“It’s always hard in the beginning of a war when you have all of the hype about how awful the enemy is, and the enemy is always awful. and certainly ISIS is no different–it’s horrible just like Saddam Hussein was horrible, just like Al Qaeda is horrible and the Taliban is horrible,” said Medea Benjamin, the co-founder of CODEPINK, a group that has been visibly active against the new U.S. bombing campaigns. “The beheadings are particularly impactful on people’s sense of outrage.”
Adding to the anti-war movement’s difficulties is that “this is a different fight than the ones we’ve had before…it’s a much more complicated situation, it requires much more public education, much more understanding the issue,” said Stephen Miles, the advocacy director of Win Without War, a coalition of about 40 progressive groups.
Organizers also say that media outlets have played a big role in encouraging support for war. Some prominent figures like MSNBC’s Chris Matthews have voiced skepticism and opposition about American intervention. But that’s more the exception than the rule. “War time is when TV screens are full of former generals and hawkish politicians, and reporters are busy transmitting official claims,” wrote Peter Hart, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting’s activism director, in a September blog post criticizing media coverage of the intervention against ISIS.
Compounding these obstacles for the anti-war movement is that the election of President Obama in 2008 deflated activism in opposition to Middle Eastern wars. CODEPINK’s Benjamin said that the decrease in peace activism can be attributed to a focus on domestic issues, frustration at the inability to change U.S. foreign policy, Democratic support for the president and Obama’s opaque drone wars. “We’ve never been able to have a big demonstration, anti-war demonstration, ever since Obama came into office. So that’s number one–the whole peace movement is really a shadow of what it was under Bush,” she said.
Trashy whore Medea's been offering excuses forever and a day.
But her whore ass and David Swanson TV dinners and all the other whores are the problem.
For two years now, I've called out Medea's 'protest' literature on The Drone War for slamming this or that person but never Barack Obama. There are articles she's written condemning The Drone War that don't even mention Barack.
She's a dirty whore. She was just in Latin America a few months back saying we in the US had to worry because the next president might be worse than Barack.
Worse?
How?
We're spied on, he kills people with drones, he's apparently after Julian Assange and Ed Snowden, he's started one war after another.
If there's not a movement in the US -- and there really isn't -- that's on the heads and asses of whores like Medea who've spent the last six years applauding Barack and refusing to call him out.
Alex Kane is a worthless piece of human s**t.
If that upsets Kane or anyone else, too damn bad.
Some of us take peace seriously.
Medea doesn't, to her it's just a way to elect her personal faves.
But some of us aren't cheap whores.
"Iraq snapshot" (The Common Ills):
Wednesday, October 8, 2014. Chaos and violence continue, Barack's
'plan' continues to fail, another helicopter is shot down in Iraq,
Americans are unimpressed with the 'plan,' Jimmy Carter joins Leon
Panetta in criticizing the 'plan,' the State Dept struggles to find
success with the 'plan,' Brett McGurk ignores the lack of success by
Tweeting about the US military, apple polisher Michael Cohen attacks
Panetta, Save The Children calls for attention to the possibility of
civilian casualties, A.N.S.W.E.R. organizes a protest for October 10th,
and much more.
If you're a cross-eyed loser with a douche goatee, you learn to lie to yourself daily. But that still doesn't excuse Michael Cohen lying to the rest of us. In a column for The Daily Beast, Little Mikey attacks because that's what fat bitches do when the objects of their lust are in trouble. That's how Michael came to blame not Barack but the American people for Barack's lie that "If you like your health care you can keep your health care." I really don't like overgrown children who masturbate in public and pretend like they've made a logical argument.
Like an incontinent beast, Cohen just sprays all over the floor:
When Panetta became CIA director in 2009, he was demonstrably unqualified for the job. He had no background in foreign policy, intelligence or national security. His most apparent and highly-touted skill was that he understood his way around bureaucratic Washington.
I'm sorry, a member of the US military has no background in foreign policy, intelligence or national security?
A First Lieutenant in the Army has no background in foreign policy, intelligence or national security?
I'm sorry what was Leon Panetta doing at Fort Ord?
Oh, that's right, intelligence.
Cohen's such a sad little man.
Panetta dared to criticize Barack Obama and that's too much for Cohen.
So he damns Panetta for . . . advocating for a big budget for the Defense Dept when he headed the Defense Dept and for advocating for a bigger budget for the CIA when he headed the CIA.
These are not shocking developments but the natural aspect of the job.
Cohen lies throughout and deliberately distorts Panetta's remarks and statements.
The reason for that is, Cohen's point is to ensure that no one explore what Panetta's arguing.
Cohen wants to shut him down, wants to destroy him.
People like Cohen do the world no good at all.
He can string together words but he can't actually write and his plodding prose is an embarrassment.
He can't present ideas or even repeat them.
His thinking is simplistic and infantile.
Panetta favors US troops in Iraq.
I don't.
Panetta believes that US troops on the ground will assist Barack's (thus far faltering) military operation.
I've seen this before, we all have, Bully Boy Bush did it with the 'surge.'
With the 'surge' -- as with Barack's 'plan' -- the focus was on the toys not on the work. Both men see/saw the US military as toy soldiers to be played with.
Both men swore a political solution was the answer but couldn't stop playing war games and do the damn work required to get to a political solution.
Putting US troops on the ground in Iraq -- and, yes, they already are -- is putting their lives in danger.
Why?
For a political solution that the administration wants but can't define and refuses to work towards?
US troops will do their mission -- they did during the surge -- and it will be for naught because Barack's got no plan for how a political solution comes about.
Troops will be used, as they were by Bully Boy Bush, to defocus from the real issues.
That's misusing the military.
I'd argue it's grounds for impeachment.
Panetta would argue that US troops on the ground will make a difference because you'll not just be causing scattering by bombing but you'll have forces on the ground to fight, round up, capture, etc in the aftermath of bombing.
And I'll gladly allow Panetta's points may be accurate.
Yet none of that provides a political solution for Iraq.
And so why is the US military being (mis)used?
There is no military solution in Iraq -- even Barack admits to that. Barack repeatedly states the situation requires a political answer.
So how about you figure out how that comes about?
Instead, Barack wastes time getting more nations to agree to bomb Iraq.
John Pilger (Independent of Australia) observes, "As Barack Obama ignites his seventh war against the Muslim world since being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, the orchestrated hysteria and lies make one almost nostalgic for Kissinger’s murderous honesty."
If bombing is the point, the US military can bomb Iraq over and over for years. There's no need to round up other nations.
I can take on Leon's points. (And can and have done so face to face -- I know and like Leon.)
Cohen can't.
And won't.
Because he exists solely to worship Barack Obama.
There is nothing more disgusting than a teacher's pet and that's only more true after the age of 20.
Tomorrow, Michael Cohen will probably work on attacking the American people (again) and attacking Jimmy Carter. Justin Sink (The Hill) reveals the fairy tales are losing their luster with the American people:
Some 51 percent of respondents in the CBS News poll released Wednesday said they disapprove of the job the president is doing with the radical jihadist group, while just four in 10 approved. Those numbers are slightly worse than a month ago, when 48 percent disapproved of how Obama was approaching the situation.
Among those disapproving? Former US President Jimmy Carter. Cheryl K. Chumley (Washington Times) explains, "Former president Jimmy Carter took a harsh jab at President Obama this week, telling the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that the commander-in-chief dragged his feet on confronting Islamic State terrorism."
Carter has previously noted the possibility of civilian casualties. It's a reality most refuse to acknowledge. Save The Children notes:
Among many realities most refuse to acknowledge. From this morning:
In other reality-based news, All Iraq News notes an Iraqi helicopter went down in Baiji. IANS adds:
Technical malfunctioning during landing apparently caused the chopper to crash while it was flying over al-Seiniyah area, just west of the refinery city of Baiji, some 200 km north of Iraq's capital Baghdad, the source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.
The crashed chopper was one of the three carrying food and ammunition to an army force stationed at the besieged oil refinery outside Baiji. The besieged troops have been fighting the Sunni militant groups, including the Islamic State (IS), inside the vast refinery area for months.
Iraqi Spring MC notes rebels are saying they downed the helicopter -- and they were in the area bombing a Baiji refinery.
Downed by mechanical failure or by an attack, it's a possible outcome that really hasn't been addressed. Last Friday an Iraqi helicopter was shot down. If that happens to a US helicopter, I guess the media will finally be interested in exploring possible outcomes.
So what did happen to the helicopter?
This evening, Kirk Semple and Omar al-Jawoshy (New York Times) report:
Barack's 'plan' is a failure.
Attacking Panetta won't change that.
At the State Dept today, spokesperson Jen Psaki made another attempt at defining success:
QUESTION: Secretary Kerry acknowledged today there were some setbacks and some successes with the Iraqi Security Forces. You were going to discuss yesterday some of the successes that --
MS. PSAKI: Sure, I talked about a few of them. And I think, obviously, there have been – as he said today, there have been some successes and there have been some areas where we know more work needs to be done. And we’re continuing to work with the Iraqi Security Forces to strengthen them. As you know from the assessment that we’ve done, we’ve assessed that there are certainly some that need more training, there are some that are fully prepared to fight. And so we’re working within those constraints. But let me just give you a few.
I think I mentioned these yesterday, but just in case you weren’t there for it, we’ve already seen Iraqi Security Forces retake and hold land at the Mosul Dam, Amirli, and push back ISIL forces around the Haditha Dam. They’ve also refortified around Baghdad. We’ve seen reports, as I mentioned yesterday, that Kurdish forces, with the support of Sunni tribes, retook the Iraq-Syria border crossing at Rabia last week, which fell to ISIL in June. This is an encouraging development as it will make it harder for ISIL to operate across the border.
And there were also reports within the last week that Iraqi Security Forces, working in conjunction with Sunni tribes, have pushed back ISIL in the town of Dhuliya. And so those are some of the areas where we’ve seen some successes. But obviously, we’re not naive of – about this and there’s much more work that needs to be done, which is why we’re working closely with them.
Well that's not impressive.
More to the point, what does any of that have to do with a political solution?
Not a damn thing.
For the State Dept, Brett McGurk is the lead on the diplomatic effort for Iraq.
But you'd never know it to follow him on Twitter. Today's Tweets included:
What does any of that have to do with reaching a political solution in Iraq?
Not a damn thing.
But the State Dept, like the White House, can't point to any real accomplishments in Iraq.
In 2003, Barack's efforts -- done by Bully Boy Bush -- would have been called out loudly by the peace movement. Today? Not so much. While so many are silent in the US, the A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition is calling for action:
Join us to demand:
• Stop bombing Syria and Iraq!
• U.S. out of the Middle East!
• End U.S. aid to Israel!
• Money for jobs, housing, healthcare, education, not war and occupation!
President Barack Obama is coming to San Francisco to raise tens of millions of dollars for the Democratic Party’s “war chest” and upcoming elections, as the peoples of the Middle East suffer a new U.S. bombing war, this time expanding into Syria and deepening in Iraq. The Pentagon generals are demanding “boots on the ground” in Washington’s quest for total domination of the oil-rich region. Gaza is still under rubble and blockaded by Israel, due to both Democrats’ and Republicans’ military aid to Israel. We urge everyone to come and protest Obama’s visit, to say: Stop bombing the people of the Middle East, U.S. Out! Money for Jobs and Housing, Not War!

Carter has previously noted the possibility of civilian casualties. It's a reality most refuse to acknowledge. Save The Children notes:
As Australian fighter jets drop their first bombs over Iraq, aid
agency Save the Children stresses that military action by all must
remain in line with humanitarian law and prioritise the protection of
children and other civilians.
Aram Shakaram, Save the Children’s Program Director in Iraq said: “Children are already the innocent victims bearing the brunt of this war. Traumatised by the brutality of fighting even before the latest bombing, children are also at risk of being injured or killed as these air strikes are scaled up. It is the responsibility of all parties involved to make sure children and other civilians are kept safe.”
The children’s aid agency is particularly concerned about the on-going use of explosive weapons in populated areas, including Fallujah and Kirkuk, which have seen constant bombardment and fighting for weeks. This is the largest contributor to the killing and maiming of children in conflict.
“Air strikes, artillery fire, mortars and shelling are being used in towns and villages and risk killing innocent children. The impacts of these explosive weapons are indiscriminate: they kill and maim children and destroy hospitals and schools. The lethal nature of these deadly weapons prohibits our teams from delivering life-saving aid to children and families that need it,” Mr Shakaram added.
Save the Children has been working in Iraq for 23 years and was already supporting thousands of Syrian refugees in the country before the latest fighting erupted. The aid agency has launched a large-scale emergency response to support hundreds of thousands of the 1.8 million people who have been forced to flee their homes because of the conflict. More than 200,000 people have fled in recent months, many forced to live in abandoned or unfinished buildings, churches, mosques and schools.
“On the ground we’re seeing a dire situation – every day more people are forced from their homes fleeing brutal violence and fearing for their lives. Families are crammed into already-packed classrooms in schools being used as makeshift camps or living in unfinished buildings, completely unprotected from the elements. They are running out money and harsh winter weather is just around the corner. Yet, in some ways those that have escaped are the lucky ones – those left behind face even greater dangers as the fighting escalates.”
Save the Children is calling on the Australian Government to use all of its relevant diplomatic and advisory powers to ensure that all parties to the conflict and those considering military interventions to make the following commitments:
· Not to target civilians or civilian objects, including schools and hospitals
· Not to use explosive weapons in populated areas
· Not to use children in any role in armed groups or forces, including non-combat roles
· Not to use schools or hospitals as military assets
