the US is a place that harbors the most war criminals
the past and present criminals, who are still alive, live in luxury
those who are dead have got memorials dedicated to their names
a trinity of Rumsfeld, Bush Jr., and Cheney belong to the 2000s
the US created and trained Islamists who then turned against the US
a well planned/organized/coordinated attack shocked the US
it was new for the US which was used to attacking other countries
the world’s greatest violent power just couldn’t face reality
that it was a terrorist state; also, the greatest the world has ever seen
the US hates to hear such things – the news media rarely discusses this
US congresswoman Ilhan Omar was attacked from all sides
when she reasoned with hawkish US Secretary of State Blinken
“We must have the same level of accountability and justice for all victims of crimes against humanity. We have seen unthinkable atrocities committed by the U.S., Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan, and the Taliban. I asked @SecBlinken where people are supposed to go for justice.”
Omar also included the Taliban, Afghanistan, and Hamas
in reality, all 3 are no match to the violence the US and Israel commit.
it is the US that has turned Afghanistan into such a dreaded place
the Soviet Union was lured into Afghanistan by the US
then with the help of Pakistan & S. Arabia,
the US created the Taliban to fight the Soviets
Hamas is Israel’s creation; it wanted to weaken the PLO
Arwa Mahdawi of the Guardian sarcastically points out the US hypocrisy:
“Here are the rules, OK? The United States is the greatest, most moral country to ever exist. It brings democracy to all the poor savages in the rest of the world, who are incapable of knowing what’s good for them. It doesn’t commit war crimes, there’s just some occasional collateral damage amid all that democracy-building. Its allies are morally righteous, its enemies are entirely evil. Do not question any of that, do not query American exceptionalism, and you will have a very fruitful career in US politics or cable news.
“Ilhan Omar, alas, seems to have a hard time remembering these rules. The progressive Democratic congresswoman is once again being censured by her own party for what appears to be the crime of being an outspoken black Muslim woman. Nobody getting publicly outraged by Omar appears to have any interest in annoying things like context, but here’s the context for the latest manufactured controversy.”
so when the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers were attacked on 9/11
the US government decided to attack Afghanistan
even though most of the attackers were of Saudi origin
but the next country the criminal trinity decided to attack was Iraq
which had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks at all …
but if the US decides to go to war, who can reason with this Super Rogue
the false excuse provided for the US war against Iraq was WMD
that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction; so Saddam is a danger
it was a blatant lie which resulted in more than 100,000 Iraqi deaths
Iraqi prisoners were tortured and humiliated at Abu Ghraib prison
the country was destroyed and gave birth to ISIS or Islamic State
which gave the US another excuse to fight Muslim terrorists
nothing happened to Donald Rumsfeld, Bush Jr., or Dick Cheney
Rumsfeld, on the contrary, wrote a book and made money
there was a petition to prosecute war initiators for war crimes
but war criminals of the rogue state are beyond the grip of law …
