Note Chump fired Preet to preclude such a radical act, but the new USAt apparently wasn't sufficiently vetted for blind loyalty. Seems like a win-win, if Trump goes overboard in attacking Syria.. what could be too much with the murderous snake Assad?? The last time, Russia/Syria sent planes to the same gassed village the next 3 days and wiped it off the map while Americans were celebrating Chump's toughness. I hope Trump goes after the Syrian pilots (Russians too are eminently deserving after their depredations and mass attack on Americans), but a cruise missile into a lower floor or Assad's Palace would have 1000x the effect of anything else. With the Bannon/Trump NSC hacks being replaced by the Bolton NSC hacks, I wonder if the whole focus of the "reprisal" will be switched to Iran. To really distract from Mueller firing or Indictments, Trump needs a real War and Iran fits his pinhead misconceptions.
Thanks for that, Juan. Nimoy was much more than his parts.
Met him at Seatown book signing once, even gave him my book/movie writeup on collapse of Soviet Empire. Cool and distant guy- think Spock soaked into his soul. Did only one known role but became most famous actor in the world!
Yes, indeed. If you ask what the core value of American identity is, of our liberal heritage that distinguished us from our European forebears.. I would say rejection of monarchial privilege and the barbarous practice of torture (common even in England)- I was stunned and horrified by the endorsement and promulgation of torture by the Bush regime, as probably 80% of decent Americans were. It was poison that was spread throughout our military, betraying our most coveted values, and violating every war crimes act. Obama's great failing was not coming down like a hammer on the scum that pushed and practiced this, including Bush officials, Guantanamo's Gen. Miller, and 10-15 of our murdering interrogators. We executed Japanese for doing the things our soldiers did in the idiotically named War on Terror. Instead he dithered, frightened of punishing previous officials (to set a dangerous precedent), and allowed this sickness to remain imbedded in military/intelligence circles, leaving decent soldiers tortured by their guilt at beating innocent taxi drivers to death after hanging by their arms for 3 days. Fire Brennan, CIA officials, EVERY dirtbag defending and endorsing these war crimes... and bring back American morality and decency, the most central reason 80% of the world still dreams of coming to America!!!!
Of course the reason that Iraq was different than all other wars was that soldiers were routinely ordered to kill innocent civilians- setting up checkpoints (even secret) where they machine gunned cars at 50-100M on the 1-2% chance that they were suicide bombers. When they were actually women, children, elderly fleeing the apocalyptic (sometimes on US instruction!!!). That'll mess up your brain forever- not in country, but on return, when the magnitude of your crimes assails you in the safety of split-level America. These guy will be living on the streets for the next 20 years - too bad the ones that snap don't do so on the guilty neocons that cooked up that criminal outrageous.
