The recent massacre of Afghan civilians is appalling, whether by a single soldier or a unit, and the article certainly brings up very interesting points regarding a possible/likely cover-up.
However, the author's frequent use of the terms "imperial" and "colonial" (and even the USA's "Zionist overlords") to describe U.S. foreign policy inclines me to dissociate myself from his views.
I wonder about that too. It would be enlightening to know the actual situation behind this. I refuse to believe that the army's out there arbitrarily killing and burning people. Something went wrong here clearly, but in a country where we've had soldiers executed by people they're supposedly working with, I have some skepticism about whether this is as cut and dried as they're trying to make it seem.
I'm not a "kool aid drinker" or a believer in the "chosen one" but I don't think I'm out of line in needing in second source before I create a protest sign and head for Washington DC.
you left out "Obama regime", Burnt Orange, though Rush Limbaugh uses that term too, its pretty damn polemical. Come to think of it, Limbaugh is a polemicist too, so I take that last part back.
The sad thing is having our troops over there is only creating more terrorists in the long run. And then our actions over there is likely going to create domestic terrorists as well.
James Petras is a nutball. He is a Jew hating racist. He has about as much cred as Louis Farrakhan.
Your clue that this isn't a serious piece should be when you read words like "Colonial" and "Imperial". I really don't think America wants to make a colony of that ********.
