World War 3: Freudian flub as Obama outs self as a terrorist?

17 April 2013 (21:58 UTC-07 Tango 16 April 2013)/06 Jumada t-Tania 1434/28 Farvardin 1391/08 Bing-Chen (3rd month) 4711

“Anytime bombs are used to target innocent civilians, it’s an act of terror.”-Barack Obama, President of the United States, 16 April 2013

According to the Bureau of Investigative Journalism,  since 2009 Obama has authorized the killing of 684 innocent civilians in Pakistan, with drone (UAV) strikes.  156 were children.  And that’s not counting the U.S. drone strike launched just a few days ago.

Then there’s the hundreds killed in Somalia and Yemen by Obama authorized drone strikes.

In Afghanistan, the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan says that since Obama took office in 2009, at least 1306 innocent civilians have been killed directly by U.S. led NATO/ISAF operations.  And that’s not counting the U.S. airstrike made on 06 April 2013.

According to Iraq Body Count, Obama has reigned over the deaths of 17563 innocent civilians! And that’s not counting the nearly 100 killed on the same day as the Boston Bombings.  In 2012, articles in the New York Times and Washington Post revealed that Obama was replacing the withdrawn U.S. forces with CIA, SOF and mercenaries (contractors).

Don’t forget to count the civilian deaths in Libya, Palestine (through overt support of Israel), and the ongoing U.S. supported insurgency in Syria.

Then there’s the sudden U.S. support (begun by Bushy Boy Junior) for a government previously considered terrorist; Myanmar (aka Burma in British media).  Ever since the Obama administration began supporting this regime, hundreds of Muslims have been slaughtered, as well as more than 100000 made homeless and being chased out of the country.  The UN declared the Sunni/Sufi Muslim Rohingyas the most persecuted people in the world!  They are being killed, and their homes destroyed or stolen by U.S. supported Buddhists.  That U.S. supported poster girl of human rights, Aung San Suu Kyi, has actually made statements to the media that shows she doesn’t care what happens to the Muslims.

Who’s the real terrorist?

No more hot meals for U.S. forces in Afghanistan: “As a part of the responsible drawdown of operational forces…..commanders in some areas have altered the ration cycle. The same number of meals is provided, but the type of meal may have changed. Commanders have not eliminated breakfast.”-U.S. Army Major Adam Wojack, ISAF

16 Army National Guard troops from the U.S. Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands deployed to Afghanistan.  They are deploying as members of the Guam Army National Guard.

324 airmen of the Delaware Air National Guard deployed to Afghanistan.  Delaware Army National Guard soldiers are now training in Texas for deployment as well.  At least 700 Delaware Guard members are deployed around the World, and state officials say despite talk of pulling out of Afghanistan by the federal government they expect even more of their state militia to be deployed.

In Herat Province, two Italian/NATO troops wounded.  Their convoy was hit by an explosion.

In Jawzjan Province, Mujahideen captured a security check point.  Four cops killed, six wounded and captured.  Mujahideen also captured AK-47s and RPGs. Local government officials say the Mujahideen had help from cops that went over to their side.

Despite billions in tax money from other countries, unemployment is still rampant in Afghanistan.  An Afghan government report says 500000 jobs need to be created within the next year, or the security situation will get worse.

Afghan government officials say they’ve launched a campaign to wipe out 15,000 hectares (37,050 acres) of opium poppies.  But that’s only 10% of this year’s expected crop.  Already 24 Afghan National Police and seven Afghan National Army personnel have been killed in this year’s drug war.  Many were killed by landmines planted around the poppy fields.  90% of the World’s opium comes from Afghanistan.  Who’s buying that much, are there really that many addicts?  (???pharmaceutical companies looking for cheap ingredients for their opiate based pain killers???)

In fact the report says that 80% of U.S. reconstruction contracts might be financing the Mujahideen!  The report is available in PDF at the www.sigar.mil website.  Check it all you happy taxpayers!

World War 3, Africa Front: Obama increases military aid and troops for Somalia, I mean Horn of Africa!

09 April 2013 (00:16 UTC-07 Tango)/28 Jumada l-Ula 1434/20 Farvardin 1391/29 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

“The United States is committed to being a long term partner in assisting the defense forces in Somalia to become professional military forces.”-Caitlin Hayden, National Security Council spokeswoman

U.S. President, and peace prize winner, Barack Obama has just authorized the increased shipment of military aid to Somalia, at the taxpayers expense of course.

The United States pushed for the end of a 1992 arms embargo against Somalia, just so we could provide them free weapons.  Since 2007 U.S. taxpayers have been forced to fork over $133 million USD in military assistance to the pro-U.S., anti-Muslim government.

In January 2013 the United States officially recognized the anti-Muslim government of Somalia.  It was at that time that Obama revealed that U.S. forces helped France in its failed attempt to rescue hostages in Somalia.

In June 2012, Somali military officer, Abdiwahab Mohamed Ali, told regional media sources that the U.S. had 390 personnel incountry, training anti-Muslim forces.   The U.S. military has been avoiding using the term ‘Somalia’, instead referring to their secret Area of Operation (AO) as Horn of Africa.

It was recently revealed that two units of the Indiana National Guard were to deploy to Somalia, oh, I mean Horn of Africa.  Reports said they had been training for two years for the deployment.  Because the U.S. Army realized it’s much, much cheaper to use Regular Army (RA) soldiers instead of state militias, the Indiana deployment was canceled in favor of active Army units.

The ‘Horn of Africa’ (Somalia, Djibouti and Ethiopia) AO, as well as other African AOs, are considered part of the Operation Enduring Freedom mission in the Asian country of Afghanistan.

The U.S. Marine Corps has been training Ugandan troops for deployment to Somalia.  The USMC is helping build up forces from African countries for the Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa mission.

The U.S. has also made two other Horn of Africa countries, Djibouti and Ethiopia, home bases for U.S. drones (UAVs).

Study after study (including those being done by the U.S. government) shows the majority of corruption is being done by the hands of U.S. military and contractors. More than 100 U.S. citizens have been quietly prosecuted by the United States.

Recently a former Soviet soldier, missing in action for 33 years was found.  Now the Warriors-Internationalists Affairs Committee says they’ve tried to help him return to his native Uzbekistan, but he refuses (even though he cried when he heard his brother’s voice on a recorded greeting).  He says he was rescued by Afghans after his Soviet unit was ambushed and he was wounded.  A local village took care of him and he decided to stay. He says he’s been treated better by Afghans: “I have spent most of my life here, there’s nothing to talk about.”

Deputy U.S. ambassador in Afghanistan, Hugo Lawrence, told the local media that an “important decision” regarding the U.S. occupation of Afghanistan will be made, but added “United States of America will remain committed towards the security pact between Kabul and Washington and we emphasize that the pact will prove better for the national interest of the two nations.”
