It is Not Always What it Seems

I have stated that the first WTC terrorists drew the Twin Towers with planes going into them in advance of 9/11. I have also said in conversations with Bill Kristol back in the ’90s that he argued to remove Saddam, Assad, and Qaddafi, and we would bring peace to the Middle East. I told him that would never happen because the region is not divided by the borders we drew, but by religious cultures. General Wesley Clark explains the same thing. Not everything is what it seems. We did not prosecute Ukrainian Nazis because they also hated Russians. We have messed up the Middle East all for Neocon aspiration, just as we entered Vietnam, only because we thought Russia was involved, and we were wrong – it was just a civil war.

Robert McNamara (1916 – 2009) was a leading Neocon that pushed the country into the Vietnam war.  He was famous for saying: “I learned early on never answer the question that is asked of you. Answer the question that you wish had been asked of you. And quite frankly, I follow that rule. It’s a very good rule.”

Before he died, he finally admitted that they were wrong, particularly in their assessment of Russia as a threat. The perception that Russia is a threat is still dominating the agenda today. The propaganda that Putin is a KGB guy who wants to re-establish the Soviet Empire is absurd. In the 22 years that he has been in power, he has neither tried to re-establish communism nor has he sought to retake the old Soviet states like Poland, the Czech Republic, or even Ukraine. The same claims today about Russia are the very same ones that justified Vietnam.

McNamara died with the guilt of sacrificing 58,000 Americans on the Neocon altar of war.
