Selected goodies from Pompous Pompeo.
"
ecause I’m a military man by training, I’ll be very blunt and direct today: America is a force for good in the Middle East. We need to acknowledge that truth, because if we don’t, we make bad choices – now and in the future
Remember: It was here, here in this city, that another American stood before you.
Rags sez : Pompeo eats a platoon's worth of food daily. / dimwit Pompeo, you're clueless, man.
He told you that radical Islamist terrorism does not stem from an ideology. He told you that 9/11 led my country to abandon its ideals, particularly in the Middle East. He told you that the United States and the Muslim world needed, quote, “a new beginning,” end of quote. The results of these misjudgments have been dire.
Rags sez : Obama's right. Bombing isn't a way to win friends and influence people. You're the idiot.
In falsely seeing ourselves as a force for what ails the Middle East, we were timid in asserting ourselves when the times – and our partners – demanded it.
Rags sez: The US is a bloated empire that fucks over anyone, particularly if they have oil.
...
The good news. The good news is this: The age of self-inflicted American shame is over, and so are the policies that produced so much needless suffering. Now comes the real new beginning.
For those who fret about the use of American power, remember this: America has always been, and always will be, a liberating force, not an occupying power. [b]We’ve never dreamed of domination in the Middle East"
Rags Sez: Huh? Liar, liar pants on fire. Get real. That's all the US has done since 'Nam, in a whole lot of countries.
When the mission is over, when the job is complete, America leaves. Today in Iraq, at the government’s invitation, we have approximately 5,000 troops where there were once 166,000. We once had tens of thousands of U.S. military stationed – personnel stationed in Saudi Arabia. Now that number is a tiny fraction.
So when are all of these missions where we have 800+ bases strewn all over the place going to end, huh?
The US military is like herpes, it never leaves.
Let me be clear: America will not retreat until the terror fight is over. [...] President Trump has made the decision to bring our troops home from Syria. We always do and now is the time, but this isn’t a change of mission.
Rags sez: OK. Let's have a concise definition of the term, "terror". Methinks that Blackwater qualifies as "terror", myself. So bring all military, black ops, and mercenaries out, out out. And close those stupid bases in Syria and Iraq.
