Obama wins the support of aspiring war criminal
Barack Obama is the worst thing that could have happened to the progressive, anti-war movement. He absorbed it and nullified it. He co-opted it and subverted it.
Colin Powell, the aspiring war criminal, the shamed devil sycophant, has now been guaranteed a leadership position by a guy who has pledged to increase the size of the military, conduct the occupation of Iraq more "responsibly," deliver an increase of American cannon fodder to the unwinnable clusterfuck that is Afghanistan, and open up new fronts in this bullshit "war on terror" that we have inflicted on the world.
Obama was given a chance to affect "change" as a Senator and failed. He campaigned vocally against the Iraq war in his Democratic primary in Illinois. Once he got elected, he fell silent.
He spoke out against telecom immunity, but when it came time for the actual vote he slapped his constituents across the face and dared them to complain. They didn't.
He chose Joe Biden, self-described Zionist and early Iraq-war propagandist, as his running-mate. No one talks about Joe Biden.
See, as long as people keep voting for the lesser of two evils, it gives the lesser evil a shield from accountability, and the freedom to remain evil and to become more evil as long as the threat of greater evil is there to play its role.
Obama is just a smaller step in the wrong direction, not the beginning of incremental improvement.
