days. And that’s no exaggeration. Frederick Kagan, one of the top neocon brains and a signatory of the Project of the New American Century imperial manifesto, now works for Gen. David Petraeus.
See the myth that is squawked by cons that Obama is weak is in fact a myth. He is still killing and spilling the blood of Muslims, Arabs, Pashtuns and other groups like they want. Their real problem and bitching in reality is that he isnt killing them fast enough. Simply him being gone wont change things since most of team red is as blood thirsty as team blue they just change the bull**** they squawk.
