You, Sir, are either horribly misinformed, or horribly ignorant of the facts. Sure, if you Google it that's what you'll come up with. Because the liberal media only reports what they want the Americans to see, and the liberal media is so anti-war that they have decided to leave any good news out.
Oh brother and you call me misinformed? :laugh:
Have you ever bothered to see who actually controls the media? I mean really.
The U.S. media landscape is dominated by massive corporations that, through a history of mergers and acquisitions, have concentrated their control over what we see, hear and read. In many cases, these giant companies are vertically integrated, controlling everything from initial production to final distribution. In the interactive charts below we reveal who owns what.
Take a look. It's not the "liberal media" it's the mass conglomerated corporate media. The same corporations that profit from war are the same ones reporting the nightly news. Doesn't matter if it has a liberal bias or a so called conservative bias. You only see and hear what the corporations want you to. You think they're going to let any of their news networks give them bad reviews? Or do an actual real investigation into their inner workings? Get real man! Wake up and smell the coffee.
You have to find real honest to goodness independent investigative reporters to get the real news. They're fairly easy to find. The mass conglomerated corporate news people call them "conspiracy theorists" to keep you from learning the truth.
Liberal media.
Where was the liberal media when an Iraqi citizen came out to my convoy as were we halted, and offered us food and shelter, and thanked us for helping them? Where is the liberal media when the Afghani children get excited to us as we drive through the towns and wave to us? Where is the liberal media when US/NATO troops are handing out food and water to the people? Or when we build them schools, sewer systems, and power grids? Where was the liberal media when just this week, my convoy stopped to help Afghanis that had flipped a pickup and a little girl got hurt so our medic helped splint her leg to hold it until they could get her to a hospital; and we stopped the Afghani traffic to allow a vehicle to have free access to serve as an ambulance?
Let me guess the corporate media was busy hiding the fact the banks and corporations you and the corporate mass conglomerated media serve have been helping themselves to everything the Iraqi's once owned. Tell me, how is it you missed the mass media build up blitz before "operation enduring freedom"? Which of the "liberal media" outlets was against attacking Iraq over basless allegations? Answer. None. Not one. Where was your "liberal media" then? Cheering for war that's where. Not only are you misinformed you don't even recall history from just ten years ago!
95% of kills are innocent civilians? Do you even know how many hoops we have to jump through to even be able to fire upon anyone from a drone?
Well I know the ones you don't have to jump through. You don't have to jump trough the U.S. Constitution. You know that founding document you swore to protect and defend against all enemies foreign and domestic. Tell me, how is ignoring the constitution protecting and defending it? How do you protect and defend it by turning a blind eye while our "leaders" trample it?
You don't have to jump through the U.S. congress because it it serves the same banks and corporations you do. Your duty isn't to follow the flag where ever big boss corporatism takes it it's your duty to defend the constitution, period. How about doing your duty for a change instead of demanding respect you haven't earned by not doing your duty or is this to much to ask?
Also, cowardly fashion? Since when is using superior technology a cowardly fashion? Are you saying we should resort to using no body armor and getting no real training in order to make it a fair fight?
Fair fight? :laugh:
It's like NS pointed out we only attack little countries with crappy armies so the IMF and World bank can loan these countries money at interest to rebuild after we've destroyed em.
Before you start spouting misinformation and slander in order to advance your opinion (which, by the way, I don't care whether or not conservatives are warmongers or not. It doesn't affect me either way), try thinking first. You have insulted conservatives by saying that "we've been out to kill em all", and you have insulted me personally by calling the strategic tactics used "a most cowardly fashion".
There is nothing conservative about attacking sovereign nations on the flimsiest of evidence and out and out lies. Was Iraq a threat to this nation? No. Did Iraq attack us? No. Was Libya a threat to this nation? No. Did Libya attack us? No. Was Gaddafi a dictator? Yeah so what if he was. What makes him so much worse than the dictators we support?
You've shown that you have no idea of what's going on. You follow orders like a good soldier don't you? Never questioning never asking why we have to keep removing these "regimes" all over the globe.
Where in the U.S. constitution that you swore to protect and defend does it say we have a right to remove dictators from anywhere? Where does it give us the right to attack sovereign nations without a formal declaration of war and before you start in with the UN this and the UN that where does the constitution you swore to protect and defend give a group of anti American internationalists the right to over ride our laws and dictate policy to us?
Where does it give congress the power to cede control of it's war powers over to a foreign power?
No brother I haven't insulted you at all. You have done that by not doing your first duty.
This is who you serve now oh brave one. How about doing us all a favor and try serving your country and countrymen instead? You want real respect? Then earn it.
Oh yeah and before I close I have one more question for you. How do you feel about your brothers and sisters being killed and wounded by (Al Qaeada) terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan while our government, the same government that sent you and them over there flies air cover for, arms and trains the very same terrorists (Al Qaeda) in Libya?
We just handed Libya over to em and gave em a seat at the UN! How's that knife in your back feeling about now? Or didn't you know
that little bit of information? If you're so informed how'd you manage to miss this one?
