The American War Criminal Quiz
“We’re not inflicting pain on these fuckers. When people kill us, they should be killed in greater numbers. I believe in killing people who try to hurt you. And I can’t believe we’re being pushed around by these two-bit pricks.”
Was this…
a) War criminal Nixon talking about the Vietnamese?
b) War criminal Clinton talking about the Somalis?
c) War criminal Dubya talking about the Iraqis?
(Answer: B)
From a Guardian article about the latest U.S. bombing of Somalia:
One of the instruments used was extremely blunt, an AC130 gunship which strafed a village near the Kenyan border. The tactic is well proven in Afghanistan and Iraq: kill everything that moves within given coordinates and then see who you have got afterwards. It’s the military equivalent of drift-net fishing.
In case anyone actually thinks the U.S. gives a shit about the Somalis, here’s a small taste of reality.
