(l NP ) great speech Mr Obama

[Joseph Tracy]

Love you Mike , but I think it was  a bunch of little lies packaged  
around a big lie. The Big lie is that we were somehow liberating or  
helping Iraq. After killing half a million children through sanctions  
we proceeded to kill between a half a million and a million non  
combatants by dropping bombs everywhere and facilitating a giant  
civil war between Sunni and Shia, also driving millions out of the  
country. Got the oil contracts though. Thank the Good Lord for that.  
As far as the consistent heroism of US Troops: Abu Graibh, helicopter  
hunting  of anyone who runs, raping teenage girls then executing  
them. Now Obama has presided over the escalation of mindless violence  
in Afghanistan. He is a big wimp, a gutless coward,  a  professional  
pimp for banksters and hired killers. Other than that he does have  
nice manners and a noble and lofty gaze into the distance. He can  
also  talk without the wire feed into his ear.
