The U.S. – Still Funding Wars And Telling Lies!

They slaughtered the Indians. They fought the British and the French.

Then the Americans turned on each other. (see above)

Now they initiate wars everywhere.

Friends, we have some news today which needs discussion. First of all, the Wikileaks exposure via some major newspapers show clearly that things in Afghanistan are not what we have been led to believe. In fact, the truth is that the U.S. has been lying through its teeth. What do they say: Truth is the first casualty of war!

I’m sure you’ve been following the Wikileaks story and admired the bravery of Julian Assange who, putting himself in danger, released 91,000 U.S. military reports that show that war crimes have been committed in Afghanistan and things are not going as well as claimed. Surprise, surprise!

The reports detailed allegations that U.S. forces sought to cover up civilian deaths in Afghanistan and described American concerns that Pakistan secretly aided Taliban militants even as it accepted billions of dollars in U.S. aid. What a tangled web we weave, eh?

The next piece of news concerns the approval of $37 billion dollars by Congress for the Afghan war effort.

This $37 billion is in addition to about $130 billion Congress already approved for Afghanistan and Iraq for this year. But this fact will blow you away: Congress has appropriated more than $1 trillion for the two wars since 2001.

Now, I don’t know about you but I find it difficult to get my mind around figures as large as these. And if one trillion dollars had been spent on alleviating world poverty or reducing preventable diseases or on medical research how different out world would be.

Instead, one trillion dollars have been spent on killing folk, destroying their two countries, leaving one of them in total chaos with daily suicide bombings and a government that is completely corrupt while the other is under renewed attack using all the latest military hardware that demented, bloodthirsty people can dream up.

This news today shows clearly that the imperial U.S., despite being nearly bankrupt, is a danger to the world especially given the distinct possibility that it is seriously considering attacking Iran with nukes!

The U.S. has completely lost the plot.

It happened long, long ago.
