True Face Of "America"

A country of incestuous pedophiles.


SAN DIEGO (March 17, 2007) - Cmdr. Duncan Smith dances with his daughter during the first Father-Daughter Dance at Naval Air Station North Island. The Armed Services, YMCA and the Navy League sponsored the dance. U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Rhonehouse.

Honestly, this is a new low. This isn't even funny, folks. This is a perfect example of what is wrong with the right-wing, and a perfect example of "Ann Coulter" humor.

Tired of this crap? Look here.

Apocalypse Soon?

Rolling Stone put together a panel of left-wing, pinko, anti-war crazies and asked them, essentially, just exactly how bad did George W. Bush screw up the middle east in his so-called "war on terror."

The panel included such well-known radicals and communist sympathizers as:

Zbigniew Brzezinski, Gen. Tony McPeak (member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under the first President Bush), Michael Scheuer (former CIA agent in charge of the Osama bin Laden unit), Paul Pillar (28 year veteran CIA intelligence analyst and the CIA's former lead Counterterrorist analyst), Richard Clarke (advisor to Presidents Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, and Bush II, and the National Security Council's anti-terrorism "czar" from 1992 until 2003), Juan Cole (Professor of History at the University of Michigan, a world-renowned middle-eastern scholar, and the creator of the influential blog Informed Consent), Chas Freeman (US Ambassador to Saudi Arabia during the first Gulf War and the president of the Middle East Policy Council), and Nir Rosen (fellow of the New America Foundation), and Bob Graham (former Governor of Florida, 1978-1987, Former US Senator, 1987-2005, former Chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence).

The Rolling Stone article is essential reading, if sobering -- even frightening. I excerpt a few of the panel's thoughts:

The Best-Case Scenario:

Richard Clarke: All the things they say will happen are already happening. Iraq is already a base for terrorists; there is already a civil war. We've got 150,000 troops there now and we can't stop it.
McPeak: You have to hope that Iraq devolves into a federal state with three strong regional governments. But that has its downsides: The Turks would go berserk. They would see Kurdistan as a base for the Kurdish insurgency inside Turkey, which has bedeviled them like the IRA in Ireland or the Basques in Spain...
Scheuer: The neoconservatives and their war in Iraq have made Israeli security worse than at any time since 1967. You'll see more and more people trying to launch attacks in Israel who are not Palestinian or Lebanese. None of it bodes well for a Middle East peace settlement.
The Most Likely Outcome:

McPeak: We're going to see a full-scale intercommunal war that may not burn out until one side is all dead, all gone. The Kurds would like to sit on the sidelines, but I don't see how they stay out, especially up in the Kirkuk area, where they sit on a lot of oil. This is going to be ethnic cleansing like we had in Kosovo or Bosnia -- but written big, in capital letters. And we can't stop it.
Chas Freeman: The most efficient way to avoid mass killings is to help the Shiites win fast, consolidate their damn dictatorship and get the hell out. The level of anarchy and hatred and emotional disturbance is such that it's very hard to imagine anything except a Saddam-style reign of terror succeeding in pacifying the place.
Rosen: Our Sunni allies in the region, the so-called moderate states -- dictatorships like Jordan and Saudi Arabia -- are pushing the U.S. to switch sides and support the Sunnis. We've been working up to that, obviously. The whole buildup to a new war against Iran, which sounds so much like the buildup in 2002, is part of that. You no longer hear about Al Qaeda in Iraq. More and more we're hearing about Iran and Shias.
Graham: This administration seems to be getting ready to make -- at a much more significant, escalated level -- the same mistake we made in Iran that we made in Iraq. If Iraq has been a disaster, this would be multiple times Iraq. The extent to which this could be the horror of the twenty-first century is hard to exaggerate.
Brzezinski: If the war continues without any American willingness to accommodate regionally and to pull out, the Iraq War will be extended to Iran. And if we get involved in a war with Iran, that raises the prospect of a twenty-year-long involvement in protracted violence in Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and probably Pakistan. I'm not a prophet, but if the president doesn't change course, then the more grim prognosis is a likely one.
The Worst-Case Scenario:

Rosen: Iraq will be the battleground where the Sunni-Shia conflict will be fought, but it won't be limited to Iraq. It will spread. Pandora's box is open. We didn't just open it, we opened it and threw fuel into it and threw matches into it. You'll soon see Sunni militias destabilizing countries like Jordan and Syria -- where the Sunni Muslim Brotherhood is very strong...
Scheuer: I can't help but think we've signed Jordan's death warrant. The country is already on a simmering boil because of the king's oppression of Islamists. It could turn into a police state like Egypt, or an incoherent, revolving-door-type government like Lebanon is becoming now.
McPeak: The worst case? Iraq's Sunnis begin to be backed into a corner, then the Sunni governments -- Jordan, Saudi Arabia -- jump in. Israel sees that it's threatened by these developments. Once the Israelis get involved, then everybody piles on. And you've got nuclear events going off in the Middle East. That would be about as bad as it could get.
Cole: During the war between Iraq and Iran, Saddam and Khomeini didn't destroy each other's oil-producing capabilities, because they knew it would make each of them a Fourth World country. But if you get a big multicountry guerrilla war, guerrillas could do what they've been doing in northern Iraq: Hit the oil pipelines. Guerrillas aren't calculating it the way states are as far as mutually assured destruction. If you got pipeline sabotage in Iran and Saudi Arabia and southern Iraq, you could take twelve percent of the world's petroleum production off the market. That looks like the second Great Depression.
McPeak ends with an "attaboy" for those who weren't paying attention to reality and voted for George W. Bush in 2004:

McPeak: This is a dark chapter in our history. Whatever else happens, our country's international standing has been frittered away by people who don't have the foggiest understanding of how the hell the world works. America has been conducting an experiment for the past six years, trying to validate the proposition that it really doesn't make any difference who you elect president. Now we know the result of that experiment [laughs]. If a guy is stupid, it makes a big difference.

How in the world did we let this happen?

Dr Fallon,

You said: "This is a perfect example of what is wrong with the right-wing..."

Are you referring to the picture or to the propagandist who runs this blog?

Dizzy.

In case you have not noticed, we get it. You can take pictures and declare falsehoods about them. You can put words in people's mouths (even those that have been dead for many years - e.g. Mahatma Gandhi criticizing Bush). And there is a chance somebody out there will believe you. Thanks for the lessons from Propaganda 101.

Here is one for you: New York, NY has lots of police officers - therefore America is a police state. It's nice but it doesn't hold up against logic and reason (I should not have to explain what is wrong with the above - it is obviously flawed from the logical fallacy it contains). Logic and reason is something that real progressives should value.

Cordially Yours,
Dear Wonderful Sir William Anphanax - Great Leader, Generalissimo, and Humanist beacon of light and hope for all the world against the penguinian fascist war criminal imperialistic forces of Antarctica.

America wastes about 25% of their food. A news report of such egregious wasting is found here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17759883

Use it to send some kind of propaganda message, comrade! This ought to get their attention!

Unknown said...

dude are you guys ALL ANTI-AMERICA wtf is wrong with you guys. If it werent for us the world would be red. And Americans criticizing America? omfg try to live in Africa for a week i DARE YOU. geezus christ maybe us Americans have lived comfortably for too long without having to sacrafice ANYTHING.

Comrades, what about the hundreds of Iraqi children and puppies taken from their homes and murdered so their organs and blood can be sent to Israel? Why is everyone so silent on this issue?

What about the kidnapping of school-girls by the imperialist occupiers in the so-called "South Korea" (Everyone knows that there is only one Korea) to be beaten and used as sex slaves for Israel and AmeriKKKa?

Why doesn't Kim Jong Il just say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH and force those imperialist war-mongering cowards out of the land that they stole? I know that it is not possible for us to understand some of the great wisdom of the dear leader generalissimo, but if anyone has an answer (preferably from dear leader himself), please speak up!

I must say, you are a disgusting and absolutely immoral person. First off, I'll discuss this ridiculous image you seem to have posted.

The said photo is of a man, clearly a military man posing dancing with his daughter. You take this innocent, if not beautiful picture and label it incestuously pedophilic. Is family love incestuous? Or is it only that way in your sick cold Korea? Are children near adults at all promoting pedophility? Or do you not tolerate children in Korea. Also, to label this "US Imperialism" is ignorant and stupid. How is this imperialistic? I'll continue later.

Songun Hater said...

yeah i agree, the only way you could interpret something like that as pedophilic is because that's all you have in your disgusting "socialist" country. you are a threat to the internet, and I must request you take this blog down immediately.

Harry R. said...

Egao No Genki, you spell it as "propoganda." And also, I would advise not admitting to being a propogandinst, for your sake.

Harry R. said...

Yeah, Phillip, they are red and so am I. However, they are a disgrace to Marxism.

Beth said...

Harry, you just pwned yourself. It's NOT "propoganda," you dimwit.

Songun, the picture is obviously a lie, because the evil Amerikkkan Navy man is clearly teaching his daughter the proper "salute" used by all Nazis! I'm sure he wants her to do it properly before she is conscripted into teh evil Amerikkkan military at age 11!
