I read that early this morning and was going to post it but thought better of it cause I expected certain groups to claim the BBC new service was biased against McCain.

I am biased against Mccain, he's an old fart that has no business in gov. anymore. As a matter of fact, most don't, but they are there for life essentially and only time they ever leave public service is when they die. This IMHO is bad, because like MCcain and those who have been there for so long, are a bit devoid of reality if you ask me... Also other news org have the same story, cnn, etc. I just usually have BBC as a main source, secondary is Al-Jazeera (which thankfully my tv provider is carrying some form of it (Al-Jazeera America), but back on topic now...
Anyways, it doesn't seem that most of the US public is for any kind of intervention - war-fatigue has pretty much caught up with the nation..And if this is how our politicians comport themselves, then it makes me wonder how seriously they do take it when they did send off so many to the frontlines, because at this point I am really inclined to think that this is nothing more but a game to them. They are playing with lives, but meh, what do they care....
Without getting into a current sociopolitical discussion, let me just say that the themes suggested in Fallout (punishment of morality in an immoral world, the hypocrisy of authority, the petty and violent nature of humankind) can be seen quite clearly even today. Wars are driven by greed, necessity, stupidity, or fear -- and even after the cities have been burnt to cinders and the countryside irradiated, war will never change.

Reason: quote fix
That man is playing Galaga. He thought we wouldn't notice. But we did.
At least in this case there is undeniable proof and caught in action not some lame accusation based on whatever - somehow some people don't use same method when dealing with rumors and set-ups..as a result wrong people suffer. That is shame since CSI used to be fair and idols also used to be nice..when did this all changed to lie?
As Kipling said in his epitaph on a dead statesman
I could not dig: I dared not rob:
Therefore I lied to please the mob.
Now all my lies are proved untrue
And I must face the men I slew.
What tale shall serve me here among
Mine angry and defrauded young?
Of course, nowadays they aren't ones own young: instead of sending in the troops, you just drop bombs from a safe height. And the warmongers don't lie to please their own mob (see the opinion polls), but to please foreigners.

That is a cheap way to wage war..then again - not really surprised. Pretty much anything today pales to past in spiritual sense..
I really wish it does not happen, civil war is just that. No one intervened in the US civil war. Let the Syrians have theirs. I'm sure back when the US had their Civil War either side would of used and did use any weapons available to them at the time.
Don't meddle in the affair of others.
Too late for that - the meddling is already going on and has been since, or before, the war started. The west and some Arab states are arming the jihadists - that's why there is a war in the first place. If they had not armed them, it would have been all over a long time ago. And now, as with Iraq, they're placing full blame on the regime and playing the humanitarian card as an excuse to mount another illegal invasion...
Peace Crusaders (Islamic Jihadists) are the problem. They'll ruin the war racket (according to USMC Maj. Gen. Smedly Butler) for the military militants running the fascist American regime. There can now be no debate that chemical weapons were used against the American people on 11-Sept-2001 by their own so-called "government" (federal corporation subsidiary of world bankster inc.)
Chemical Physics journal, “Active Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe” by Niels H. Harrit, Jeffrey Farrer, Steven E. Jones, Kevin R. Ryan, Frank M. Legge, Daniel Farnsworth, Gregg Roberts, James R. Gourley and Bradley R. Larsen
Quote:
“Based on these observations, we conclude that the red layer of the red/gray chips we have discovered in the WTC dust is active, unreacted thermitic material, incorporating nanotechnology, and is a highly energetic pyrotechnic or explosive material.”
