Four More Years Of War -- Just For Starters

Friday, July 30, 2010


Obama also campaigned on no mandate for health insurance.



Obama did not so much campaign on escalating the Afghanistan war but on a foreign policy focused on expanded diplomacy. Once in office, when MacChrystal lobbied him for another 40,000 troops, Obama spent 3 months allegedly studying and reviewing our Afghan strategy and plans. The impression left was that Obama could go either way -- He could satisfy MacChrystal or he could bring all of the troops out and end the wars.



It was a typically deceptive move on Obama's part. I don't think there was ever any question of his desire and determination to continue where Bush left off, but that's not what his administration told the media.



Candidate Obama's talk about Afghanistan, his support for war in Afghanistan, was always framed in terms of the past. And Candidate Obama was always equivocal about what he would do as president, because "nobody can predict what conditions on the ground and in the world would be like after 1/20/09".



Obama left it up to listeners to infer whatever they wanted, believe whatever they needed to believe about him in order to get their votes.



Now we know that Obama is an agent of the Establishment Elites.
