Seemingly oblivious to the cause and effect of blowback, the Bush “Shocked In Self Awe” and the Obama “Rama Lama Boom Bang” of the past 12 years continues to provide us with ample unreasonable reasoning to continue the perpetual sate of war in the new American Frontier; the American Middle-East. We’ve extended Manifest Destiny beyond the confines of U.S. borders and a century and a half late, flexing our bully-muscle towards the entire neighborhood of Mother Earth with a mental block towards civility that makes John Wayne Gacy and Jeffrey Dahmer the very models of neighborhood welcoming committees.
Abu Yahya al-Libi? Is this even a real person? Sounds a bit more like some divine ditty from a ya ya sisterhood to me. Hmm, maybe Obama didn’t like that movie any more than I did! But sure as hell, there he is in living; ahh dammit! I meant dead color. Somehow in a few short weeks after bin Laden’s death, he is now, uh er uhm was, the infamous, dreaded and much-feared “Senior al-Qaeda”or should that be, in Bush vernacular, Al Kayeeeeeda leader. Yippee ki-ya mother fucker! We got that suddenly senior leader from outa nowhere and we did so suddenly with a missile from outa nowhere! Boom! Bang! Your dead dude! I’ll teach your ass to have a ditty for name!
Why the sudden shift from an almost remorseful, seemingly benevolent modesty to outrageous boasting?
Surely! There are others who think it more than just a bit odd, how from the start Obama insisted upon maintaining only vague references to bin Laden’s death once he announced his wondrously, all be it highly suspicious, unlikely and absurdly unbelievably successful covert operation against the kingpin of terrorism only to now stand atop the rotunda of the Capitol Building to beat his chest like some moron from WWF’s latest “championship match” a few weeks later.
Surely! It’s not odd to just me, that suddenly Obama, with his War Powers Act in his back pocket tickling his ass so much he had to scratch it or go insane, he awoke one morning to the realization that he’d discovered his abilities were nothing less than superhuman and could kill with absolute impunity anywhere, anytime, anyplace.
Surely! Others see the political rhetoric of the current bully administration’s sudden change from “toning it down a bit” to “droning” this shit to death.
This is all about one thing and one thing only; about winning over the right-wing elitist and their demagogues along with the morons who vote right-wing because, well because! For the Bible tells me so! This isn’t about murder for hire, it’s about murder for votes; nothing less and nothing more.
This is about blinding the masses with propaganda that is hell-bent for leather to destroy what civility is left within the world and doing so with the powers that a single individual holds, the powers of POTUS. Not one person with even a miniscule amount of sanity can parrot; “this is a man who cannot do things on his own,” or “the president is not a king and must act within the confines of the system,” for this is in fact, in all sobering, hard-ass reality, a one-man show; make no doubt about it. And it has been well planned to be such for over a half century, since Korea and Vietnam; since Reagan invaded El Salvador, Clinton invaded Kosovo, King George I and II invaded Iraq, Afghanistan and Iraq yet again, since our present example of omnibenevolence, Obama Boom Bang, attacked sovereign countries such as Libya, Yemen, The Philippines and Pakistan and is now rattling his sabre at Syria and even Egypt for Chrissake! And you’d have to be deaf, dumb and blind not to see the sabre-rattling over Iran, so I’ll not belabor that with links.
Surely! I am not the only one who sees the threat to the world in the politics of the now Un-tied States. With people uselessly heading to the polls to vote party lines this November because there is no other choice; well even they can see what’s going on now.
Surely?

We're a mess as a country, our nervous systems all jangling with fear....Awful.

When Empires get to big....they go broke. Rome? Great Britain?
MoHindu :-) - I think that was the goal, to completely incapacitate and exasperate the country, beyond the point of no return, beyond the ability to see a way out. The Nazis did precisely that to Germany in the 1930s
Ande – Empire building at its finest – the U.S. of A.
Jmac – don’t believe that for a second. Obama knew the hand before it was even dealt and he’s damned good at playing the game too.
And what's just as bad are those who are silent now but would be screaming if Romney were conducting the attacks. Liberals are a small, ragtag group at this point.

Un-tied States! ~ !!
Unbreakable - (How you doing?) lots of blinders being passed around by the horse masters. Lots and lots of blinders
Inverted - I think there are a few around, like you, but I fear we'll all be swallowed up in and pushed forward by the hoards of lemmings who prefer to not see what they're running towards at breakneck speed; then sadly, not of our own volition rather by the forward motion of the crowd will unwillingly be plunged into the abyss with them.
That's the funny part about these groups that none of the Politicks can seem to understand, we're not fighting a person or persons, we're fighting an idea, which, you would think we would learn is really tough to fight!!!
Can't nuke an idea!!
Started at the beginning and will end, well, at the end...
again no answer.
But also again, it's prove that the "silent majority" - I think the phrase was coined by Nixon, to demonstrate the invisible but strong policy - doesn't want these things. I do not know one American who says "yes".
And, as far as I know, the opinion polls say the same.
Why then is it, that against the wish of most voters these things go on and on and on.
Why is it that voting is even useless, regarding these matters?
It's none of my business, I'm from the old continent.
But I'm happy to rate this post.
No one is safe in ANY country or anywhere from these threats from the sky, these killers of remote control designed to blast us from the sky.
We got a president who sits around shuffling a 'deck of cards' picking the ones of us to be eliminated from this planet when our card gets picked...
The media is running on over time showing us how 'just and right' this all is and how now we are 'protected' from these stated people who are being killed mindlessly 'over there'.
And might I also mention, now these are perfectly legal to use here inside the US by our law enforcement.
Now, everything is coming together well.
Our government has became the biggest terror of all.
Elect who?? Who will stop this insanity??
What freedom do we have??
... the phrase was coined by Nixon, to demonstrate the invisible but strong support for his policy ...
Whether it was the silent majority or the moral majority, it was never silent, never moral, and CERTAINLY, never the majority.
Lies, built upon lies, built upon lies, and the american people stand by not at all unlike the "good" Germans as innocent civilians, men, women, and children get murdered and with their tax dollars supporting the bloodbath.
Silence IS complicity.
GREAT, GREAT (and courageous) post, Bob

Hurt Locker director Bigelow is planning on doing a propaganda blockbuster for Barack over election time re seals and bin laden. Watch for it at theaters near you. So in 2008 Obama won for being for peace (hypocritically speaking) and in 2012 he wants to win for being War Criminal in Chief.
When good people STILL do nothing. Lots of sand in the ostrich ears of the citizenry! Is there a tipping point for conscience among the majority? KILLING TORTURING DETAINING BOMBING DRONING ... THE AMERICAN WAY!
best, libby
I just read about a flight of the first hydrogen powered drone being launched that can fly without landing for four days.
Big or bigger than a 747.
Surely, we should all start speaking out.
Or listen to the deafening silence that complicity brings.
Doc – I sometimes wonder if we ever truly broke ties with Mother England and we’re still part of some long-term imperialistic plan hidden away like the secrets of the Knights Templar.
Elje – Voting hasn’t mattered squat in this country for decades now, I’m not convinced it ever did. We have and have had for centuries, groups of people leading the world around by its nose and every time we find a way to disconnect the lead, they find a new way to reconnect it.
Mission – How did the words go in Janis Joplin’s song? “Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose.”
Mark – thank you. Yah, those number twos just keep a poppin up outa nowhere, don’t they. I imagine, as long as those number twos are somewhere else, the silence will remain deafening, but I dare say that it ain’t gonna stay “over there” for much longer.
Libby – thanks. It all seems like some sort of surreal life wherein people play the game solely for the sake of playing the game; they become so absorbed in the moves they can’t even remember what the win is about; just as long as they can keep playing the game their way, the end results aren’t important. I’d say that would make for a good Orwellian story someday, but it’s too real to be a story. Perhaps an Orwellian documentary :- ).
Mission – I saw that on the tube the other day and I’m still reeling in horror at the story. It was a topic on MSNBC I believe and as I watched, unable to believe my ears as the reporters almost gleeful announcement that, get this; it’s a great addition to our arsenal and it’s even a “green” drone, running off of hydrogen.” Jesus H Christ! How much more moronically offensive can a person get?? And the scary thing about it is that the drone has built-in autonomy. It’s like Michael Vick allowing all his dogs to run free after training them to kill. This has gone beyond crazy.
Jeremiah – is that a Johnny Cash song : - )
