is...why are they lying THIS time?
Cheney and Lieberman, the neo-con and the Zionist, have good reason to lie. It may be puzzling to see these two actually inviting demonization in order to push torture.
It is essential to the neo-con and the Zionist that certain segments of the world believe that "some people in America say" that torture is okay. They don't give a shit about outraging bloggers or even Americans. But they must do whatever it takes to maintain a continual state of warfare and demonization OF AMERICA overseas so that we continue to be threatened by outside forces, which then allows a non-democratic dare-I-say fascist right-wing state to exist here.
That is why they lie.
This is also the reason why we hear such rabid denunciations of the least suggestion of normal diplomatic protocol, be it so prosaic an action as a symbolic handshake with someone who has in the past shown enmity.
ReplyDeletefor sport.
ReplyDeleteThey're not lying, dear BG...It's merely a step to the right.

i'm hoping the outrage forces an investigation.
ReplyDeletecheney doesn't know when to keep quiet. he's building a case against himself.
Cheney is not worrying about building a case against himself. (He's been quite successful at that already, but it doesn't matter (at least not in the post-Cheney, Obama-forgiving-the-past- its-sins world).)
ReplyDeleteThey continue with this line of rationalization of their criminal acts because they have to. Like BG said:
they must do whatever it takes to maintain a continual state of warfare and demonization OF AMERICA overseas so that we continue to be threatened by outside forces, which then allows a non-democratic dare-I-say fascist right-wing state to exist here.I love what seems to be finally getting a toehold today in the much-demeaned (by MSM) but ever-growing netroots (which means all thinking, unindictable citizens with a conscience).
This is what I told my students should happen the week after 9/11 when talk started about attacking countries for the activities of a "selected" few. It was never about anyone "hating Democracy" (from the President's and VP's lips). It was an excuse to solidify the power of themselves and their money people).
Always.
Thanks, BG! Great simple explication of a complicated issue.
You rock as usual.
