for those of you consoling yourselves that he's less embarrassing

I have news for you....

.

And, you know, I think TRNN edited this interview with Gareth Porter to the point where he doesn't sound like Gareth Porter anymore. He sounds like liberal fascists-in-denial might prefer him to sound. Too many punches were pulled. He was not as blunt as he usually is. There were spots where I know damn well he had more, and the cogent kind of more, to say, and I don't believe he did not say it.

So... pretty soon we're going to have to leap to our guard whenever we see or hear the word "real".....

BTW, does ANYBODY know who's in charge of Iraq yet?

And this morning we have:

Tariq Aziz: 'Britain and the US killed Iraq. I wish I was martyred'

Indeed!

I think they offered him a deal. I don't think he would have said:

[Iran] had waged war on us for eight years so we Iraqis had a right to deter them.

and other confirming-of-lies things unless he had hopes of being released from prison.

IRAQ ATTACKED IRAN. WE WERE BEHIND IT AND SADDAM OBLIGED. IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST MURDEROUS CONFLICTS IN HISTORY.

So either Aziz purposely put it that way to please the powers who want to attack Iran [again] or the paper purposely misquoted him.

I mean, he even said he wouldn't speak ill of Saddam as long as he was in prison.... I don't get the logic of THAT, unless they're pressuring him to dis Saddam for them and help vilify Iran. I think I'd be wishing I'd been martyred after enduring the kind of shit they've put him through. I also know, now, that we were being fed all those horror stories about Saddam and his sons precisely so we could go in there and accomplish what the economic hit men and the jackals failed to accomplish. So we cannot even, with confidence, say they were as heinous as they were made out to be.

It is said that the Sunni Iraqis miss him and the Shia Iraqis revile him. I'm not even sure THAT is true either. Obviously, SOME Shia revile him, but they might only have been the fundamentalists who reviled his secular state, and the rest of them were fine with it. I know for certain a whole lot of Iraqis are wailing STILL over the demise of Saddam.

Let's face it. We're the fuckers, the wholesale slaughterers, and they've been brainwashing us for our whole lives.

Thanks,

I didn't have a lot of background there, the quote caught my eye, but your observations lend credence to the fact that that is exactly what it was intended to do!

You are most welcome. I might not have noticed it if you hadn't brought it up and it was a good opportunity to eyeball the propaganda state... which none of us should let run its course on us without a fight!

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so.
—Ronald Reagan

Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak.
—Martin Luther King

We're all fucked. I'm fucked. You're fucked. The whole department is fucked. It's the biggest cock-up ever. We're all completely fucked.

Anyone calling Obama a leftist, liberal, or progressive needs to have the stupid beat out of them.
—Old Uncle Dave

As for the Taliban ... their stated grievance is the same as Gen. Washington’s in our war with the British: If you want this war to end, get out of our country.
—Pat Buchanan

Obama-era drone warfare ... in general looks like Bush-era drone warfare on steroids.
—Scott Horton

There has to be altruism in the universe.
—Frank Drake

The morons in Washington are pushing the envelope of nuclear war. The insane drive for American hegemony threatens life on earth. The American people, by accepting the lies and deceptions of “their” government, are facilitating this outcome.
—Paul Craig Roberts

I am a child of the South. Janet Napolitano tells me I need to be afraid of people who are labeled white supremacists but I was raised around white supremacists. I am not afraid of white supremacists. I am concerned about my own government. The Patriot Act did not come from the white supremacists, it came from the White House and Congress. Citizens United did not come from white supremacists, it came from the Supreme Court.
—Cynthia McKinney

No one has to "marry" anyone else politically; no one has to embrace every tenet or belief that an anti-imperialist ally might hold. You simply have to say: "All of us, regardless of our other views, believe this truth to be self-evident: dismantling the empire will bring immediate and enormous benefits to our nation and to the world."
—Chris Floyd

The power of the people on top depends on the obedience of the people below.
—Howard Zinn

...the government only starts listening to its voters once the more corrupt option turns out to be untenable.

· One out of seven American homeowners will probably lose their homes by the end of 2010.

· Only 4.7 percent of distressed homeowners who enrolled in the modification plan have gotten any help.

· Out of Obama's $75 billion program, only $2.3 million has been spent—or 0.03 percent.

Obama's performance on the foreclosure crisis—along with unemployment, the biggest problem America faces—makes Bush's laissez faire approach to Hurricane Katrina look caring and loving in comparison. If ever there were a cause for impeachment, look no further.
—Ted Rall

As self-appointed champions of civilisation against barbarism, they fail to see that a certain barbarism is the flipside of civilisation itself, inseparable from its smooth operation. For every cathedral, a pit of bones; for every artistic masterpiece, human wretchedness and back-breaking toil.
—Terry Eagleton

commenting kaos, sidebar krap, quotes

Here at home and throughout the world people are fighting back against the forces of wealth, privilege, and militarism — some because they have no choice, others because they would choose no other course but the one that leads to peace and justice.
