BULLY BOY PRESS & CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL AID TABLE
CRANKY CLINTON'S PAST IS COMING BACK TO HAUNT HER.
NO, NOT EARLY DRUG USE OR ANYTHING FROM HER TEEN YEARS.
CRANKY'S PAST REMARKS ATTACKING WOMEN ON FEDERAL ASSISTANCE ("DEADBEATS" WHO WERE "SITTING AROUND THE HOUSE DOING NOTHING").
THIS IS A FEMINIST?
FROM THE TCI WIRE:
The silence is deafening.
More war is declared and the so-called leaders of what was once a peace movement are playing duck-and-cover to avoid standing up.
The New York Daily News declares, "Mark another awkward milestone in President Obama’s foreign policy: The United States of America has kind of, sort of backed into combat operations in Syria and Iraq." Trevor Timm (Guardian) goes further:
In 2012, Obama unequivocally said he would end the war in Afghanistan, and chided Mitt Romney the Republican nominee for not promising that. In 2013, Obama said: “I will not put American boots on the ground in Syria.” In 2014, Obama said: “We will not be sending US troops back into combat in Iraq”. At this point, all of those promises have been completely broken.
Worse, the Obama administration has effectively removed the democratic process (and Congress) from any decision making on whether to go to war. We now have ground troops inside Syria without any sort of legal authorization from Congress. Obama explicitly campaigned in 2012 on ending the Afghanistan war, which he has now extended beyond his term. The Obama administration also went into Libya and removed Muammar Gaddafi, despite the House voting against it beforehand.
The war against the Islamic State is morphing yet again despite Operation Inherent Failure's lack of measurable success. Bill van Auken (WSWS) reminds:
When ISIS headed eastward from Syria and overran roughly a third of Iraq, including its third-largest city, Mosul, the Obama administration launched its direct intervention in both countries, conducting air strikes and redeploying some 3,500 US troops to Iraq. Now the intervention has morphed into a war against ISIS dubbed “Operation Inherent Resolve.”
More than a year after that “war” was launched, the grip of ISIS over large swathes of both Iraq and Syria remains virtually unchanged. The desultory character of the US campaign is explicable only from the standpoint that Washington has no desire to destroy the Islamist militia, which it still counts as one of the main fighting forces in the war for regime change, which remains the principal US objective.
The White House announced troops would be sent into Syria.
Repeating, the White House announced troops would be sent into Syria.
Barack declared, "I will not put American boots on the ground in Syria."
But, too bad, that was September 10, 2013.
So many broken promises.
And all those promises
that you made me from the start
were filled with emptiness
from the desert of your heart
Every sweet caress
was just your second best
Broken promises
Baby, I'm amazed
at how long I still believed
How many lies it takes
before someone like me sees
All the tears you cried
They never could deny
that you made love a lie
All those tears you cried
They never could deny
that you made love a lie
-- "All Those Promises," written by Janis Ian, first appears on her album Folk Is The New Black
It's as though Janis composed the theme song for the deprogrammed members of The Cult of St. Barack.
Dan Roberts (Guardian) explains the pretzel 'logic' liars now find themselves in:
Administration officials were left squirming on Friday to explain how sending special forces to work alongside Syrian rebels fighting the Islamic State was compatible with Obama’s earlier promises not to “put boots on the ground” in Syria or “engage in combat operations” against Isis.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest claimed there was still a difference of “night and day” compared with the Bush administration’s invasions, but in the space of a few short weeks a central promise of Obama’s presidential campaign has been undermined: first by conceding that he will not meet his pledge of removing troops from Afghanistan before he leaves office and now by acknowledging a long-term ground presence is necessary not just in Iraq, but Syria too.
Earnest would not say whether the deployments were permanent or would be bolstered, insisting: “I don’t want to try to predict the future here.”
Yet arguably that was exactly what Obama claimed he could do when he ran for office promising to bring US troops home from Iraq and Afghanistan.
In light of all this, all the broken promises, all the wars, Tom Hayden Tweeted:
Hillary will gain presidential stature
Oh, that wasn't in response to that.
The old drunk couldn't Tweet in response to the White House plans because he's never had the spine to stand up to anyone. He's just an ugly gigolo who took his second wife for all the millions he could -- despite his non-stop cheating -- and now bills himself as the "leader of sixties peace, justice and environmental movement."
That's hilarious.
His colleague Katrina vanden Heuvel also couldn't call out Barack.
What of 'brave' Ruth Conniff, the editor of The Progressive?
The woman, the trash, that once bragged on KPFA's The Morning Show that no one she knew had been touched by the Iraq War managed to Tweet or re-Tweet 37 times during the CNBC GOP presidential aspirants debate but on Iraq and Syria on Friday or even today . . .
That's right, boys and girls, zero.
Zilch.
Nada.
Remember: No one she knows was touched by the Iraq War.
Jill Stein's a liar. She's a lot of things but mainly she's a liar. October saw Amy Goodman again announce Jill's appearance in the NYC studio of Democracy Now -- with Goodman hailing her as the Green Party's 2016 nominee.
For Jill's failure to correct that -- repeatedly, she's failed with every media outlet -- the Green Party should select someone else . . . when they pick a presidential candidate in August 2016.
Jill Stein is a liar.
She's not the Green Party's presidential candidate.
Goody Whore and her ilk get so upset when the press does something like this -- the real press, not the beggar media crying "send money!" -- but they have no ethics themselves.
Nor does Jill.
When she started campaigning for the nomination (2016 nomination) we noted her silence on Iraq here and that prompted her to pretend she cared.
But we were right: She doesn't.
And if you doubt it grasp that she's been Tweeting but has nothing to say about Iraq or Syria.
This is an alternative to Democratic Party candidates?
The person who should be the nominee noted:
Cynthia McKinney PhD
Frustrated with the treatment of events in Syria?
Listen to CPR News that really needs your support! http://fb.me/3I5NxVomj
Cynthia may run for the Green Party's 2016 presidential nomination.
